Thai Lemongrass Edinburgh

Booked a table last minute and managed to get in. So glad we did. This restaurant was recommended by the guest house we were staying in. Amazing food, good service, friendly and accommodating. Highly recommend

I'm literally just back from a work lunch at Thai Lemongrass and was very very impressed. From the outside the restaurant looks very rustic and authentic. Stepping through the double-doors the restaurant has managed to stay very traditional, with fan covered lights on the ceilings, bamboo place mats and of course, the very Asian themed fish tank in the wall.

There were about 15 of us and we were split in to two tables and practically had the whole restaurant to ourselves. We chose from the three-course lunch menu. A starter, a main and icecream and tea/coffee for £8.95 per person. We thought the potion sizes would match the price bracket but we were wrong! Very generous in portions and the food was extremely tasty!

To start, I opted for the chicken satay skewers. This was 3 skewers, smothered in a peanut satay sauce with a dish of rosewater and cucumber to accompany. Veyr nice and the chicken was cooked perfectly.

For my main I had the beef thai curry with aubergine and chilli. This was served in a bowl with a seperate individual bowl of fragranced steamed rice. I would go as far as to say this may even be too much for a lunch time portion (especially since I was coming straight back to work) but I still ate almost all of the food as it was so deliciously tasty!

Pudding was vanilla icecream, one good sized scoop with a slice of orange. the icecream was very nice, and seemed pretty healthy.

The service was very good and the staff were polite and friendly. At £8.95 per head for this lunch I would highly reccommend, and I will definitely return!
