WELCOME TO

NIPA THAI

Discover the most authentic Thai cuisine outside of Bangkok at Nipa Thai, a hidden gem in the heart of London.

Nipa Thai is a beautiful and welcoming restaurant tucked away inside Royal Lancaster London – an independent, Thai-owned hotel located opposite Hyde Park.

Authenticity is at the heart of everything we do; from our Teak décor sourced from Thailand to our traditional all-female, all-Thai kitchen, led by Head Chef Sanguan Parr and Restaurant Manager Kaseam Jongpitakrat, who have both been with us for over 25 years.

At Nipa, which means ‘shining light’ in Thai, we’re renowned for serving the most delicious traditional Thai cuisine in London. We proudly hold the Thai Select Award from the Thai Government for our authenticity.

OUR HEAD CHEF

SANGUAN PARR

The all-female kitchen at Nipa Thai is led by Head Chef Sanguan Parr, who has been cooking the most delicious traditional and authentic Thai cuisine at Nipa for over 25 years. Sanguan is by no means new to the restaurant industry despite only ever having one job – cooking at Nipa Thai!

 

As is tradition in Thailand, Sanguan first started to learn how to cook at school and by watching her mum at home. Passionate about food, she hosted many dinner parties and quickly realised that people wanted to learn how to re-create her dishes, so she started to teach as a professional cook at a friend’s house. Luckily for us, she saw a vacancy at Nipa and worked her way up through the ranks to Head Chef and the rest, as they say, is history!

 

Sanguan’s signature dish is her Pad Thai, which historically in Thailand would be served from street food market stalls in a cone-shaped banana leaf. However, her favourite dish to cook is Tom Kha; a chicken and coconut soup with a delicate balance of flavours – it’s sweet, sour, salty and spicy all at the same time!
