Siam Restaurant and Bar (Stockbridge)

• The restaurant was recently taken over and re opened in August this year following a full kitchen refurb and a few little touches to the inside and exterior
• I was keen to find out if Siam was going to make the cut
• Even the pork was quite nice actually
• I had the seafood curry which was presented in an open parcel wrapped in aluminium foil
• I wish there was more a kick in its spiciness
• Not all curries are meant to be spicy (if you didn't already know that)
• The chicken was mince and you can definitely see the prawn in there
• It meant fantastically with everything you put the sauce on
• Though I don't really know how you're suppose to eat it with the the vege
• Nonetheless I was distracted from that point by how absolutely tasty it was
• I was (and everyone else on the table) was way too full
• Siam Restaurant Edinburgh is a great addition the Edinburgh food scene
• I told myself this year that I wanted to try more Thai food so I was excited when the Zomato Meetup dinner was at Siam this week
• This intimate little gem is situated in the basement which makes it perfect for a romantic date &ndash
• Another meet up with Zomato brought me to this little Thai restaurant situated in a basement on Howe Street
• This site has been taken over from a previous Thai with perhaps a below par reputation
• The folks behind it are so passionate about their food that you are not going to be disappointed with your meal here
• I've never lived in the city with such a high number of Thai restaurants as Edinburgh has
• The setting of the restaurant is very intimate in the first room when you enter but once you pass to the room on your right
• The ceiling gets higher and this room is perfect to sit in with a group of friends
• The table was set perfectly with very funky cutlery
• The host Chris and his wife were lovely and very attentive during our whole meal
• This was a nice touch since most of us were starving after work
• A crispy chicken wing that was cooked to perfection and I would go back to have it anytime
• The sun dried pork was very lovely and it was accompanied with a chilli sauce
• We also had a seared scallop with tamarind sauce which was nice but it was probably my least favourite since this was one was good but the others were simply awesome
• The last one was thai calamari which I could go back for anytime
• The portion was huge and I really enjoyed it
• My fellow diner had the seafood curry and I'd probably try that next time since she said it was amazing but said the same about the spice
• We have also had a crispy garden salad to share which was nothing like what I've ever tried
• These were deep fried salad leaves with chicken and shrimp spicy sauce
• My experience of Siam Restaurant was nothing but ordinary
• The owners are so welcoming and passionate about their food it creates a great atmosphere
• We started with prawn crackers and sweet chilli which was a great touch as we were all starting to get very hungry
• Our starter was a platter and I enjoyed all of it
• Scallop and sun dried pork were my favourites but the chicken and prawn was good too
• Whilst the sauce was good I wasn't blown away
• Think this was partly my own fault as I had a bit of food envy
• Think when I go back I will go for something fishy as it is so fresh from Leith
• I was sceptical but it was actually really good
• I know the sauce it came with was a massive hit with everyone
• Without a doubt the best sticky toffee pudding I have ever had in my whole life
• I think it was made with a thai flour and it made it so light and just delicious
• Great night with great food and wine
• My obsession with Thai food has just become more extreme since trying Siam restaurant under the new ownership this week
• The aim of Siam is to provide authentic Thai cuisine in a tranquil setting
• It is a family run restaurant and uses local fresh ingredients with imported Thai spices and herbs
• As we entered the restaurant we were immediately welcomed and taken to our table
• Explaining that the fish was fresh from Leith and guided us on what he would recommend
• We were given Prawn crackers with a side of sweet chili sauce to tuck into whilst looking at the menu
• So the restaurant was quiet which was great
• I ordered the panang beef with rice which tasted great
• We like our Thai food and Siam is a short walk from home so it's been on our to do list for a while
• They do an excellent value early bird meal which is essentially two main meals for the price of one
• My drunken noodles were very tasty too but as with most things I order the portion was huge
• The restaurant was quiet and the service was good
• Truly authentic flavours using the best of local Scottish produce
