I visited this restaurant with my friend, who has celiac disease, and we were both absolutely impressed! The fact that 99% of the menu can be made gluten-free is truly amazing and such a rare find for those with gluten intolerance. We ordered steak, gyoza, fish cakes, and pad Thai, and every dish was simply outstanding—flavorful, fresh, and beautifully presented. The staff were incredibly kind, attentive, and knowledgeable about gluten-free options, making us feel completely at ease. It’s not often you find a place that caters so well to dietary needs without compromising on taste, and we’re already planning our next visit. Highly recommended!

I’ve been wanting to try here for a while, and I couldn’t be more glad that we did today. We love Thai food but have struggled to find somewhere that is authentic & tasty locally since we moved to Lanarkshire - until today. The food was fresh & tasty with generous portions, and the staff were so lovely. So much so that they recommended some dessert places. My husband & I never normally shut up and barely said a word to eat other the entire time we were eating - the food was just THAT good. If you’re looking for great food, a lovely atmosphere and good chat then get this place booked asap.

After a week of highland trip having mostly Scottish food, we decided to give it a try at this place in our last night in Scotland. The place was full but they were able to accommodate us 45 min later without reservation. We were pleasantly surprised at how tasty and authentic the food was! It definitely met my Asian standard! The staffs are very friendly and welcoming! It’s such a hidden gem!

Having a gluten and lactose intolerance Thai food is my go to meal out, Pad T’aye is the best yet. The flavours were fragrant, fresh tasting. Complimentary mussels in a spicy coconut broth is amazing. Fresh fish cakes for starters with a ...

Celebrated my fiances birthday here tonight and was our favourite meal of the year so far! So intimate it felt like we were private dining, and by far the best Pad Thai I have ever had! Cant wait to return :)

I wanted to share a new experience for Pad T'aye....we done a cooking class with Liam & Holly. This was a great class getting to prepare and cook a Thai Green Curry, which tasted amazing then cooking a Padthai and getting to set the wok on fire Liam explains everything your preparing all the ingredients. Would highly recommend doing this class if you get a chance. Great small Thai restaurant with great service and food. Definitely book before going. We will 100% be back.

Not sure what I enjoyed more, the incredible food or the warm greeting and excellent service. The best Thai food I've had in ages and you can tell it's been made from scratch with care and skill. And the people running this place were so lovely. A fantastic dining experience. Can't wait to go again when I'm next in the area! Thanks
