About Restaurant Royal Thai

Tucked into the heart of Arbroath at 31-33 West Port, Restaurant Royal Thai is one of those places you quickly start recommending to friends the moment you’ve eaten there. Walking in, you get the feeling that this is a restaurant built around proper Thai flavours rather than shortcuts, and that impression carries straight through to the food and service. The curries are clearly a highlight: the red Thai curry is rich and aromatic with a deep, warming spice, while the green curry has that bright, fragrant kick that fans of Thai cooking look for, striking a lovely balance between heat and creaminess. Duck dishes are another standout, tender and full of flavour, and the kitchen doesn’t shy away from generous seasoning, which gives everything an authentic edge. If you’re unsure what to choose, the mixed starter platter is a smart way to begin, letting you sample several different items and get a feel for the menu in one go. Classic favourites like Pad Thai are handled well too, delivering that familiar combination of sweet, savoury and tangy notes, even if some diners might wish for a little more seafood in the mix. Beyond the plates themselves, the overall experience is lifted by attentive, friendly service that makes the place feel welcoming whether it’s your first visit or you’re already a regular. It’s the sort of restaurant where a casual takeaway order can turn into a plan to dine in next time because you want to enjoy the atmosphere properly. For anyone in or around Arbroath looking for consistently tasty Thai food, from beautifully spiced curries to comforting noodle dishes, Restaurant Royal Thai offers a dependable and genuinely enjoyable option right on West Port.
