Street Box (53 Raeburn Place, Edinburgh) | The List

Review analysis
food  

Predominantly takeaway/delivery, this Thai descendant of Ruan Siam focuses on rustic flavours and traditional favourites.

This tiny hole-in-the-wall in Stockbridge predominantly focuses on takeaway/delivery.

You’ll find most of the Thai standard curries and stir fries served with chicken, beef, pork or king prawn and while the sauces on occasion are a bit thin, the flavour is good.

There’s also some chargrilling to investigate, as chicken, beef or duck are served up with tangy sauces and there are a few street food-type options, especially in the starters.

Gai haw bai teauy delivers pandan leaf-wrapped parcels of honeyed chicken and just a hint of whisky, while gra beoung talay fills triangular wheat parcels with moist crab and king prawn.

Nok's Kitchen (8 Gloucester Street, Edinburgh) | The List

Review analysis
food  

Pocket-sized restaurant in Stockbridge, with a reputation as one of the best places for Thai in Edinburgh.

Nok’s Kitchen is a cute little Thai restaurant down a cobbled lane, just off the main drag in Stockbridge.

They're not reinventing the wheel here – there are the usual offerings of salads and soups, appetisers, dishes from the wok, and rice and noodle options, plus a range of curry specialities with vegetables, shin beef, chicken or prawn.

Their pad Thai with vegetable and tofu (chicken or prawn available too) is fresh and delicate, served with their special tamarind sauce.

They describe their cooking as containing a 'cloud of fresh herbs' and there's certainly plenty of holy basil packing a punch in many dishes.

After the successful opening of their first police box coffee shop in August 2014, the entrepreneurial couple behind The Counter coffee shop chain, have won their very own television advert to grow their fledgling business It’s the simplest ideas that often work the best, and Ali and Sally McFarlane saw a purpose for Edinburgh’s disused police boxes at the end of summer last year.

Opening their first coffee shop in Morningside, The Counter has since expanded to three previously-derelict police boxes scattered throughout the capital city.

Serving homemade cakes by Ali and coffee from local roasters, the life and business partners will see their business advertised on primetime television across the country.

Speaking on their success, Ali said: “The past 15 months has been a whirlwind for us but winning this competition and having our independent coffee business broadcast on primetime television really is the icing on the cake” “We have had a few people come and say they saw the advert last night.

“We have a converted canal barge opening in late spring – other than that we just want to keep serving great coffee and continue to improve what we do already.”
