Erawan Thai Restaurant

Erawan Thai opened on East Bridge Street in 2016, established by two siblings and a spouse who wanted to bring genuine Thai cooking to Falkirk rather than a Westernised approximation. It has since climbed to second place across all Falkirk restaurants on TripAdvisor, with 341 reviews pointing consistently to the quality of the food. The pad thai draws particular praise — multiple reviewers call it the best they have eaten — alongside a tom kha that uses fresh galangal and kaffir lime correctly, and a crispy duck in tamarind sauce that keeps regulars returning. The sea bass and a well-constructed range of starters also feature in recommendations. The kitchen accommodates dietary requirements carefully, with vegan and non-vegan preparations kept separate. For authentic Thai cooking in central Scotland, Erawan is a rare find.
