Nam Jai Thai
About This Spot
Stepping into Nam Jai Thai, tucked into the charming nook of Manor Square in Otley, feels like being welcomed into a calm, inviting corner of Thailand. The space is modest yet warm, where the pace gently echoes the soft hum of casual gatherings and the occasional clink of shared plates. It’s the kind of place where attention feels both effortless and genuine—family-owned hospitality quietly infuses the atmosphere.
This restaurant invites you to savor moments as much as meals. The aroma of fragrant herbs and softly spiced curries fills the air, hinting at dishes made with care rather than convenience. Whether settling into a cozy table for a quiet meal or picking up a carefully packed takeaway, the experience feels personal and thoughtful. Flavors are fresh, layered without overwhelming, inviting you to revisit old favorites or discover new tastes — from the subtle warmth of green curry to the comforting richness of a freshly prepared crab rangoon.
Nam Jai Thai carries a sense of local rhythm, where quick service is paired with a polite attentiveness that always manages to feel relaxed rather than rushed. It’s a spot that encourages sharing—both food and conversation—making every visit a quietly joyful discovery. Many come prepared to linger, bringing their own drinks to complement the meal and soak in a moment of easy warmth among familiar faces and new flavors alike.

Fantastic takeaway and small restaurant. I'd defo recommend bringing your own wine or drink of choice. Thai prawn crackers Try the sharing platter. Namjai mix for 2 Try everything! This time I had Gai Yang (chicken thigh) yum And the wife ate pawn Gang Panang! Sticky rice and chips We left full, tipsy and happy Good value for 40ish pounds The staff are always very polite and accommodating. This restaurant is a favourite of mine and the wife. We are so happy that it has returned to normal service again and not just takeaways. We will be back again soon thank you

When I ordered with my friend I was amazed at the food, it was excellent, we bought a green Thai curry, chicken satay and the pad Thai. It is important to note that on google maps it will say that they are open, however they are closed from January to mid April.

Superb food and great service in a really authentic little gem in Otley which caters for vegans really well (including a massaman!). Booking recommended.

Beautiful and authentic Thai food clearly made with love. We ate literally everything that came our way (including the garnishes etc). It was amazing and definitely will be going back.
