Ek’s Kitchen Didsbury

All halal, excellent, family run business, food tastes super authentic.
The owner was so sweet and personally came to the table to check if everything was okay.
Will definitely be back more for great Thai food!

Ps. We had the satay chicken, the dumplings, tom kha soup, and the cashew prawn rice dish. Every single thing was finger licking. So glad to have found this gem!!!!

Cute vibes inside too!

The most delicious soft beef in rich broth with a generous serving of noodles and lovely accompanying garnishes. We also got the crispy chicken with red curry sauce and perfectly cooked rice - very tasty and went very well with each other. Also the service is just impeccable and it was so welcoming. Will definitely be returning to see Molly and Ek - with a bottle of wine too (it is BOYB!).

We moved into the area at the start of the year and stumbled across this amazing family-run restaurant, what a find! From the very first visit, the owners welcomed us with such genuine warmth that we instantly felt at home. Over the months, we’ve built a lovely relationship with them, which has made settling into a new area feel so much easier.
We now go every 2–3 weeks because the food is consistently incredible. No matter how busy they are, every dish is cooked with such care and authentic flavour that it truly stands out. The atmosphere is always friendly, the service heartfelt, and the quality never wavers.
If you’re looking for authentic Thai food made with passion and served by people who truly care, we couldn’t recommend this place more. An absolute gem!

10/10 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️EK’s Thai Kitchen is hands down the best Thai restaurant in town.

Starters🥗
The fish cakes and chicken satay were excellent. Both tasted fresh, and the chicken was tender. The satay sauce was especially flavorful. The raw prawn was also impressively fresh and very appetizing

Mains🍜
We tried the prawn pad thai, chicken pad see ew, and beef guay tiew khua—all were outstanding. The chef mentioned using only fresh ingredients, including fresh noodles instead of dried ones, which made a big difference in the taste and texture.

The Thai-style fish is another standout. The broth it’s served in is incredibly appetizing, and it’s worth noting there’s no MSG at all. Just remember, the fish needs to be pre-ordered

Highly recommend this place—you can really feel Ek’s passion for cooking in every dish.

The food was very good and each dish was packed with flavour. The fried chicken was particularly good as it had a crunchy flavoursome coating whilst the inside was moist, but all the dishes we ordered were equally good. The restaurant is family run and we had the pleasure of speaking with EK after our meal to learn more about his cooking skills and how dedicated he is to making sure each dish tastes delicious. This will definitely be a regular for us!
