Street Box (53 Raeburn Place) is a popular Thai takeaway in Stockbridge.
The small restaurant does have two small tables and a couple of window seats but since seating is limited there is no guarantee you can dine in.
Alternatively, you can take your order out to Saunders Street or Inverleith Park. Both areas have benches.
The succinct menu is overseen by The Box’s Head Chef, Jo, who has been cooking Thai food for over 20 years.
Most mains are under £10.
I’ve dined here a few times and have Street Box to thank for helping my husband finally find a Thai dish he can eat, even after five weeks in Southeast Asia!
Location & Nearby
Street Box is at 53 Raeburn Place in Stockbridge, one of Edinburgh’s most charming neighbourhoods and a short walk from the Water of Leith and the Royal Botanic Garden. The small unit has two little tables and a couple of window seats, but with seating so limited it is best treated as a takeaway. Nearby Saunders Street and Inverleith Park both have benches if you want to eat outdoors.
What to Order
The succinct menu is overseen by head chef Jo, who has years of Thai cooking behind them, so expect a tight list of well-executed street-food staples rather than a sprawling menu. It is quick, fresh and made for eating on the move – grab a box and head to the park in good weather.
Who It Suits
Perfect for Stockbridge locals, park picnickers and anyone wanting a fast Thai fix to take away. If you specifically want a sit-down meal, look to Nok’s Kitchen‘s Stockbridge branch nearby, or head into town for Ting Thai Caravan.
