Chiang Mai Kitchen was set up in 1993 with the aim of providing delicious, authentic Thai food in a beautiful and unique historical setting. Tucked down a little alleyway, known as Kemp Hall passage, the 3 storey timber framed building dates from the 1630s and possibly earlier. Built originally as a private dwelling for Alderman Boswell it was also the Oxford police station for about 100 years before becoming a popular restaurant in the early 1900s. Much of the original oak panelling still remains along with a beautiful carved oak staircase.

The restaurant is divided into 3 separate rooms catering for either a romantic evening out or a party for up to 33 people.

Herbs and spices are flown in weekly from Bangkok and all food is cooked to order. If you wish to book a table please call 01865 202233. If you already have a group booking you can use our online menu selection to pre select your dishes.

We look forward to seeing you soon.
