Independent Thai street-food specialists Zaap have announced their brand new Manchester restaurant will officially open its doors on 26th June at 12noon, and to celebrate they’re giving away 100 FREE Pad Thais or any of their delicious and authentic curries, alongside a Zaap goody bag, to the first guests to arrive at the restaurant when it opens at midday.
One of Zaap’s most popular signature dishes and an authentic Thai classic, the Pad Thai, is the perfect introduction to the brand as it opens its first Manchester restaurant. The first 100 guests will be treated to a choice of this FREE Zaap speciality – a delicious steaming plate of noodles with egg, spring onions, tofu and a peanut garnish, alongside a choice of chicken, beef, prawns or extra tofu for a vegetarian version – or any Zaap curry, meaning there is something for everyone to enjoy. The giveaway will only take place whilst stocks last – so Thai food lovers should ensure they are first in line to get their Zaap fix.
All guests who visit during the opening week will also receive a VIP scratch card with their bill to be used on their next visit, with prizes including free food and drinks. All scratch cards are winners, so nobody misses out.

Located in the heart of the city centre on Brazennose St, Lincoln Square, Zaap Manchester invites guests to immerse themselves in the bustling streets of Bangkok this summer and tuck into the authentic flavours of Thailand. Pad Thai is just one of over 80 dishes on a jampacked menu that has been devised and developed by an independent and passionate Thai team who are dedicated to bringing all the country’s diverse and vibrant dishes to the UK.
Ban Kaewkraikhot, Founder and Executive Chef at Zaap said:
“What better way to celebrate our arrival in Manchester than with free curry and Pad Thai? That’s what our menu is all about – sharing the authentic flavours of Thailand, and showcasing all that’s great about my home. From the moment guests step through our doors, we want them to feel like they’ve been transported straight from Manchester to South East Asia, and the bustling streets of Bangkok. We’ll see you on the 26th June – remember to be quick to grab your free dish!”
Zaap’s signature open kitchen design, custom-made tuk tuk seating booths and bespoke street-style graffiti provide a vibrant and casual dining experience, perfect for enjoying its extensive menu of authentic Thai cuisine. The Zaap menu is an affordable, authentic celebration of Thailand – with highlights including crispy pork belly, Pad Thai, spicy som tam salad, and huge variety of vegetarian and vegan options and a gluten free menu. There are plenty of drinks available for guests to enjoy too, such as a wide array of cocktails, wines, beer towers and even boozy bubble teas.
