Local tips
- Aim for an early evening table around opening time (17:00–18:00) to enjoy a calmer atmosphere before takeaway and delivery orders pick up.
- If you prefer milder flavors, mention it when ordering; many curries and stir-fries can be adjusted for spice level without losing character.
- Vegetarian or vegan diners can ask for tofu or extra vegetables instead of meat in most dishes, making the menu highly adaptable for mixed groups.
- Consider combining a sit-down meal with takeaway for the next day—rice and noodle dishes reheat well and make an easy lunch while sightseeing.
- For small celebrations, contact the restaurant in advance about sharing-style menus or catering trays of starters, noodles and curries.

Thai warmth in the heart of old Roskilde
Nua Mama’s Secret sits just off Roskilde’s main streets on Bredgade, a compact, welcoming Thai restaurant that feels immediately homely. Step inside and you move from cobbled Danish pavements into a softly lit room where the air is scented with kaffir lime, galangal and sizzling garlic. Tables are close enough to feel convivial but not crowded, making it a natural pick for relaxed dinners after a day exploring the cathedral and Viking heritage nearby. The space is simple and unpretentious, with practical furnishings, splashes of warm color and small decorative touches that nod to Thailand without turning the room into a themed set. It feels like a neighborhood place first and foremost: somewhere people come to eat well, talk loudly and linger over one more shared plate.From Bangkok street food to comforting curries
The menu focuses on recognizable Thai favorites built on fresh ingredients and a balance of sweet, sour, salty and spicy. Expect classics such as Pad Thai, Penang curry, green curry, Massaman and Tom Yum, alongside rice and noodle stir-fries that can be customized with different proteins. Many starters are homemade, including spring rolls, marinated skewers and other small bites designed for sharing. Heat levels can be adjusted on request, so you can lean into the chili or keep things on the milder side. Sauces are rich but not heavy, and there is an emphasis on herbs and vegetables that keeps plates colorful and aromatic. Portions are generous enough to satisfy hungry travelers yet still leave room to sample a dessert or a second main for the table.Thoughtful options for vegetarians and vegans
Nua Mama’s Secret is particularly accommodating if you avoid meat or dairy. Many dishes can be prepared vegetarian or vegan, often by swapping in tofu or extra vegetables and leaving out fish sauce where possible. This flexibility means mixed groups rarely need to compromise, and plant-based diners can still enjoy coconut curries, stir-fries and soups with full-flavored broths. Gluten-free needs can often be catered for as well, with staff able to advise on sauces and noodle types that suit different requirements. The overall impression is of a kitchen that understands modern dietary preferences while staying rooted in traditional Thai techniques.Evening-only dining with a local feel
The restaurant opens in the evenings, typically from around 17:00 to 21:00, which naturally frames it as a dinner spot rather than an all-day hangout. This rhythm suits Roskilde’s pace: visitors can spend the day at museums and fjord viewpoints, then drift into Bredgade for an unhurried meal. Service is informal and friendly, reflecting a small team that divides its energy between the dining room and the busy takeaway counter. Many orders head out the door in takeaway bags or via local delivery services, yet the dining room maintains an intimate, almost family-style atmosphere. It is the sort of place where you quickly feel like a regular, even on a first visit.Takeaway, delivery and easygoing celebrations
Beyond its sit-down meals, Nua Mama’s Secret plays a role in local gatherings through takeaway, delivery and catering. Large trays of noodles, curries and appetizers can be arranged for parties or meetings, bringing a Thai twist to everything from casual get-togethers to more formal receptions. For travelers staying nearby, it is an appealing option for a quiet night in with comforting food after a busy itinerary. Those who dine in can enjoy a simple drink list focused on beer, wine and soft drinks, keeping the spotlight firmly on the food. Overall, it is a modest, warm restaurant where the charm lies not in elaborate décor but in the honest, well-executed dishes emerging from the kitchen.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
