Amazing Indian restaurant! I asked for my dish not spicy at all (because spicy food doesn’t agree with me), and they were incredibly kind and attentive to my request. They made me a Butter Paneer that was honestly one of the best I’ve ever had- rich, creamy, and perfectly balanced in flavor. It was absolutely delicious. The food was excellent, the atmosphere was lovely, and everyone here is super friendly and welcoming. I’m very happy with my experience and highly recommend this place! 🍛✨
Best Indian food in Bangkok and it’s not even close! Super authentic! The staff are very friendly and the quality is amazing! I got the chicken tikki masala , garlic naan , and rice and was very happy with it. Here’s a pic. Will be back!!
We eat boneless chicken biryani & it was an absolute delight. Butter chicken and garlic/butter naan 🫓 was very very tasty. The service was also good. And it was the best experience ever.

Tips for Visiting Restaurants & Food
Follow the Crowds
The busiest street stalls are almost always the best — high turnover means fresh ingredients and a recipe that locals vouch for. An empty restaurant at dinner time is a red flag.
Ice Is Safe
Factory-made tube or cylinder ice (used in virtually all restaurants and stalls) is made from purified water and is safe to consume. You don't need to skip the iced Thai tea.
Use Grab for Delivery
The Grab app works for food delivery across Thailand, letting you order from street stalls and restaurants alike. It's invaluable on rainy days or when you want to eat in your hotel.
