Why go, and how to do it well
Tucked along the lively Walking Street of Koh Lipe, Royal Indian Restaurant brings the bold, aromatic flavors of Indian cuisine to this remote Thai island paradise. With a consistently high rating drawn from dozens of visitor reviews, it has established itself as one of the standout dining options on the island, particularly for travelers craving something beyond the usual Thai and Western fare available in the area.
Guests can expect a mid-range dining experience with a menu rooted in classic Indian cooking — think rich curries, fragrant rice dishes, and freshly prepared breads. The restaurant caters well to diverse dietary needs, as Indian cuisine naturally lends itself to generous vegetarian and vegan options. The relaxed island setting, combined with the warmth of the food, makes it a comfortable choice for both a casual lunch and a leisurely evening meal.
Open every day of the week from 09:00 to 22:30, Royal Indian is accessible throughout the day, making it equally suitable for a late breakfast, a midday curry, or a relaxed dinner. Given the limited dining options on a small island like Koh Lipe, it is worth arriving a little early during peak evening hours, particularly in high season between November and April, when the island sees its highest visitor numbers and popular spots can fill up quickly.

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.
