ZAIKA KRABI THAI & INDIAN SEAFOOD, RESTAURANT

This cozy Thai-Indian restaurant is conveniently located near the boat ferry ticket point at the far left end of Ao Nang Beach. The ambiance is simple, and the food ranges from average to good. While the butter chicken was a bit bland for my taste, the garlic naan stood out as excellent. The chicken biryani, though mild in spice, was well-prepared to suit a western palate. The chef recommends several popular dishes, including chicken biryani, chicken tikka masala, butter chicken, garlic naan, and cheese naan. Pilau rice and jeera rice are also crowd favorites. For dessert, the mixed fruit with ice cream is worth trying. The Thai menu offers classics such as pad Thai, fried rice, and vegetable spring rolls. They also provide set menus: a vegetarian option for 270 baht and a non-vegetarian one for 360 baht. The staff are friendly and engaging, creating a welcoming atmosphere. For those who enjoy a drink, there’s a full bar with a happy hour running from 11 AM to 9 PM, offering cocktails and a good selection of wines. The restaurant is open daily from 11 AM to 11 PM, with prices falling in the mid-range category. If you’re in Ao Nang and looking for a mix of Indian and Thai flavors, this spot is a decent option to check out.

We were here 3 times and the food was excellent, tasty and for a great price. Happy hour with 100 baht highballs were the icing on the cake. That and how clean their restaurant was. We highly recommend the place for your eats and drinks.

Unfortunately this was the only Indian Restaurant in Thailand where my experience was really bad. From the quality of the food to the way we were served and treated, and the attitude of the manager, everything rubbed me the wrong way. We ordered a shrimp Pad Thai and a veg one, and aloo gobhi and roti. The gobhi was frankly bad, smelled like fish and very oily. The Pad Thai noodles were actually good, but were prepared both together and just added prawns later to one plate. and they had veg pad Thai on the menu but charged us for Chicken Pad Thai, because we came after 9 (that’s the only reason given) and when we complained about it they said that the lack of chicken was compensated by adding tofu, which were there in prawn pad Thai as well. Overall their attitude and the taste of the gobhi were really bad.
