ZAIKA KRABI THAI & INDIAN SEAFOOD, RESTAURANT
Positioned near the boat ferry ticket point at the far left end of Ao Nang Beach, this mid-range restaurant brings together Thai and Indian cooking under one roof, with seafood as its throughline. The dual-cuisine format makes it a practical choice for groups or couples with different tastes, covering everything from tom yum and sweet-and-sour fish to Indian preparations such as Kadai Vegetable. The fried fish in sweet-and-sour sauce draws particular praise from repeat visitors, and the kitchen handles spice level requests reliably. The atmosphere is casual and unfussy, in keeping with Ao Nang's laid-back beach town character. Cleanliness is a point of consistent pride, and the happy hour offering of 100-baht highballs makes it an easy choice for those combining a meal with a drink. Some visitors return multiple times within a single trip, which says something about the consistency on offer. It is worth noting that not all experiences have been uniformly positive, with a small number of visitors reporting issues with service, so expectations are best kept measured rather than absolute. The restaurant opens daily from 11:00 to 23:00, covering lunch through to late dinner with no weekly closures. No booking information is publicly available, so arriving during off-peak hours such as early lunch or mid-afternoon is a sensible approach during the busy season. Casual beachside attire is entirely appropriate.

Visitor Reviews
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.
My husband and I went here for lunch. We were greeted right away and had beers within a few seconds. Waiter was helpful and helped me pick a dish out to help fit my diet. I had the Kadai Vegetable and onion naan. It was GOOD. the perfect amount of spice and very flavorful. My husband had the pizza- we are from America, pizza was just fine I think the way to go is Thai of Indian food. The pizza did scratch the itch. I would for sure eat here again!
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.

Tips for Visiting Restaurants & Food
Learn the Spice Scale
Say 'mai pet' for no spice, 'pet nit noi' for a little spice, or 'pet mak' if you want it Thai-hot. Most cooks will default to a toned-down version for foreigners unless you specify otherwise.
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.
