Amritsr Old Town
Tucked along Soi Rommanee in the heart of Phuket Old Town, this Indian restaurant has built a strong following among both tourists and locals for its authentic Punjabi cuisine and welcoming hospitality. The menu draws particular praise for dishes like aloo paratha, veg and non-veg thalis, paneer tikka wraps, kulchas, and samosas, alongside standout drinks such as Punjabi lassi and mango lassi. The relaxed Old Town setting adds to the appeal, placing it within easy reach of Phuket's heritage shophouses and nearby attractions. Diners can expect generous portions and attentive service, with staff noted for offering honest guidance on ordering — a detail that has left a strong impression on many visitors. The kitchen caters well to both vegetarians and meat-eaters, and the wraps and parcelled items make it a practical option for those heading out on boat tours or day trips. Some reviewers note that certain dishes can vary in seasoning, so it is worth communicating preferences when ordering. Good to know: The restaurant is open every day from 9am to midnight, giving visitors flexibility across breakfast, lunch, dinner, and late-night sittings. The venue can get busy around 8pm, so arriving slightly earlier in the evening or during the mid-afternoon lull is a practical way to avoid a wait. The website at amritsr.com may carry additional menu information ahead of a visit.

Visitor Reviews
Excellent service by Maung Zinoo and one of the best aloo parothas and Punjabi lassi we have had… We ordered 2 lassis but were advised that 1 would be enough for 2, and he was correct. Asked for slightly salted lassi and he brought us a small sample each to taste and see if it was salty enough…. Did not expect that!!! We came early at 11am and were served really quickly as there were only 2 other customers . Enjoyed the Punjabi music too… Will definitely revisit 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
The food here is absolutely delicious. We had food on multiple occasions and loved below 1. Veg Thali 2. Non veg Thali 3. Paneer Tikka wrap (Parcel for boat tours) 4. Samosa 5. Kulchas ❤️ Delivery from Grab is super quick as well roughly 45 mins We did not like the Wada Paw and Chicken Biryani although they were very good quality
Having traveled to many countries, I can honestly say the Indian food and overall vibe at this restaurant are unmatched. The quality is excellent, the prices are pocket-friendly, and the hospitality is warm and humble. It’s definitely one of the main reasons I would visit Phuket again.

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.
