Why go, and how to do it well
A Phuket institution that has earned a place on the Michelin Bib Gourmand list for seven consecutive years, this modest breakfast spot on Thep Krasattri Road draws a loyal crowd of locals and visitors alike for its freshly made roti at remarkably wallet-friendly prices. The signature dish — egg roti paired with chicken massaman curry — is prepared in full view of diners, with vendors working the dough right in front of the line.
The setting is small, informal, and no-frills, with simple seating and an open kitchen atmosphere that lends itself to the charcoal warmth of a working street food stall. The menu covers both sweet and savory roti variations, with the double egg roti priced at around 40 baht making it one of the more affordable Michelin-recognized dishes anywhere in the region. Menus are available in both Thai and English, and service moves quickly despite the crowds.

There is no doubt why this place has been on Michelin Bib Gourmand list for 7 consecutive years. The food is absolutely amazing. The service is quick and the menu is in Thai and English. No problem if your don’t speak Thai. I ordered beef curry, two plain roti and chicken sausage with lemon Thai tea. The beef was tender and seasoned just enough to have a little bite but not overpowering. The roti was perfect complement to the curry. The chicken sausage was good. But those three things were just a bit too much for one person. The food is Halal
This was the best food I had while in Phuket!! The roti was perfectly cooked and it had just enough crispness to make it superb. The chicken was so tasty and a perfect complement to the roti. By far the show stealer was the banana roti. So freaking delicious!!! I would highly recommend visiting while in old town.
We enjoyed it, came for breakfast. Chicken massaman curry with egg roti is the best combo. But a little bit hot inside and charcoal smell. But it is a perfect for a local breakfast, many locals even om a sunday.

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.
