keo Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 Looking for an Indian restaurant to take my parents and their friends to. A google search has professed that Asma restaurant is the best Indian restaurant in CM (248/55-56 Maneenoparat Rd.). I find this strange as I've never heard of it, nor seen it mentioned on here. However, I see it is on Meals on Wheels. Has anyone eaten there? How was it? My search also unveiled Rajdarbar (99/2 Loi Kroh rd.). Again, never heard of it. Anyone care to pass comment? Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keo Posted September 7, 2011 Author Share Posted September 7, 2011 Couple of pretty terrible (and recent) reviews on tripadvisor >>> here Might just play it safe and go to Hinlay's. If only they did nan bread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrclough Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 There's a small one just near the bottom of Loy Kroh road on the left just before the night bazaar. Good food and good sized portions as well. I've tried Hinlay and found it to be the blandest food I've eaten in years, nice setting though.

CMSteve Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 Another vote for the place near the bottom of Loy Kroh.(sorry, don't know the name). Very good food, small, quaint place.

keo Posted September 7, 2011 Author Share Posted September 7, 2011 Thanks, sounds like it must be Rajdarbar... http://www.rajdarbarchiangmai.com/ Asma, anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mickybigears Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 Another vote for Spicy Bollywood...can't be beaten for value for money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loaded Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 Asma is/was in Aunsuron market. I used to go regularly and liked it. However, last time I went prices had risen considerably so didn't go in. I guess the Middle East tourist market here isn't price sensitive.

scd Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 Hmm I ate at the Loi Kroh one this week and was not impressed. Three different dishes that were virtually the same. Maybe my standards are too high... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ulysses G. Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 The expensive hotel at the end of Sri Don Chai road by the river has the best Indian food in town from what I hear pretty often, but I have not gotten around to trying it. It is not cheap though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morry Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 I've been to several Indian restaurants here (including Asma) but I wouldn't rate any of them. I like a good curry, but I wouldn't bother with Indian food here based on what I've seen. If anyone has some other recommendations I'd be keen to try them.

el jefe Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 Another thread on Indian restaurants??? I thought we all agreed that there are no good ones at a reasonable price. can't we talk about hamburgers again instead? Rajdarbar is one of the few Indian restaurants in CM that I haven't tried. (I didn't like Asma when they were in the Anusarn Market and haven't gone back since they moved.) I clicked on Rajdarbar's website above and was interested when I saw they offered "dishes from North and South India" since there are no south Indian restaurants anywhere near Chiang Mai. I went to the menu to see what their South Indian specialties are. I was disappointed to see that the only true south Indian dishes they offer are their breads for breakfast and Chicken 65. I'll probably try it anyway to see if it's any better than my current favorite north Indian, Royal India. Many here don't like it but, imho, their vegetarian dishes are better than anywhere else. FYI -- Rajdarbar has fish and chips on the menu. That should be good for another 50 posts here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonwilly Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 Very Good food from Spicy Bollywood and I am a big fan of Hinley. Rajdarbar came highly recommended from a Brit couple who live in S. India. Fish & Chips, oh for an adult thread on the Food of the Gods and maybe Spotted Richard with creamy yellow Custard. john Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keo Posted September 8, 2011 Author Share Posted September 8, 2011 Went to Asma in the end. Was ok, but nothing to write home about. Personally I prefer the food and the setting at Hinlay's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yelly Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 Royal India is good, but not to go eat in. We get the delivery and just make the naan at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrclough Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 Well, after reading all this over the last few days I decided to try Le Spice last night. Another nice but nothing to shout about restaurant. Good prices though considering it's in a busy part of town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ARISTIDE Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 Royal India good food just like in India the Potato Naan is just as delicious as the expensive one in Chedi. Very nice owner although he look a bit rough. He is a passionate cook. Chedi is fine dining type so they are expensive but worth a try. Creamy lightly spiced Mughal type of fine Indian food. Will try bollywood soon but I know that they are for real. If someone pro Hinlay please spare me the BS. Le Spice is also not that good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
