FarangBuddha Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 (edited) Ali Babba is a good standby...been open for years and I always see lots of local Thai-Indians eating there when I'm there. On Central Road opposite Tops Market (between Beach and Second roads). Edited October 29, 2011 by FarangBuddha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogtim Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 Taste of India good but expensive, Curry Hut good and cheap. Both in Jomtien. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RabC Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 If you are after Northern Indian,Pakistani, Bangladeshi (UK) style curries I wish you all the best, I have lived here 10 years and am yet to find a good one. The Yanks have the same problem trying to find a good Mexican apparently. There's loads of Indian places but all the cooking is done by Indians, where as I am used to Bangladeshi or Pakistani chefs.

Hikage Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 Madras Darbar opposite Centun on Second Rd is where I go for my curries. Definitely superior to Ali Babba where I have also been. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

koiwaolao Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 I also like Indian food but so far my experiences in Pattaya have not been great. The "thoroughbred" Indian places tend to have small portions at big prices and Western style restaurants try their hand at so called International ( British Colonial type) of curry not very successfully so far, IMHO. Driving down Soi Nern today I noticed in passing what seems to be a bit like a hole in the wall with a sign: Curry Station - Indian Food! Anyone knows/has tried the place?

Go to Jomtien 2nd road and immigration Soi 5. There is a Thai market there, south side. Next to it is a beer bar complex. It's in the beer bar complex.

If it's the place near the muslim school about a kilometre up from suk, its called My Home. I think their food is pretty good and cheap but I'm no Indian food expert. The chicken tikka masala and saffron rice is a particular favorite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You do realise we're talking about Indian food as in curries from the Indian sub-continent? Not Indian food as in buffalo from the North American continent?

I haven't tried it yet. So it was that bad, eh? It is just my opinion (but I have actually lived in India before). The place was clean, located in an area surrounded by bar after bar after bar. I ordered palak paneer and butter nan. The palak paneer was OK but too hot for me. The nan was something I had never seen before in India. It was not real nan. My guess is that the place does not have the proper cooking device for nan or paratha. Maybe you will have a different experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jingthing Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 (edited) If they don't do proper nan, it seems doubtful they could do proper tandoori items either. Of course your complaint of "too hot" is a draw for me! Edited October 31, 2011 by Jingthing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ericg1953 Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 My friends and I were eating at Punjabi Tadka on 2nd Rd. near the entrance to walking st and across from the Camelot Hotel.

It's called Nawab and has Indian, Thai and Russian food. This place (in my opinion) has gone down hill. It is no where near how it used to be, maybe because all the Nepalese lads have gone to local taylor shops. The best place now (in my opinion) is Indian by Nature opposite PanPan Jomtien and a close second Mantra at the start of the beach road. You will need a bank loan for both but top notch really. Hmmm.

I think you mean ZAIKA. Yes, it looks like it would be good. Price are rather high though. Haven't tried as yet. They employ an aggressive hawker to snare you in and that turns me off.

saintofsilence Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 It may be a bit high about 350 to 400 baht curry naan and water , I have had no problems and found the service good. Also they can make it very spicy . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PattayaParent Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 If they don't do proper nan, it seems doubtful they could do proper tandoori items either. Of course your complaint of "too hot" is a draw for me! They seem to have their breads mixed up from what I am used to. I like Roti but when I order that I get what I consider to be Nan and when I order Nan I get Roti. If you order the food spicy it is 'too hot' with chillies rather than spices. The normal curries could do with being more hot though. There's still Nepalese waiters, and a waitress there, just not the ones that were there before. After spending a lot of time living and working with Indians I've found nowhere outside of India or the Middle East to get real Indian food unfortunately. A bit like JT's search for the Holy Grail of Mexican in Pattaya! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is that the place does not have the proper cooking device for nan or paratha. As far as I know there is no special device for cooking any Indian bread. Just an oven/grill or frying pan/griddle, depending on which one you are doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it is a special oven that is often set in the ground in India. The chicken is cooked in the center where it is most hot and bread is "stuck" to its sides (where it is less hot) to cook. Indian women are masters at cooking this way. My favorite bread is paratha. In India is is light, flaky (many layers), and just sightly chewy. It is often filled with some vegetable, but it is great plain. I have never seen the real thing outside of India. The breads in India must be the best anywhere, so when I go to an "Indian restaurant" and they can't make bread, I decide rapidly not to go back.
