lorddaverichards Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Off into Bangkok tomorrow and fancy a curry so looking for advice on where to go near BTS Nana - looking for a place that is 1. good food and not expensive - not looking for a posh place just a simple place with simple menu and good review. Not even sure how much curries are in Bangkok so any reviews on this would help Many thanks Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamBangkok Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 (edited) Plenty of choice around there - 2 vegetarian places - Dosa King on soi 11, Khana Khazana on the corner of Soi 11/1. Non- veggie - 20m into Soi 11/1 on the right is Mrs Balbirs, or across the road on the corner of Soi 8 is India Today. They're all pretty good and within a minute or 2's walk from the BTS Edited November 29, 2012 by AdamBangkok 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokie36 Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 Mrs Balbirs is probably the best of those. The one upstairs on the corner of Soi 8 is supposedly good as well although I have not tried it....due to the cheap lunch deal at Via Vai nearby. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamBangkok Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 The one upstairs on the corner of 8 is India Today - it's ok but the food is quite Anglicised. Mrs B's is the best of the 4 for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rixalex Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 I tried Mrs Balbirs when i was at Platinum the other day and although i appreciate it isn't her main restaurant, just a small stall, i thought it was pretty bad. Had a butter chicken and a masala and both of them were more like soups than curries. Very watery. Has put me off trying her main restaurant.

I've tried Mrs Balbirs in Robinsons Sukhumvit food court and that was bad as well. Seems that once they franchise out these places the quality control goes through the floor - same experience with the Sunrise Taco's at Emporium / Paragon. The food at Mrs B's on 11/1 is WAY better.

Thanks for telling me. Perhaps i will give her main restaurant a go then. It does make you wonder though doesn't it. I assumed that the food at all of her outlets would be to the same quality. Seriously bad business practice to allow someone to sell crap food under your name. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiG16 Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 but Mrs B aint exactly cheap Dosa King is slightly lower price, but their north indian food aint that great. the south indian would be a better choice India Today - similar price to Mrs B. there is another indian in soi 8 that I havent tried but been told its ok the Cross Bar also does some limited indian choices. I was very skeptical about ordering food in a pub, but have to say it was rather good. ok this is closer to BTS asoke rather than Nana Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
