Madras Darbar on 2nd Road opposite Central Festival seems to have a good reputation. It has the added bonus of actually being open; so many Indian places have closed. They have a website with their menu and you can check out independant reviews in the usual places.

I'm into delivery and like many like Masala Twist near Rompho market in Jomtien. On multiple delivery apps. Similar to most as far as meat portions in curries but a particularly good value is their Tandoori chicken at 120. Indeed a smallish portion but delicious.

The Indian food place(if still there) in Big C Extra's food hall claims to be cheaper than the restaurants. From memory, something like 165 baht for a main meal. Bu don't quote me on that, since I didn't try it myself.

But so many had Thali for 150 baht. So always a cheap option on the menu.

Personally, I make my own, in so that I have more control over the process.

You won't find on this forum...

 

Hungry hippo is the cheapest, but they have few indian dishes only (and before anybody tell that they are not Indian, I have to tell that they cook exactly the same food as any of your "best" indian restaurants (which is BS because they all sell exactly the same food !)

Not sure where to put this as it's not a review, but here goes.

Looking for a cheap or good value restaurant that serve wine. Cheap Charlies does but I've eaten there enough lately and I want a change. Lots of places like Hungry Hippo only show their food menu.

Had an English breakfast at Wanna Break?, Soi Yamato (Soi 13/1 to the unwashed). 2 eggs, 1 sausage, 2 bacon, good portion of baked beans, 2 slices of wheat toast, tea or coffee. Good 'nuff, up to standard. B95.

Small place run by K. Wanna after her English hubbie died about 4 years ago, struggling to stay open in these dark days. She's a good lady, her relatives (I assume) aren't helping much w/ the service. Stop by if you can; I will again. Good place for a quick bite before hitting the go-go next door--whenever it opens again!

I will try it next time I have a full brekky; quite like the poached eggs option .. and the mushrooms. I normally go to the Swan on the same soi.

Mushrooms may be extra, none with the B95 special. Poached eggs were good.

A new Indian Restaurant to me that I found on Grab delivery and have found their food to be really tasty and for Pattaya Indian's not breaking the bank is Tarka House Restaurant, this is my go to Indian right now.

 

Well worth a try if your an Indian food lover, the only downside I have found when ordering delivery is some of their deep fried food doesn't travel well and is usually soggy by the time it arrives, though I am on the darkside and they are located in one of the sois of Beach road so it has traveled a fair bit by the time it gets to me.

Exactly the same price as anywhere else ! why people keep talking about what they have no idea ?

The mushrooms were on the big brekky on their Facebook site. That would be my option. I like to go see a movie at Major in Avenue mall and will have an English breakfast beforehand.

Watch this space. Two meals I have had of late at the HH have been sub-par. Generally I would say cheaper ingredients or some cost cutting going on. Service still good etc.

Is it not safe to say that if it is the same price as everywhere else it's not breaking the bank?

And actually their food is not so good and cheap. They are just good at marketing it seems.

I may have done them an injustice by confusing 'Fish and Chips' with  'Cod and Chips', the latter being far better. That said, some prices going up, Sunday Roast with Lamb is more than it used to be.

Have you tried Raktae pizza at Pratamnak ? they brag being the cheapest pizza in town.

Went to Retox Game on last Monday and had their daily special.

Had the chicken pie, came with homemade chips, beans and a boat of gravy.

Pies are homemade, a really good meal and outstanding value at 199B.

RGO have some good value daily specials.

Those chips look homemade. Marks out of 10?

Why insist on repeating the fallacy of them selling exactly the same food? Are you in their kitchens? Seems rather odd that salsajapan, SePl and scoupeo are using exactly the same phrase. Related?

I used to go there for their Bangladeshi food which I found decent but I didn't think much of their Indian food. I recall their Grab menu doesn't include their Bangladeshi dishes. Anyway have your tried Masala Twist also on Grab? I think it's better.

Bella Italia on 2nd Road is back open; I know they have many fans on here. I feared the worst for them when they closed a couple of months ago. I wonder what has prompted them to re-open now.

Also on 2nd Road directly opposite Best Supermarket at the junction with Klang, a Thai seafood and fruit buffet resto is due to open soon on the site of what was previously a souvenir shop. All you can eat for 299 Baht according to signage, so not cheap. Again, I question what has persuaded the owners to open such a venture at this time.

Good luck to both places.

All you can eat seafood for 299 seems pretty cheap to me.

Usually mostly squid, but there might be a few dodgy mussels available.
