Best Indian in Pattaya?

[bobtb]

There aint a decent Indian curry in Pattaya or many parts of Thailand...after wasting much money on overpriced rubbish...with the exception of a few times then the chef changes....I refuse to waste another ruppee on crap that I or my wife can cook ten times better at a fraction of the cost than these supposedly Indian restaurants can. Take my advice get the cheap train or an Air Asia flight to Penang and get a tikka masala, rice and fresh naan from a clay oven for 9 Rinngetts (85 Baht)..best in the world, great portions, cheap and worth the trip. Heard there is yet another indian opening in Bang Saray...certainly wont be bothering travelling to try that as can gaurantee it will be cooked muck.

Try country favourite , Indian by nature is far too expensive ! 75b a popadom wake up !!!!! I grew up near Bradford west yorkshire and the prices they charge at indian by nature i could eat 3 times in the Uk

Is there a menu website for country favorite please? No actual physical resto, correct?

Fisherman's, Lake Mapbrachan has a good reputation. Always busy

I went there once. OK but way overpriced (which sums up most Indian places in Pattaya). Certainly nothing special. Not busy at all on the evening I went.

Thanks for your response.

When you say there is a 20 percent discount, I'm not sure what you mean.

There is nothing on your website about that, is there?

Are you talking about the Pattaya City Expats Club discount scheme?

I suppose you are.

What percentage of expats do you imagine are actually members of ANY expat club?

I don't know but if I had to guess, I would guess under FIVE percent.

I suggest if you are serious about offering a locals discount that you be more specific about that and also post the particulars on your website.

Cheers.

Sorry about not presenting the information clearly, we shall put it up on our website and Facebook page very soon. This is because we have started this promotion only very recently. In the meantime you can be rest assured all the expats living in Pattaya are eligible for 20% discount at Golden Chimney.

 

We hope to see you soon.

Many Thanks,

Team - Golden Chimney

What is the best indian resturant in south pattaya ? ..or is that an oxymoron ?

Hard to say which is the best.

For vegetarian only, try Saras.

For buffet try the place at the Beverly Hotel, 220 baht. 

Indian Touch has decent thalis. 

For an interesting kind of Indian/American fast food fusion try CHIC PUNJABI (new place, try it!)

I used to like Punjabi Tadka for North Indian but no recent experiences. 

 

 

Saras is okay but it can be expensive and there's not much atmosphere. Feels like dining inside a hotel lobby.

 

On the way to Saras, coming from Pattaya Tai, there's a place on the right with a big diamond on the sign. I vote that place as a safe option; decent thali set. Excelleant female Indian cook but she leaves about 2230 fyi.
 

[Jingthing]

Saras is not in that hotel any longer. They have moved to the top floor of Royal Garden Plaza. I found the thali at the diamond place which is called Kohinoor underwhelming.

BTW. Chic Punjabi is closed down.

Ali Baba or Indian by Nature

For those across on the Darkside, I would recommend The Fisherman's Cafe up near the Lake. They also do a good delivery service. I send them a SMS with my order and address and they call back to confirm both. They also ask how spicy I want the food, 30 minutes later it's deliver to the house.

I've been to the restaurant quite a few times too, never had a bad meal there or from the delivery service. My family were across from Scotland for 3 weeks at Xmas/New Year, they also ate at Fisherman's and were impressed with the food.

The setting isn't bad either, especially in the evening when the sun's setting.

As with most of the restaurants around the lake though, the flies are a bloody nuisance!

Passing along news I have heard elsewhere that Golden Chimney restaurant has closed. If this info is false, please correct.

Ram on soi Khaotalo is pretty good.

Alibaba - interior at one time was "nice" ---but through the years the decor on the walls and hanging from the ceiling could use a good dust down ...and don't turn on the bright lights or you will see the soiled table clothes and cushions. Typical Indian establishment that does not understand the importance of keeping up maintenance or appearance.  The food is "hit and miss" --depends who is the cook. Unfortunately I find that when I order carry-out (such as Waiters on Wheels) the food is not as good as if you are a customer inside the restaurant. ( --as if the restaurant thinks the "tourist" won't notice with the food being delivered.)  One Sunday evening I ordered carry out and the "chicken tika masala " was nothing but sauce poured over bits of chicken; and the samosa had been sitting around for ?? 1 day and then microwaved.  Unfortunately I had already paid for the delivery before I could send it back.   I question the owner of Alibaba --seems he is just a supervisor not involved with the quality or aware of how worn out the interior of the restaurant looks--just there to boss people around and try to  "charm" the customers.

I was there over 10 years ago. Decor seemed super dated even back then.
