Can anyone recommend some good Indian restaurants in the Nana area?

Bawarchi, Sukhumvit Soi 11 - very good. 10 Minute walk from Soi 4.

There was a great one as you enter Soi 8 on the keft hand side about 100m in.

Mrs Balbir's is very nice, Indian Hut just OK.

If you also like middle-eastern, Soi Africa/Arab, Sherazade is excellent, just opposite the alleyway over to Soi 5.

I think management is Egyptian, but they have many styles of middle eastern and indian food, very reasonable prices, the naan fresh-baked in the charcoal pit with a selection of dips is a great midnight snack maybe ten bucks all up.

You're often the only farang in there though so if that makes you feel uncomfortable. . .

The sole (that I am aware of) Indian restaurant in Hat Yai is TERRIBLE! I not only don't recommend it, I recommend you don't go there. Food was terrible. All of it.

Mrs Balbirs is top notch. The owner has her own cooking show in India and is just an extremely kind person if you get the chance to meet her. Enter soi 11 and immediately walk down the first dingy little soi on the right, it will take you there.

I used to go to Balbirs all the time until I came across Bawarchi, now I only go to Bawarchi.

Why is egyptian/african/arab all grouped into one?

That's how the place works - you left out the Indian menu BTW.

I guess they want to cater to the full range of foreigners that frequent that area.

I just suggested it because it's my favorite restaurant there and happens to have Indian food at a much lower price than the actual Indian restaurants.

And "khaek" covers it all in Thai (only blacks separate) maybe that's a factor.

Anyway great food, their Thai muslim staff's very attentive and some of them are pretty young & cute, eye candy in a hibab.

Dosa King on Soi 11....but just for the excellent dosas...curries are average IMHO.

I also would highly recommend Mrs Balbir. They have a very nice menu there and the food is excellent.

Has anyone tried New Bukhara's yet on Soi 7? BK Magazine says it's good.

no idea but be aware, no media in Thailand gives objective reviews, all "sponsored"

If they are able to cook food from so many cultures is their cooking going to be up to standard or does it mean that arab,africans,indians have similar tasting food?

Africa is such a huge place. It's such a pity people just call it africa like it's uniform.

It's OK - similar to what you would get in the UK, if I recall correctly.

And very convenient for the Skytrain

I said nothing about African food - assuming you wouldn't call Egyptian dishes that.

I said middle-eastern, including not only Arab but also Indian.

I imagine more from the Muslim cultures of the subcontinent.

All I'm saying is I like it and it's not expensive, so if you want to know more why not just check it out next time you're around Soi Africa?

lucky the OP was asking about indian restaurants in the nana area then...
