After many people had recommended this Indian restaurant on Suriwong opposite the Manhora Hotel I decided to give it a try.
Conclusion. It wasn't really worth the effort of finding it.
It would appear that I am in the minority as when we entered the place was full to the rafters mainly with Indians. so i dont think that they wil be worrying about not having my custom.
Restaurant looks nice- with an upmarket feel lots of white including tablecloths whcih is not so good for me with my table maners.
Menu aside from its Jain specialities didn't look too different from any north indian restaurant.
Dining with a Thai who had never before eaten Indian I was not too adventurous in my selections
Padi chaat and samosa to start.
Samosa were poor - too much dry pastry, although my guest enjoyed them. and the chaat was quite disappointing- far too much yoghurt for my liking almost souplike with potato pieces whcih were far to big.
For the main course we had safrron rice - very nice. Why can i not get rice like this in a Thai restaurant where I almost always neeed a knife to cut it. Here each grain was independent of the other and he rice felt quite light.
The Murgh Aloo tasted fine but could have been spicier but the sauce was very thick.
We both enjoyed the Bhindi Masala but for me it was simply because it had been sometime since i had last eaten it.
The potato stuffed paratha was very good. Actually they stuff parathas with manyb things at this restaurant- nice.
Service was fine and friendly.
No alcohol the bill was 800+ baht.
Oh and before I forget the portions were large- too large if eating alone but they will give you a doggy bag if asked.
Still looking for that great Indian restuarant at a resonable price
