Best currie in town

[lomuamart]

That's a shame. I've only ever had one takeaway from there and it was pretty good. That was in August this year.
Suppose I'll stick to cooking my own.

Edit: Incidently, when I was sitting there waiting for my food, I was chatting to the staff and most were Burmese at that time. Certainly the cook was. So, I suppose, not Indian at all.

Was truly legendary at its best, and shall be sadly missed. I'm still in mourning

Amazing with all these Indian folk in town why no-one can open a proper curry house.

They need to be sent to England to be taught properly!

Of course, almost all curry house in the UK are run by the good folks from Bangla-Desh, irrespective of the name above the shop!

Confused? You will be.

Reading through this thread makes me all the more eager to go to KL shortly for my visa. Can't wait for the grub.

I have posted in other threads about Curries before, but I had one of the best Indian curries that I have ever had (in UK, Australia, Malaysia) at the Maharaja which is located at the end of the road where the Hilton is and then turn left. Is up on the RH side (not far from the turn).

It is a bit more expensive than some people might like to pay. But at the time I was about 3 weeks into my holiday and just fancied something different than Thai.

From the starters to the end of the meal, everything was 1st class and as I said, the food was some of the best that I have ever had. The staff looked after us well and the place was well very full, with a good mixture of different nationalities eating in there.

Cannot remember what the bill was, but was a bit more than eating local Thai, but was well worth what I paid for it.

Chelsea, fully agree with everything you’ve said apart from the bit about being expensive. When you take in the surroundings; air-con, chandeliers, spotlessly clean, proper cutlery, very attentive staff, proper drinks i.e. not cheap local brands poured into brand named bottles, meals all arriving at the same time and no mix ups, surely this is worth more than the local Thai places with plastic chairs, no air-con, non-matching cutlery, staff half asleep, food arriving at different times or not at all etc etc I know where I’d rather spend a few extra baht I personally don’t mind paying a little bit more for ambiance.

Can't say the Maharaja impressed me when I tried it a few times. Whatever you order, you just get generic Indian curry #47 which tastes bland and flavourless. Not one to recommend.

Bill, Personally I did not think it expensive (that was just general comment for others) as other times I had posted, most replies (both local and overseas) comments were that they thought it was. That was my only reason for that comment.

I think that if you go somewhere and enjoy it like we did, that the cost is really irrelevant (within reason), if the dining experience is as unexpected as it was there.
If anyone had bet me $100 that I would have one of the best Indian meals I have ever had in Thailand, I would have took the bet.

My two best meals I had in Hua Hin have been at the opposite end of the scale when it comes to surroundings, but the common denominator from both places was the service and quality of the food.

At the other end of the scale in surroundings was Bam Bam's in Poolsuk Rd (opposite the Swedish bar).
Not the most flash surroundings but much the same level of quality of food and the lady that runs the place is brilliant.

Also on my list of must go places would be the Monsoon Bar, Chinese Place on the 17th Floor at the Hilton and the Lets Sea Bar.

That said the food at on both of the beach bars in front of the Hilton and past the Sofitel is as good as you will get for beach food places.

Well I've just had a shock

Normally I use Lins for a good brekkie or a good roast dinner but today I tried their chicken vindaloo. Good portion (enough for 2) with jasmine rice or chips and bread and butter or a naan (naan not too good).

Probably not the best in town but bloody good for 120Bht

No condiments so I took my own lime pickle to heat it up a bit

Together with two pots of teas I paid 150Bht and took my remains home for a meal tomorrow or the day after. After all a good curry takes a couple of days to mature

Definitely S&S Indian who have now moved to Soi 94.. the food was good before but it's even better now. They do a really good Madras and their Garlic Naan is delicious. Prices are reasonable and they have just started to do a very tasty onion Bhaji.. only drawback the loos are down the road.. but hey the Indian only really takes effect the next day
Oh and nice and clean .. the restaurant that is!!

[richard]

How far down 94?

[TypicallyTropical]

Probably not the best in town but bloody good for 120Bht

Makes me jelous, I just paid $4.00 for two Naan breads here!

[pinky]

Hi Richard, its about half way down the bank of shops.. a big double fronted unit. Think it only opens in the evening (from about 5pm i think) and in the day there are big shutters down so thats probably why you havent noticed it. You can sit in air-con or outside..
AND garlic naan is only 35B, plain naan 30B and a madras about 85B..

[hhfarang]

^ Yes, S & S has the best and most authentic Indian food in town imho (and at very low prices!).

[buksida]

Do they do delivery, and if so what is the number?
