Indian food in Hua Hin

Post by dtaai-maai »

Mods, forgive me for starting a new thread, but I want to talk about all Indian restaurants in the area, not just one.

Fellow forum members and Indian food gourmets, I need your help. It is, yet again, Mrs D-M's 29th birthday (I believe when she passes 40, she will allow herself to become 35), and she has a hankering for some decent Indian food.

Principal requirements to make My Beloved happy are the quality of the naan and the daal (and the vegetable samosas).

There are quite a few Indian restaurants in HH and Cha-am now:
Aree & Indian Hut (closed for the time being) in Cha-am
In HH: Smor Spa (Takiap)
S&S
Poonsuk Rd
Naresdamri Rd (The Taj Mahal or some equally unoriginal name)
The Ayurvedic Clinic restaurant.

Did I leave any off?

Ladies & Gentlemen, I appeal to you - please help me satisfy my wife.
Where should I take her, bearing in mind the "naan and the daal (and the vegetable samosas)".
This is the way

There are some folk around here who might get the wrong ideas............ :wink:

I think you can cross the Ayurvedic Restaurant off your list. The food is good and the Naan bread is excellent but unfortunately their drinks menu is a little basic. When we went we were offered Chang beer and out came two warm cans of Chang; when other friends went they had neither beer or wine. The restaurant itself is always empty; I would say it is an excellent place for a take away but most certainly not for a special evening. Also as mentioned before the menu is a bit limited but they say they will cook anything you ask for"

For a special birthday treat, it has to be Smor Spa - fantastic setting and atmosphere on the beach, unobtrusive live music and great food.

The next buffet night just happens to be tomorrow - I'm sure if you contact Sam there, he'll make sure that all the required components are present.

Thanks for the suggestions - Smor Spa it is then! I've spoken to Sam and he assures me Mrs D-M's every whim will be met... :laugh:


On a more general note, I haven't eaten at the other places for a while. Any recent feed :mrgreen: back?

When we were in HH the last time, we went to the Indian down the road that leads to the piers. I would not go there again, food pretty average, bill very high. Also not very friendly IMO :?

Kao Takiap - but I couldn't give directions. I think it's marked on the city map linked below.

EDIT: There's also a thread here viewtopic.php?f=16&t=22000 that will probably include directions

Look for the surf board stood up outside - going by beach or by road entrance :cheers:

From Hua Hin take the road into Kao Takiab, keep going into the village and it's on the left not far past the first 7/11 you come to on the left.

I am trying Samor Spa too, for the first time tonight, so hope it is as good as reported.

But the best value and very tasty Indian has to be S&S, a couple of roads before Market Village.

Very popular with the farang community, and every visit you see people who have been there before, so this must be a good sign. I go most weeks and have never been disappointed with anything.

A typical meal for two with a beer and soft drink will be around 400 bht, and the menu has all the usual items you see on a UK Indian menu.

Don't get dressed up to go, it is more like a local cafe !! But the food is great.

It will be interesting to see how they compare (in your opinion) - I assume you will post a report? :cheers:
