GoogleIf I could give this place a warm hug, I would! And that's exactly how it felt to be there, like a warm hug. It's not just another Indian restaurant in Bangkok, it's place with rich history and a story of a well respected and well known cook who served who's who across various countries. The interiors are classy, the dim lit warm lights add to the ambience. Menu is rich with different options and food tastes good. Tandoori roti could be slightly better instead of being overcooked but I can live with that when pricing is value for money. When away from home, and looking for home food, why wouldn't you visit this place! I wish them loads of luck!
