Guest sentiment
A snapshot of what local diners frequently mention about this location.
"I went here to have masala chai. I was tempted to order more food but I was not hungry enough so I just added samosas. Enjoyed it very much! Will definitely go back and try their food the next time I visit the island! Looking at the menu and the prices, I say it’s fairly priced."
"One of the best Indian restaurants I’ve been to! We ate variety of dishes, everything was very authentic and superb"
"Incredibly tasty food. I am vegetarian and also can’t stand any spicy food. Here I 2 times and both of them were so tasty, that I feel like I haven’t been eating that tasty even while my 2 month stay in India! Wish the owner and the workers all the best from my heart!"
"Very clean, friendly, sweet place with high vibes, loving energy all around! Panda (the dog's owner) is the cutest host... if you love animals, you will be very happy & lucky to meet this angel here that will melt your heart with her bright eyes and luscious black & white fur... she looks super healthy & clean. We normally eat only fruits, but made an exception for this place, because we heard so many great things about it from different people... and it really exceeded our expectations! This tiny restaurant offers the most delicious simple vegan meals on the island with truly amazing authentic Indian touch! Super affordable prices on top. The experience was all around lovely . We give it all the stars!!"
"Lea is truly a chef from God! Everything I've tasted in her cafe has been superb. It was the best I have ever eaten even in India."
"Simply the best Indian food I've had on the island Delicious. Catering for everyone's food habits."
"Drove to the other side of the island to have food here cause I heard it was really good! I’m so glad I did. I would highly highly highly recommend the fish curry. It was so delicious you don’t even need the roti with it..! I found a chicken vindaloo had a bit of sugar in it, which was a bit surprising because it’s supposed to be very spicy, that spinach, potatoes dish was very good, but on the cold side and the lentils were also very good! We had also ordered the Bhindi vindaloo & y least favourite dish as I think it was made to quick and the ladyfingers okra were still crunchy and not fully cooked so I didn’t end up eating any of it just had a couple of bites to taste it. However, I think if it was cooked fully, it would be not too bad. We spoke to the owner, and she is a Thai lady, who taught herself how to cook Indian food! Definitely go and check it out. It’s worth driving out there for the fish curry. How to find us: Make sure you follow us, Follow Fauzia around Bangkok and beyond. on our website too! You can find Follow Fauzia on IG, FB and of course our YT channel has over 700 videos all vlogs on food reviews plus YT shorts are plenty."
"The Best Indian Restaurant in Koh Phangan. I went there for twice. The owner served very fresh ingredients. She cooked every menu after you ordered so it takes a bit time but she cooked quickly. I ordered chicken vindaloo. It was tasty and spicy. I love it. Also, I ordered a set of 3 menus. It was brilliant. The restaurant open at 1 pm. Recommend!"
