I’m an American who was trained by a Hyderabadi mother on South Indian cuisine. I’m passionate about Indian food of all kinds, I cook it regularly, and I eat at Indian restaurants all over the world. In general, Thailand has great Indian food with a lot of variety that service both the many travelers who come here from everywhere and Indian people who live and visit here as well. So the standard for Indian cuisine is high. Panchwati is a great restaurant in that high caliber mix. It’s a small business, and they are informal, so come and enjoy a cordial time with them, try new things, don’t freak out if what you wanted isn’t available that day or at that time, which is something they clearly state on their menu and website. Ask for a recommendation, try something new. They get customers from all over the world, including from cultures that don’t smile at each other all the time, so don’t be quick to judge. My wife and I stayed near the North end of Pattaya and this Indian restaurant was closest to us. We’ve gone almost every night, and I’m a snob about Indian food. They do great work.
