A wonderful Indian restaurant at the sea. We had the vegetarian Dahl (which has onions and more spice then the starter Dahl). It had good taste and you could see the little oil floating in the top. I had cheese Naan bread which was, to my surprise, a little sweet. It was light and moist. We also had a curry with mutton. It had good spice and good taste of lamb. We had veggie samosa for starters which was great with a mint sauce. Overall a nice place with a very caring owner who was proud of his own food. Also try the Indian masala tea with milk and honey it was a very pleasant drink to calm all the spice.

Royal India, may seem pricey but the prices are similar to or much less than those of most Indian restaurants in Phuket. Before the covid era, this restaurant hardly had any serious competition in Kamala. Now a new Indian restaurant called Suraj has opened in Kamala on the main road. This new restaurant is charging 70 baht for one skimpy plain naan which is what a lot of the better Indian restaurants charge in Patong. A pretty large Chappati or plain Naan are for only 40 baht each at Royal India. The service too is much much faster than Suraj's.

Baabar, the owner/chef, is very friendly and is very helpful if you have no idea of how much or how little to order. The food is tasty and not overly hot/spicy but can be hot if you ask for it.

I usually come here with a companion. We tend to order mutton seekh-kebab, daal, palak-paneer and 3 plain naan-breads. Baaber makes better daal-makhanni than most other Indian-cuisine restaurants.

These days when i come alone, i order the Aaloo Gobi or the Aaloo Mutter dishes along with 2 chappatees. Please see my photos...

Let’s break this down…

Location- right on beach and access can be odd as you navigate through the vendors to find it.
Setting- it’s a hole in the wall. Anyone complaining it lacks ambience; whatever. Who cares.
People- The owners, a lovely couple are welcoming and delightful. They take pride in their culinary delights and love seeing how they light up when told their food is amazing.
Now food- from the get go I tried drinking my body weight in mango lassis. DEEEEELICIOUS! Garlic naans are awesome! Poppadoms were different than anything eaten in UK or US but so light and airy. The curry; on par with everything had before.

Again, it’s all about treating people right and in turn they poor their very best into those who appreciate them. Those saying, well I ought to get the best because I’m paying. Whatever, be kind.
