Arabia Restaurant — Restaurant in Chiang Mai Province

"Arabia - Haleema and Farooq" is a fantastic Pakistani-Indian-Arabic non-veg and veg food restaurant run by an elderly Pakistani-origin gentleman Mr Farrok, along with the women from his family. A fantastic acknowledgement to women's contribution to food industry, and a rare sight of such recognition. His restaurant used to be in Charoen Prathet 1 Alley, near night bazzar for many years, due to CoVid19 economic impact he shifted to a new place and managing the restaurant with family members now. I totally enjoyed the Keema curry (goat meat curry) with naan made to taste and liking, it was really good home made like taste. He can customise the dish for you, if you let him know your taste/palate preference. I enjoyed talking to him sharing stories of my own cross-border friendships and challenges. He also sells South Asian food stuff in Chiang Mai, feel free to connect with him (name card posted). I am surely coming back for more!...

This restaurant is astoundingly wonderful. Do not mix it up with the lackluster restaurant next door. This one has a green sign facing the road and only two tables outside, the majority of it's seating is actually inside the restaurant.

Their prices have stayed nearly the same for over 10 years!!! Their dishes are delicious. If you haven't tried Indian or middle eastern food, please do yourself the kindness of trying it here, where it is the way it is meant to be. The dishes are not imitations, but home cooked meals prepared by a chef who grew up eating these dishes and cooking them for over 20 years.

Don't know what to get? My suggestion is butter chicken, garlic naan, mutton curry, paneer pakora and a mango or banana lassi (a drink). Be warned, this will feed at least 3 people and you should walk around the market...

I was really looking forward to eating here today on my birthday. But sadly was very disappointed. I ordered a lot to have lots of leftovers for dinner. But they didn't have about 30% of what I wanted on their menu. We were the only customers and they said things like 'You are taking too long to order' and 'The chef doesn't want you to order more food" . Some of the food was good, but some was only so so. My girlfriend is Thai and they made rude comments in front of me in Thai (they are Pakistani) and when I went to the restroom the owner said he can give a discount but not if a Western foreigner is there because they are rich. I was really surprised at...
