Moti Mahal — Restaurant in Krabi Province

Staffs sucked more than the food!

We were in Thailand for a week to cover some content for our food page on Instagram (hungry.pants) and were really craving Indian food. That’s when we found this place. The salesman named Binod welcomed us. I asked if there were any discounts and he said that they don’t but they guarantee great food. This brought in more confidence and we took a table.

We got Chicken Tikka Masala, Cheese Garlic Naan, and plain Garlic Naan. The breads were okayish but the Chicken Tikka Masala was an ABSOLUTE DISRESPECT to Indian cuisine.

We continued eating so as to not waste any food but did call the waiter and reported that the main course was tasteless, to which they said “Aisa toh ho he nahi sakta” (It’s impossible). I was amazed by this reply and told them that it was my bad that I felt so.

Since Binod the salesman was very confident initially, I called for him and told that we trusted his words and confidence but the food was really bad.

We left the food midway, settled the bill, and just carried on with...

The water tap was broken and the liquid soap so diluted that it could not be called soap anymore. I also did not like the hassle in front of the restaurant when the waiters try to push literally every pedestrian into the restaurant. This technique is common at almost all restaurants in Ao Nang though. Visiting this restaurant was really a trip to India in a bad way - hassle outside of the restaurant, feeling that they only want your money and the unhygienic toilet on the top. I have to always ask myself how the kitchen looks when I see such a...

This food is amazing! They have fresh authentic Indian food that is full of flavor! They actually cook your dish, so when you order, it’s not going to be a 1-2 minute wait like in all those cheap places that have food half-cooked already, standing there for hours. I was watching out for that, it turns out to be more like 10 minutes for something simple. And that is what you want, if you want quality.

I asked who the owner was, and they said, Burmese. And that makes it even more special! It has this really nice quality, I can’t find words for it.

I just finished eating here, and I FEEL...
