Indian Hut

Established in 1995, Indian Hut is one of the longest-running Indian restaurants in Bangkok, specializing in Northern Indian and Indian-Chinese cuisine. Think of all-time favorites like murg malai kebab (tender marinaded chicken skewers), tandoori chicken, and tandoori prawns on the meat-eater side of things. If you are looking for vegetarian options, then check out the paneer butter masala, palak kofta (spinach dumplings in an onion and tomato curry), vegetable jalfrezi (a veggie stir fry with chilies). The venue is generally pretty large and good for big parties. They have a decent selection of cocktails and wines as well.

Indus

Indus has consistently maintained its high standards and dedication to serving authentic mughalai style Indian cuisine since 2005. Set in a gracious 1960s house with a leafy tropical garden, it has represented the peak of northern Indian fine dining for more than a decade, and is credited for initiating (and converting) many thai diners to being fans of Indian cuisine. Popular dishes range from raan (seven-hour slow cooked mutton leg that falls off the bone, B500/150g, B990/300g, B1,690/500g), kebab-e-malai (B390), and butter chicken (B390) with a lip-smacking butteriness and smoky, tender meat.

Rang Mahal

This multi-award winning Indian restaurant offers arguably the most stunning view of Bangkok’s skyline out of any Indian venue. The abundant food spread—sinfully rich curries such as the macchli tikka (marinated seabass in creamy tikka curry, B560), perfectly barbecued tandoori meats and pillowy breads—tastes as inspired as it always has done, while the ambience is more than a match for it. For the best experience, pick one of the window seats amid Rang Mahal’s decadent blend of OTT plasterwork and regal fabrics.

Tucked away inside Siam Paragon, the restaurant has upgraded it's setting since moving to Siam Piwat's flagship mall.

Sri Ganesha

There is a homey vibe here thanks to the kitchen-tiles, old television playing Bollywood songs, and stainless steel plates. Shri Ganesha is a South Indian specialist, a less common style of Indian cuisine that you can hardly find in Bangkok. There is less garlic and onions than North Indian, and more mustard seeds and curry leaves. Entrees include the comforting uthapam (B96), and the quintessential and wonderfully crispy rava masala dosa (oniony rice crepe with spicy potatoes, B100). Both are made to order and come with fiery sambhar (lentil soup with vegetables, B120) and chutneys.

G/F, Sukhumvit Suites, 19/13-14 Sukhumvit Soi 13, 02-651-1335, 089-167-4889. Open daily 10am-10pm
