Roti-Mataba

Roti-Mataba Review

This little restaurant, housed in a century-old building across from Santichaiprakarn Park on the Chao Phraya, is where you'll find decent (though not innovative) Indian food in Bangkok. You'll be hard-pressed to find anything on the menu for more than B100. Roti (unleavened, whole-wheat flatbread) filled with your choice of vegetables, chicken, beef, fish, seafood, or just sweetened with thick condensed milk, are cooked near the door of the restaurant. Many curries, including Massaman—a Muslim curry that has a strong peanut flavor—are also served at a steam table. Avoid the narrow downstairs dining area, which is unpleasantly hot and usually crowded; there's a more comfortable air-conditioned room upstairs.

    I enjoyed a fantastic breakfast here before a walking tour of the Banglampu area including the famous Khao San Road. True, the portions are small but the prices are even smaller. The roti is stunningly good. I ended up ordering more and more. Definitely one of the best eating destinations in Bangkok.
