Fodor's Review:

This little restaurant is the kind of place that earns Bangkok its reputation for excellent food. Roti (an 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; all versions are recommended. The curry chicken is another standout. Roti-Mataba is in a century-old building across from Santichaiprakarn Park on the Chao Phraya; the downstairs is narrow, hot, and usually crowded, but there's a more comfortable air-conditioned dining room upstairs.

A must visit for lovers of great food

Posted by jwobkk from New York, NY on 1/10/07
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.
