Maa Pure Vegetarian Indian Restaurant
Ground floor, Indra Square, 120/23 Ratchraprop Soi 3, Pratunam Room 841, Phaya Thai, Bangkok 10400
A fully vegetarian kitchen covering the breadth of the subcontinent, from street-food chaats to slow-cooked dals, Maa is a rare find in central Bangkok. The Amritsari Kulcha, Dal Tadka, and Samosa Chaat are standout orders. The restaurant opens daily from 10 AM through to 11:30 PM, giving you a full window from lunch through late dinner.
You step off the street-level entrance of Indra Square at 120/23 Ratchaprop Soi 3 and find a dining room whose interiors carry printed quotes dedicated to mothers, the meaning behind the name Maa. The space is bright and accessible, with both indoor and outdoor seating, and the restaurant holds wheelchair access throughout.
The kitchen is entirely vegetarian and covers both North and South Indian traditions alongside street food and chaat. You can build a meal around Amritsari Kulcha, the leavened bread stuffed and cooked in a tandoor that is central to Punjabi cooking, or anchor it on a bowl of Dal Tadka finished with a tempering of spices. Samosa Chaat, Chhole Bhature, and Paneer Makhani appear across the menu alongside lighter options like Chaas, the salted buttermilk drink common to North Indian tables.
For those approaching from a South Indian direction, the menu covers those formats as well, making Maa a practical choice for mixed groups with varying regional preferences. Butter Roti and Vegetable Pulao round out the carbohydrate options, and Chinese Bhel adds a cross-cultural street-food note that reflects the restaurant's Bangkok address.
Free Wi-Fi is available throughout, and the kitchen runs from 10:00 AM to 11:30 PM daily, which gives you a generous window across lunch, late afternoon, and dinner. The Pratunam location, inside one of the neighbourhood's landmark shopping complexes, makes it an easy stop whether you are arriving from the BTS or navigating on foot.
