436 Chakkraphet Rd, Wang Burapha Phirom, Phra Nakhon, Bangkok 10200
Order the Amritsari kulcha first. The kulcha and chole pairing is the right introduction to what this kitchen does, and the butter chicken is the safer follow-up than the rogan josh on a first visit. Take a window seat if you can. Watching the canal walk while the naan basket arrives is part of the visit.
The address is 436 Chakkraphet Road, Phra Nakhon, and the location is part of the appeal. You are in Phahurat, the Little India pocket north of Pak Khlong Talat, with the Ong Ang Canal walkway one block over and the Indian fabric shops of Phahurat Road running parallel.
The kitchen is Punjabi. Amritsari kulcha, chole bhature, and butter chicken anchor the regular order, with palak paneer and lamb rogan josh on the heavier side and chicken tikka coming out of the tandoor. Freshly baked naan circulates fast.
Mains land in the ฿200 to ฿300 range, which keeps a four-person sharing meal well under what the Sukhumvit Indian restaurants charge for the same dishes.
This is a sit-down room, not a counter, and the dining feel matches the neighborhood. Locals from the Phahurat community show up, the table-turn is steady through dinner, and the staff handles English, Hindi, and Thai across the floor.
Getting here is easiest by Grab or taxi. The closest MRT is Sam Yot on the Blue Line, then a short walk south through Phahurat. If you are already walking the Ong Ang Canal in the evening, this is the natural dinner stop after the walk. Come with at least two people and order across the kulcha, the chole, and one tandoor plate. A single-dish order undersells what the kitchen actually offers.
