Royal India: A Legacy of Indian Cuisine in Bangkok

Royal India, located in the Phahurat area, is now managed by the third generation of its founding family. The restaurant has evolved from a humble sweets shop into a landmark destination for both tourists and locals, with aspirations to develop a 'Little India' in Bangkok. The journey of Royal India began with Somkid's grandfather, who initially opened a sweets shop. As the shop gained popularity among the local Indian community and Thai customers, the family decided to expand into a full-fledged Indian restaurant. Today, Royal India is renowned for its rich and flavorful curries. For nearly 40 years, Royal India has been featured in Lonely Planet, the globally recognized travel guidebook for Thailand. This inclusion has significantly boosted its reputation among international visitors. Lonely Planet maintains strict standards, and only restaurants with exceptional quality and taste make it onto their recommended list.
