leola74 Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 We used to go eat Roti with curry (โรตีแกง) at Fariah Muslim Restaurant across the road from Bangkok Hospital. However, their roti man left over a year ago, and they haven't been making roti since. We did find a couple of other choices, but they weren't very good or didn't have curry: * Bon Nern, right next to ISS school on Soi Bandon Hospital -- the curry was awful, it was made with condensed milk! * Roti Decha on ring road, near turn-off to Chaweng Lakeview hotel, place looks cool and has a 100 roti dishes, the roti is great ..... but no curry (even though it's on the menu), and they closed about 6 months ago ? Any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spidermike007 Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 In my opinion by far, the best Indian restaurant on Samui is Live India, in Lamai. No place else comes even close! Tried most of them. And very reasonable too. Good spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leola74 Posted July 24, 2018 Author Share Posted July 24, 2018 But do they have roti with curry? I'm not talking about Indian Nan bread, but the Southern Thai / Malay version, eaten with curry dip, usually for breakfast. Something like this: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No but there is a place not too far away on the ring road called 'Lamai Halal Centre' or something like that. Small place with a green sign and only open in the evenings. Gets quite busy.

leola74 Posted July 24, 2018 Author Share Posted July 24, 2018 Ah yes, we've been there, too. Not bad, but not great. Ideally would like a place open for breakfast, actually. Any more suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None that I can think of I'm afraid except maybe to ask the fella at Live India and they are quite knowledgeable and have been happy to help me on a number of things in the past.

PoorSucker Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 Are we talking about Mataba? Was going to suggest Fahria. Nothing even comes close to the Mataba in Penang. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evadgib Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 The last place on the left before Hin Lat waterfall at a guess (landwards from old immigration jct), or sunset restaurant on the right-angle as you enter Naton seafront from Lamai. Babo in Maenam will probably have it on the menu but AFAIK isn't open for breakfast. HTH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leola74 Posted July 26, 2018 Author Share Posted July 26, 2018 I know Sunset restaurant, problem is that their roti's are the frozen kind from Macro, not made to order like Fariah used to do ? I'll have to check out the place by Hin Lat, thank you for that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leola74 Posted August 28, 2018 Author Share Posted August 28, 2018 Just made a fantastic discovery: Krua Bang Por, on Bang Por beach, diagonally across from the 7-11, now has a roti station on the road, and they make a good curry dip to go with it, THB 50 for a set with two rotis and the curry. Haven't had a better one in Samui for sure. They're open from 1pm to 10:30pm daily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New Roti place on Chaweng Lakeview road almost across street from the Black Duck. Found it yesterday, totally packed, 10 people in que before me for take out, had to wait 15 min, totally worth it. Two chefs working constantly, three waitresses. Big Roti menu including Mataba (50 baht). Got my son a chicken hamburger for 49 that the he liked.
