Why it matters
Why Dosa King is worth your time
Dosa King is one of the older names in Bangkok's Indian vegetarian dining scene, and it shows how the Indian community in Sukhumvit shaped the area's food. For travellers who are strictly vegetarian, a restaurant that is vegetarian throughout removes the daily worry about shared pans and fish sauce.
It is useful as a base for a rest day in the middle of a temple-heavy trip. You can eat a meal that tastes familiar, and the Nana location is easy to reach by BTS.

How to experience it
Dosa King describes itself as a 100 percent pure vegetarian Indian restaurant that has operated since 2002. It sits in the Nana area of Sukhumvit, a short walk from the BTS station. The menu runs through South Indian staples such as dosas and idlis, and North Indian vegetarian dishes in the Punjabi style.
For first-timers, order a dosa and a thali if your group wants a full meal, and ask for the spice to be adjusted. A directory lists vegan dishes on the menu as well, though it does not give a complete list, so vegan guests should ask which dishes are made without ghee, butter, cream or paneer.
The area around Soi 11 is also home to other Indian restaurants, so you can compare and choose. For Jain guests, the restaurant is not confirmed as Jain on the sources we opened, so phone ahead and ask whether onion, garlic and root vegetables can be left out.
