The short answer
Indus Bangkok: what visitors should know first
A good choice for a special family dinner if some of you eat vegetarian and others do not. It is a mixed menu, not a vegetarian restaurant, so strict Pure Veg or Jain guests should look elsewhere or ask very carefully. Reserve a table.

Why it matters
Why Indus Bangkok is worth your time
Sukhumvit is the part of Bangkok where Indian dining is richest, and most options are casual. Indus sits at the other end of the range, a place for a celebratory dinner where the room and the service matter as much as the plate.
It works for families that include both vegetarians and non-vegetarians, a common situation on multigenerational trips. Elders who eat only vegetarian food can order from the vegetarian list while everyone else shares the rest, and the table stays together. Strict households should still prefer a pure vegetarian restaurant for daily meals.

How to experience it
Indus is at 71 Sukhumvit Soi 26, a short ride from Phrom Phong BTS. Wikivoyage places it in the splurge category at around 1,000 baht a head, and describes the food as mainly authentic North Indian, with spicy dishes, a list of vegetarian options and wines from around the world. The dining room has sandstone walls and wood carvings.
This is a mixed menu, so the useful way to use it is to book for a mixed group, then ask the waiter to point out the vegetarian section. Dal, paneer and vegetable curries with naan and rice make up a vegetarian meal; ask how the dals are finished, since ghee and cream are normal in North Indian cooking.
The listing gives lunch and dinner service windows, with a break in the afternoon. Phone ahead for a table, especially at weekends. Jain and strict vegetarian guests should ask whether vegetarian dishes share pans and oil with meat before ordering.
