How to experience it
The Grill of India is listed on Prapokklao Road in the old city. A travel roundup describes it as a North Indian restaurant with grilled chicken tikka, samosas served with chutney and a vegetable thali.
The word grill in the name is a clue: the tandoor and meat dishes are central, so this is a mixed kitchen rather than a vegetarian one. A vegetarian can still eat well by asking for the thali, the samosas and a dal with bread, but should ask whether the same grill and oil are used.
For a family with mixed diets, it works as a compromise: some order the tikka, others the thali. Ask for mild seasoning for elders, and let the staff know about onion, garlic or egg before the food is cooked.
Plan with confidence
