Why it matters
Why Royal Indian Food is worth your time
Soi 61 sits among the beach hotels, so for many visitors this is the Indian restaurant that needs the least planning: no long taxi ride, and a menu that two published sources describe as having vegetarian choices.
For families who are cautious about hidden fish sauce and egg in Thai dishes, an Indian kitchen is an easier place to explain a no-meat diet. The listing on a vegetarian directory was last updated in March 2023, so treat it as a lead to verify rather than a guarantee, and ask your hotel to call ahead.

How to experience it
Ask for the Indian menu and look for the vegetarian dishes. A vegetarian directory entry describes a large vegan and vegetarian selection and staff who understand what vegan means, and a travel guide lists vegetarian options too. Ask which curries use cream, butter or ghee.
The guide names a seasonal mango lassi among its must-try items, along with meat curries that vegetarians will want to skip. Order bread and rice to share, then a dal or vegetable curry, and keep appetites in mind: older diners often prefer two or three shared dishes over a full plate each.
The restaurant also serves Thai and Chinese food, which helps a mixed group. It is a mixed kitchen, so we do not tag it pure vegetarian or Jain.
Plan with confidence
