Best Indian restaurant buffet in Pattaya

[swordfisch]

Any thoughts / opinions as to the best Indian restaurant buffet in Pattaya?

There's 2 I'm aware of

1. 3rd road, 200 metres south of South Pattaya Rd, not far from Tony's gym (bt 199)

2. 2nd road, 200 metres north of South Pattaya Rd (bt 199) 

Any others?

Do any offer nan bread instead of just rice?

Cheers

All the Pattaya ones I've seen are crap and way overpriced. Get on a bus to Bangkok and go to the one in the Novotel Ploenchit. 249B and very high quality indeed. http://www.novotelbangkokploenchit.com/offers/indian-curry-lunch/

Otherwise you could try the one in the Beverly hotel if it still functions, though I would not bother:

Some are excellent, some are awful.

i,ve never worked in a commercial kitchen , but i read lots about them..

read Anthony Bordain and other world chefs...they all warn and laugh about buffets

i would if it were at the Hilton or Sheraton or Big hotel that has some health rules and standards.

but not in some dumpy indian joint that just keeps adding to the pot.   yuck....puke at the thought.

I agree. Despite being an Indian I've never dared to try Indian buffet in Pattaya and never will. Maybe OP should try getting a sneak peek to one of these kitchens and he'll be convinced.

I think people are greatly exaggerating the health risks of eating at local Indian buffets but there really aren't any local ones serving much more than basic quality food. To me, that's the issue.

I've tried them all and I've never suffered from it, apart from the disappointment. People worry too much and I see no reason to suspect that non-buffet kitchens are any cleaner or dirtier than buffet kitchens are. In fact in many ways a buffet is a safer bet as they wont keep particular menu items hanging around for days on the off-chance that someone may order them before they go rotten. Buffet items have much more rapid turnover.

As I said never been to an Indian buffet in Pattaya. But I've seen the kitchens at some of the Indian restaurants - not a very pleasant sight.

Do you think that Thai kitchens are any better? If so, take a look next time you go near a market. Other nationalities are probably no better, unless you stay well out of the realms of the 200B meal.

Indian people actually know how to cook safely in pretty bad conditions, or maybe my stomach is just an iron trap not sure

Maybe true about other nationalities but I'm surprised when you say that about Thais. I think the Thais have an OCD with cleanliness. I was once at a Street Food stall and washing the guy wash the plates. He was scrubbing so hard and so long I couldn't resist joking - "you should only wash the plate, not wash off the plate". Not sure he got it but he did laugh. Anyways as long as your stomach doesn't revolt try anything you like.
