    Fantastic experience for me and my friends. We ordered server Al dishes that we shared, which I think is a really good thing to do in this place, and tried both veg and non veg dishes. It was very tasty and felt authentic. The mutton dishes were the most flavorful, especially rogan josh. If I’m craving for Indian food, I’ll make sure I go back there

    My eyes were definitely bigger than my belly. I hadn't had Indian in quite a while. I couldn't decide so I picked a few things. All were great tasting. The service was very attentive. Only thing missing was a Taj Mahal beer. I would definitely go back.

    A very busy restaurant on a street with many options, this is the one that stood out for us. I love Indian food and after 5 days of Thai food for lunch and dinner I wanted a change. Menu is extensive, anything you could possibly want is on there with pictures too in case you wanted to try a new dish and unsure what it looks like. Prices are more than fair from what I have seen from different Indian places around the island. 3 front of house staff that are waiting on you and what looks like the owner behind the bar running the show. We ordered Chicken Vindaloo, Chicken Korma, Chips and rice which came to 580 baht, which is 50% less than what I would pay normally back home so I was pleased with that! The food did underwhelm though. I’ve eaten a LOT of Indian in my 30 years and it was probably the most disappointing portion of rice I’ve ever had, not because of quantity, that was fine but sheer quality. Clumpy and chewy, I usually always know I’m getting good rice when I go to an Indian. I didn’t here. Fries came out 5 minutes before the rest of the main course which I thought was odd. My vindaloo spice was perfect but actual temperature of my food? Warm at best. I like my food to come out piping hot, so I know it’s fresh and I can let it cool if I want to. I know by serving them in the dishes they do, the food will stay hot, so there will be no issue of it going cold but mine was just Luke warm and that let me down as I did really enjoy the taste of it. Place was busy and food did only take 35 minutes to come so a bonus there. I am going to air on the side of caution here because of the price and because of the actual flavor of the food and say 4/5 but if I was pushed and had the opportunity to do .5 this would be a 3.5. Would return but need a better quality next time to be able to return again.

    Lovely little spot for a curry. Polite and friendly staff. Quick to have your food on the table and the paneer was very fresh!

    Ate here multiple time during our stay near Lamai Beach. We loved the butter chicken and garlic naan. Their Arabic salad was also refreshing. They also delivered to our place after connecting on WhatsApp. I would definitely go back!

    What a discovery! This restaurant doesn't look much from outside but it serves some of the best Indian food I have had in my life. The tandoori mixed grill, butter chicken, mutton masala, fish pakura, garlic naan, onion bhajis and tarka daal were packed with flavour. Great service and prices too.

    Not great. Food was extremely salty. The salt was actually visible in lumps on the pakora/bhajis. The quality of the chicken used in the rogan josh was not good and very small pieces. The server was nice and pleasant though. Disappointing overall as it’s the only Indian restaurant in Lamai.

    Good food, quick service located in the heart of the Lamai area (a few minutes walk from the main beach). The staff were friendly without being too forceful. They even offered free delivery when we moved to another hotel which was on the other side of the island. Come here to explore the various north Indian food options, especially vegetarian and also to experience good customer service.

    I would rate 4.5, not 5. But 4 is too low. Service very good and polite. Food, tasty, very good value and portion sizes are large. One thing I would say, and why I would rate 4.5 not 5, is the cleanliness of the dining area is not so good. The bathroom in particular could do with some extra cleaning and a freshen up. I understand times are hard right now and business is not good, but it's important that you maintain what you have. Good luck in 2021!

    In my opinion this is the best Indian food restaurant in Samui. The food is completely original and traditional, the owner and staff are all Indian people who live in Samui and make great Indian food. In addition, prices are absolutely legit for the portions of the dishes. Im happy to come back every time🙏

    The best Indian Restaurant and Takeaway in Lamai! Sometimes I will eat in the restaurant, and sometimes I order for delivery and Mr Raj delivers himself, incredibly fast! Always amazing food and amazing service and a great price! I cannot complain at all.

    Walking by in the area looking for food and as we love a curry back home, the wife and I decided to go in. The menu looked good, price was very good and only when the food came out that I was happy with our decision. Big portions, so fresh all food came out piping hot, best Jalfrezie I’ve ever had.

    Amazing place for all Indians who are in search of authentic indian food in lamai, not only for indians but for people from other coutries too. They serve delicious indian food, during our koh samui stay in lamai we used to have atleast one meal at Live India and we loved whatever we ordered, so far we tried chicken tikka, chicken lasuni, naan, sizzling chicken, fried rice, paneer sabzi and chass. I wish them all the best and keep sering tasty food to all the tourist.

    We very often get Live India delivered to our home, and the delivery service is great! The food is personally brought by a member of staff of the restaurant. They put care and effort into their cooking and the curries taste amazing! We always go for the butter chicken, which is full of flavour! We have also dined in the restaurant which has a great atmosphere and very friendly service!

    The food is yummy. I loved tawa prawn and tandoori prawns, it is tasty and lip smacking. Loved it. The service was really good, owner wanted to drop us as it was raining. Kind soul. Thank you

  • 5/5 Neha P. 1 year ago on Google
    The food was awesome, tasty and not to be forgotten. One of the owners also offered us jaggery from his hometown and had a very welcome attitude for his guests just like family. He also offered us to drop us back to Phuket which we only appreciated. Really tasty food and good service. Sometimes the food is given late but I guess that depends on the hours you are visiting.

  • 5/5 Anuvind C. 1 year ago on Google
    Good Indian food with a full Indian menu. We had chicken do piyaaza, dal tadka, naan. Chicken was boneless and tasted good. Dal was just like home made. Naan as good as you'd get in an Indian restaurant in India. We ordered gulab jamun for dessert and same was decent as well. Overall a good experience. We were missing Indian food and this did not disappoint. Restaurant was walking distance from our hotel- pavilion samui
