Solid Indian cuisine - since 1979

Thailand (particularly the capital - Bangkok) maybe the country has more Indian restaurants to offer in our globe outside of India herself. I am a long time fans of Indian cuisine, due to her mysterious layers of taste and texture, strong and tender, wild and mild, as mystery as the country herself.

Numerous Indian restaurants sprawl out the city and most of them were stamped the authentication approval seal. Akbar, established in 1979 (before I was born? I dream!), is one of my favorite choices to crave for Indian food. Nowadays in Bangkok, many Indian restaurants go chic and high-so to dig our pocket deeper, Akbar is still cooking her humble dishes, the unpretentious way. And with good value!

Khao-mok-gai

Fried (or boiled) chicken on turmeric rice is khao-mok-gai or biryani rice with chicken. This single dish menu is of course well received by the Muslim community in Thailand, with increasing popularity among non-Muslim Thais as well. Khao-mok-gai is halal food.



Where to get a decent share of khao-mok-gai?

2. Food Court, 5/floor, the Emporium Mall
