We had an amazing experience at Chai N Thai @ Nimman in Chiang Mai. Everything was absolutely delicious!!
We started with samosas, which were perfectly seasoned and incredibly tasty.
Then we ordered butter chicken and a Chinese-Indian dish, both full of flavor and truly memorable.
We paired everything with butter roti and butter naan, which made the experience even better.
The atmosphere is very pleasant, and the service was extremely attentive, making us feel very well taken care of.
Without a doubt, this has been one of the best dining experiences we’ve had on our trip.
I’ve never been to India, but this meal truly made me want to travel there.
Highly recommended.

I was really craving Indian food while wandering around Nimman Road, so we decided to give this restaurant a try. My partner couldn’t handle much heat, so we tried mild dishes: butter chicken, coconut potato curry, garlic naan, and dosa with sambar. The aroma of mixed spices immediately lit up our senses. Coconut potato curry had a particularly rich taste of tropical comfort with a touch of sweetness balancing the savory gravy. Dosa was perfectly spongy and airy, though I wish the exterior had been a bit crispier. I also loved the sambar’s homey flavor- it reminded me of those bowls of sambar I used to have (and miss a lot) at my South Indian friends’ dinner parties. I’m also glad I got to have a brief chat with the owner. He was genuinely warm and welcoming. I’d happily come back to this place and try more of the menu. It gave me yet another solid reason to return to Chiang Mai.

Absolutely delicious Indian food in the heart of Chiang Mai!
The flavors are authentic, portions generous, and the staff incredibly warm and welcoming.
Loved what we ordered. Chapati with ghee, Roti and the chicken curry that went with it.
A must-visit for anyone craving real Indian cuisine in Chiang mai.

Lots of Indian and a bit local food. Delicious food and wonderful ladies working here :-))). I tried jackfruit with chicken curry and it was a very interesting one. Lassy is also good. And! They grow their own garden, tomatoes, parsley, cabbage etc just near the entrance. Saw lots of Indian people eating here.

Hands down the best Indian food I’ve had in years. Perfectly balanced flavours and spices, with an incredible range of vegetarian dishes as well as excellent meat options. Everything we tried was outstanding.
We ate here twice during our trip to Chiang Mai, which says it all. Phenomenal value for the quality, and the staff were attentive, friendly, and efficient. It’s clearly popular too — every table was taken both times. A must-visit if you love Indian food.

What a lovely place. The food is amazing. The hosts are lovely. I ordered a medium level of spicy, it arrived as I like it with full of spices and flavors. The consistency of the food is spot on. The mango lasi added a fresh half sweet taste to end the meal.

Very good experience, the food is tasty, panipuri was exceptional! Also, I’m not very familiar with Indian cuisine, and the kind waiter helped me choose a curry and recommended tasty garlic naan to me – it was all really good. Amazing masala tea!
Overall, a very positive experience, reasonable pricing (we spend 600thb for the whole meal). Recommend and will come back for sure!

Oh my – such an amazing Indian food from both North and South. Everyone will find something that makes them happy. There are tones of veggie and vegan options and of course meat. Actually it seems that they have everything including breakfast and deserts. One of the best places in town. Staff are very nice and the owner really knows how to cook well.

We had pani puri, vegetarian thali and dosa. Everything is delicious and spice was just right for us, not too overpowering, but we mentioned less spicy for us. If you prefer more intense flavor, they probably will do as you like. We had a friendly welcome and service! ✨
