Yg - Mae Sai

Due to the closure of the Tachileik border, this family-run restaurant has experienced a significant decline in business and could use your support. I have been dining here weekly for the past year and am always impressed by the wide variety of curries that are served with chapati. They also offer an aloo paratha with an abundance of onions, which may not be to everyone's liking, but is still a great option if you are looking for something other than Thai food in Mae Sai. Make sure to check whether they are open and allow for up to an hour for your order to be prepared. I recommend bringing your own container for take-out and returning at the specified time for pick-up, as the dining area has been converted back to a living space during Covid preparations. The dishes are perfectly spiced for my taste (similar to what you would find at an average authentic Indian restaurant, ranging from mild to medium heat) and feature a variety of ingredients such as potatoes, eggplants, cauliflower, etc., which change regularly. I did not inquire about the use of ghee during my visits, so strict vegans may want to confirm this before ordering. After numerous visits, I have noticed the excessive use of aluminum foil, small plastic bags, and rubber bands, which makes me feel slightly guilty.

If you take the bus from Chiang Mai to Mae Sai for a border trip and don't spend too much time in Burma, you can find this hidden gem on the left side of the road at the Thai border. Turn left on Tessaban Soi 6 and walk about 30 meters to discover a delicious, hot, and fresh restaurant offering huge portions for less than 40-50 baht per dish. It is family owned and operated, providing a cozy atmosphere for a quick bite before heading back to the main road to catch a motorcycle taxi back to the bus station for 50 baht. You can also find a small shop selling Indian and Nepalese goods inside, as well as a car on the street selling fried snacks (many of which are vegan). Simply follow the main road and bend as described, or use the map on Happy Cow to guide you there in just 3-4 minutes from the border. Enjoy your meal!

I waited at this family restaurant while waiting for my bus back to Chiang Mai. It was very quiet and the man serving me was very kind. I enjoyed the homemade Indian-style food, which tasted clean and healthy. The Aalu-Brot was delicious. I will definitely come back when I pass through again.

Since the border was closed to tachileik, this family-run settlement has seen the business significantly slower and could use its support. I have eaten here every week for the past year and am always surprised and impressed by the variety of curries that can accompany a chapati. they also offer an Aloo-Patha with too many wobbles for my preference, but still great if something non-Thai in mae sai is desired. they ask themselves if their grating is open, and give them up to an hour to prepare. I think it works best to give them a container for taking out, they go to do something else, and come back to the time they specify to pick up as the area has been restored to the living space during our current Covid preparation. there is only the perfect level of flavor for me (probably what an average authentic Indian restaurant between mild and medium,) kartoffeln as stack, but also often auberginen, flower cabbage, etc., vary each time. during the review I did not ask if they use ghee, so strict vegans need to confirm. I feel guilty of how much aluminum foil, small plastic bags and my bum rubber bands visit after dozens of:
