About

Cholasbkk is arguably one of Bangkok's most popular restaurants — full stop. With an extraordinary 4.9-star rating from nearly 8,000 Google reviews, this North Indian restaurant on Soi Phetchaburi 31 has achieved something rare: near-universal acclaim from a massive base of diners.

For families, the Indian cuisine here offers an accessible adventure for children who may not yet have tried Indian food, as well as a reliable comfort for those who already love it. The menu centers on North Indian classics: rich buttery curries, freshly baked naan and roti, tandoor-grilled meats, aromatic biryani rice, lentil dishes, and creamy yogurt-based sides. Many of these dishes are naturally mild or can be adjusted for children.

Soft naan bread, butter chicken, and sweet lassi drinks are often instant favorites with younger diners. The dairy-rich sauces and bread-heavy sides are filling and familiar enough to appeal to even hesitant young eaters.

Open every day from 10am to 11:30pm, Cholasbkk accommodates a wide range of family schedules. The restaurant is located near the Phetchaburi and Asok area, making it accessible from the Sukhumvit BTS corridor.

The sheer volume of positive reviews makes this one of the safest dining bets in Bangkok for families — the kitchen is consistent, the service is practiced, and the food reliably delivers. Arrive early to avoid peak-hour waits, particularly on weekends.
