Chana Masala

Top choice in Ko Pha-Ngan


Classic Bollywood hits play and wooden faces of Hindu gods Kali and Baghvan peer down at you inside this spacious venue decked out in Indian teak serving the best Indian vegetarian food on the island. If they haven't sold out, go for the excellent-value thali (platter), but if they have then the dosas (rice crepe) are a great substitute.
