Highway Curry - Authentic Indian | Thai | Vegan | Kata, Phuket

Highway Curry in the Kata area puts the spotlight on authentic Indian curries and freshly baked naan. The menu makes it easy to build a full dinner — anything from spicy dal tadka and mixed vegetable dishes to classics like butter chicken and chicken tikka masala. The gravies are rich, the spices come through clearly, and the paneer is especially tender. Naan is served in several versions — garlic, cheese, or classic — always hot and fragrant.

A major highlight is the extensive vegan menu, along with a strong selection of vegetarian options such as aloo gobi, pakora, soy kebabs, and spring rolls. To go with your meal, you can choose drinks like mango lassi (including a coconut-cream version) and masala chai. For dessert, there are Indian sweets as well as vegan ice cream in unusual flavors.

Inside, the restaurant feels like a clean, recently refreshed, air-conditioned space — bright, tidy, and comfortable, with some seating areas leaning into a more “Eastern” style. The background music is calm and never gets in the way of conversation, and the service is attentive and friendly. Portions are generous — often enough to share — while prices stay around the mid-range for Kata.

There are also a few Thai dishes on the menu (such as tom yum and fried rice), but the restaurant’s identity is clearly defined by its Indian cuisine. Wait times can occasionally run longer — especially for drinks or delivery — so it’s best to plan your order ahead.
