Shree khodiyar kathiyawadi dhaba pure vegetarian indian restaurant phuket

Shree Khodiyar Kathiyawadi Dhaba is a spot near Patong Beach, Phuket, serving pure vegetarian Indian food with a strong focus on Gujarati and Kathiyawadi flavors. The place has an easy, homespun comfort to it: familiar spices, rich gravies, the aroma of ghee, and a simple, dhaba-style warmth in the way the food is presented.

The heart of the menu is the Gujarati–Kathiyawadi thali — set meals with a satisfying variety of dishes that make for a hearty lunch. The “Punjab thali,” in particular, is often enough for two. Thalis usually come with complimentary sides such as salads, plus a notably generous assortment of pickles (achar) and chutneys. You’ll also find items like bajra rotla, lasaniya bataka, dal tadka, sev tamatar, ghee rotli, khichdi, and crispy snacks. Popular drinks include masala chai and buttermilk (chaas). If needed, they can tone down the spice level for children.

The dining area is kept clean, and the staff are generally friendly and helpful when you’re choosing traditional “desi” dishes. That said, service can be inconsistent: waits do happen, dishes may not arrive together, and they sometimes prefer to bring the entire order at once. With strong air-conditioning, food can cool down quickly. Some guests find the rotis on the smaller side and the prices a bit higher than expected, and a few items may occasionally be unavailable. In rare cases, people have mentioned blunt communication or a dish that didn’t meet expectations — so it’s sensible to confirm ingredients and freshness before ordering.
