Tandoori House Karon is a casual café in Phuket’s Karon area, just a short walk from Karon Circle. It’s an unpretentious place people drop into for a filling lunch or dinner and familiar comfort food — especially when they want Indian and Thai cuisine in one spot.
The menu leans heavily toward Indian staples done well: butter chicken, several versions of karahi (including prawn and lamb), dal makhani, biryani, and pani puri. Naan and curries are a real highlight here — garlic naan and cheese naan are often ordered as a must-have side. There are vegetarian and vegan options, and the spice level can be adjusted on request. For drinks, guests usually go for mango lassi, masala chai, plus watermelon juice or coconut water.
The Thai section holds its own, too: shrimp Pad Thai, Tom Yum, and Som Tam. Everything is cooked to order, plated neatly, and served in solid portions — one main with a flatbread is usually enough to leave you full.
Service is built around a friendly owner and attentive waitresses: they’re easy to talk to, happy to recommend dishes, and welcoming to children; sometimes staff members even speak Russian. A couple of practical details are worth keeping in mind, though: a 10% service charge is added to the bill, and at certain hours food can take noticeably longer to arrive, with occasional mix-ups in items or pricing — so it’s best to confirm the final total before paying.
