About

Punjabi Tarka is listed on public map data as a Punjabi restaurant in central Pattaya and carries a Facebook page, but we have not been able to independently confirm it is currently trading. We are holding this listing back rather than publishing an unverified review.

Status

As of our last check (July 2026), “Punjabi Tarka” does not appear on TripAdvisor or Restaurant Guru; those searches return the separate Punjabi Tadka and Tarka House. Given the name overlap and the churn among small Indian kitchens here, we would rather flag the uncertainty than guess.

Punjabi Dhaba

Punjabi Dhaba is a North Indian restaurant on Pattaya Soi 8, cooking the hearty, unapologetically rich food of the Punjab — the dal makhani, butter chicken, tandoori and fresh naan that 'dhaba' (roadside eatery) cooking is built on. It is tucked just off Beach Road and Second Road in the busy Soi 6–8 cluster of Central Pattaya, so it is an easy walk from a lot of hotels, and it leans on chefs who cook regional Punjabi recipes rather than a watered-down 'international curry' menu. Expect the classics done properly: slow-cooked black-lentil dal makhani, creamy butter chicken, paneer dishes for vegetarians, biryanis and a tandoor turning out naan and grilled meats. Prices are middle-of-the-road for Pattaya Indian — mains sit roughly in the 250–350 baht band, with breads and sides cheaper — and there is dine-in seating, including a family lounge and a covered terrace, plus takeaway and delivery. It is a solid, no-nonsense choice for a proper North Indian meal in the middle of town, particularly for vegetarians and anyone missing real tandoor bread. Note that Soi 8 is a lively, bar-heavy street, so the setting is more 'busy central Pattaya' than serene.

Punjabi Corner

Punjabi Corner is a small, well-regarded North-Indian (Punjabi) restaurant in the busy Soi Buakhao area of central Pattaya. It's a modest, unassuming place that punches above its size on the review sites — it carries an excellent rating (around 4.8 on Restaurant Guru across scores of reviews), largely on the strength of tasty, home-style Punjabi cooking and warm, attentive service. The menu is classic North-Indian comfort food: tandoori chicken and tikka, rich curries (butter chicken, dal, paneer dishes), biryanis and fresh naan and roti from the tandoor, with plenty of vegetarian options — a Punjabi kitchen is one of the more reliable choices for veggie travellers in Pattaya. Prices are affordable, portions are generous, and the vibe is casual and friendly rather than fancy. Sitting in the Soi Buakhao district, it's within easy walking distance of a huge concentration of budget hotels and guesthouses, which makes it a handy, good-value Indian option for anyone based in central Pattaya. It's the kind of neighbourhood curry house locals return to rather than a polished destination restaurant — come for honest food and hospitality, not decor.

Tea Partner Vegetarian Indian Restaurant

Tea Partner was a vegetarian Indian restaurant on Pattaya Klang Road that relocated to 334 Moo 10 before HappyCow reported it closed in December 2020.
