Ali Baba

Ali Baba (trading as Alibaba Tandoori & Curry Restaurant) is a Pattaya institution — by its own account the city's longest-serving Indian restaurant, open since 1984 and now well past its 40th year. It sits on Central Pattaya Road (Pattaya Klang), a couple of hundred metres in from the beach between Beach Road and Second Road, which makes it one of the most convenient Indian meals in the tourist core. The kitchen is classic North Indian and tandoori: aromatic curries from butter chicken to rogan josh, sizzling tandoori platters, biryanis, dals and a full range of freshly baked naan and roti, with a generous vegetarian selection alongside the meat. Four decades in business have earned it a solid following among tourists and expats, and it holds a respectable Tripadvisor rating (around 4.1 of 5 across several hundred reviews, ranked in the city's upper tier) — good rather than flawless, with the occasional off-note you'd expect from a high-volume veteran. Prices are mid-range: most curries run a few hundred baht, so a shared spread with breads and rice is very reasonable for the quality. The air-conditioned dining room is comfortable if unshowy — this is a place trading on consistency and longevity rather than the latest design — and it offers delivery and catering as well as sit-down meals. For a dependable, central Indian dinner with genuine heritage, it's a safe bet.

Ruchi Indian Restaurant

Ruchi is a long-running, well-regarded Indian restaurant on Central Pattaya Road, a short walk up from Beach Road and opposite the Basaya Beach Hotel. It's a proper subcontinental kitchen rather than a tourist curry stop: the menu runs to well over 200 dishes spanning Indian, Bangladeshi, Thai and Chinese cooking, it's Halal, and there's a full spread of vegetarian and non-vegetarian options plus Indian thali sets. Regulars rate it for consistency and value — tandoori and curries at reasonable, non-tourist prices — and it holds a solid rating on the review sites (around 4.3 on Tripadvisor across many reviews), which is high for a busy central Indian in Pattaya. Staff typically speak Hindi, Bengali, English and Thai, which makes ordering easy for a mixed group, and the kitchen handles spice levels on request. It's a sit-down, air-conditioned neighbourhood restaurant rather than a fine-dining room; decor is simple and it can get busy, so service occasionally slows at peak times. The Central Pattaya Road location is handy if you're staying near the beach or Central Festival, with parking tight on the street. Portions are generous and it's popular for both dine-in and delivery. Prices are mid-range for Pattaya; confirm current hours before a special trip, as small kitchens here adjust their times.
