Saras is permanently closed

Saras was a vegetarian Indian restaurant at Royal Garden Plaza in Central Pattaya. It is not a current dining option. HappyCow marks the Pattaya branch closed and says the closure was confirmed in January 2022, after a report that the restaurant’s website and Facebook page were no longer operating. HappyCow

The former listing places Saras at 218 Moo 10, Beach Road, inside Royal Garden Plaza. HappyCow describes a ground-floor location and notes a relocation within the centre in December 2018. That history helps explain why older search results may point to different floors or nearby positions in the mall.

What the restaurant was known for

Before closure, Saras focused on vegetarian Indian food. HappyCow’s historical description includes Indian regional dishes, Indian-Chinese food and Thai vegetarian choices. A 2017 Times Travel guide described it as a vegetarian and vegan-friendly Indian restaurant and mentioned North and South Indian dishes, gluten-free food and Jain choices. Those are historical descriptions, not a promise of a replacement restaurant at the address. Times Travel

What to do instead

Skip the former Saras address when planning a vegetarian meal. The useful takeaway is its closure date, not its old hours, menu or telephone number. Search for a currently confirmed Pattaya vegetarian restaurant and check its latest direct listing before travelling; the Saras references that remain online are primarily useful to people trying to identify a closed venue.

Curry Home

Curry Home is a small, owner-run Indian and Nepali restaurant in central Pattaya, the kind of unfussy neighbourhood curry house that regulars return to rather than a polished tourist showpiece. The kitchen covers the familiar North Indian and Nepali ground — tandoori grills, rich curries, dal, paneer and vegetable dishes, and fresh breads from the tandoor — and the two things that come up most in reviews are the tandoori cooking and the naan, which is turned out big, hot and fresh. A useful hook for budget-minded diners is the set deals: one curry with two naans (or naan and rice) plus a drink for around 250 baht, which brings a proper Indian meal into reach at a price that undercuts à-la-carte ordering. The owners are hands-on and the regulars are loyal, though service can be hit-or-miss depending on who is working, and — as with most Indian restaurants in Pattaya — prices sit above the Thai food nearby. Honest critics also note that some curries share a common base, so ordering three very different-sounding dishes can taste more similar than you would hope; the tandoori items and the set deals are the safer picks. For anyone in central Pattaya wanting a straightforward, well-priced Indian or Nepali meal without trekking to a bigger name, Curry Home is a solid neighbourhood choice.

Chotivala

Chotivala is a pure vegetarian Indian restaurant opposite Central Festival on Pattaya Sai Song Road, serving North and South Indian and Jain-focused food.
