Chotivala

I tried the North Indian Thali.

The taste was good.
The use of frozen veg in there mix veg curry was a disappointment.
Generally it was a good taste. But the quality could have been better.


There are many Indian restaurants in Pattaya.
I've had much better quality Thali in Bangkok Suckhamvit.
I would not come back here unless the other Indian restaurants near by are worse quality.

Choti Vala North & South Vegetarian and Jain Indian Food

I am a lover of Thali (a Thali is a combination plate of Indian food) because I often eat alone and want to have a variety of flavors. To order separate dishes would mean I could only have one or two before I am full. So Thali's or buffets are the way to go for me.

(3 mains it Thali) (mains are average to very good)

Good tasty food. Nice clean decor and surroundings.

Located right across the Central Festival mall, it's really in the center of everything. My wife and I sometimes go there to get a dosa or daal and roti before going to movies or while shopping. They seems to understand the usual "no ghee, no paneer" formula (although communication with stuff could be challenging, not to say they're not friendly) and everything is quite tasty. Price range is not the lowest (but not the highest either) among the other Indian veg restaurants in Pattaya, variety of food is similar as well, no surprises there for better or worse.

It's my third favorite Indian place here. If you like Indian veg food, you'll probably end up trying it there at least once.
