Jai Palace - Bangkok

We visited this restaurant as often as eating always comes in a large part. samosa is my favorite, because I don't eat isolated and in the evening three samosas only cost 20 baht.

I went to this restaurant for lunch on a weekday and I was the only person there. They now have a separate menu with options for meat and eggs, so the place is not completely vegetarian anymore. The menu does not specify which dishes are vegan, so be sure to ask. They made my black Dal without the usual cream and butter, but it wasn't very good for vegans as they then offered me naan that had butter in it. If you are vegan, I suggest ordering the Roti instead, although I found it to be too dry and it broke easily when I tried to eat it with my food. The Dal itself was delicious, with strong flavors of star anise and fresh ginger among other spices. The prices are not budget-friendly, with most main dishes starting at 150 baht and up, not including naan or roti (approximately 15-25 baht each) or rice (60 baht). There were no visible signs for Samosas or pakoras like a previous reviewer mentioned, and it was located on a smaller road which made it difficult for my taxi driver to find. Right next door, there is a small unnamed stall selling delicious vegetarian samosas and other deep-fried snacks.

We frequent this restaurant often because the portions are always generous. My favorite dish is the samosa, especially because I enjoy sharing it with others, and in the evening three samosas only cost 20 baht.

I really enjoyed the masala papad at this restaurant. However, I was disappointed that the chickpeas in my channa masala were slightly undercooked. The staff were lovely and it had a cozy, authentic atmosphere typical of a small Indian restaurant.
