A delicious Indian Restaurant near Patong

Sponsored Post

Experience award-winning signature dining with a 7-course tasting menu crafted by Iron Chef Thailand winner Saurabh Sachdeva. Each dish blends premium ingredients with open-flame artistry, weaving a narrative that takes you on a flavor-filled journey. Set in an elegant rooftop oasis inspired by the palatial tents of the Mughal Emperors, Tambu featured in the Michelin Guide 2025, ranked #6 among the Top 25 Restaurants in Phuket, and proudly holds the title of Asia’s Best New Restaurant (2024). It is also featured in Thailand’s Favorite Restaurant (2025), solidifying its reputation as a must-visit culinary destination.

The setting creates a unique, exotic atmosphere, overlooking the surrounding green hills and the Andaman Sea beyond. Tambu Phuket is a great place to enjoy sunset drinks and a romantic dinner in Phuket.

The team is fantastic, kind and attentive, explaining the setting, the cuisine, the menu and the dishes in a clear and short way, making you feel comfortable from the moment you enter the restaurant. As they walk you to your table, you can see the open kitchen where Iron Chef Saurabh Sachdeva is already in action, crafting intricated and beautifully presented dishes.

We browsed the many dishes on the menu, and as we worried Indian food could be quite rich and filling, the waiter reassured us that the cuisine was probably different from any Indian food we had previously experienced. We placed our order and then enjoyed some creative cocktails with a sunset view.

As the dishes arrived, we were truly surprised at how light and delicate each dish was! The taste and texture were superb, and the food was beautifully presented and briefly described. We don’t remember the names of all the dishes, but we probably had 8 courses, and while satisfied with our dinner, we did not feel overly full. We could even afford to enjoy dessert, an ice cream speciality skilfully prepared at our table.
