Little India - near Soi Diana.

[JayMoon101 112]

Ate at Little India – opposite Papagayo – in the shopping mall near Soi Diana.

Food was reasonable and service good, but had the most terrible diarrhoea the next morning and it spoilt two days of my holiday. I cannot prove I got it at this restaurant, but it seems likely, as it was the only meal I had the previous day apart from breakfast and bottled water and a couple of beers to drink that evening.

Given the thousands of restaurants in Pattaya and the dozens of Indian restaurants it is probably not worth the risk of eating at this one

Well that's a surprise. I had about half a dozen meals there in August and thought it was brilliant.

 

Sorry you got crook.

[Bushcraft 2,579]

I love the food at that place and will keep going there, though hoping that your problem was a one-off.

[capdagde 1,954]

Food I had there at Little India twice this last trip was FAB!

 

I don't think your IMPERATIVE - "AVOID!" in the title is in equal measure to your CAVEAT - "I cannot prove I got it at this restaurant, but it seems likely" lost in the text.

 

Could have been bad draft beer or sour ingested p***y juice that turned your tandoori into dhal ?

 

Give it another go.... and let us know!!!

I have to agree. How can one isolate one restaurant as the source unless one only consumes all food and drink in that establishment?

 

I got so sick in Thailand I required hospitalization but I'll be damned if I could pinpoint where I contracted the food/waterborne illness.

Mod note - I've edited the title to remove the avoid.

Quite a lot of BMs have used this restaurant with no problems and have been repeat customers.

There are several causes of Diarrhoea and it isn't always food that is to blame.

I ate their once......will do again.

[jacko 8,813]

Depends on severity.....runny shits are a factor of eating spicy food, but for it to create a problem for 2 days seems to be a little more. If it was accompanied by cramps, sickness etc that would be more of a matter. People saying 'well I ate there and was okay' is also not always valid.. if you did not have the exact same meal at the exact same time! I was very sick from an Indian meal I had in the UK (IOM actually), laying me up for 3 days. The mate who ate next to me didn't have the slightest problem. I had the lamb, he didn't, he could eat fried turds and be healthy, I seem more sensitive! After all, curry is just a way of making rancid meats and rodents palatable.

[teelack 9,627]

Last two times in Pattaya I have had an upset stomach but it didnt really impact on the holiday. I am always conscious that when I am in Pattaya I have all sorts of strange things in my mouth and therefore never try to point the blame in any one area.

 

As an instance of the above I take the odd dose of Kamagara and I like eating pussy. I used to blame the food but I realise that I am my own worst enemy and also get kissy kissy with the odd gogo dancer. There are simply too many possible causes for me to ever pin down the real culprit. I am also a draft beer drinker and some of that stuff can be dire.

 

I also like to have English breakfast on a regular basis and have often wondered about the way that the eggs are stored and the contents of that breakfast sausage. I have also asked on the odd occasion to use the toilets and when you get out the back and have a look at some of the kitchens you wonder how anyone gets out alive!

 

I know people that will not visit Asia because they think that the food is crap and dangerous but if I ever get to that stage I may as well sign into an old folks home.

Good points!

[aussiechic 209]

I know we ate from there a few times in March as some one was to lazy(drunk) to get up from the Cherry bar to get food. I only have one photo which means I was to drunk to take photos.

 

 

Don't eat the green stuff that will clean you out.

[atlas2 4,329]

Yummm Chicken!!

 

In South Africa that's classed as a vegetable.

 

 

In the name of research atlas2 shall boldly go where perhaps someone has been before.........I need to lose a bit of weight.

 

I shall report the consistency of my excretions tomorrow....and whether any wall/knee banging was involved.

[Fatboyfat 361]

Yeah I don't like these hatchet jobs on the basis of one person with one meal. The restaurant businesses, which are one of the hardest lines to suceed in, can be severely affected by these sort of gripes. Not such a problem on this type of "Pattayaly Wise" forum, but a nightmare on things such as Tripadvisor. Mass incidences are fair game though. Last year, a friend that we were dining with, ended up with some kind of food poisoning, almost certainly caused by oysters, from one of the most prestigous restaurants in Pattaya (begins with a B ). Neither he, nor I, would even consider putting that sort of post down on the basis of that one off experience. I believe he did notify the restaurant in question, but don't know the outcome. (My other half also had the same oysters and was unaffected, so it was quite likely a lone rogue mollusc).

I've only eaten once at Little India, but found it OK and a a lot better than most Ruby houses in Pattaya. I actually like "the green stuff" with kebabs too! : Mint raita I believe.

[InternationalTraveler 282]

Probably been more than a year since the last time I tried the Little India...the food was good and I came out stuffed ....sure they used to do specials at 200 and something baht for chicken tikka masala, rice and nan bread.

Always found that there were more mosquitoes inside the air con restaurant than outside.

Never had a problem with an Indian restaurant in Thailand.

The same food is around a third of the price of the same meal at Ali Baba on Central Road less the costume the music and the ambiance.

I have had food poisoning half a dozen times in Thailand, 2-times the same food at the same place...then I can name and shame.

You know that eating at a restaurant then having the scours might not be related to contaminated food (usually E.coli, sometimes Salmonella) but can be due to all sorts of reactions to things and I think people are far too quick to accuse an establishment of "food poisoning" when a sensitive gut might be the culprit.

 

It can also be acquired elsewhere and manifest later or the next day.

[atlas2 4,329]

Well because I've been up since 6am and gone without breakfast just left my Central shopping in the car and went to little India.... Had a very nice tikka and pilaw rice.

Excellent..... Haven't paid yet so tell you the price later....

Must be a great place to watch Hammer and Bushcraft at it and the girls from Papagoyo at night.

I ate up all my greens.... So will await developments.....

Won't eat anywhere else today and let you know if anything develops .

[Bushcraft 2,579]

My dear friend Lieutenant Khyber

Was sorely afflicted with gas

A native fed him a laxative herb

And now you should see Khyber pass!

Hi,

 

I've never had any problems with the food in LOS.I'd say the freshly cooked chicken skewers are as safe as you can get. I eat lots of Indian and Thai food when I'm in Farangland so I'd say my body is used to the food. Maybe some just eat the food when in LOS and they are not used to it ???

[teelack 9,627]

Just another add on to my comments about what could be the culprit. For years I would religiously keep a bottle of water in the bathroom for washing my toothbrush. I now just wash it under the tap so I guess any greeblies in the water could come, in my case, from there. I stopped guessing where the ice I get in drinks came from ages ago as well.

This I think is the benchmark.....

The green stuff is great Sue! Best to add some yogurt to it and dip in your chicken..... got my mouth watering here in the food wasteland that is France.... I kid you not.

 

You drunk? Shurely shome mishtake!

 

Seriously though - two nights ago Flo and I made Kofta kebabs with some left over (only from the night before) leg of lamb, putting it in the blender with 7 spices then baking = squits next morning. Maybe we hadn't cooked the spice thoroughly enough - a myriad of possible reasons for the squits.... if it helps lose a couple of kilos I'm all for them!

Hi,

Are you talking about those Thai chicken skewers?

 

Those ones that are sat in a tray of their own tepid juices, that have been left out on a fairly warm/hot tray so they have been part-cooking in their own juices? The same ones that have flies and god only knows what else on them for the best part of 8-10 hours? The ones that have had all sorts of weird and unhygienic people touching them and then putting them back down because they now don't want them?

 

Good luck with that, i think you might need it!

20 hours after eating at Little India your intrepid gastronome is happy to report no unusual activity coming from his southern flank.

Glad to hear it. Likely I will risk my health at the Fishermans Cafe tonight by the lake. No issues after 4-5 visits so far.
