Breads Menu — Bangkok
Bread is what makes Indian food work — you scoop the gravy, you do not eat it with cutlery. Tandoor breads (naan, kulcha) are slapped onto the inside wall of a 480°C clay oven; tawa breads (roti, paratha) are griddle-cooked. Below are 21 breads, all rolled to order.

Notes from the kitchen — Breads
A note on our breads. Naan, kulcha and tandoori bread are slap-cooked on the inside wall of our charcoal tandoor at around 480°C — they take 90 seconds to cook. Roti, chapati and paratha are griddle-cooked on a hot tawa. Either way, every piece is rolled and cooked when you order; nothing is held in a warmer. The rotis and parathas are kneaded from Hukumchand or Aashirvaad chakki atta. Plain butter naan and garlic naan are the most ordered — but the kulcha (stuffed with potato or onion) is what regulars come back for.
Bread wants a gravy beside it — butter chicken is the classic partner for a butter naan, and the full menu has the rest of them.
Frequently Asked Questions about Breads
Which Indian breads do you bake?
Four rotis (฿25–40), eight parathas (฿40–120), five naans (฿45–120) and four kulchas (฿110–120) — 21 breads in all. The rotis and the plain and laccha parathas are the everyday scooping breads; the naans run from plain and butter through garlic to the two stuffed ones; the stuffed parathas and kulchas (aloo, gobhi, onion, paneer, cheese) eat as a light meal on their own.
How many breads should we order?
Two pieces a head alongside a shared curry is the standard order, and they come out in waves so the last one is as hot as the first. A stuffed kulcha or paratha (฿110–120) is heavier — one of those with a bowl of curd is a meal on its own. Bread and rice are not an either/or here; most tables take both.
Are the breads vegetarian?
Yes, all of them — the doughs are flour, water, yogurt or milk depending on the bread. Butter naan and the stuffed parathas use dairy; if you are avoiding ghee or butter, plain tandoori roti is the one to order, and the kitchen can skip the butter brush on request.
Which bread should I order with which dish?
Butter or garlic naan with the rich gravies (butter chicken, paneer butter masala); lighter tandoori roti with dal and home-style sabzis; stuffed kulcha or paratha as a meal in itself with curd and pickle. For delivery we slightly underbake so the bread finishes warm in transit.
