Chana Masala indian restaurant

Mornings in Hin Kong start slow, and Chana Masala leans into that rhythm. Follow the scent of toasted cumin and masala chai to a friendly, plant‑filled space just next to the 7‑Eleven on the main road. Low tables and colorful floor cushions share the room with regular seating, so you can sprawl with a book or settle in properly for a long lunch. The kitchen cooks a strictly vegetarian Indian menu with care — the namesake chana masala is a comfort‑bowl classic, and regulars swear by the warm chapati with a side of tangy pickles. If you’re off the booze, their house kombucha and proper masala chai are the move. Portions are generous, prices are fair for the island, and service is warm without fuss. Come by after the beach for an early dinner (they’re open daily from 8:00am to 10:30pm) and you’ll catch the sunset crowd drifting in from Hin Kong Bay. It’s an easy, dependable spot when you want real-deal vegetarian Indian on Koh Phangan — casual enough for sandy feet, tasty enough to plan a return.
