Roti De Forest

Morning to late night, the griddle never really cools here. Roti De Forest is Pattani’s go-to halal café for crisp-edged roti and strong milk tea in a leafy, open-air setting. Come early and you’ll catch the scent of butter and kaya hitting hot steel; stay late and it shifts to charcoal and spice from the grill. Sweet roti is the easy win — classic kaya, banana–chocolate, or a simple sugar and condensed milk that’s dangerously moreish. Regulars, though, come for the savory plates: daging bakar (grilled beef) with a smoky char, flaky roti murtabak, and roti torn into bite-size pieces to soak up green curry. Portions are generous and prices stay friendly, so it works for a quick breakfast, a student lunch, or a casual family dinner. You’ll find it in Pattani town (Rusamilae, Mueang Pattani District), open daily from 6:30am to 11pm. It’s halal, family-friendly, and relaxed — the kind of place where no one rushes your tea. If you’re coming with a group, call ahead; peak hours are breakfast and early evening when locals drop in after work.
