About

The Bikanervala Bangkok at Pratunam is the Bangkok outpost of the iconic Bikanervala chain, which has been serving North Indian vegetarian food, sweets, and snacks from New Delhi since 1950. With a stellar 4.9-star rating from over 370 reviews, this branch has successfully transplanted that authentic taste of India's beloved snack culture to the heart of Bangkok's Pratunam shopping district.

Bikanervala specializes in the kind of food that feels equally at home at breakfast, lunch, or as an afternoon snack: golden samosas, tangy chaats, creamy lassis, fragrant biryanis, and an extraordinary selection of traditional Indian sweets including barfi, ladoo, and halwa.

For families, the appeal is broad. Very young children tend to love the sweet, soft preparations like kheer and halwa. School-age kids often take to the crunchy, tangy chaat snacks and samosas. Teens who are open to culinary exploration will find the full-on North Indian snack menu genuinely exciting.

Being a pure vegetarian establishment also gives parents peace of mind about allergen concerns, and the dairy-rich menu means plenty of protein-rich, filling options for growing children.

Open from 9am to 1am daily, Bikanervala is extraordinarily flexible for families with varied schedules. Its Pratunam location puts it near the Platinum Fashion Mall and Pratunam market, making it easy to combine with a shopping trip or a visit to nearby Central World.
