1Marina Indian Restaurant
At Marina, it is Indian in almost all directions; North, South, East and West coming together to add some more fragrance to Yangon’s diverse culinary scene. Start your way with Murg Malai Tikka, morsels of chicken laced with cream and cooked in a tandoor oven. Order prawn Jhinga Goan Curry as a main and pair it with freshly baked naan or parata.

3Bharat Indian Restaurant
This Lonely Planet-recommended restaurant has been around for quite some time. Don’t let its humble appearance put you off. Its chitti rice and curry are one of the best in town. It goes best with mutton. If you’re daring, try its mutton brain masala.

Walk into Indian Tadka and it’s a different gastronomic world altogether. If you are a connoisseur of fine-cooked comfort food and love to tease your taste buds, then Indian Tadka would probably be the one to take you on that journey.

Lighten up your mood with well-spiced kebabs, curries and samosas! The coconut rice and beef curry are quite a match! But if you think it’s too much, go for naan and prata.

The northern Indian-style grilling is a welcome addition to Yangon’s dining scene. It serves both buffet and a-la-carte – we recommend the former. Indulge yourself in well-spiced meat and seafood grilled in the clay oven (tandoor).
