Since the border with Tachileik has been closed, this family-run establishment has seen business slow significantly and could use your support. I’ve eaten here every week for the past year and am always surprised and impressed by the variety of curries that may accompany a chapati. They also offer an aloo paratha with too many onions for my preference, but still great when something non-Thai in Mae Sai is desired. Inquire if their grating is open, and give them up to an hour to prepare. I find it works best to give them a container for take-out, go do something else, and come back at the time they specify to pick up since the dining area has been reconverted to living space during our current Covid predicament. There’s just the perfect level of spice for me (probably what an average authentic Indian restaurant would put between mild and medium), potatoes as a staple but also often eggplant, cauliflower, etc., varying every time.
I feel guilty about how much aluminum foil, little plastic bags, and my pile of rubber bands after dozens of visits :-|
We were looking for a nice Indian restaurant to have masala chai ( yeah, you can't take that away from an Indian haha) while at Mae Sai. We found this family -run hotel that serves Indian, Nepali and Myanmar cuisine. We had Puri sabzi, masala chai, thali, Aloo paratha during our stay at Mae Sai. They have limited items on the menu. But, the food is amazing. Their masala chai reminded me of India. One time, they even served us dinner after their operating hours. The prices are very, reasonable. I highly recommend going here for a nice Indian/Nepali/Myanmar food.

I go to YG nearly every day for a Veg Thali, Chipati and Masala tea. Just 80 baht. Tasty healthy and clean Nepalese food. Dahl Baht power twenty four hour! Even if you are not vegetarian I would recommend this place anyway.
If you take the bus from CNX to Mae Sai for a border run and don’t take too long inside Burma you can walk away from the border on the Thai side, left side of the street and turn left on Tessaban Soi 6, down about 30m and find this absolute gem. Delicious, hot and fresh, huge portions for less than 40-50b a dish. Family owned and run and super convenient for a border run, after eating head back to the main road and get a motorcycle taxi back to the bus station for 50b. They also have a small shop selling Indian and Nepali goods inside and on the street there is usually a cart selling fried snacks, many vegan. You can walk along the main road and turn in as I described or follow the map on Happy Cow which took me in back roads, still only 3-4 min from the border. Enjoy!
