Amritsr

Walking into Amritsr feels like stepping onto a bustling street corner in Punjab, yet right here in Bangkok the air is thick with fragrant spices and the sizzling chatter of hungry patrons. Mark Wiens’ entrance is met with a warm welcome from the staff, who guide him through a menu that promises authentic North Indian flavors. The aroma of freshly baked naan mingles with the tangy scent of pickled chilies, instantly transporting his senses to a different part of the world.

What sets Amritsr apart is its mastery of traditional dishes—especially the chicken achari tikka, where tender pieces are marinated in yogurt and a fiery blend of spices before being charred to perfection. The mutton specials arrive steaming, their rich gravy thick with garam masala and earthy undertones that make every bite unforgettable. With vibrant plating, attentive service, and an atmosphere that feels both lively and intimate, this spot is a must-try for anyone craving authentic Indian cuisine in the heart of Bangkok.
