The last restaurant on our list might not serve up Thai food but is delicious all the same. You may have tried a roti off the side from any number of sois (streets), but no one can make up a roti like Roti Mataba can. The small restaurant, if you will, was created by Abdul Kareem. He moved to Bangkok, Thailand from southern India. He started Roti Mataba back in 1943. Unlike many of the street vendors who stuff their rotis with bananas and other sweets, Roti Mataba fills its signature rotis with Thai and Indian curries. Roti Mataba’s food is laid out buffet-style, so feel free to simply point at what it is you want.
