I was surprised about finding an Indian restaurant so well established in Laos, but there are two of them, the other in Vientiane. They go by the same name and are owned by the same family. When asking other travelers in Asia about Laos before I got there, this was one of the things mentioned time and again. They have a very extensive menu that provides a nice break from the usual fare. It is, however, more expensive than noodles or rice or soup would be, somewhere from $3-6 for a meal, but this includes bread and a yogurt sauce and an entree like chicken curry. They also have yogurt drinks. They serve ice water from a pitcher at the table, and it was after I had taken a few drinks that I caught myself and questioned the safety of drinking it. But nothing happened and I ate there several times. Most people will know where it is, and neither Luang Prabang or Vientiane are large enough for it to stay hidden for very long. If you visit either of these towns, GO THERE!
