I've been regularly visiting Roti King for the last two years, but when they introduced thali lunch sets on the menu, I began visiting once a week. That has continued over the last six months, and sometimes I find myself going multiple times in one week. It's irresistible!Let's start with a look at the thali lunch set menu...Three of the dishes change daily, but you choose a base curry (vegetable, chicken, lamb, or fish), what you want to drink, and whether you want paratha or rice. Always choos

It's made-to-order and made exceedingly well. You won't find any better in Hong Kong. They could easily charge extra for it since there is significant additional prep involved, but they don't, so choosing paratha is also a great bargain.

Standard soft drinks are included in the price of the thali, but I always upgrade ($5) to a mango lassi...

I'm going to go on record and say that I'm always disappointed in a lassi if it is served with ice, and I'm sad to say that most of Hong Kong's Indian restaurants serve it this way.
 Ice dilutes the flavor and texture of lassi, and I consider it to be a below-the-belt cost-cutting technique. The good folks at Roti King, however, don't make this mistake. Their lassi is pure - ice-free! - and the flavor is very well balanced between the yogurt and mango.


Now, finally, let's peek at two example lunch sets...

There's no description I can write that will do these justice. Portions are generous (I have to loosen my belt when I leave), everything is fresh, and each dish is it's own masterpiece. Despite me paying for it, I feel like they are giving me a wonderful gift every time I eat there, and I always walk out thinking that I should be paying more for what I received. 

Let me also mention that the people who operate Roti King are absolutely lovely. They are very attentive, pay close attention to my special requests (I have them take off the mayonnaise salad dressing, for example), remember my preferences(!), and I enjoy coming to see them just as much as I enjoy eating their magnificent food.

Roti King is an essential part of Tai Kok Tsui's diverse restaurant landscape and I'm certain you won't be disappointed if you choose to try it. (Just make sure you try a thali lunch set at least once!)
