Yusup

Lonely Planet review

The Thai-language sign in front of this restaurant boldly says Raachaa (King of Biryani) and Yusup backs it up with flawless biryani (try the unusual but delicious khâo mòk plaa , fish biryani), not to mention mouth-puckeringly sour oxtail soup and decadent kaeng mátsàmàn . For dessert try roti wǎan , a paratha-like crispy pancake topped with sweetened condensed milk and sugar - a dish that will send most carb-paranoid Westerners running away screaming.

To find Yusup, get in a taxi heading north from Mor Chit BTS station and tell the driver to take you to Th Kaset-Navamin (also locally known as the sên tàt mài ). Turn right at the Kaset intersection and continue about 1km past the first stop light; Yusup is on the left-hand side (look for the giant wind socks advertising the restaurant).
