They have a curry with Ghost Peppers my friends! Tiny place guilded in history that has a great selection of Indian based curry's. There are better places that have a wider selection but the fact that the selection here is to it's advantage. It would be hard to find these dishes anywhere else. More

I randomly found this place and decided to try it. I was not disappointed! Amazing food that you can't seem to get elsewhere in the city. Service was slow, but that's not anything out of the ordinary in Thailand! Sat in the outside court yard as the main restaurant was full of regulars. If you can ignore the noise from... More

Maybe I caught them on a bad day . . . evidently I arrived close to closing time, although it was only 8:30 pm on a Saturday night. I was the only one dining. They brought everything to me at once, my first clue that they would probably appreciate it if I ate quickly and left. The food was entirely... More

I chose this based on reviews here on tripadvisor.com plus it was included in lonely planet. 7 of our friends who visited us at the hotel. they were natives of chiang mai, and they had never heard of this restaurant. however they helped...

Firstly don't go on a Sunday , its closed ! It's a little off the beaten track down a side road across the river , but well worth exploring the area after your curry as thee are good music bars . Hinlay is small , only a few tables under a veranda but you get great food and friendly service... More

A great place to go for curry. The food had great flavor. The service was quick and cheerful. The homemade ice creams were not that very good but the main course itself was delicious.Also, it is dirt cheap. A meal for two with beer and ice cream cost just 310 Bhat. Do remember, it is closed on Sundays. More

I enjoyed my meal here. It was a bit of a trek to get there. Some of the other reviews are right. It's not easy to find. I went when I found myself with a little extra time to myself. It's a nice outdoor space in a bit of courtyard. The people who work there do speak English. The food... More

It's not the best Indian curry house that I have been to, but it certainly is the best value. The food is good, and the prices are fantastic. Also, the burmese pork curry is worth a mention, very nice. More

The menu read very well and I wasn't disappointed at all with the flavours. My favourite curry in the world is Beef Rendang and Hinlay's version of it was alien to me in terms of it's appearance and viscosity but was still flavoursome so I forgave them. A couple of the Indian Veg dishes were spot on and a Lamb... More
