And they deliver! I order from Hinlay at least 3 times a month and have never received a dish that was anything short of spectacular. The chicken tikka masala and butter chicken are superb. The mutton is SO tender (vindaloo anyone?) Will have to make a trip out to their actual location soon!

This was not really a restaurant as I had expected. In fact it was only five or six tables set up in front of somebody's house. The food was just OK. Nothing to write home about. Most of the curries are already cooked and the staff will heat up in microwave for you. The price was quite cheap, though the... More

If ever there was case of cooking for the love of it, the Hinlay Curry house is fine example. The location is small, intimate and very relaxed. The couple who run the restaurant are friendly and informative - having lived in the area for generations. Their range of curries goes from the hottest madras to the creamiest vegetable - or... More

Tucked away in a back street, this place is definitely worth seeking out, and has been serving the BEST Indian curry in Chiang Mai for years. Portions are generous and prices are low. Service friendly and efficient. Covered outdoor seating and off-road parking.

Somewhat off the tourist track but stll very central this restaurant is well worth finding. There is an extensive range of top quality curries and the service is excellent. We made several visits during our stay and it was consistently top class. The tables are located under a terrace or across a small drive on the edge of gardens. The... More

Having recently spent several weeks for work in Chiang Mai I have thoroughly enjoyed meals at Hinlay. The curries are delicious, the family service is friendly and efficient! I will be back!

I am amazed by the negative reviews for Hinlays - it is almost as though they were at a different restaurant! This place is a family run restaurant where they take great pride in the food. We had a simply delicious curry here, the mutton was so tender and the sauce a festival of different spices and depths. The beef... More

himlay curry house was easily the worst Indian food we've ever had. The meat was all very low quality and the curries were just oily and not creamy at all. Even the rice at himlay was somehow bad, and there was no naan. The location is not convenient whatsoever, and the map posted was misleading. Additionally, the bathroom was infested... More

Beautiful garden setting. Very nice food at a very affordable rate. I'm happy that the owner never gave in to good offers to sell his beautiful place. He just wants to maintain his little gem, practice yoga in his own garden and offer good food to his customers in the evenings. Well done!!! BTW They do deliveries as well.

Visited for the 2nd time in February, we booked and arrived after 8pm, was not as busy as last year, however I think that many diners had already left, as there were several things on menu sold out. (they cook everything fresh and you can call and request dishes) Service was great and was given umbrella to take with us... More
