Quick Notes:
The Indian restaurants in Chaweng Beach do not have very high ratings on Google Maps. The highest rating I saw was a 4.8 / 5 for Noori Indian which is located within the Central Samui Shopping Mall.
Very few of the Indian restaurants in Koh Samui have a website to view their menu. You can see pics of the menu on Google Maps.
