It's different !Asian Cuisine Cafe
It is called a cafe, but does not serve the usual 'cafe-esque' items, i.e. teas, coffees, pastries, croissants. The idea behind this pan Asian restaurant is to give its customers a simple, casual ambience with good Asian and Italian(pastas) food.
Ambience : No 'red' lanterns, dragons and typical 'Chinese' red-light area feel(excuse me!). Warm, yet bright lights so the food can be seen and enjoyed.There's level 1 which has an 'open kitchen', allowing customers to watch their food being cooked;soak in the flavours and have conversation with the chef. It's meant for take-outs.
Level 2 is the sit down area with wooden furniture and walls adorning black & white posters displaying several expressions.
Food : Moderately priced, eg. Momos(8per serving)=Rs.60. The Thai curries, Nasi Goreng and Satays are good.
Service : Friendly staff. Chef Rahul and Jennifer welcome you and offer help in deciding what to eat based on your 'pangs' and urges. They even educate you on some of the contents of the dishes in case they sound unfamiliar.
Music : Popular tracks which is great (no instrumental, cling-clang or elevator stuff)
Note: No liquor or pork served. Air conditioning is a work-in-progress(they are only a week old)
