Asia Kitchen, Ahmedabad

Asia Kitchen - Holiday Inn Express,
Old Vadaj Circle,
Usmanpura,
Ashram Road,
Ahmedabad

We had heard a lot of good stuff about Asia Kitchen and wanted to try it out, rather than the regular Oriental place at St Laurn. The Asia Kitchen also functions as a Coffee shop for the Holiday Inn, so its open from 10.30am to 11pm.

When we walked into the restaurant, we fell in love with the gorgeous mural which occupies a wall and a half. Surprisingly the place was quite empty, which made us wonder how good the food actually was, however once we were done with our food we realised that the lack of crowd was not a reflection on their food quality or taste.

The menu has an Indian section and an Oriental section. They also have a small pasta section. We chose to order from the Oriental section on the day that we visited.

The chicken salt and pepper (345/-) was good, as was the fish starter (375/-) that we ordered. Husband had a hot and sour chicken soup (185/-)and loved it too. I had the Mongolian chicken (385/-) and he ordered the exotic vegetables in hot garlic sauce (315/-) for our main course.

The food was really good. The only reason we haven't gone back yet is that it is at the other end of town from where we stay. But if we are ever in that area, this will be our first choice. Its an ideal place to stop for a full meal, before or after a performance at Natarani.
