The Asian Curry House — Restaurant in Bengaluru

On New Year's day, we decided to have Chinese. We were curious about this place, so got there just in time at around 1. The place was already chock-a-block. We luckily found a corner table to ourselves :)

We started with Sweet Corn soup with vegetables. A tad bland for my liking, but the veggies were perfectly cooked. They had the right amount of crunchiness.We followed up with Shrooms & Sprinkled Corn for starters. The former had about 7 pieces in a crunchy outer layer placed in a thick peanut base. it was oh-so-yum. The corn nibbles were different from the ones you find in most places. They were prepared with red peppers, lemongrass and a touch of spice. The plum sauce was a perfect accompaniment.

For mains, we ordered Mixed dimsums and Bao with stir fried vegetables. The dimsums were of the perfect texture. Mom was amazed by the finesse with which the vegetables were chopped. There were 3 different kinds of fillings and moderately spiced. The one with Schezwan sauce was a little more spicy. With the peanut based sauce (moderately spicy) & tomato spicy sauce, there was an explosion of flavor & textures in our mouth. The Bao was yum. it could have been a wee bit softer, but I know that I am being a tad picky. The crispy veg stuffing was the winner. Tasting Bao for the first time, mom thanked me for ordering them.

We were unsure if we wanted to have desserts. But why not start the year on a sweet note? After a lot of deliberation, we decided upon the Asian Ice cream with 3 very different flavours - Ginger, Avocado & Coconut. All were good & the 1st 2 were lapped up by my parents.

The decor has significance if the food is good. it is distinctly oriental & pleasing to the eyes. I must mention our Maitre'D Sangei. He was so courteous. He knew about every dish & sauce. When mom wanted to keep chopsticks as souvenir, he brought 3 new ones for us to take home. At Asian Curry House, our year has begun on a great note. I hope this year will be as good as the meal ;) This place will is great not just for a lunch while you're at the mall, but also suited for special occasions. You will be lucky to find a table here, considering that people outside can't seem to take their eyes off you while you're...

Update: Visited today after a movie for lunch - had the mix bao (3 different bao) and the dim sum platter. The latter was much better, can skip the bao since it seemed a bit too thick and heavy. For two people, this was heavy, so we skipped main course and went to dessert. However, the dessert menu seems to be less interesting than before. We had 3 different scoops of ice cream - it was 3 usual flavors, was good but i remember the dessert spread being quite unique and memorable, not so anymore.

Food is still good, service friendly and quick. In two visits, haven't had a chance to eat main course - that's next! Extremely tasty food, not the run of the mill Desi Chinese stuff(which i love btw), truly pan Asian and that too veg only (not that it matters to me but I know it does to some). Had the Burmese Khow Suey soup, it's so tasty, goodness of coconut milk, be warned of the portions size, 1/2 looked like 1! Salted peanuts, fried rice grains, onion and garlic fried shavings, spring onions, lemon served on the side made the soup all the better. had two starters, stir fried cauliflower and broccoli in Shanghai sauce is almost Gobi Manchurian, but better. Nicer balance of sweet, sour and spicy. In hindsight, I may have skipped this for something more exotic. We had assorted dimsums, was really good, water chestnuts, mushrooms, veggies. We had a second starter after realizing there's no way two people could finish the main course. Their portions are large. We skipped main course after two starters and went for a desert. Ordered Asian flavored ice cream, basically three scoops of any ice cream you like. Black seasame, Ginger and Chilly/Sapota - each was exceptional, black seasame was my favorite because it was the first time I had it and loved it. Service is very friendly and fast. There is a 6% service charge but it's totally worth it, in fact, I left a tip on top of it because I was so impressed with the food mainly, and the service too. Will definitely...

This neat little restaurant is located on the 3rd floor in Mantri Mall. I happened to visit this place on a weekday, and we could get a table without a fuss. They serve food that originates from Various parts of East Asia. The Menu is short, but every single dish here had a powerful impact.

Food: The flavours and textures of every ingredient used was of top quality. Food was well prepared and presented. The portions were a little over adequate. Must try- Wai Wai Soup

Ambiance: When you pay good money for Art and Design, it shows. This place has a warm comforting vibe to it, and there are enough greens to take away the "indoor-ness" of a Mall.

Service: The wait staff seemed well trained and motivated to serve you right and to serve you better. The coordination was perfect and the dishes came one after the other. We did run into a slight issue where they gave rice in place of noodles, but the handled it like a pro! They also have good knowledge of the dishes and are capable of recommending you what to and what not to get.

Price: It coated just over ₹1100 for two people, which included Soup, an Entree and Main Course. We skipped desserts, but it would have come up to another ₹300-₹400 if we would have opted.

• Now, for those of you who would be typically thinking about Asian food - THIS IS A VEG ONLY PLACE * However, don't let that stop you from going ahead and trying the amazing and delicious food that these guys have to offer. I'd definitely go back again to eat as much off their menu...
