à propos de l'endroit: Khazaana

Inapproprié?

I have been visiting Khazaana regularly for the past 5 months.

I have never had a bad meal.. in fact, I always leave the restaurant in a state of utter bliss.
• The menu is huge. Includes both North and South Indian. It has been a real treat to try new dishes.
• Gobi is the man. I greatly appreciate his warmth and recommendations.
• At 110.000VND, I think the meat Thali (dinner) is filling, delicious, and well-balanced.
• The monthly buffets never disappoint
• Their cheese naan is sensational

As friends come and go, I sometimes can’t imagine life in Hanoi without Khazaana (haha).. fine, that was an exaggeration…

In response to a reviewer below..

The coffee is an Indian instant.. it says so on the menu. Admittedly, it’s a bit different to the usual stuff. But tasty none the less..

Enjoy!

I can vouch for the:

So tasty. It's worth checking out. I'll be back for sure.

Inapproprié?

I went to Matchbox yesterday for the pasta special.

I was overly impressed with everything.

*-I didn't get sick
**-homemade ravioli and gnochi(sp?) were excellent. Cooked to perfection. Best pasta I've had in Hanoi. My cafe sua exceeded my expectations.
***-The staff was friendly and the food preparation was reasonably quick.
****-very smart/modern looking place. Calming colors.
*****-I haven't decided about the other days, but their weekly specials are a great value.

I'll be back.

à propos de l'endroit: Uzbekistan Restaurant

envoyer un message privé

Inapproprié?

I haven't been to another Uzbek restaurant, so I had a hard time comparing it.

The place is down the road on the same side of the street as the australian embassy.

We were the only ones there as I could see. That being said, service was great.

Between us we had the spare ribs, a kind of meat/vegi platter, dumplings, bread, and a dish like chicken kiev.

All of it was tasty. It's hard to criticize anything because I'm not to sure how things are supposed to be.

The soup (although little meat) was very flavorful and a nice change to pho. The thick bread made a nice combination.

I think it's worth checking out.

• A friend and I are considering participating in the Singapore Marathon in early December. Anyone out there want to join in?

  Currently we have been running about twice a week for about 45min near West Lake. The guy I run with (Cedric), has finished one before, seems to think 3 months is ample time to prepare.

  If it doesn't happen.. fine. Still good to get a bit of exercise and meet some people with common interests.

  OK, have fun getting through the day and see you out there. -A

  Hello,

  Good to hear there is some interest. Turns out, I have not found a nice trail yet. Someone at the bookworm said they had some info, but I have yet to make it there.

  Tyke, I am totally up for doing something this weekend. If you want to meet up to talk about it my number is 01685159752.

  Ok, I'm excited. Talk to you then.
