RESTORAN SYED ALI
Read moreSyed Ali concocts all the Indian classics with talent for super-sweet prices. His specialty is byriani, a rice dish stewed with spices and served with chicken, mutton, beef or fish. A well-stocked buffet offers a wide variety of dishes served continuously. You can also opt for the thali plate served with roti (bread cakes), dal (lentils), sambal (sweet and sour sauce) and chilli. This address is also ideal for vegetarians, as not all dishes feature meat.
CALYPSO CAFE
Read moreThis café is a welcome change from the usual bouis-bouis with their round tables and plastic chairs. Here, the walls are decorated with old framed photos, shelves full of books and a large coat of arms with an octopus on it. The tables are all covered with tablecloths, and the neon lights have been replaced by lamps covered in shades. The menu mixes international and local dishes such as nasi goreng, served with fried chicken and a horse egg, or spaghetti covered in a spicy tomato sauce. Bonus: a funky background soundtrack.
