AsianpalmShibuyahoncho

A popular watering hole among locals. They serve a wide variety of Asian foods including Thai food. I was craving for stir fried minced chicken with basil (ガパオライス）and ordered one. It was good but a bit salty. They offer delivery through UBER.

Just for fun, try the following: using the TripAdvisor on your smartphone ask for restaurants around Kagurazaka, Shibuya. Within 100 metres more than 50 restaurants are listed! You'll be overwhelmed with choices. We choose the Asian Palm restaurant because it looks beautiful. From the outside it lo...oks too good for this neighbourhood. And inside it looks so good that I felt a bit underdressed in my t-shirt with cartoon print. This restaurant is just gorgeous, warm and welcoming. The staff is dressed pretty well and the service is equally great. Asian Palm offers both Thai and Indian food. The number of vegetarian options is very limited, for example there are simply no starters without any meat of fish in it. Rather odd for an Indian restaurant! Since there was no biryani on the menu, I choose the dhal curry (lintels) with naan. The naan was huge and the curry spicy, tasty and done right. My friend choose a Thai dish: a soup of eggplant and coconut which was absolutely delicious. Even the white rice on the side was of above average quality. However, while the food is good it doesn't match the looks of the restaurant. With a restaurant looking this good, I expected even more. In fact, I personally prefer the richer flavours and wider selection of "Dipmahal", which is located 100 metres (200 metres) away in exactly the same street. However, compared to Asian Palm it's rival has the atmosphere of a soup kitchen. In conclusion: the Asian Palm offer good food, while looking even better.
