Essential tips for Indian travelers

• Customizing the heat: Vietnamese people generally eat much less spicy food than you might be used to. Always remember to ask about the spice level when you order. You can ask for your meal to be made “Indian spicy” to get the heat level you love.
• Try the Thali sets: For a comprehensive and great value meal, we highly recommend sampling a Thali set, which is available at places like Ganesh and Baba’s Kitchen. It’s a wonderful way to taste a variety of different curries and side dishes all in one go.
• Takeaway and delivery: This is incredibly convenient! Many of the best restaurants, including Baba’s Kitchen and Ganesh, offer excellent takeaway and delivery services. This is perfect for families who are staying in a resort or a villa and want to enjoy a delicious Indian meal in the comfort of their own space.
• Signature beverages: No Indian meal is complete without the perfect drink! Don’t miss out on ordering a classic, refreshing Mango Lassi or a strong, aromatic Masala Chai to complete your dining experience.
