24/7 Indian Nepali Chinese

Seaside Restaurant is open 24/7.  It serves some of our favorite Indian biryanis and shakes.  The other night, I enjoyed a refreshing avocado shake with vanilla ice cream and pistachio nuts.

I especially like the Nepali wait staff.  One of the male waiters saluted me like a ghurka :)  Even the chefs are Nepalis.

Urban Wok - Fave Fast Food in Abu Dhabi

Urban Wok is an Asian fast food place in Galleria Mall.  We often eat there after doctors' appointments at Cleveland Clinic.   Malaysia laksa has always been a favorite.  Crispy chicken with fried lemongrass strips and peanuts is also good.
