Asal

Ghar se door, ghar ka khana!!!

Last week I stumbled upon a small ‘dhaba’ like place called ‘Asal’ in Madhapur which claims to serve authentic home food. Although many restaurants today employ this strategy to differentiate themselves from the competition, this time around, I was pleasantly surprised by the quality and taste of the food. Basically Asal is a mess like eat out which offers north Indian thalis. They don’t have A La carte and the place is usually crowded at night. The meal usually comprises of soft wheat rotis, 2 sabjis, 2 dals, pulav, raitha, papad and a desert. The meal is priced at Rs.60.00 per Thali. On weekends however, they have a special menu with usually a Paneer dish and a few other items that you wont find on the weekdays such as kheer or Aloo paratha and hence the thali is slightly more expensive (Rs.75.00) on these days. The ambience is really nothing to write home about. The target audience is the young IT crowd living in and around Hitec city. The food is cooked right in front of our eyes and is tasty, clean and hygienically prepared. One noteworthy point is that they offer wheat rotis unlike the maida rotis that most restaurants today serve. So, if you are one of those millions of IT/ITES professionals who has come away from home to make a living and are craving for something that tastes and feels like home food, Asal may offer the solace you are looking for.
