In Palermo, just a bit far from Plaza Serrano, where most of the neighborhood’s gastronomic offer is gathered, you’ll find the “ethnic corridor”. 10 blocks round Córdoba Avenue, between streets Scalabrini Ortiz and Juan B. Justo. Restaurants that provide Armenian, Arab, Kosher or Indian food, which are among some of the best places in town. The doors are opened for oriental food lovers.
The tour starts in 1101, Thames St. (on the corner with Jufré), where Sarkis is located. A neighborhood’s classic specialized in Arab and Armenian food. They keep the typical preparation method of the traditional dishes and serve plentiful portions. There’s a big noisy lounge that invites to feel like home and join the tables. Some great dishes are Hummus, Shish-Kebab and Keppe.
Further on, in 1366, Armenia St. (between Niceto Vega and Cabrera St.), is Armenia Restaurant, inside the Armenian Club and specialized in the food of that country. The best choice is traditional dishes like cabbage sarmá, bastermá with egg, michugov kefte, Caucasian aubergines and the amazing desserts (probably the best of its gastronomy).
On 5288, Córdoba Av. (on the corner with Godoy Cruz), you’ll find Asian, and Oriental and Kosher food restaurant. The dishes are more refined and a bit expensive, but they’re worth it. Some good selections are the duck rolls or the rib eye steak on pineapple and ginger syrup. For dessert: mango, crumble and coconut trilogy.
To end, on 1416, Humboldt St. (on the corner with Niceto Vega), is one of the best Indian food restaurants: Bangalore. You should ask for how spicy the dish is before ordering. The dishes are great, abundant and well seasoned. You might order the Jalfrezi tuna, the chapati barbecue with chopped tuna, peppers and onions, seasoned with coriander, cumin, citrus and chili. Bangalore is also a great place for having a drink at night.
