Chalawan Asian Eatery Reviews
Great food. Good prices and great service.
Grabbed a late dinner here. It was empty but smelled amazing so took a chance. The street noodles and chili beef were A+. Started eating before the photo but will come back for sure.
We ate here on a Wednesday and it was very quiet. Too quiet in our view as the food and service was outstanding. We have two youngsters in the age of 14-16 years and they loved it and so did we. We would advise everyone to come here at least one night to taste the outstanding combination of Thai, Malay and Indonesian food!
Chalawan Asian Eatery offers a diverse menu featuring Thai, Malay, and Indonesian dishes, with a special vegetarian menu that includes delicious options. The scallop appetizer, snapper, and beef cheek rendang are highlights, while the pork belly was a bit dry but paired with a flavorful sauce that many enjoyed. The restaurant provides an excellent experience with personalized touches like dimmed lighting and candles at night, creating a cozy atmosphere. The rice is served in generous portions, perfect for pairing with various curries and sauces, including a tangy and sweet shrimp "salad" dish. The broccolini was tasty, though simpler, and the soft shell crab was surprisingly delicious, especially with plenty of sauce. The lunch special includes a rich soup, tea, and South Asian street food. The staff is friendly and attentive, making the dining experience even more enjoyable. An underrated gem in the Harvard-Porter area worth visiting for a flavorful Asian meal.
