So just wanted to give another quick report on AS as a plat; this time on a 8hr layover. Arrived around 12:15am, dining area had around 20 other pax max. Food and service was fair (they had a really good kofta starter and the paneer was pretty good but the naan served with the paneer was essentially heated up matzoh and the bread was stale, but I must say the umm ali Arabic dessert was absolutely divine and I recommend everyone to try it; I even had them save me one for breakfast ). They saved me a sleeping room immediately upon entry to the lounge even though I didn’t use it for another hour. Now, here in the morning, dining area is significantly more crowded with I’d say around 50 or so other pax, some of whose behavior doesn’t really fit the decorum that one should practice here (people yelling and this a**hole using his phone as a personal boombox forcing all of us to listen to his stupid YouTube or whatever videos) I’m sitting at the bar, which is empty, but it may be hard for people to get a table and not sit next to someone else lol. Either way, a billion times better than AM and inshallah they’ll keep letting us plats in J keep having access!!
