In Buenos Aires, sometimes I have a longing for "foreign" food. Where do I go?
For SE Asian food, I go a lot to Empire Bar and they have some fried ice cream dessert that I just love but the food is not as spicy as I like it. It's run by, I believe, an Australian expat who is generally there and a rather friendly fellow.
For sushi and Japanese, there is nothing that I truly love, but Nihon Bashi is certainly very popular for good reason and has good shabu-shabu. Yuki and also Ichi Sou are also decent and quite a value compared to Nihon Bashi.
For a flavor of c. Middle Eastern and North African, there are a few good Armenian places and one good Moroccan place called Berber -- I think they spell it Bereber maybe and it is located in Palermo -- with a rooftop terrace that should be good at this time of the year.
For Indian food, there is Kathmandu or something like that -- with an elephant on the sign. I was not a big fan of the food but would go back if longing for Indian food. Alternatively, there is the restaurant Mumbai (Bombay sounds better to me) -- which has the same owners, I believe, as Kathmandu (spelled Katmandu or something like that).
