INDIAN VEGETARIAN CUISINE
A narrow glass-fronted two-story shophouse at 246 Lý Tự Trọng: cashier counter on the right, a round backlit “atithi” logo, a long dining hall with a red upholstered banquette on the left and white tables with light wood-and-cane chairs on the right, round brass-framed mirrors, bamboo-cage pendants in two staggered rows under a wood-paneled ceiling, red woven placemats and folded red napkins, a white terrazzo floor, red brick pilasters, a wooden service counter at the rear and a staircase up.
The room
A long hall, warm and bustling
The hall runs long toward the rear: red banquette along the left wall, white tables and cane chairs on the right, brass-framed round mirrors on the walls, bamboo pendants in two staggered rows under the wood ceiling. At the back sit the wooden service counter, a drinks fridge and the staircase up — the upper floor has its own seating, visible through the upstairs windows.
246 Lý Tự Trọng, Bến Thành ward, District 1
The signature
A steel thali on the branded board
Food arrives in steel bowls (katoris) and steel naan baskets on wooden boards printed with the atithi logo — the steel thali of dal, rice, three baati, roti, gulab jamun, chaas, pickle and salad is the house's most familiar sight.
