Spicy Asian Kitchen review: our verdict
Red lanterns, a dark wood façade, and potted bamboo signal Spicy's vibrant character right from the sidewalk on Mohammed el Beqal street in Guéliz. Inside, an air-conditioned dining room features dark green walls, fabric lanterns, and a view into the kitchen. The menu covers the breadth of the continent, offering pad thai, green or massaman curries, peking duck soup, steamed ravioli, spring rolls, and sushi.
Dishes arrive generously, and the bill remains reasonable including drinks: beers and wines cost less than in the city center. It is a perfect spot for a dinner with friends or family looking to switch things up, especially with its lovely terrace on sunny days. It is not a destination for fine dining: the cuisine aims for comfort rather than refinement, and the beef dishes do not win everyone over.
The dish to order is the pad thai, with shrimp or chicken, the most popular choice. The trap: arriving between 3 p.m. and 7 p.m., as the kitchen closes in the afternoon.
