Travelers passing through Tan Son Nhat International Airport can now embark on a culinary journey to India — right at the airport gates. Prepared by an experienced Indian chef and certified with global Halal standards, each dish captures the essence of Indian gastronomy: rich, aromatic, and deeply authentic. This new initiative by SASCO reflects its vision to bring travelers a diverse, seamless, and world-class dining experience throughout their journey.

Halal Certified, Crafted with Care

As Vietnam’s busiest airport welcomes an increasing number of guests from South Asia, the Middle East, Malaysia, and Indonesia, Halal cuisine has become an essential part of creating an inclusive, welcoming space for all.

At The Phoenix Restaurant and Fresh2Go convenience stores, the Indian menu stands out for its meticulously sourced ingredients, authentic preparation, and strict adherence to global Halal standards. Every detail — from cooking and storage to service — follows the same care and integrity expected of world-class Halal establishments.

At Fresh2Go, Terminal 2, passengers can savor comforting rice-based dishes, from signature curries and flavorful grilled delights to wholesome vegetarian creations. Each plate is thoughtfully tailored — preserving authentic Indian flavors while remaining approachable to every traveler’s taste.

“Halal standards embody respect for all cultures. For Vietnamese travelers, Halal also means international quality and complete peace of mind,” shared a SASCO representative.

Authenticity with a Global Touch

At the heart of this culinary offering is Chef Mohamed Saliem, a native of India with years of experience leading Halal and Indian restaurants across the Middle East and Southeast Asia. Known for blending tradition with innovation, Chef Saliem captures the soul of Indian cuisine — vibrant, diverse, and full of emotion — while adapting flavors to suit international palates.

Indian cuisine at the airport isn’t only for travelers from abroad; it’s also captivating Vietnamese diners, especially the younger generation eager to explore new, global tastes. “Indian cuisine is a canvas of colors and aromas,” said Chef Mohamed Saliem. “My goal is to bring that vibrancy to diners in Vietnam — keeping every dish authentic, yet refined enough for everyone to enjoy.”

A Cultural Bridge at Vietnam’s Gateway to the World

Through its “Pioneering the Journey” vision, SASCO continues to elevate airport dining, curating experiences that blend culture, comfort, and creativity. The arrival of authentic, Halal-certified Indian cuisine is more than just a new menu — it’s a culinary bridge connecting travelers and cultures, offering a taste of diversity and hospitality at one of Vietnam’s most dynamic international gateways.
