The number of Indian travelers visiting Vietnam is rising at an impressive pace, making India one of the most promising international markets for Vietnamese tourism. Along with this trend, the demand for authentic Indian cuisine at Tan Son Nhat Airport has also surged — not only from Indian visitors but also from global travelers and young food enthusiasts eager to explore the vibrant “Bollywood” flavors.

A Taste of India at the Heart of the Airport

Renowned worldwide for its rich diversity, Indian cuisine now takes center stage at Tan Son Nhat—Vietnam’s busiest aviation gateway. At The Phoenix and Fresh2Go restaurants, diners can savor an extensive Indian menu crafted by experienced Indian chefs, from Halal-certified ingredient selection to traditional cooking and presentation.

Signature dishes such as Tandoori Chicken Rice, Percik Chicken Rice, and a range of flavorful curries—from aromatic sea bass curry to light vegetable curry—bring the essence of India to every plate.

Chef M. Mohamed Saliem Shares His Passion

“Indian food is part of my family heritage. I grew up with hearty meals of curry, mutton, and traditional vegetarian dishes. Indian cuisine is deeply connected to faith—Hindus avoid beef and pork, while many prefer vegetarian or Halal options. That’s why our Indian menu at The Phoenix is fully Halal-certified, ensuring peace of mind for all guests. What makes me happiest as a chef is sharing the true flavors of India with Vietnam while fine-tuning the spices to suit local tastes. Cooking, to me, is a way to honor culture and connect people.”
