EASTERN RESTAURANTS (Jávea)
:
INDIAN RESTAURANTS
< N.B. NEPALESE RESTAURANTS
>
Being largely ignorant of Indian
cuisine we have wondered why
these next three restaurants are
talked about over and above all other
(Indian? style) restaurants and two
are listed at Trip Advisor higher than
the other Indian restaurants. We can
only assume it must be the Nepalese
influence and the reputation of
Northern Indian cuisine ! Go and try
them.
Restaurante BUDDHA PALACE
Arenal - opposite former La Plaza &
tennis club. Always a most enjoyable
experience and the “bush telegraph”

CHINESE
Restaurante < The WOK BUFFET >
: Jávea, at the Barclays roundabout.
Very good for families and now with
an extensive choice of shellfish
included in their bargain price. Eat
all you like for €9.95 (special price for
kids under 7). Go early (12:30h for
lunch, 19:30h for dinner) when the
huge spread is at its best. Attentive
service. No muzak. A bit of a
“canteen” ambience but this is a great
quality “fill-up” if you are hungry and
feeding hordes of kids. 96 579.7016
/ daily 12-24h.
Restaurante (the 5-star) BENI
ASIA***** !! : On right side of the
Cumbre del Sol road which leads off
Benitachell high street (left at traffic
lights just after Mas-y-Mas). This
is regarded by very many (including
your writer) as the best Chinese
restaurant in the whole area, lead
by the charming owner, Fan-Fan.
