**** For a casual dining experience, go to En, at Mohammad Sultan Road. It's a casual japanese bar and restaurant. We went there for a quick meal yesterday. The unakyu sushi(unagi with cucumber and tamago was really nice. The unagi was drenched with sweet sauce and was still warm. The tamago was just the right sweetness with the layers nicely done. I had the salmon don. Really light and refreshing. Rice was lightly vinegred and the salmon slices with salmon roe was what i needed to perk up my night. Would definitely pop on by to try their other stuff.

Unakyu sushi Taco rice: basically its a very simple dish of bolognese like beef with rice.
