Straits

Straits is a restaurant that recently opened its doors in Buckhead, Atlanta. It’s a part of a chain, with its flagship restaurant in San Francisco. The cuisine is primarily Singaporean with a fusion of other Asian cuisines as well. Straits is owned by the one and only Ludacris so needless to say this place is super chic and pretty pricey!

SK took us here for my birthday this year. The food was excellent. I would suggest the Potong Kari Ayam; a traditional Singaporean curried chicken served with Jasmine rice. The plating was excellent and they have really pretty dinnerware. The best part though was dessert; a fancy concoction of strawberries, vanilla ice cream and chocolate. They even had a candle for me to blow out!

Unlike most restaurants that close early on weekdays, Straits is open until much later and even on a week-day they had a steady stream of customers. The music is loud, the lights dim and the crowd trendy. Good choice SK.
