The eateries span over bonafide and unique fine-dining spots onto your typical mall-anchored chain restaurants that range over various ethnicities. Some of the top spots include Hana Sushi for reasonably-priced, delicious and creative Japanese food or you can opt for some traditional Indian fare in a serene-environment at Kohinoor. Hotspots to enjoy a drink or two include Elephant Bar, situated close to Altamonte Mall or if you prefer something casual, St. Andrews Tavern offers authentic British fare, darts, pints and friendly locals.
