Indochen Opens At Alexandria Hotel, Serving Indo-Chinese Comfort Food

ALEXANDRIA, VA — Chef Ram Thapa has brought his Indo-Chinese menu to Indochen, a restaurant at the Hyatt Centric Old Town Alexandria hotel. Indochen also has a location in Cameron Station, which replaced London Curry House.

Indochen offers breakfast, lunch and dinner featuring both traditional Chinese dishes and cuisine from Thapa’s hometown in Nepal.

The new restaurant is open at 1625 King Street, offering a dining option for hotel guests and locals alike minutes from the King Street Metro station. Indochen is located in the lobby of the Hyatt Centric Old Town Alexandria, which opened before the COVID-19 pandemic in early 2020. Dine-in, bar service and pickup options are available.

"Along with the excitement of leading one of Alexandria’s newest hotels, I am thrilled to work alongside Chef Ram Thapa and bring a new energy to the lobby to create a refreshing experience for every guest," said Sam Selvi, general manager of the Hyatt Centric Old Town Alexandria. "With easy access to breakfast, lunch and dinner options, Indonchen enables visitors to discover cuisine that encompasses the best of Indian and Chinese culture."

Thapa’s dinner menu at Indochen starts with appetizers like samosas, crispy baby kale chat, chicken spring roll, pork belly and chicken or lamb dumplings. For the main course, diners can choose from options like tandoori spiced chicken, salmon tikka masala, chow mein and fried rice. A few of the menu items are specials for two, such as the chicken or lamb biryani served with basmati rice, biryani spices and yogurt.

The lunch menu includes Indian favorites like palak paneer, chicken curry, butter chicken and chicken tikka masala. Diners can also get butter chicken in wrap form and find more traditional American sandwiches like crab cakes, burgers and ABLT (avocado, bacon, lettuce and tomato).

Dishes come with a sharing spoon to encourage family-style dining. Dine-in service includes a selection of cocktails, spirits, draft beers and wines.

For breakfast, the menu offers more American favorites like omelets, salmon bagel, pancakes and more. Coffee, tea and juices are available to order.

Indochen's location at Hyatt Centric Old Town Alexandria is open 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily. The Cameron Station location at 4906 Brenman Park Drive is open Tuesday to Sunday from 12 p.m. to 9 p.m. For more information, visit www.indochen.com.
