You can likely ger BBQ and other American meals in your community-Asheville is the place to step out of your box and try something different.
If you are lookin for good Tia/ food --Wild ginger on Hendersonville road is wonderful. Plenty of parking in its strip center. Its small,, usually busy with a wait for a table and very reasonably priced
Romantic, expensive and excellent small portion food is Plant on Merrimon ave. BTW its Vegan but you will not know it.
Excellent Chinese food for the family Oriental Pavilion in Westgate center, Also the best take out and delivery in town.
Parking can be an issue downtown. There are a few good restaurants within walkin distance of the Wall street parking garage. BUT the elevator is being replaced so you will have to use the stairs or park ground floor if available. Chai Pani on wall street with outside dinning and people watching, excellent Indian food, casual atmosphere, as well there are several other good restaurants in the grove arcade.
And plant restaurant on wall street.
There is Mela Indian buffet down town on Lexington and this place is a treat, Relatively inexpensive for downtown and DELICIOUS!
As well as Jeresulum Garden on Patton across from the drum circle at Prichard park. And -Belly dancers in full costume on Friday and Sat nights!
