Asian food from dodgy hotel north of India (5)
I believe the answer is:
sushi
'asian food' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'dodgy hotel north of india' is the wordplay.
'dodgy' becomes 'sus' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'hotel' becomes 'h' (phonetic alphabet: alpha, bravo, charlie etc.).
'north of' means one lot of letters go next to another (in a down clue, some letters go above others).
'india' becomes 'i' (phonetic alphabet: alpha, bravo, charlie etc.).
'sus'+'h'+'i'='SUSHI'
'from' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for sushi that I've seen before include "'Dish of rice, vegetables and raw fish (5)'" , "oriental dish" , "Japanese food" , "Asian dish" , "Food from Japan" .)
