10 Halal Restaurants with a view in London

As I write this post, the sun is gloriously shining. For how long? Who knows, this is London weather after all; I’m expecting a snow blizzard in 5 minutes. But as summer is finally making it’s way to us, why not make the most of the clear skies and book a meal with a tremendous […]

Halal Winter Wonderland London

Halal Options at Winter Wonderland

For my 16th birthday, TEN years ago, I had booked a large Hummer limousine to take me and my friends to Winter Wonderland for ice skating, followed by a meal at Planet Hollywood. Oh and there was a “neon” dress code too. I’m cringing as I type this – ugh. ANYWAYS back to the point, […]

Indian Accent

Turning 26 hasn’t been an easy process for me. I couldn’t believe that I was no longer in the 18-25 age bracket, sigh, and now had to put myself in the older range. Is this what becoming an adult feels like? To cheer me up, BW started off the birthday celebrations with a fancy dinner […]

The Landmark Afternoon tea

Afternoon Tea at The Landmark Hotel

As much as I love breakfast, brunch, lunch, elevenses, and dinner, nothing can beat a good spot of traditional Afternoon Tea. Piling warm scones up high with thick clotted cream and eating numerous finger sandwiches in one seating; what is there not to love. Plus, it is the easiest gift for anyone special in your […]

Romantic Restaurants in London

You’ll never guess what time of the year it is again? Nope, not Eid, and not my birthday either (although, this should be celebrated all year long), but Valentine’s day! Yay! Yes, I know we don’t do Valentine’s Day, and yes, I know everyday should be like valentines day *rolls eyes*, but I feel kind […]

Cinnamon Bazaar

Since I was a young’un, I’ve always been a little slow when it came to learning languages. Mum would try her hardest to teach me the gujarati basics whilst my Dhadi would write letters in gujarati to me, both sadly to no avail, and now that I’m older, I’ve realised how important it is to preserve […]

So, while I have my list of places to check out, it has been a while since I have come across a halal restaurant that has really caught my eye and got me all excited to go out and blog about. On top of all the 500 new burger places, we have the usual Chinese, […]

Le Chinois’ Afternoon Tea

Last Sunday I was kindly invited, by Joe Blogs, to the Millennium hotel in Knightsbridge for some afternoon tea at their in-house restaurant, Le Chinois. But this was afternoon tea with a twist, well an oriental twist to be precise – it was Chinese afternoon tea! A very different yet tasty concept that has arrived […]

Le Chef Masgouf

Do you guys ever have that one restaurant which you can just revisit over and over again without ever getting fed up of it? Let’s say revisit about 3 times in the space of a week and still be perfectly okay. Or maybe, you know, make it a weekly ritual and look forward to each […]

Roti Chai – Street Food

This December, BW and I are taking a little detour on our Dubai trip to visit Bombay for a couple of days. Saying that I’m slightly excited is an under exaggeration; its more like I’m super-duper, ridiculously elated at the fact that we’re going. I know Bombay isn’t the most exotic nor picturesque location but […]
