Bayswater is a culinary destination onto itself. It already feels like Chinatown, the sequel with dim sum superchain Royal China and the King of Lobster noodles Mandarin Kitchen in the area; Not to mention that ultra reputed curry house Khan’s as well as meatfest heaven…

Yalla Yalla: Beirut Express [review]

Trend is a funny thing. It is exhilarating riding the hype waves and it had driven me to try Yalla Yalla, especially after reading about it on World Foodie Guide and on Metro. It was a toss up between Tayyabs and this, for a five…

The Cadogan Arms: Time to grab some grub [review]

Koba: Korean Magic [review]

Giaconda Dining Room: Remembering Les Paul. [review]

I will never be able to afford the Martin 0M-28. The solid mahogany, the musky rosewood and that resonant, clear and crisp ring, I was John Mayer possessed strumming along to ‘No such thing’, now eternally burned into my memory from years of fandom. Achingly,…
