Loveshack, Bangalore
Loveshack, Bangalore Just a couple of days back I read a blogpost about the 10 best roof-top bars in India.

Hyderabad Food Trip – Tolichowki In general, when someone utters the word culinary tourism in Hyderabad- it’s almost a given that they’re taking about the Charminar locality. The area around Charminar, often known as Old City has been at the helm of every food blogger’s bucket list. As I had mentioned in my travelogue- Hyderabad…

City of Angels – Los Angeles
City of Angels – Los Angeles The single most regret I have is not being able to click a picture such as the one above- the Los Angeles skyline in the night is extremely beautiful. A city that is featured in almost every Hollywood flick and is also the center of the nation’s film and…

Fattoush, Bangalore
Fattoush, Bangalore Back in the days (college days), I remember the standard conversation we used to have whenever we end up having a pleasant food experience at a restaurant. It might sound irrelevant but we start going over aspects like how much the restaurateur must have invested in this venture, how much we thought he…

Monterey, 17-Mile Drive, Pacific Coast Hwy
Monterey, 17-Mile Drive, Pacific Coast Hwy Do you remember playing the game Roadrash? I’m sure that everyone must have played this deranged motorcycle-racing game at least once during their younger years. Some of us liked the game for the ability to ride close to your opponents (while racing) and literally kick/whip/punch them off their bikes.…

Sunday Brunch at The Square, Novotel
Ever since we moved to Bangalore, we’ve been staying at Ibis hotel and one word to recapitulate our experience so far- outstanding. From the very first day we checked into the hotel, greeted by Nithin at the front office to the restaurant managers. Funny thing, every day felt like a day at a college hostel-…

Hyderabad Food Trip – Old City
The first thing that pops into my head when I think about Hyderabad is the Biriyani– mind blowing, delicious Biriyani. This is not just because I am a food lover, generally the first thing that any Indian can talk about when the name of this city comes to their head, is the biriyani. When I…

The ThickShake Factory, Hyderabad
#Insanely #ThickShakes During my school days in Kannur-Kerala, me and my friends used to visit these Ice Cream parlors especially during the peak summer season. Although named Ice Cream parlors they were more popular for the thick milk shakes served. As a matter of fact anyone from Kerala would have- at least once in their lifetime- been exposed…

Glocal Junction, Hyderabad
Glocal Junction For a food lover, perhaps the greatest challenge is to satisfy his/her own taste buds. We ourselves decide which restaurant to visit based on what food we like. Today, I may feel like having Thai food and so I would home in on a restaurant that serves amazing Thai food. Tomorrow my palate may crave for some lip-smacking…

Mekong – Marigold By Green Park, Hyderabad
Mekong – Marigold By Green Park Before I start reviewing Mekong, I’d like to talk about two separate entities- Burrp and Marigold Hotels– the former is a local food and restaurant recommendation engine and the latter, a brand of 5-star luxury hotels. How did I find out about Burrp? While checking-in to numerous fine-dine restaurants in…

China Bistro, Hyderabad
China Bistro I have always been a fan of Pan-Asian cuisine with a special admiration for Thai cuisine– I totally love the strong aromatic elements of the dishes and the not-so-apparent level of spice. Ever since my visit to Phuket an Phi Phi Islands– the former cuisine is now my most favourite. Frankly, I haven’t tried a…

Kaficko, Banjara Hills, Hyderabad
As the Hyderabad chapter of my life comes to an end, so does the number of days at my disposal to visit the restaurants currently bookmarked on my Zomato profile. This, sort of puts me in a sticky situation- to short-list a list of already short-listed restaurants. So, it was a Sunday and after a lot of thought we decided…

WOFL, Hyderabad
WOFL, Hyderabad After a pleasant experience, munching on waffles last week at an outlet in Hi-tech city, we (Herwin Abhilash Kandoth) were eager to visit WOFL.
