I had first seen Dishoom when I was hopelessly lost in Covent Garden in August 2010. When I saw the restaurant, I stopped in my tracks and smiled for the first time since I’d been wandering in that quagmire of confusing streets. “Dishoom” is the sound I think of if there was a Bollywood version…

Where to eat in Shoreditch for £5 or less
1 of 4 View Slideshow Coffee Me 48 Great Eastern Street, London EC2A 3EP I had their Italian chicken toasted sandwich for around £3 and their cappuccinos come for £1.95. They also have £5 meal-deals, such as a sandwich, salad and a hot drink. Good food, and quite good rates. On a sunny day,…
The Frog Yoghurt (really)
Simple really: choose the flavour of yoghurt you want (I went for chocolate!), then pick your toppings (chocolate brownie and strawberries) and ENJOY! This one is in Bayswater, right across the tube station exit.
My new favourite place – Drink Shop Do
I discovered a café after my own heart – Drink, Shop & Do. A café/bar/design shop that has vintage items and quirky kitsch, it stole my heart a few seconds after I stepped in. I ordered a chocolate brownie and a hot chocolate (yup, chocolate overdose!) and my friends ordered a lemon drizzle, a chocolate…
Strawberries. Chocolate. Whipped Cream. And a waffle.
Loving small cafés in London. This was DELICIOUS! A hot waffle topped with whipped cream and stawberries and hot chocolate poured on top. What’s not to like?
The Innocent Café – get your 5-a-day for 5 pounds!
1 of 6 A unique concept that I stumbled upon online, the Innocent 5 for 5 café is one that’s open for just 7 days. You heard me right. Either sit down in the restaurant or avail of the the takeaways (apparently you had to book online and all the seats were gone when…
Whittard of Chelsea stores
After two posts already on Whittard of Chelsea (see them here and here), what can I possibly add? I’ve been to Whittard’s in Dubai and in UK. I don’t know if it’s just my luck, but I’ve never been inside a Whittard’s in UK that serves food as well. In Dubai, apart from selling tea,…
Pasta, tiramisu and cheesecake at Casa Mia
Walking around Leeds landed Dee Rawat and I at Casa Mia at Millennium Square. Actually, she said it was pink and purple therefore we absolutely had to go there. And as for me, I liked the view we had. Whether the colour was the reason we went there or the view, the food turned out…
Thai food at Siam Central
My friend took me to a Thai restaurant, Siam Central, which is on Charlotte Street and runs parallel to Tottenham Court Road. Centrally located (take the Northern line to Google Street or Central to Tottenham Court Road), it’s a small place that I normally might not have noticed. Absolutely loved the decór – typical bamboo…
Shake Club
Don’t be fooled by the outward appearance of a tiny establishment called “Shake Club” on Westfield Terrace, Sheffield. It’s one of its kind in Sheffield after all! It boasts over 101 different milkshake flavours that combine your favourite sweet/chocolate with all the goodness of milkshakes. I’d gone with two other friends, and between us we…
