I was a day or two in New York already before it hit me: why had I not explored the option of going on a food tour??! I needed to fix this, pronto. I started Googling frantically before I picked on Foods of New York Tours, and within that, The Original Greenwich Village Tours. What…

A stroll in Italy thanks to Náis Italian Kitchen
Náis Italian Kitchen in JLT is potentially a new favourite for Italian food. When it is so easy to get bored with Italian cuisine with its staple pizza, pasta and tiramisu, Náis is a breath of fresh air. We walked in late – nearly 9pm. Exhausted from a long day’s work, all we wanted was…
Pizza and tiramisu in a rustic setting at Red Tomato Pizza
After living in the UK and having excellent Italian food there, and going to the US and gorging on Giordano’s deep dish pizza, I’ve developed a hankering to find good pizza and Italian food in the UAE. One night I had plans for an evening out, which got cancelled (curse you, O ditcher!), and I…
An Italian night out with Vivaldi at Sheraton Dubai Creek Hotel & Towers
Well I’ll say this for sure: Vivaldi has one heck of a brilliant view. The outdoor seating of this Italian restaurant (it actually used to serve French cuisine many, many years ago!) overlooks the Creek and diners are treated to the old-world charms of dhows slowly passing on dark, lapping waters with the glittering Burj…
The Italian Pizza (Atlantis food blogger safari Part 4)

Macaroni Grill
My first time to Macaroni Grill I ordered their cannelloni, since I’ve discovered (only in the last year!) that I do love cannelloni pasta. The cannelloni was really good, although personally I preferred the one I’d had months ago in Sheffield. There was also their veggie salad on the table, since Chirag was … well … IS vegetarian (How…
Kitchin N1
Kitchin N1 is a buffet restaurant in the King’s Cross area in London. It is, as it says on their website, based on a “theatre-island kitchen” where you can actually see the chefs prepare the food. The chefs are surrounded by the buffet tables, where you can pick and choose your meal as you…
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…
