I had a relatively late introduction to Foxlow, despite numerous recommendations. The less carnivorous and more laid back sister restaurant from the Hawksmoor group, Foxlow is about seasonal British food in a casual neighbourhood dining setting. Our first impression of the Balham branch is how spacious and bright it was from the inside. Wooden tables, leather chairs, part-tile and…

New Opening: Stoke House, London
Stoke House is the latest offering from Will Ricker, the man behind the brand that gave us Eight Over Eight and La Bodega Negra. The concept behind Stoke House is based on the traditional great British carvery, but with a stylish and modern spin and added cocktails. Part of the new all steel and glass development in Nova by London Victoria…
New Opening : Lupins, London
Lupins is a new, modern British restaurant that is a stone’s throw away from the achingly trendy eateries of Flat Iron Square. The fresh interiors are mostly neutrals and whites with added pale pink hues and green plants in white pots, creating a soft and summery look. The whole restaurant has a light, bright and natural feel to it….
Review: The Life Goddess, London
I recently met up with my dear friend M for a delicious Saturday lunch at The Life Goddess in Kingly Court, Soho. Part of the impressive range of eateries that Kingly Court boasts of, this one is a quaint, charming and homely restaurant specialising in home-cooked Greek food with wines to match. The décor is light…
Lavaash by Saby – New Delhi
When my brother mentioned that there is an Armenian – Bengali restaurant operating in New Delhi, I was intrigued. This was a cuisine combination I was not expecting, so needless to say I was quite looking forward to visiting this restaurant. Lavaash is situated in the historic and stylish Mehrauli Qutb complex. It is more of…
SodaBottleOpenerWala – New Delhi
I have never tried Parsi food before, so when my brother (and fellow foodie) suggested I try Parsi food, I was game! You can read all about Parsi cuisine here. Delhi has an enviable selection of restaurants specialising in regional cuisine and it seems Parsi food is a firm favourite. We went to a restaurant called SodaBottleOpenerWala,…
Ziu, New Delhi
During my recent visit to my hometown Delhi, I had the opportunity to try a newly-opened modern Thai restaurant called Ziu. It is owned by Chef Gurmehar Singh Sethi who spent some time travelling in Thailand, learning about the intricacies of Thai cuisine and gaining experience in some top international restaurants before opening Ziu. Ziu is a contemporary space with…
Set Menu at Brew, Wandsworth
Most of us are familiar with Brew Café. Whether you live locally in Clapham, Putney or Wandsworth, many weekends have been spent sampling their delicious brunches and juices. Not to mention, they do some of the best coffees and their brownies are delightful. This time, for a change, we decided to check out their dinner set menu – 2 courses for…
Bao Bao, Boxpark Croydon
Bao is now omnipresent. Having said that, its popularity doesn’t look like it will fade anytime soon. Having tried bao for the first time at my Taiwanese friend’s place and then in Bao Soho (you can read it in my blog here), I am always keen on finding more of them. The pillowy and yielding soft buns,…
Cocktails at MeatUp, London
MeatUp Grill is one of my favourite places for steak in Wandsworth. I have been a regular visitor here ever since they opened their doors in 2016. Founder Sachin, Head Chef Stephen Hinkley and the team have been regaling the South West London locals with their BBQ grilled meats, prime cuts and steaks. In particular, I am a…
