My birthday falls on the coldest, most depressing month of the year – January. Not only is everyone broke after Christmas, but most are marking #DryJanuary, which doesn’t leave much scope for celebratory drinks… which is why I make it a point to celebrate it even more, doing something that I love most (eating) and…

London Food Review: Sophie’s Steakhouse
Wow! Just wow! From the moment we enter Sophie’s Steakhouse, we are pleasantly gobsmacked by everything we see and taste. The first thing that hits you is the space. Huge. Palatial. High industrial ceilings. This is possibly one of the largest restaurants I have ever seen in Soho. There is a purposefully raw, unfinished look…
New Opening : Macellaio RC, Clapham
I am having an Italian gastronomic moment. A few weeks ago, it was the fabulous Bombetta, this week it is the turn of Italian steak experts Macellaio RC. The newly opened fourth establishment in Clapham (other branches include South Kensington, Southwark, Union Street) is a meat lovers’ idea of dolce vita. Macellaio is located at…
New Opening : Flock, Tower Hill
Flock is a concept eatery that serves delicious Square Mile coffee during the day, but in the evening transforms into an intimate cafe-bistro, serving classic cocktails and artisan burgers. This under-the-arch space is lilliputian but somehow feels spacious – perhaps because they haven’t crammed it with lots of tables and chairs. The striking, black-and-white, hand-painted…
New Opening: Tuyo, Broadway Market
Very rarely do we find ourselves in a restaurant where an entire menu is so impressive that it blows you away. Last year, it was our experience at Foleys. This time, it is the turn of the newly opened Tuyo at Broadway Market, Hackney. Tucked away at one end of the Cat and Mutton Bridge in…
New Menu: Skylon Grill, London
I was really looking forward to my visit to the stylish riverside restaurant Skylon, as I had really fond memories from the first time. They have recently launched a new menu under Chef Kim Woodward, so it seemed an opportune moment to revisit. The inside is light, bright, modern and cavernous, with high ceilings and…
Review: Brunch at Jikoni
Jikoni is a new, modern restaurant in Marylebone serving dishes influenced by Britain, Africa, Asia and the Middle East. It is the debut restaurant from award-winning food writer and cook Ravinder Bhogal and the food chronicles her journey from Kenya to London. I have been hearing rave reviews about this place from various sources: foodie friends…
Veneta – A little slice of Venice in London
Veneta is the glamorous new baby from the Salt Yard group (from the team behind Dehesa, Ember Yard, Opera Tavern and Salt Yard), bringing a slice of Venice to London. The Salt Yard Group specialises in all things Italian and Spanish, with a clear focus on tasty sharing plates paired with superb wines. Situated in the…
Five sweet delights I ate in Vienna
I don’t really have a sweet tooth. I am more of a savoury person. I am one of those people who will always choose a starter + main as opposed to main + dessert. But when you are in Vienna, it’s criminal not to savour their sweet offerings. As a tribute to last week’s BBC’s…
Rök, Shoreditch
Getting to Rök has been an adventure in itself. We booked it three times and each time we had to cancel the booking for personal reasons (no fault of the restaurant). So when we finally made it, it felt like a ‘woohoo’ moment! Rök is currently celebrating their one year anniversary so it seems like an opportune moment to visit….
Calcutta Street
I have been eagerly awaiting the launch of Calcutta Street like a child waiting for Christmas pressies. It gives me particular pleasure and pride to write this blog as I tap into my inner Bengali roots and write about the food I grew up with and love. I can honestly say that it is Bengali food…
