The Holiday idea of most Delhiites is to either go to a beach or to the mountains. While mountains are still an easy drive of 6-7 hours, there is no beach in the surroundings. The now defunct Olive Beach (Restaurant) at Chanakyapuri was one place that gave a feel of lazing around at the beach…
This was my first visit to Sofitel after a long hiatus; ever since Executive Chef Inderjit Saha had moved out; the hotel has been struggling to get its F&B offerings back to the same levels that it had enjoyed under the tutelage of the chef Saha.

Andheri West in Mumbai is fast becoming a potent food and beverage hub in the Western Suburbs. Before any of these new food hubs could open, it was the home to a shopping mall which boasted of the highest footfall in Mumbai in those days. Despite having such a great footfall, Infiniti Mall in And…
The bylanes of Bandra are well known for their small hole in the wall eateries; Desi Deli is one of the recent ones to join this club. Located on Chapel Road, right across Saltwater Café, it is surrounded by many eateries of all shapes and size. The eatery with its al fresco dining area, is…
