Kricket, London: This modern Indian is pushing all the boundaries

It’s been a while since I have written about an Indian restaurant. The problem is that I love it so much and I have always been so spoilt by my mother’s cooking that when I eat out at Indian restaurants, I can’t help but feel discontent. You will often find British Asians complaining that the restaurants in central…

Oka, London: all rounder Japanese gem

First and foremost, I have to again apologise for my social media hiatus I seem to have unintentionally been on! Truth be told, work got immensely busy in the lead up to Christmas- for some reason people all of a sudden wake up and start panicking around mid-December to get everything completed and signed off. Christmas is on the…

Sexy Fish, London: Quite the catch…

Mr.N had a meeting in Mayfair. We hardly venture out in Mayfair, in fact, since I started working at my current firm we only seem to go out around Soho. Our plan was to meet after work and head somewhere nice for a few drinks. I booked Mr.Foggs’ Residence but they only had a table at…

Chotto Matte, London: What took us so long?

Mr.N had it all planned out. We were going to get the 6.08pm train into London Euston in order to get to Barrafina just before the queue got ridiculously long. After our civilised meal we would head to Liverpool Street for Mr.N’s cousin’s birthday drinks. The thing is, plans sometimes just don’t go to plan….

The Crazy Bear, Fitzrovia, London: Ultra trendy Thai

I think I have said this before, but our friends and family are obsessed with giving Mr.N and I restaurant gift cards and experiences. I’m actually shocked that we both aren’t obese already. I’m not going to lie though, I have put on a tiny bit of “love” weight since the wedding. It’s actually got to…

Dehesa, London: Spain meets Soho

I had become well acquainted with Mr.R, an accountant who I had worked with some while ago, and as it turns out, he loves my blog! Our conversations are often based around food, and he is as critical, if not more than I am about his food. We decided to meet after work to explore…

Blacklock, London: Chop notch grub

First and foremost, please accept my apologies for how long it has taken me to post a new blog, guys! Mr.N has been complaining about the amount of time I’ve kept him in hibernation! Truth is that we were really busy with moving into our new place and on top of that I landed myself…

MeatLIQUOR N1, London: Winging it?

MeatLIQUOR has been on my ‘must go to’ list for a while. I’m a junkie, there, I said it. No, not in the dodgy drug abusing sense but in the sense that I have an unhealthily frequent desire to binge on junk food. I love burgers, I love chicken wings, I love cheesy fries- I just love…

XO, London: Pan-Asian hits the spot

Mr.N and I were feeling in the mood for some dim sum or Japanese but neither of us fancied going all the way into the city. I thought I would ‘Foogle’- this is my term for using Google to hunt down a good and relatively local restaurant. The result was XO. This understated chic Pan-Asian restaurant is hidden…

LIMA Floral, London: Pleasant Peruvian

This was another birthday treat. I asked for non-stuffy, non-pretentious and I got exactly that in the form of LIMA Floral. This is the sister restaurant of the Michelin starred LIMA London in Fitzrovia. Naturally, I was wondering what this younger sibling had in store for us. The restaurant itself has a tranquil and relaxed…

Top annoying restaurant behaviours

First off, I am sorry for not posting anything in a while. We’ve just recently bought a new place and between waiting for sofa deliveries and catching up on season 4 of Suits, I have had no time to dedicate to a meaningful blog! I have, however, been thinking a lot about my general experiences at restaurants…
