Bloggers Table | Blue Ginger,Taj Palace … Vietnamese Cuisine & a Bento Box Lunch
I have always liked the concept of a bento box. I think it's a brilliant way to offer a business lunch. With such a varied and well balanced menu, there is enough and more on offer for both vegetarians and non vegetarians at Blue Ginger. The flavours delicate, lilting, caressing and beautifully understated, yet quite intense, my first ever Vietnamese meal couldn't have been better. Thank you Blue Ginger for hosting us.

Bloggers Table | Rose Café, New Delhi … a thorny affair and Pinktober let down
Not pink at all café review - The folk at the bloggers table delivered the promise as always … giggly, enthusiastic, chatty and click friendly. Rose Café, New Delhi, however didn’t! We failed to see the writing on the wall several times, willing to overlook glaring shortcomings, ready to forgive a lacking service standards, ever ready to accommodate an upcoming new venture which showed some promise. Maybe we shouldn’t be so large hearted after all!

It’s one thing having a philosophy of “Atithi devo Bhava – Our Guest is God”, and it’s another thing delivering it in every sense of the word. The Leela did just that!

Zanotta was Times Food Award’s pick for Best Italian in the Region in both 2010 and 2011.
