Chakra | Little Venice
Whenever I’m asked to recommend a great and authentic indian restaurant, the name that slips off my lips is Chakra. London has a lot of fine dining Indian restaurants to be proud of and there are some big names that spring to mind, however Chakra is a delightful gem with a neighbourhood feel to it,…

Chakra | Barnes
If there is one thing I have missed dreadfully since the pandemic hit, it has been eating out. I have accepted the fact that it may be another year till I can board a flight without all the necessary tests and paperwork needed (the last time was September 2019) but the cravings I’ve had for…

I usually go for a latte with a shot of hazelnut or caramel syrup, however recently I started drinking tea. English breakfast tea. I know, right? I hadn’t touched the…

Amba Hotel Marble Arch
Last week was very stressful. In fact it reached the level whereby I burst into tears when I got home…possibly two days in a row. Yeah, it was that bad. I even uttered a few expletives. I couldn’t wait for the weekend to get here so I could unwind. Friday night arrived and my first…
