*= must orders

💫 This was a late night dinner at after a lovely evening out and honestly it did hit the spot, I loved the flavour of the Korean Yuzu wings although I would have probably preferred the wings to be boneless and I prefer meat off the bone.

✨ I was super excited to try the Chipuffalo ones but they were quite average for me. I loved the tots, the dynamite ones were gorgeous, they weren’t dry and there was enough jalapeños to make it quite spicy with a nice amount of flavour.

💫 this was such a welcome surprise for our evening out in Manchester, I wasn’t expecting the food at to be so good! Everything we ordered was delicious and I loved the serving staff’s recommendations 😋 my favourite was the chicken yakitori, the chicken was so delicious and flavourful!

✨ my other favourite was the cauliflower wings, I love cauliflower and the flavour was so good! My only gripe was that the staff seemed insistent on clearing our table even when it was clear we were still eating? It happened a few times which made me think it wasn’t a mistake and started to get very annoying! However if I returned to this area in Manchester again I would return as the food was delicious 😍

💫 I’ve eaten a lot of Indian food recently so I was a bit wary of going to but this was round two for Fathers Day for my father in law and actually we had a lovely time. Since moving to SE London, I’ve struggled to find good Indian food because nothing really compares to West London tbh, but I’m glad we’ve found this place 🙌🏽

✨ The fish pakora were sooo good, and the daal & keema were delicious too! We couldn’t really fault the food, the chicken Karahi wasn’t my favourite but it wasn’t bad by any means, the chilli paneer was saucy and fresh, everything was flavoured well and cobra always goes so well with Indian food 😍

🍹Spicy Margarita £12

💫 I love stumbling upon cute little wine bars and is the cutest place, the decor is so nice and the service was fab. We sat outside just as it was cooling down for the evening so it was perfect weather for me☀️

✨ The Spicy Marg was delightful, this is one cocktail that I absolutely love and I definitely don’t drink it enough! The balance of spice was perfect and it wasn’t too strong either, just delicious! Next time I’m coming for brunch 😋

💫 is such a hidden gem, it’s not too far from Heathrow Airport & I’m gutted I’ve moved from this area because I’d honestly be here all the time if I still lived here 😂 the food was lovely, my lamb was super spicy & delicious and the mixed grill came sizzling and all the meat was super flavourful.

✨ I loved that they were able to adjust the spice levels for us, I know not everyone wants everything super spicy and some restaurants aren’t as flexible so this was great. The Amritsari fish was ok, I would’ve have preferred bigger chunks like a pakora style but that’s a personal preference. Service was fab, drinks were flowing and everything was such good value!

💫 One of my favourite pubs in Kent, located in such a great area opposite the green in the village hence the name of the pub, it makes such a great place for a sunny day 🤩 the service is always fab here, the staff are so lovely!

✨ We’ve had the roast here before too which is bloody delightful, so I couldn’t wait to try out other dishes from the menu and I love bangers & mash so this was right up my street 😍 no complaints from me in terms of the food, they also have a wide array of gins which I love! Now the weather is getting better, I can’t wait to spend more sunny days here 😍

🍗 Chicken Pad Thai £17

💫 My last post on Glasgow! I was recommended this place for authentic Thai food and seeing as I hadn’t eaten Asian food for a while, I thought I’d give it a go. The food itself was good, it wasn’t the best pad Thai I’ve ever eaten but it was nice enough.

✨ The service was slowww, I ordered my food to take it away and was told it would be 10-15 mins, I ended up waiting nearly 45 mins because they had forgotten my order. The front of house staff disappeared for 20 odd mins too so I couldn’t even communicate with anyone and judging my the comments overheard from diners, I wasn’t the only one who noticed the timekeeping issues. For £17 and a 45 min wait, I wasn’t bowled over by this place but maybe I’ll try the Edinburgh branch next time?

🍗 Classic Fried Chicken Burger £10
🍟 Hot Honey Sweet Potato Fries £5
🍄 Truffle Mayo £1.50

💫 I fancied a nice juicy burger on my last night in Glasgow so I treated myself to this beauty from , it hit the spot! I was on a budget so I went for the classic burger but honey sweet potato fries. I was worried the fries were going to be too sweet but actually I enjoyed them!

✨ The burger was great, next time I would definitely try the spicy or truffle one, I did order a truffle mayo to satisfy my truffle cravings but sometimes only a classic burger will do!

The restaurant itself looked fab, definitely a running theme with the Glasgow city restaurants, so I’d definitely want to eat inside here next time I’m in Glasgow 😍🍔

Overall: ⭐️⭐️⭐️

💰££

🍗 Garlic Chilli Chicken £7.75
🥒 Raita £3.25
🫓 Garlic Naan £3.60

💫 The food at is described as Dishoom style and whilst that’s not my favourite Indian restaurant in london, you also know that you can’t go wrong at Dishoom so I was intrigued! I went for a spicy curry instead of a creamy one as I’m always worried that butter chicken will taste sweet and there’s nothing worse 🥴

✨ The curry was delicious, it had a good kick to it so the raita was very welcome to cool everything down but I was disappointed with the naan, it was more like a tortilla with how thin it was, it was very unimpressive!

I would like to try out the restaurant next time I visit Glasgow but they definitely need to improve on their naans!

💫 I was honestly blown away by , this is the kind of food I love, small plates of delicious simple food. I was just gutted that I was dining solo because I would have loved to have ordered more dishes to try but 3 dishes were definitely enough for me, I left very full and happy.

✨ The feta dip was served with delicious warm bread and the saltiness of the cheese paired with the sweetness of honey is one of my favourite combinations 😍 the chicken was beautifully tender but for me the star of the show was the carrots! As a veggie side dish I didn’t think much of them, but the sauce was stunnnnnning and I loved every bite 😍

I’m so glad I stumbled across this gorgeous place, if there’s only one restaurant you visit in Glasgow make sure it’s this one! 🥰

🍅 Harissa Lamb: red sauce, pickled onions, harissa lamb, confit garlic, tzatziki, tomatoes £13.50

💫 Another day, another takeaway! This was lunch from in the office and it was so delicious! I chose their monthly special of harissa lamb, although I was so tempted to get the cheeseburger one 🍔

✨ I love a sourdough pizza, and the toppings here looked amazing so I will definitely try and return here before I’m back in London because it was really delicious 😍

Would definitely recommend if you’re ever craving pizza in Glasgow 🥰

💫 It’s impossible to visit Switzerland without eating fondue and did not disappoint 😍 you can’t really go wrong with melted cheese and bread and potatoes but it was all delicious, I’m so glad we ordered the salad of all things because it was a welcome break in between bites of carbs loaded with melted cheese 🧀

✨ The service was amazing, every single server we had was so lovely, they really took time to speak to us and made us feel so welcome, to the point where we were all reluctant to leave 😂 they even gave us some special chilli sauce when the Tabasco ran out 😂 top class service 👌🏽

Would highly recommend if you ever visit Geneva and fancy some great fondue with a side of amazing service 🥰

💫 I love Peruvian food so when I saw .restaurant nearby to where we stayed in Geneva, I wanted to pay a visit. I love ceviche as it’s so light & fresh, I especially loved the Japanese style tuna which was so moreish & delicious. I didn’t love Peruvian corn as they weren’t crunchy so I felt like the texture could’ve been better.

✨ The chicken was lovely and soft, possibly some of the most tender chicken I’ve eaten in a while and the mussels were equally as delicious. The dessert was so good, I was actually quite full by the time dessert was mentioned so we shared this one portion between all of us and it was exactly what I needed 😂 also look how the bill was presented, is that not the cutest thing ever?! 😍

Overall we had a great time here, the service was also lovely. One more place to mention from Geneva and then I’ll be back to posting more London content 🥰

💫 I do love a rooftop lounge, whether that’s in London or anywhere I visit on hols 😂 was a lovely place to have a drink during our visit to Geneva this past bank hol, the weather was lovely and the drinks were even better!

✨ Service was great, everyone was super friendly! It took a while to get seated but we were 6 people and we hadn’t booked so it was fair enough lol and also the drinks aren’t cheap but Switzerland is a fairly expensive country and this was a hotel rooftop so it wasn’t surprising to any of us!

Stay tuned for where I ate in Geneva 🥰

💫 I’ve been on TikTok long enough to be constantly craving soup dumplings and are said to be one of the best in london (obviously will be trying lots of other places to compare 😋) but these dumplings were fab! So satisfying and spicy and delicious. I honestly couldn’t fault any of the dumplings at all!

✨ The service was ok, it was really busy for a Tuesday evening but this was Covent Garden so I guess they’re busy all the time. I think we probably could’ve ordered one more dish but we left feeling satisfied and not stuffed! I would definitely come back here to satisfy some dumplings cravings (aka all the time 😂)

Have you ever visited Din Tai Fung? What did you think? And where else would you recommend for dumplings?! 🥟

💫 I love Japanese food and the cuisine at has been described as Japanese junk food which I love. I think we ordered the right amount of food, we left full & happy rather than stuffed and bloated. We liked everything we ate, I’ve starred my must orders but the only dish I was disappointed with was the chicken as it heard it was a must order but it didn’t blow me away and for almost £20, I want to be blown away. The salmon pizza was also slightly spicy for me personally but others love it.

✨ The service was fab, the staff were happy to recommend dishes and accommodate for us which was so appreciated. It’s fairly small inside but I think that contributed to the cosiness and we had a lovely evening here ✨

✨ I wasn’t feeling the cocktail I got first, it had like a aniseed taste which isn’t a bit of me but luckily they let me switch to Prosecco 😅 the food was lovely, I thought we might need more than one dish each but the portions were decent, so I was pleasantly surprised. Service was also great, everyone was super friendly!

💫 Being Indian, going to an Indian restaurant is always going to come with some high expectations, and there was good & bad points following my visit to . Foodwise, we all did the Big Feast + a veggie version for my BIL and there was plenty of food, we didn’t need the extras lol, we loved the black dahl, if there’s one thing you order make sure it’s this! The food was pretty good to be honest, especially for a higher end Indian place, it was definitely a good meal.

✨ The service was hit & miss, the manager was a bit rude when we first arrived as there was a mix up with our booking which wouldn’t have bothered me had the manager not been so salty about it? I really felt like I was being told off which was so uncomfortable. Bearing in mind that our booking was towards the end of the lunch rush so the restaurant was emptying out 😶 the waiting staff were brilliant though!

✨ My only gripe was that they didn’t serve extra sandwiches which I know isn’t always the case anyways but a lot of afternoon teas do offer them so it would’ve been a plus if they had! But I enjoyed what we ate & we had a lovely time here 🥰

✨I was also pleasantly surprised by the dessert, I’m not massively keen on desserts but this one just worked beautifully. The best part was the wine pairing, each wine was delicious and went amazingly well with the food, I was so impressed! Customer service was fab as always!

💫 I’ve been wanting to go to for the longest time, ever since Jamie Demitriou mentioned this restaurant on Off Menu 😍 and Im happy to say that it didn’t disappoint! I thought the food was really clever and it all worked really well together. My only gripe was that we paid £10 each extra for truffle and it made zero difference to the dish in my opinion!

✨ I’m always so nervous with tasting menus as I end up getting full and wasting food which I hate, but I finished 99% of the food so I was so proud of myself! Service was fab too, the restaurant is super small with only 20 covers so it’s very intimate and the staff are brilliant. Also their menu changes every few weeks so I kind of want to go back and try their new menu now 😂

✨ I love dosas but never tried a hopper before so I was so excited to visit , their Marylebone branch is so cosy and the service was fab. The food was all really tasty, our must orders were the Squid, the Masala Dosa & the Chicken Buriani 😍 portions were decent for an upmarket restaurant, the only thing that annoyed me was paying extra for chutneys/sambals, they really should be included!

✨ I would definitely recommend this place, for 3 of us we were pleasantly full, and the food was of a good standard and reasonably priced! Have you been to Hoppers before? What did you think?

📍Pizza Pilgrims, Canary Wharf 🍽

Overall: ⭐️⭐️⭐️

What we ordered:

🥤Italian Cherry Soda £3.50
🍕Double Pepperoni & Spicy Honey w/ extra Nduja £16.75
🍕Margherita w/ extra chilli & garlic £12.25
🍕Margherita w/ extra Nduja £13.25

✨ I wasn’t overly impressed with the pizzas here, they were ok but I think they’re quite pricey for the quality! I did like the combo of the spicy honey & nduja, I didn’t want the extra pepperoni as I felt like it was too much meat but we ordered ahead of time so I didn’t want to send it back.

✨ The cherry soda was delicious and service was ok, it was a busy lunchtime at their Canary Wharf branch so I was expecting that to be fair, but it doesn’t make me want to rush back either. What are some other pizza places I should try?
