Supposedly, Nafees is the best place for non-veg in Indore, after Sayaji of course. And it did not disappoint. An iconic restaurant in Indore known for its Kebabs and Biryani, it lived up to its name and fame. I was there for lunch with my team — we managed to […]
Kolkata means extended family, good food, shopping and old-world charm for us. You never tire of the Phuchkas, the Rolls, the variety of fishes, the curries, the sweets, do you? The modus operandi we employ to deal with our insatiable urge to ‘eat it all’ when at Kolkata, is by […]
