Located at: 48D Park Street, Colombo 02, Sri Lanka Visited on: 15 Sep, 2018 Having recently opened its doors in Colombo, Chambers – located on twinkling, bustling Park Street – has a simple but cosy set-up with a few well-selected colourful décor that light up the rustic-ish interior. The cuisine is Maghrebi (Northwestern African)-Arabic, so to…

Caramel Pumpkin (Part 02)
Located at: 38 Ward Place, Colombo 07, Sri Lanka Visited on: 12 Sep, 2018 I had already tasted a couple of dishes from here before, so I thought of trying out a few new things this time. However, I did stick with the delicious beverage that I (thoroughly) enjoyed on my first visit – The…
Dolce Italia (Part 02)
Located at: 5 Skelton Road, Colombo 05, Sri Lanka Visited on: 04 Sep, 2018 Visiting again after a while, I thought of trying something other than pizza this time. But first, I needed to rehydrate – a Lime and Mint fresh juice (LKR 400) was my choice. I like the fact that they prepare this without…
Café Sociale
Located at: 252A Galle Road, Colombo 04, Sri Lanka Visited on: 21 Jul, 2018 This place had been popping up on my newsfeeds for a while and I was quite curious to try it out. So off we went on a smoulderingly hot afternoon to fill our bellies. The first thing that strikes you about…
The Dubai Diaries: PAUL @ Deira City Center
Located at: 8th Street, Dubai, United Arab Emirates Visited on: 07 May, 2018 Yes, I don’t usually review restaurant chains. However, this international French bakery / pâtisserie / café / restaurant is certainly no fast-food chain and in fact borders on a sort of relaxed gourmet style. Their Parisian influenced ambiance and uniforms are eye-catching (cue…
The Dubai Diaries: Shakespeare and Co. @ The Dubai Mall
Located at: Financial Center Road, Downtown Dubai, United Arab Emirates Visited on: 01 May, 2018 I have passed this place by several times in the past, and always thought of it as an ‘English Afternoon Tea’ sort of spot. Such is the cute, old-English style décor. However, a stop at the place on this particular…
The Dubai Diaries: Bestoon Samad @ Al Ghurair Center
Located at: Al Rigga Street, Dubai, United Arab Emirates Visited on: 14 Apr, 2018 We thought of checking out this (relatively) new Iraqi restaurant while we were in town. The fifth branch of the Samad Group Restaurants and the first outside of Iraq, the interior of this place has been designed to reflect the authenticity…
Chutneys @ Cinnamon Grand (Part 02)
Located at: 77 Galle Road, Colombo 03, Sri Lanka Visited on: 29 Mar, 2018 Ahoy there, vegetarians! Here’s one for you. This is my second review of Chutneys, and this time it’s all veg. There are a few overlapping choices from the last time – the Ulundu Vadai (LKR 400 for a set of three…
Mainland China
Located at: 8 Flower Road, Cinnamon Gardens, Colombo 07, Sri Lanka Visited on: 26 Mar, 2018 There has been quite a buzz about this place since it opened a branch on the island recently. I’ve been seeing eye-catching and appetising pictures on social media, and so was excited to pop in for lunch while passing…
Schákàsz Dessert Bar
Located at: 56 Stratford Avenue, Colombo 06, Sri Lanka Visited on: 15 Mar, 2018 This place should have been named ‘The Devil in Disguise’. For no matter how strong your will might be, Schákàsz will inevitably and most definitely tempt you into some form of indulgence. I was first introduced to the unconventional name when a…
