A Latin American Restaurant in Kozhikode? – ‘Latin Street’
“I’ll have a ‘Filet Mignon’ Medium Rare please.” This isn’t something you’d get done right in Kozhikode especially when it comes to how you wanted your steak done. Served with a side of Bone Marrow? ‘Latin Street’ @latinstreetcalicut is a Latin American restaurant that gets them both right, serving wholesome Mexican food. I must say […]

The 1st ever ‘Pork Only’ Eatery in Kozhikode – PIGGYS
Imagine my surprise when I found out that there was a eatery in Calicut that served only ‘Pork Dishes’. Though you’ll find stores that sell fresh pork, this was the first time I’ve found a place exclusively for Pork Lovers in Kozhikode. @piggystakeaway Piggys started last year but only registered on my radar very recently […]

Soft Serve Paradise at ‘Branch Soft Serve’ – Dammam
Ordering an ice cream at ‘Branch Soft Serve‘ is not an easy task. The menu is in Arabic and the staff couldn’t explain the menu to us either. It would be great if they considered putting up an English menu but at the end of the day, the staff improvised and gave us samples to […]

With barely a few good ‘Family Friendly’ Kerala restaurant in Thoqbah, the opening of ‘Welcome Family Restaurant’ is quite welcome and necessary.

The Spicy Wing Challenge at ‘Buffalo Wild Wings’, Ajdan Walk – Khobar

‘With my Mate’ Combo Meal at ‘Butcher Shop & Grill’ – Khobar
It has been a while (3 years) since I last visited @butchershopar and honestly i’m ashamed of myself. The food has always been great and my love affairs with the ‘Butcher Shop & Grill’ goes way back to 2009 when I first visited them at their outlet in Bahrain City Center. Since then, I have […]

“Brisket” – BBQ Ribs, Al Khobar
Located in the Ulaya district of Khobar, @brisket_sa is one of the many joints that opened up over the last year. Serving up American style BBQ, they have a very simple menu with some burgers, brisket and Ribs. The waiter who took my order wasn’t the friendliest and looked least interested in being there. I […]

Home Cooked Kodava Cuisine at ‘Tiger Tiger Restaurant’ – Madikeri, Coorg
“Tiger Tiger” came highly recommended on @googlemaps as one of the top restaurants in Madikeri serving authentic “Kodava” cuisine. A bit tricky to spot from the main road, we had to wait till 1pm for the opening (Google Maps says 12.30). We were greeted by the friendly host and we chose to sit outdoors to […]

‘Tom Yum Goong Banglamphu’ – Khao San Road, Bangkok – 2nd Visit
This was my second visit to this famed street eatery in the heart of Khao San & Sareeka’s first experience with Thai food. I didn’t waste time and started ordering items off the menu, pointing at the pictures to make sure they understood what I wanted. You shouldn’t expect them to speak the language, so […]

The Best ‘Beef Noodle Soup’ at “Wattana Panich” – Bangkok

Where to go for “Burgers” in the Eastern Province, Saudi Arabia

I have lived in Saudi long enough to try different varieties of Mandi, both meat and chicken and the one mandi that I always fall back on is the irresistible “Mandi Waleema” (SR.105) from “Qateef Hospitality Palace”. No other place has gotten close to perfecting the meat & rice combination like they have. A lil’ […]

Eating Thai Food at ‘Thai House’, Al Khobar
Thai House Restaurant used to be a popular haunt for the expats living in the Khobar, Dammam area but it has since fallen on hard times. I used to frequent the restaurant while at school here but a lot has changed since then. The Thai owner Somchai, who had helped plan our family trip to […]

Eating at ‘Raya Restaurant’ Michellin Guide Fame – Phuket, Thailand
Another Mark Wiens recommended joint, Raya Restaurant is located in Phuket town and serves up some delicate & scrumptious Thai Sino dishes. Set in a renovated Sino-Thai mansion with a hint of Portuguese (or so I was told) this place feels more like home than a well-known restaurant. I had planned this visit well in […]
