Jewel of Nizam - The Minar (Hyderabad)

A lavish restaurant that flatters to deceive This is the first post in my restaurant review sojourn and I decided to start with Jewel of Nizam, a restaurant I visited with my wife and a group of friends in 2019. We'd read a bit about the restaurant in the past, especially its construction and decided to go one day. Restaurant Location The restaurant is located within the premises of the Golconda resort with a brilliant view of the the Gandipet lake nearby. The construction is unique in the sense that it sits on top of a tower, a concept still largely alien to India. We went there for lunch and the royal feeling associated with the restaurant was there for us all to see. The view from the restaurant was awesome too overlooking the Gandipet lake with exquisitely set tables and cutlery.

The restaurant has a set menu for ve...

Namaste - Indian restaurant in Belo Horizonte

An excellent option for Indian food in Belo Horizonte, Brazil On a long business trip to Belo Horizonte last year, Namaste was the first of the Indian restaurants I got a chance to visit. Considering the duration of the stay, it was relieving to know Belo has a few Indian restaurants.  Restaurant Location Namaste is located on the main road in the Prado area and is rather easy to find. Situated about 2 km away from Mercado Central, Namaste is an ideal place to go for Indian food lovers after shopping spree in Mercado. Namaste Entrance Ambience Starting with the restaurant itself, there's isn't much to write home about the place or ambience . It is rather small and almost full capacity both times I visited. They did have a TV though that ran videos of Bollywood dance songs non-stop. While there was nothing new for me in it, some of the locals including my office colleagues there did kinda enjoy watching the dance moves while having their food. Brazilian Weigh & Pay System...

Wedding Anniversary at The Trident, Hyderabad

On the eve of our 3rd wedding anniversary in December 2020, Minal and myself were weighing our options to celebrate the occasion given the pandemic was showing signs of slowing in India but was still a threat nevertheless. We knew from the outset that a vacation which included travel wasn't a good idea but with Hyderabad witnessing a steep decline in the number of new COVID-19 cases recorded each day, we decided to spend the anniversary at a luxury accomodation in Hyderabad itself. We started looking at some resorts but none of them was appealing enough forcing us to look at luxury hotels. After reading about multiple hotels, their facilities and safety measures, we zeroed in on The Trident. Illustrative image of The Trident from Google Image search The choice became easier as the hotel made our third night's stay complimentary on booking 3 nights. And with that, we were set for our mini vacation of sorts. Arrangements for our stay As we arrived at Trident, the safety measur...
