Matteo Coffea – My New Hangout

I walked in with great hopes for Matteo Coffea and I was not disappointed. It has an excellent ambiance which, in spite of it’s large rectangular layout, doesn’t feel too exposed or open.

Angeethi – Museum Inn, Church Street

The ambiance was nice and very low light, which made it difficult to take proper photos. We sat down at a table for six and ordered a hara bhara kabab, dal makhani, kadai sabz and a couple of naans (all in photos).

Noodle Bowl

Initially, I thought of just ordering a lime soda but then I read the description for ‘Walk to the Wok’ and was intrigued. I have been to countless buffets but nothing quite like this one before.
