Restaurant Review – Hawskmoor Seven Dials

The restaurant itself is beautifully decorated, setting the mood with such sophistication for any special occasion. The food is cooked to each individual taste, and it’s likely that you…

Restaurant Review – Hakkasan

Last Sunday Ankit and I took a trip to Hakkasan, a restaurant that I have been wanting to go to for AGES now. Every time I heard someone else going to this restaurant, it made me want to go there more and more. If you haven’t heard of Hakkasan, it’s a spectacular Michelin starred restaurant boasting a contemporary and upscale vibe to a Chinese restaurant.  Part of the Hakkasan Group, you will find restaurants located worldwide – namely Miami, Dubai, Las Vega, and London’s West End.
