It's a cool place to eat you feel like royalty. The way the waiters wait at the edge of the room so they all come at once is great.
India was fucking terrible.
I hope Indian food in London is better than Indian food in India.
I’m exaggerating. It really wasn’t that terrible. Had a great time whenever I was off work. Went to a quite a few little neat spots. Chadni chowk(sp?) was always fun, qutab Minaj was breathtaking, and there were a few other temples/landmarks worth visiting. Food was okay, only one spot was truly memorable.
Just not a location I would recommend to anyone if they’re gonna pay out of their own pockets. Quality of life is terrible, humidity reeked of just straight swamp ass, and multiply whatever tourist trap you’ve been to times ten for some of the more popular locations. I’m used to dudes and little kids constantly trying to sell you shit at these kinds of locations, but this was literally them bombarding you until them to fuck off. One of them even tried to pick pocket my coworker lol.
India stands for I'll Never Do It Again in the data services business.
Assuming you’re going to London here’s my restaurant list strictly 4 the homies.
Barrafina – don’t take bookings; two locations – worth the wait
Social Eating House – cocktail bar on top called The Blind Pig
Nopi – Chef is super famous
Dishoom – best Indian – many locations, lunch bookings
Amaya is high end Indian – booking well in advance
Kensington Square Kitchen – breakfast
Bandol – Chelsea
Hollywood Arms – across from Bandol in Chelsea – one of the best pubs
The River Café – Jamie Oliver’s original restaurant – expensive and hard to get in, but worth
Kricket – such good Indian food
Fucina - in Marlybone, Italian
Pergola –need a booking, underground, pop-ups
Lanes of London - great for breakfast and high tea
Since this thread popped up - my friends and I are trying to plan a mini (like 4 night) vacation for my wedding party sometime in September. My roommate just got back from Mexico City and is trying to push it on us, and she's making some good arguments. I have enough hilton points to literally get the best room at the best hotel they have for free (which would be like 2 nights anywhere else) and everything else seems stupid cheap.
Thoughts?
Where you flying from to get to MEX?
strictly 4 the homies, that's exactly what's good. thanks famven
I like the Sunday roast idea too, we might be early enough and can prioritize that.
So far we've made the Cotswolds (Bourton-on-the-Water), Peak District (Leek, Buxton, Glossop), Lake District (Windermere, Glenridding), Hadrians wall (Haltwhistle), and arrived in York tonight.
We'll walk the York city centre in the morning and then drive across the Midlands again tomorrow - we have time for Dover (pushing it) or the south coast but not both. What do you think?
We had pub grub in Bourton and had to chat about Trump, a picnic in Glossop, date-night-worthy Indian food in Windermere, which felt not so dissimilar to Aspen or Breckenridge, and then leftover Indian food at Hadrians wall.
Going to Toronto for a couple days in early September. Staying in the entertainment district. Going to jays games, lake stuff/ Niagara Falls. Any recommendations for other things?

How to avoid bag getting left in Atlanta during international layover?
Getting to germany last year without my shit was EXTREMELY FUN AND NOT STRESSFUL. I've at least learned to pack more stuff into my backpack and they gave me $100 for my trouble but I absolutely do not want that to happen again. They said it was because it was an 8hr layover and I should have left the terminal to get my bag and then re-checked it 6 hrs later after sitting in baggage claim for hours?
The flight im looking at this time is only a 1hr 56min layover, do I still need to get my bag from baggage claim or will they route it correctly?
