Khandela Haveli Hotel Jaipur review

Image
Khandela Haveli is a beautiful place to stay in when visiting Jaipur, its beauty inherent in its architectural style which accurately replicates that of the traditional style of Rajasthan's havelis (mansions.) There are more than 20 rooms, including a few suites, each with its own distinctive décor and furnishings. 

Dining at Lakshmi Misthan Bhandar restaurant - a review

Image
One of the most highly rated dining places in Jaipur, Rajasthan is the Lakshmi Misthan Bhandar restaurant, known by its acronym LMB. It is on the ground floor of the hotel of the same name, but it is the restaurant and not the hotel itself which is well known and popular. In case you are trying to locate it, all you need to do is ask for LMB restaurant or LMB sweet shop and the locals will promptly know which place you are referring to. LMB restaurant, Jaipur serves only vegetarian food. Whether you want to feast on local street food such as chaats and tikkis or have an elaborate traditional Rajasthani thali , come hungry to this place and leave with a satisfied burp! Don't forget, though, to keep some tummy space for the mouth watering sweet stuff from their mithai shop.

Visiting the Colombo Centre Mall Lisbon - main attractions

Image
Planning to visit the Centro Colombo shopping mall in Lisbon, Portugal? There's more than meets the eye at the Colombo Centre Mall than glitzy shops and fine dining restaurants - the interiors of the mall itself!  Brace your neck to look up to the soaring domed roof, swivel it around the magnificent spread of the interior layout in general and drop it to look at the mosaic floors.  You will be impressed by the contemporary architectural style, credited to architect José Quintela da Fonseca, which at the same time retains the old world charm of the era of wonderful explorations & discoveries. You will see quaint names of streets of a bygone past amidst familiar names of contemporary branded products and services in the shops and fine dining areas.

Fine Dining at Restaurant 29 in Mumbai, India - a review

Image
When visiting Mumbai, Maharastra, India instead of dining out at restaurants serving Italian, Chinese or Mexican food, you would be well advised to try out the varied cuisines of India.  Head to Restaurant 29 in a group to savour the delectable vegetarian delights of the 29 States of India. You will also be delighted with the service - quick, non-intrusive, helpful. Hands-down, one of the best services we've had in a restaurant! You can also get a complimentary sweet dish - won't tell you how, as that would be spoiling the fun!

First off, let me tell you about its location.

We had a wonderful two nights stay at Vilanova Service Apartments, located in Shirvodem, Margao Goa. It is managed by Jovito Fernandes.  We found it very economical and conveniently located, as mentioned here . We booked a 2BHK service apartment to accommodate three of us comfortably.
