If you follow me on Instagram you’ll know I spent last weekend in Manchester celebrating Pride. If you don’t follow me on Instagram you’re one of the lucky ones.. believe me. While I had a lovely time (I’m fat, exhausted and still finding glitter everywhere) I struggled to get back into the whole cooking for […]
It was sort of bittersweet that I ended up losing my Itihaas virginity on the same day a spicy soup exploded in my (expensive, suede) work handbag. I arrived at the restaurant with a faint whiff of cumin about me (it’s always mildly disconcerting when a restaurant’s waiting area smells fresher than you) and had […]
I have a longstanding love affair with Asian cuisine and more specifically Thai food; this stems from my university days in Leicester. I had naff all money to my name at 19 – largely due to a fondness for snakebite and Lambert & Butler – but whatever I could rustle up from my part time […]
There’s a handful of restaurants in Birmingham that need little introduction, and Lasan most certainly falls into that category. Launched in 2002 by Jabbar Khan, the Indian restaurant – part of the Lasan Group that includes Fiesta del Asado, Nosh & Quaff and Raja Monkey Cafe – has recently undergone a £500,000 refurbishment.

The latest ‘Indian streetfood’ style restaurant to pop up in Birmingham city centre, Tamatanga is the new sibling of the award-winning restaurant […]
Siamais Brindleyplace is a lovely spot for dinner. Despite being an almost married woman now, let it be known I went on my fair share of dates when I was a Single Sally. Oh yes! I was quite the expert as it goes and even wrote a weekly blog about my experiences trying to find […]
There were two main reasons why I was excited to be invited to celebrate the birthday of Umami Indian Kitchen recently. Firstly because I have heard great things about Umami Indian Kitchen, and secondly because I love Indian food. Like, I really do love it. So when I arrived at the Harborne restaurant one sunny […]
Pushkar on Broad Street I love the Indian food at Pushkar on Broad Street. The food and service are always outstanding, and despite being in a part of Brum that many of us choose to avoid (Saturday nights on Broad St are pretty grim unless you’re single and 18, let’s be honest) the restaurant looks […]
One thing you know about me, if you’ve ever met me in real life, is that I absolutely love Indian food; more specifically I like spicy Indian food. Before I met my dear fiance and I was a single lady, my idea of a great night wasn’t going on dates to posh restaurants, but ordering […]
