My affair with Fratelli started in university when I was in 2nd year and we discovered the new Cafe Fratelli that had opened right next to The Waldorf Hilton close to The LSE. 3 years down the line, there seems to be one in every corner of London. Sloane Square, Bond Street, Berkeley Square and it [...]

The Mandarin Oriental Bar!
Mainly known in London for its most fashionable cocktails, I have happened to be there a lot of days mainly for meetings and of course, to keep myself going, their coffees! If you are looking for a semi relaxed yet formal environment, The Bar is the perfect place to go especially with the central location [...]
Coffee Planet next to home!
I spent the last couple of my days home in Islamabad trying out absolutely every possible restaurant/coffee place. F-11 Markaz (literally 2 mins away from my house) is possibly going to be the next hub of coffee places and hangouts in Islamabad with Zafferano's, Tutti Frutti, Gloria Jeans and now, Dubai's Coffee Planet opening up [...]

I began drinking coffee when I was 15 or so and the only 'good' coffee I had tried thus far was from McDonolads or Pappasalis and a few other cafes in Islamabad. My first encounter with Starbucks was at the age of ten when I had watched You’ve Got Mail and the characters’ obsession with [...]
Chai!
Tea drinking is a central activity to Pakistani households but until recently Islamabad was lacking a location where you could relax, sit back and enjoy a selection of teas. Chaaye Khana located in Central Islamabad is an ideal place to go and enjoy a genuine cup of chai. The ambience resembles one's TV Lounge with [...]

Coffees in St James!
It may be random to go and try coffees at hotels, but its all about the service and the ambience! The Stafford in St James Serves amazing coffee! A must try for those who want to enjoy a scenic coffee! And did I mention, they do amazing Edible Afternoon Teas!
Why ‘Luxury’ Shouldn’t be seen as a negative word!
It does sound very pretentious at times when you speak of the luxury industry of London but it is a very strong part of what London is about. Working on the 5ive Star London project has been for me a great experience in not just uncovering the luxury brands of London but also the hidden [...]
