My favorite anyway, because you get to try so many dishes at once!

16 days of traveling through Rajasthan and some of the worst experiences of my life left me scarred and full of antibodies against anything having remotely to do with India. Native aparthotels are a totally new way to stay. Honestly, it wasn’t that I have never been a fan of Indian food, I just never gave it a chance. Because I have never been a fan of Indian cuisine I was prepared to order plain white bread Naan and get it over with quickly.īut boy, was I wrong. The first time I had lunch at Dishoom in Shoreditch, I reluctantly gave in to my cousins’ recommendation.
