        Well worth it!
        We partook in the evening cookery class with Mr Singh and his chef. This was a highlight of our trip and our teenage son was really looking forward to this experience. We first set off to the vegetable and spice markets so learn about the foods used in our dishes and where they came from, negotiating the Jaipur traffic which was an experience in itself! We then took a short Tuk Tuk ride back to the homestay, where we cooked up dishes and then partook in a meal of our dishes. This was a really insightful and pleasant evening which we enjoyed immensely.

        Unimaginable structures and systems
        The views and the structure was amazing and jaw dropping. 112 feet shiva Statue is one of the 8 wonders in terms of tallest structures and top 2 amongst Asia. Beware of the crowds and avoid going during Purnima or deepa deewali or Kartik Deepa festival season It was flooded with people coming from all over India for preparing for malai

        Indulgent high tea
        Best high tea ever! Great way to while away your last few hours in Delhi before getting the overnight train. There are hot and cold savoury options as well as at least 20 cakes to choose. It’s served buffet style.

        Review of RumFish
        We went to Rum Fish and the food was excellent, even though the menu was limited due to the Hurricane. Patrick our server was great along with the other staff. They thanked us numerous times for coming in.

        Scam!
        This tour is grossly overpriced and I am requesting a partial refund. The mangrove is nothing but a tourist trap with no wildlife and polluted water. The guide had very basic English and didn’t have much to say at all. It was a long and boring day not to mention a complete rip off. The only good part is the temple. You can easily take a Uber there for very little money. I am not only disappointed but outraged at the cost.

        Dakshin at Hotel Sheraton
        We went to Hotel Dakshin and are our favorite South Indian cuisine at restaurant Dakshin. It's our favorite and the best south Indian cuisine in New Delhi. The mutton chops were so render, chicken stew was yummilicious. Madam halwa is blissful and ended with our south Indian coffee. Darshan served us and provided us impeccable service as alwayz. We thoroughly enjoyed our food, ambience and service was just perfect. Sudhir took care of us too very well. Compliments to Chef Solomon was coming such delicious dishes.😋 Pooja

        Dont go Dont try
        A restaurant this size and bigger expectations fails on most counts Lets start with their reservations well the take pride in no reservation, but the truth is there are special people seated who have had a backdoor reservation I get a corner sest after a 30 min wait, and boy, i realise the absolute doldrums that the cleanliness is in. My upholstery was dirty, and so were the surrounding walls floor. Ehh I ordered the lamb kebab, the chick tandoori, their acclaimed bukhare dal, and some breaks. The lamb was a disaster. Never eaten something so bad. It was like beaten black and blue and yet left uncooked. The chicken was dry chewy flavourless. The dal was very avaerage and lacked any punch. The staff is courteous though doling out these dished in batches and quickly. Even a catering food would be better. Never again and wudnt even advise a try.
