Quetta Alamgir Hotel is the perfect place to have divine lachaydaar parathay and doodh-patti chai.
The place is clean but very simple - with most patrons preferring to order (and enjoy) their food in their vehicles. That is exactly what you should do too!!
Verdict: Highly Recommended
Food/ Quality - 5/5
Location/ Ambiance - 2/5
Price (Value for Money) - 5/5

Bad Coffee | Recommended as a Cafe | Avoid If Looking for Good Coffee
————— Detailed Review Below —————
Brown Bean Coffee is a local, home grown chain of Sri Lankan coffee shops. The chain serves coffees, teas, and an assortment of baked goods.
The chain offers a great local alternative to foreign chains like Starbucks (not in SL) or Barista (in SL). However, if like me, you are looking for specialty coffee (or a Third Wave Coffee) then you’re likely to be disappointed.
I ordered their flat white and was very disappointed (too much milk — too little coffee).
Verdict: Recommended if looking for a local cafe; avoid if looking for specialty coffee.

Hakkasan Dubai is a fabulous Michelin-star Chinese restaurant located inside the Atlantis Hotel. The restaurant is renowned for its pan-asian dishes.
Founded in London, the chain has established a reputation for itself across the world through its excellent food and service.
Unfortunately though, this particular location does not live up to the standards I have experienced elsewhere, notably their Abu Dhabi location.
The food is still good and the overall package is enjoyable but I left this location slightly let down.
We had
1. Jasmine Tea Smoked Wagyu Beef Ribs - 9/10 - absolutely melting in your mouth
2. Grilled Chilean Seabass with Organic Honey - 7/10 (was much better in Abu Dhabi!)
3. Rock Shrimp XO Fried Rice - 7/10
4. Jasmine Lover - 4/10
Verdict: recommended.
Food/ Quality - 4/5
Location/ Ambiance - 4/5 (too dark and loud)
Price (Value for Money) - 3/5
Service - 5/5
Others 5/5 (Michelin Star 🙂)

Decent Food | Stunning Location | Recommended
— Detailed Review Below —
Decent Lebanese restaurant in the Mayfair area in Central London with an absolutely amazing location, ambiance, and setting. Sadly for it though, it is located in an area awash with outstanding choices/competition when it comes to Lebanese food, with very good options in Mayfair, and Edgware Road - with its abundance of riches In Lebanese restaurants - just around the corner.
Their starters are par for the course but the grills don’t match up with the lamb kofta, in particular, overcooked.
Verdict: Recommended if you’re staying at the hotel and don’t to walk; otherwise, find yourself one of the truly amazing Lebanese restaurants the area offers.

London Stansted Airport is a sad and depressing budget airport in which cost-savings are prioritized above everything - quality, convenience and customer experience.
From the check-in experience to the security screenings and the boarding experience, everything is done rudely and roughly, with no concern for user experience.
My own experience was smooth enough given I was flying with no handbags but I felt sorry for other travelers (including parents) who were having to deal with the attitudes of a frustrated, probably underpaid workforce that couldn’t care less for customer opinions, experience, and feedback.
