Al-Fassia - Windsor

Windsor is known for its rich heritage, and is home to the Royal family. Windsor is also known for its restaurants and mini theaters. Al-Fassia is one of many restaurants based in this small town.

It echos everything Moroccan, coming here is always a good experience. The food is always good, you have a few options, my favorite is the chicken tagine.

At Al-Fassia you will be welcomed and served by friendly and efficient staff, in an atmosphere that is comfortable and relaxed. A mixture of traditional low rise and conventional seating, North African crafts and tent-like drapes, give Al-Fassia a traditional feel.

Amaya-Knightsbridge

The month of Ramadhan is hurrying by very fast, nearly half way! For everyone reading this blog, please share your dining experiences so far. I have had issues with people trying to write messages, for some reason it is not being added.

To all the food lovers out there, I dined at Amaya restaurant/bar this month, it was an exquisite experience to say the least.

Me and my friends were taken to our seats, we were given a menu packed with all things delicious. We were to choose from each section, the food selection had its own timing, therefore ordering as you went on was key. The food was so mouth watering, we chose kebab, chicken chops (yes it exists), lamb chops, biryani etc. The food came in small quantities,but it was very filling!

Great place to dine with your partner or a small group of friends :)

Nawaabs-London

Nawaabs-London

Dining here in the month of Ramadhan is a great experience, it is a newly opened establishment in Greenford.

The venue is constantly busy, and it is very important to book in advance! There is a huge selection of indian dishes to choose from, and lets not forget the number of desserts which are available from traditional pakistani treats, gulab janam, to yummy English ice cream.

I believe this is the biggest Indian buffet i have ever been too, it is a great place to dine with friends and family.

The service is excellent, there is always someone ready to take your plates away while you indulge in more yummy food.

The only let down was the "butter chicken", I am a massive fan of this dish, and they did not cook it right! Its meant to be creamy with a hint of sweet, not oily!

Keep tuned for the next restaurant I visit this ramadhan!

SOUK Medina-Covent Garden (London)

I came across this treasure while walking in Covent garden, London. If you blink you will literally miss it. It is a Moroccan beauty, you will feel as if you have stepped into Marrakesh! Especially with its traditional decorations. 

 

 

The table lamps are hand crafted with henna painting, I found it rather sweet,as it gave a personal touch to the experience.

 

The food was great, you had a choice from traditional Moroccan dishes, including Tagines and mezze's 

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           

Whether you come here with friends or a partner, I recommend it!

Foodie Friday- Getting that holiday feeling!

 

Foodlovegrub has been through testing times, the mobile used to take pictures for the blog has still not been fixed. Totally missing updating and showing our amazing food pictures. 

It is Foodie Friday, and the show must go on, usually everything that is blogged is a place which has been visited and tested for you lovely lot.

 However just this once, we want to talk about the Bar/Restaurant that we wish to visit in the coming months! If you can guess this place, you will get brownie points!

Situated on the 27th floor, the space inside this restaurant/bar has been designed for intimate conversations, and a rotating line-up of live music, ensures the sights and sounds are as impressive as the beverages they shake up. Here, creating cocktails really is an art form.

We have heard nothing but great opinions about this place, I hope this is your spring/summer destination too!

Foodlovegrub fans are still staying true, we love having you visit the blog. To stay in touch on a regular basis, don't forget to click on the button above, "like" and "follow" us on Facebook and Twitter.
