Battling the summer heat and a long powercut in Shahpurjat, 3 of us had lunch the other day at Mykonos, a cute, refreshingly simple and natural Greek restaurant. Sonam had eaten there once before, but Asha and I were first timers. The restaurant is run by a Greek lady called …
Almost a year to the day from my first visit – a totally unplanned coincidence, by the way – I revisited The Potbelly in Shahpurjat with Sonam and Ahilya, a young friend visiting from Singapore. And what a pleasure it was to have lunch there again. No dip in standards, …
