Restaurant Review: Mamacita

What a brilliant lovely place in the heart of the city centre!
Abhi took me to this place earlier in July and we'll it turned out to be so good. I was craving Spanish/Mexican food and it seemed like my wish was granted when I had food here. We had some chicken tacos, chicken quesadillas, chicken soup and everything came in a sufficient portions with sides and yummy sauces.
The space is a problem there and one needs to make a reservation well in advance, why not, since the place is so happening!
To add to it, the ethnic picture of the lady with flowers in her hairs is so mesmerizing. 😍
Rating - 4/5.
How to get there - if you're in the city, just take a bus to Badanstalt or you can just walk up the place if you're at Hamilius.
Cheers!

Indian Restaurant Review - Taj Mahal

We tried this restaurant on the very first day when arrived in Luxembourg City. We landed on a Sunday and much to our surprise (read - shock for me) we could not find any shops open here. We came from a place where Sunday is the busiest day in markets and the streets are full of life and everybody is out partying. But when we came here, everything was plain, no sound of parties or people on the streets. Then our driver, the one who dropped us to our temporary apartment from the airport, informed us that life is chill here on a Sunday, people just relax, nobody is working and that we would only find a few restaurants open. On usual days as well, places, including supermarkets are shut by 6 pm, only a few are open till 8 and nothing is open on a Sunday. Yeah, I had read about that in blogs and the usual reviews about the country, seemed it was true! So yeah, I was kind of prepared for that.
So we reach our apartment and find an Indian guy there, luckily who helped us settle down and then asked us for a dinner, sure we couldn't refuse because we were super hungry. He suggested an Indian restaurant close by, and it is named, Taj Mahal.
Okay, so doesn't look like Taj Mahal, of course, and it's not even comparable to The Taj hotels in India, but the name was suggestive of the fact that they serve Indian food here.
So we went there at 8 and we were greeted warmly by the staff there. The food was amazing and we were able to cope with our few hours of homesickness!
They served pretty big naans (a type of Indian bread) and very delicious Chicken curry. The quantities were more than enough for two people. I'm skipping our new Indian vegetarian friend out of the chicken!
So yes, all in all a very good Indian restaurant near Gare station which serves pretty amazing and yummy food and you won't regret going there.

My rating - 3.5/5

Because the quantities of pakoras ordered were not worthy of the price charged for and plus the ambience. But yes, warm staff and good food!

Cheers! :)

Just arrived in Luxembourg

So here I am, after a long long time with loads of experiences and I must say that I am a completely different person than my last post.
But recently a major change happened in life, which is moving to Luxembourg. And that's pretty much the first time that I have moved out anywhere outside my home city or particularly country to stay independently.
So, the following posts are going to be my experiences in Luxembourg and the countries around.
It's been three weeks now since we, (me and my hubby - yes, I got MARRIED!! **Dancing**) moved here and I must say that it's a pretty bright country.
For those of you who don't have much about this place, it's a very small country located in the Central Europe, surrounded by Germany, France and Belgium on its either sides. That being said, the country has a beautiful combination of multi-lingual people and it welcomes you warmly to adapt to its culture. People here don't speak a lot of English since the common spoken languages here are French, German and of course, Luxembourgish!
Our experience has been mostly a beautiful one till now, although most of our time was spent in completing the moving formalities and looking for an apartment. However, there are some super bonhomie people here who made our stay very interesting.

Stay tuned for my next posts to know about the groceries and some reviews of the restaurants in Luxembourg.

Au revoir! :)
