Villa Maya - an enchanting dining experience

Villa Maya, a fine dining place in Trivandrum, envelopes you with tranquility as you enter.  This place has spoiled me with its aesthetic ambience, classical architecture, fountains, excellent food and service. Every nook and corner, especially the outdoor area is mesmerizing. The stone archway, outdoor pavilions surrounded by pond, ancient lamps and stone sculptures are just a few highlights of this beautiful restaurant. As you enter you are cut off from the city chaos and you are welcomed by the serenity of this place. This three-storeyed restaurant is converted from a residence of a Kerala queen which was originally called the Amma Veedu and it has managed to restore its finesse, comfort and elegance. I had a feast with my camera as I was given a guided tour of this enchanting property...

The menu is carefully crafted …. They have a range of authentic Kerala cuisine twisted with a contemporary touch with excellent presentation.  And the menu also includes international cuisine and drool worthy desserts!

Sit back, have a cup of coffee and have a look at these pictures that gives you a royal era Zen feel to this place...  Enjoy the virtual tour!

Will definitely go back to try out their other signature dishes


If you ever visit Trivandrum, please make sure you visit Villa Maya to experience the food and the serenity of this place.

Shakespeare and Co.: A Victorian Styled Cafe-Restaurant

Last weekend I spent an evening at a beautiful Chic cafe-restaurant called Shakespeare and Co. It’s a UAE-based chain located at The Wave Muscat and has a great view of Almouj Marina. And what attracted me the most, other than the diverse menu was the Victorian style decor. Everything in the cafe was uniquely styled and vintage, adorned with beautiful lamp shades, curtains, vintage sofas and chairs. I just couldn’t stop admiring and feeling the Victorian ambience.


Love the Menu

360 Degrees

360 degrees is a great fine dining place started here in Oman and I was so bowled by the ambience and interiors. As you enter you can see the theme reflected in the seating arrangement and the design of the dining area is well spread out and on different levels. There have two outdoor lounges for Sheesha with spectacular view. And their food is good and they have the best Sushi in town. I have heard a lot about their Live Teppanyaki that will take you to the next level and that’s next in my agenda. Click here to access their website.
