Belgravia, Lebanon and India

A colleague who had works on my previous project was visiting London this week. As he also happened to be a vegetarian, my former team mates in London commissioned me to help entertain him for the evening, and pick somewhere suitable to eat. So I decided to go to the ever reliable Noura, not too far from my office, wherein a very respectable assortment of vegetarian mezze is available. Several people came along in the end, and I introduced a few new people to my favourite foul moudamas (fava bean stew) and the delights of Lebanese coffee.

After dinner I took our guest on a brief tour of Belgravia pubs featuring many of the usual suspects - the Horse and Groom, the Grenadier and the Nag's Head.

We talked a lot about India a lot during the course of the evening (my colleague is originally from there) and it really perked my interest in going there. I think I mainly just love the idea of being in a country where, at least in some regions, vegetarianism is actually the norm. Plus Banaglore sounds like quite an exciting city to visit for the nightlife etc.
