Enjoyed a bit of a feast at Wagamama in the O2 Centre recently, partly due to the generous vouchers sent to Diner HQ, and partly due to sheer greed. With enthusiasm to give the menu a decent examination, three of … Continue reading →

Tom’s Big Bombay Night(s) Out

West Hampstead Life Posted on August 29, 2014 by Tom VanheemsJanuary 16, 2017

I’ll eat a nice, hot curry anytime, including on a humid summer evening. So, to Bombay Nights in Fortune Green for some more local eating adventures… First to note, the website could be confusing, especially for those travelling on (or … Continue reading →
