On Monday evening I attended the 50th anniversary of Gaylord Restaurant. Located in the West End, it is a popular Indian restaurant.

As we walked towards the entrance I could see there was a red carpet and champagne on offer. Something I wasn’t expecting as I arrived in the clothes I had worn at work half an hour before! Nonetheless, I still posed for the photographer at the event! Ha-ha!

The owners speech was truly inspiring. To successfully run a business for 50 years is an enormous accomplishment! The evening flowed, with waiters serving platters of food to all within an energetic atmosphere. It was a thoroughly enjoyable evening.

If you are a fan of quality Indian food, then I highly recommend visiting Gaylord Restaurant.

 

In celebration of my 21st birthday, myself and my best friend went for lunch at the Ivy Chelsea Garden on Kings Road. Oozing sophistication within a relaxed atmosphere, it lived up to its reputation.

Lunch was booked for 12:15, however, after a slight issue with the train, we were fashionably late! We were taken to our seats as soon as we arrived and presented with our cocktail choice The Ivy Garden Royale within five minutes. Service was impeccable throughout.

We ordered the Chicken Milanese and Roast Duck Breast with a side of olive oil mashed potato. It was truly scrumptious and I would highly recommend the duck! For dessert, we decided to go next door to Nell’s, a café and tea room. Witnessing their display of mouth-watering cakes in the shop window, we agreed we had to stop by before we headed home. If you decide to have dessert at the Ivy, then I would opt for the chocolate bomb I devoured the last time I visited.

That was just the start of my birthday celebrations and long may they continue! Surely I can celebrate the big 21 for at least a month right!?
