Review of Punjab Indian Restaurant
30 Apr 08, 14:19
Indian Restaurant 
The food was of a uniformly high standard for this kind of restaurant. Of the starters, vegetable samosas were plump and flavourful, and pakora - onions cooked in chickpea batter - were crispy and light. Main courses were equally satisfying, fresh tasting and not swamped in heavy chemical-tinted sauces.

Review of Sarastro
30 Apr 08, 14:16
Generally Passable 
The 'Turkish-oriented' food was generally passable, with occasional items showing flickers or promise. The main courses were sensibly plain but lacking in originality. The Chicken Princess was essentially chicken breast with red wine sauce, was acceptable but far from majestic. The grilled halibut accented with mixed vegetables, was nicely cooked, nothing sapecial.

Review of Theatre Museum

English Theatre 
This nice museum is dedicated to the English Theatre's history, from the Tudor Age until the end of the last century. Anyway it hosts opera and ballet collections too. There is a wide exposure of costums, scenographies, paintings, manifests and others herilooms. I studied theatre in the past so I found this museum very interesting.

Burger...Ex...King
I had a bad experience in this Burger King. It's weird becasue my past experiences in these fast food were quite good. Unfortunatly I found dirty tables, filthy toilets, long queue and finally, food had bad taste (it seemed to eat the food of the day before!). I ate so quickly to escape from this fast food to come back home to eat good pasta!!!!

Review of The Ivy

Ivy
I knew this restaurant because I read that famous people used to come here sometimes, so I was curious. There's good menú and a lively but private atmosphere. At the beginning I was a little bit threatened because i didn't know I could be the atmosphere. After a while I could see that the staff was very friendly with everyone, without any difference between famous people and not famous people. It's a really nice place.

Review of The National Gallery

One Day Is Not Enough
The Art Galleries are always though-provoking. This is one of the most ancient and interesting musum of the whole world. Infact the National Gallery is the most visited destination in London by tourists. I suggest to go to this museum more than once because it' s impossible to see everything in one time. There are so many things to see that one day is not enough.

Review of Hermitage Rooms Shop

Hermitage Rooms to Give
This shop is well furnished. It offers products about the exhibition as pictures of Catherine's personality and the luxury with which she surrounded herself and her favourites. It includes books, bags, posts, pens, house objects and every kind of souvenir that it's nice to take home or to give. I find that this shop could solve some porblems to the tourists who are looking for some presents.

Review of The London Transport Museum

Transport's Rules
This a an unexpected funny museum that tells how London transports changed through time. The museum preserves and illustrates documents and objects that deals with the urban transport's history. I think that one of the most interesting attractives are the interactive exhibition. If you pass by Covent Garden go to visit this museum!
