Cringing, craving, bingeing, braving... you always have an opinion on what's hot and what's not in your city and we just love to hear it. Besides, there's no better place to satiate that itch to bitch!

it was in one of my business visit to Hyderabad, where i got to stay at Ista Hotel at Gachibowli. Coincidentally, It was the time when the hotel was hosting a Goa Food Festival. I was really impressed by the concept and the buffet spread which had traditional and most popular culinary delicacies of Goa like the Vindaloo, Caldine curry and others.
