Advantages: It works
Disadvantages: I can't guarantee how long it will stay so lovely

Not So Happy Memories Once upon a time, any traveller arriving in India was hit instantly by culture shock the moment they stepped off the plane; the airports were dreadful. Whilst I used to enjoy the exotic scent of joss-sticks, it was harder to tur ... Read review

The carpet did give me a bit of a headache after a long flight plus an unscheduled 2 hour stop in Nagpur due to unseasonable fog in Delhi. Baggage was still taking a silly amount of time in late 2010 but the domestic side was also shiny and new by then. I know it's mad but I do kind of miss the old "Indianness" of the airport by BristolBud

I can not believe you would not walk out of a restaurant as you seem so confident and self assured. Give it a go next time you find it crap so maybe it will buck them up a level or two. I do enjoy the way you described it and would avoid this one like the plague. by garymarsh86

Now you've told the world just how bad they are, walking out if you find yourself there by mistake should be easy. It's not like they'll really want you to be there. Lx by hiker
