As a self-proclaimed Indian cuisine aficionado and connoisseur, having lived briefly in India and visited numerous Indian restaurants around the world, my recent visit to Gymkhana in London blew every other Indian dining experience out of the water! This place isn’t just good; it’s two Michelin-starred, mind-blowing, and easily the best Indian food I’ve ever had.

As a Nigerian-American (with an emphasis on Nigerian) foodie who’s been lucky enough to dine at numerous Michelin-starred restaurants around the world, my recent visit to history-making Chishuru felt like a culinary homecoming.

I had always wanted to visit the historic and unique city of Istanbul, and fly on Turkish Airlines to experience their legendary in-flight dining experience. So, when I stumbled upon what seemed like an irresistible deal for a seat in business class, I seized the opportunity and booked the flight on a whim. Although I was expecting their new business class product, I had a pleasant surprise in store for me.
