Diamond Adventures in India

The Taj Hotel
Here is a shot of the +100 year old Palace section that we stay in. There is a new glass tower style next door to the right – but the old part has lovely high ceilings.

The plate of a mostly devoured meal was at Trishna - the most amazing fish restaurant – masala (like Chiken tikka) flavored calamari and a piece of Skewered Pomfrit fish (like a fat flounder) cooked in a butter black pepper in a tandor oven. We went back 3 times in a week for these same 2 dishes (and giant prawns and crab). It is a 15 minute walk from the Hotel. There is also a fab Lebonese place on the top of the new tower :)



Some of the paintings and sculpture in the Taj Mahal Bombay hotel passages and on our floor. We were very impressed with the art in Delhi too.
