Not every new restaurant deserves your time. This one does — and it will tell you exactly why from the moment you walk through the door. Behind every great restaurant is a story someone couldn't let go of. At Roxie and Barry, thirty years of patience finally found its room. Rajeev Mokashi, Co-founder, TheGlitzMedia, went to find out why.
Punjab landed on MG Road the night I walked into Oye Kake, and dinner at Eight-Four-O has never felt more like a celebration. Amritsari soul, phulkari walls, a live tandoor and lassis that deserved their own curtain call — Bengaluru's vegetarian dining scene just got a generous, flavour-packed Amritsari addition.

Oasis Brewery on a Sunday afternoon is the kind of place that makes you forget you have anywhere else to be.

On International Tea Day, the humble chai break gets its moment — and it turns out this small, unhurried pause from screens may be doing more for your eyesight than any wellness product you have ever bought.
We live in what Dr. Himanshu Mehta, senior ophthalmologist at ASG The Vission Eye Center, calls a phygital world, where the physical and digital have become so tangled that stepping away takes a conscious effort.

Mavitrra's Bindu Sharma didn't set out to compete with fast fashion or legacy jewellers. She built it around something different: bespoke diamond jewellery in India that's personal, intentional, and built to last.
