Please forgive me for the graininess of the photos. I did not have my camera and I had to borrow my cousin’s Sony point and shoot camera. I have no idea what the model is, but I do know that it is an old camera (3-4 yrs old) and it does not take good pictures in in low-lighting scenarios as compared to the Canon ones. It’s not me being bias, it’s just in my personal experience.
My three co-workers and I have planned this unique experience to go dine at Devi for quite sometime now. After reading an article on the New York Times I was suddenly interested to go and suggested to my co-workers to go. To my advantage, two of my co-workers are Indian and one of them had been there before. The one who has dined at this restaurant agreed that this is a great restaurant and that the food is phenomenon even for a person like me who isn’t really a fan of Indian cuisine.
Did I mention that this restaurant received a Michelin Star? For those of you that don’t know, Michelin Guide [Travel Publications], hire a team of professional food critics who goes to restaurants as an undercover and review restaurants based on a set of criteria that they have. Now according to the Michelin Guide:
The star symbols judge only what’s on the plate, meaning the quality of products, the mastering of flavors, mastering of cooking, personality of the cuisine, value for the money and the consistency of what the restaurant offers to its customers both throughout the menu and the year.
- One star indicates a very good restaurant in its category, a good place to stop on your journey.
- Two stars denote excellent cuisine, worth a detour, with specialties and wines of first-class quality.
- Three stars reward exceptional cuisine, worth a special journey, where diners eat extremely well, often superbly. The wine list features generally outstanding vintages and the surroundings and service are part of this unique experience, which is priced accordingly.
In addition to the awarding of stars, the Michelin Guide provides a written description of each locale and a variety of other symbols to give readers further insight into an establishment’s ambiance, type of cuisine and specialties, and wine list, among other factors. In addition, the guide provides a comfort rating represented by the use of one to five forks and spoons for restaurants and one to five pavilions for hotels. These symbols take into consideration the decor, service, cleanliness and upkeep of the surroundings.
Now enough of that, let me show you my dining experience at Devi.

What better way to celebrate Valentine’s Day weekend then by hitting it up to Hooters? I personally have never been to this establishment before, but I’ve always heard good things from my friends and I absolutely knew that I have to try. Some of my female friends tell me that their wings are amazing, while the guys tell me that you don’t go there for the food. Who knows, it could be a combination of both but regardless, this is an adventure that I have to go to find out for myself.
