Blurb: Eat your way to health Cuisine: healthy food, regional Indian Atmospherics: The best part about Fab Café is the absolute fit it has with Fab India.

Indian Molecular Blurb: Molecular gastronomy for Indian food goes well with wine and can be fun too Atmospherics: Four and a half months old and it is one of Cyber Hub’s more crowded restaurants.

American style pizzas Blurb: Great pizzas in unassuming surroundings Intro: A neighbourhood market has pizzas and salads that are worth travelling far to sample Atmospherics: This is where Fat Lulu’s disappoints. The furniture is like a government school: wooden chairs with not a shred of comfort. Industrial strength lighting more suited to a factory. Rather…
Cuisine: Burgers and shakes Intro: Yet another import from the US of A Atmospherics: An acquaintance has an interesting theory. “Cyber Hub has such a great vibe that you feel you’re in a foreign country anyway.

Tremendous value for money Serves Indian, grills, western, oriental Atmospherics: In a mall that has seen better days, Pirates of Grill is the lone outlet that is crowded during operating hours.
