We will continue to work with the magazine in the future, and wish them every success.” Sheila Lakeman, Cafe Pacifico

“Thank you for the mention of Moti Mohal in the current issue. My wife Elizabeth and myself went there last night and had the most wonderful  meal.  We have never had such gorgeous Indian food. Because of your article, I asked for the various apple chutneys which were stunning  and original. Never tasted anything quite like it. And when I  recognised the chef,  Ani  Arora, thanks to the picture in your  article, I was able to thank him warmly. He seemed such a charming and modest man. As new residents, we think your paper is excellent” Robert Parker, Covent Garden resident
