Khan’s 3/10
Khan’s is a renowned Indian eatery in Queensway, London. It is cavernous with large pillars bedecked with faux palms.

Fortescue dined at Mossiman’s and was effusive in his praise. It sounds delightful and the complete antithesis of the abominable Mc Spiggets. He was accompanied, no invited by Lady Hartwell and Lady Sloane . This is no ordinary restaurant dear… Read More ›
