Fine living restaurant
The problem with middle age nostalgia, especially when it comes to food, is that all great taste memories, when put to the test of time, fall woefully by the wayside. For all the favourite restaurants that used to feed childhood delight either shut shop or are way past their prime. However, step into the 26-year-old The Great Kabab Factory, tucked away in one corner of the Radisson Blu Plaza, and the best foodie moments come flooding back, proving that hindsight can be perfect sight. Celebrating a smorgasboard of North Indian and Mughlai cuisine, with a specialisation in kebabs with a new one getting enlisted almost every day! It could be litchi one day (when in season) and broccoli malai the next.

Taste Delhi's Best Street Food For Rs. 50 Or Less - Here's Where To Go
From the smoky lanes of Chandni Chowk to the bustling corners of Lajpat Nagar, Delhi's street food scene is nothing short of a sensory carnival. The city tells fascinating stories through its food - stories of spice-laden chaat, buttery parathas, sizzling tikkas, and syrup-drenched jalebis. Here, every lane has its own flavour, and every vendor has a secret recipe passed down through generations. But what makes Delhi's food culture truly iconic is its diversity. You will find an outstanding blend of Punjabi, Mughlai, Bihari, Bengali, South Indian, Tibetan, and even Afghani cuisines sizzling together on roadside tawas and bubbling in kadhais. But here is the cherry on top: in a city where a latte can cost more than your Uber ride, Delhi still serves full-blown flavour bombs for less than Rs. 50. Yes, you read that right.

HYDERABAD Theatre fraternity and Qadir Ali Baig Theatre Foundation paid a tribute to Hyderabad's legendary thespian Qadir Ali Baig with a touching play 'Sunset-Sunrise' that was staged at Radisson Blu Plaza on Tuesday night. The play brought centre stage the pathos of ageing parents living across India, whose children have settled abroad in quest of a successful life. Written by Noor Baig, the play was the last one produced by Begum Razia Baig. Qadir Ali Baig's son Mohammad Ali Baig, who directed the play, played the role of successful NRI Kunal living in the US, while Rashmi Seth and Vijay Prasad played the roles of his parents. Qadir Ali Baig was a legendary figure on stage during the 1970s and 80s who produced several spectacular plays such as 'Quli Qutub Shah', 'Mehboob-e-Deccan', and 'Kohinoor ka Lootera'. His modern plays 'Sakharam Binder', 'Aadhey Adhure', 'Lehron ke Rajhans' and several others were trendsetting. Governor Jishnu Dev Varma said, 'Qadir Ali Baig was a luminary ahead of his times who has a lasting impression on society. The country is proud of his enduring legacy, which his family continues to preserve by shaping Hyderabad's cultural scene. His work continues to inspire theatre practitioners around the country even today. He left behind a legacy that Hyderabad calls its own.' Former Head of Delhi's National School of Drama observed, 'Qadir sahab was a complete theatre person, an actor, director, producer whose plays focused on Indian history and national integration'. Many prominent personalities from the city, including artistes, dancers, bureaucrats, defence personnel and art lovers, attended the annual event.
