A short trip to India this summer - Mangoes and more...

Summer is always a great time to be in India - to enjoy the mangoes, but one has to brave the heat!!!

A brief three day trip (three city work trip) started in Chennai/Vellore, took me to New Delhi and ended in Hyderabad.  Think Mangoes - Safeda in Delhi, Banganapalli in Hyderabad and enjoyed a selection of Alphonso, Hima Pasand and Banganapally in Chennai! 

Each state/region has its own favorite and the debate never ends.  Rather than choose favorites, why not sit back and enjoy them ALL!  Mast Mambazham....

Took two days off in Chennai to visit folks, and used that opportunity to enjoy some restaurants.

Rajdhani - not unique to Chennai, and a chain, but DELICIOUS food.  A mix of Gujarati and Rajasthani dishes...the food keeps coming, so go in with a large apetitie.  Never disappoints.

Saravana Bhavan - a visit to Chennai is never complete without breakfast (or a meal) here.  Many locations to try from.  All dishes are great!

I wish I could have stopped by Plantain Leaf and BBQ Nation...and a few others, but didn't have the time. Till next time...
