At the Gourmet Bar, we ordered a lip-smacking Multigrain Spiced Lamb Burger made up of a giant Lamb patty wrapped with Bacon, Lettuce, Tomato, Cheese, and Gherkins. The jumbo burger got here with French fries and Dips. The healthful burger might simply alternate a meal.

During my few hours of keep on the lodge, I witnessed the good efforts taken by the lodge in the direction of sustainability. Instead of plastic bottles, one can discover glass bottles within the rooms. The Mini Toiletry Kits had additionally been changed by refill bottles of shampoo, conditioner and bathe gel, which had been fairly handy. Also, the lodge has changed toothpaste with tooth tablets that are a plastic-free, zero-waste various to a standard tube of toothpaste.  All in all, we had a particularly comfy keep at this new lodge which not solely does good enterprise but additionally has an equally sharp deal with reaching sustainability measures.
