- “Instead of the heavy oil and butter base you'd expect from kebabs, Peshawri's cooking is all light-touch, the selection of kebabs is not accompanied by any sauce or gravy, but only pre-marinated and cooked before serving. We went back to our beautiful suite and crashed for the night.” 11
- “However Suites take the decor up quite a few notches, with beautiful wood flooring mixed with stylish gray furnishings and fixtures, accented by paisley patterned accents.” 10
- “There was a nice large TV across the bed. However, the position never makes sense with ITC when you have two walls back to back having a tv on it. If you turn on both - there is a voice overlap instead of being able to watch 2 separate programs in the room. They need to think better for that.” 3
- “The sofa was super comfy, and we were playing there during our stay.” 3
