Charlotte Last, The Tourism Media Group Senior Business Development Manager, said:"The soup was absolutely delicious and popping with so many flavours and just enough spice. Apparently, they have been serving this soup since they opened in 1926! Everything was delicious and it was the perfect way to showcase as many dishes as possible."
Charlotte added: "Everyone had a wonderful time and there were a few of the Concierge who were first timers to Veeraswamy, which was great as they were able to experience the gourmet delights that they had already been recommending to their guests."
