    Had dinner with family at the Coach House and had an amazing dinning experience. Their Mexican - South Asian Indian inspired tasting menu & wine pairing was something new to me. Zubair introduced us to a whole new Indian cuisine with Mexican influence & of course his explanation about the history behind it in his colourful language. He then sat down with us after the service and everyone was gone. We chatted for a bit and explained to him the history of his first name Zubair is the origin of the name Xavier. He liked that very much since he is student of history. I highly recommend his food and the cozy dining experience……

      Nice story but Xavier name originated in 16th century after Saint Francis Xavier in Spain while Zubair is an Arabic name and one of Prophet Muhammad's first cousin was named Zubair in the 7th century so they're two different names with different origins.

      they are reheating it most likely every day, which at that high temp kills bacteria. as well, it is a saturated fat, which have been used for many centuries to preserve food, and prevents oxidation/bacterial growth. not to mention that it’s refrigerated, so thats another layer.
