Istanbul Doner, TurkishRs. 90 and the best! Byblos, LebaneseThat's the Shawarma under the "Main course". I suggest try the Shawarma (wrap) under the Starters. I now know, I don't want authentic taste. I like the flavours to be put intelligently, fused to create dishes that most can palate; without loosing the essence of it all. This maybe a place only for people who like sheep meat. And I cannot be fair as I didn't order any lamb from this middle-eastern (i.e. lamb speciality!?) restaurant. I don't know enough about their different styles of food (I do know the stereotypes). However, there is no excuse for the three types of (thickness) breads served, which were neither soft nor any good. They were powdered for some reason. The chicken wings were like the average home-made kind, fried with flour and garnished with burned (bitter) coriander. The chili hummus was bland and garlic mayo was very/only sour. Everything had less salt, especially their soft french fries (I like it crunchy). I didn't care much for the seafood in their menu. I'll be going there again for their 'relaxing' hot Chamomile flavoured tea. Its one pricey (teabag) though. I have a gut feeling this is more of a place which is (its a guess by looking at their menu) positively soup & salad biased place. I can't eat that during summer. Al-amara, EgyptianIts a tiny restaurant, its cheap, clean, super-fast and popular- the best Arabic fast food in town for this price. It may not be very nutritious but its very tasty. Try the chicken-cheese keema roll and "falafel spl" that has french fries, mayonese, chickpea, brinjal/egg plant, sesame paste sauce (hummus, tahini: lemon, garlic, olive oil etc), salads with lettuce etc all rolled in a flat pita bread

Brik Oven I had heard about their authentic Naples-style pizzas a lot. It’s started by Chef Anirudh Nopany (trained under Le Cordon Bleu) and Sreeram Anvesh. The Brik Oven in Prestige Trade Towers, has very limited seating. The food is fresh (especially the black olives) but a bit expensive. If you compare it to any of the pizza franchise, the taste may leave you slightly underwhelmed at times. The handmade dough base is the star of the show. Its soft inside and corners are nice and crispy! I added to my pizza extra tomatoes, olive oil, parmesan cheese, tabasco sauce to punched up its flavours. They don't serve chicken pepperoni so instead I ate their hawaiian pizza and was pleasantly surprised by how fresh and tasty it was. These are some various types of condiment that I found helps a dish to come together. Tips

Some TitbitsThe little rogue is a slippery one. The restaurant has shifted thrice (initially, it was in the old Secret Garden Cafe's spot, next to Ulsoor lake) and always neatly tucked away, like an innocent summer mystery. What was different this time was the missing cute and quirky purple typography on their signboard. The new ambience is more old-fashion, mature and private.
The food still is like a work of art; simple, balanced and tingling with flavours. The herb 'roasted chicken with lemon & garlic sauce' was tender and juiciness. The mash potato has replaced the potato and mayonnaise salad. The garnish now consist of vegetables like crunchy broccoli and baby-corn instead of the neatly sliced fresh apple and carrot. Finally, it accepts card besides cash. Its namesake in Koramangala is a franchise that has been sold, nothing to do with this restaurant and is run by different management. Cooked by Lalram Khiangte & my aunt Traditionally some Zo food,
If you change one letter, "o" from "Zo" and replace it with "u"; the word "Zu". In Mizo it means alcohol!
The taste is slightly sour, hot and richly endowed with nuts and assorted spices and is slow-cooked cooked in ghee. It was full of mutton meat. Its the taste of classic 'Hyderabadi biryani'.
The food is excellent, if not the best, and also not too spicy unlike its competitor 'Paradise' Restaurant. Definitely. Its the best value for each rupee you are willing to spend. Three people can expand their seams, on one plate of biriyani. I also got original biryani with mutton. I don't know if the mutton was goat or lamb meat. Its quite a charming restaurant for relaxed conversations. They serve good food with excellent flavours. Its elegantly presented and the service is good. They have a limited items on the menu though.
Its owned and run by Master Chef Shankar Krishnamurthy who has worked with The Oberoi, The Holiday Inn and other reputed 5 star chains in India, UAE and Nepal.
This place is one of my favourite place to eat Italian and continental food as there are mostly vegetarian restaurants that serve Italian cuisine in this town. The pepper sauce in spaghetti with meat balls or steak or sizzler is amazing. The food taste is light, balanced, so good and everything is reasonably priced .... enough said, just enjoy! Cupcake Company is a small wonderland and apparently its an over-priced one. Its beautiful interiors couldn't hypnotized me to not notice that the cupcakes tasted bland at its centre. I told myself that should have known better. I wished I could say to their polite staff that I am rather use to cup-cakes melt with every bite, instead I walked out blaming the cool Air conditioning of the place for the hardness inside the cupcakes. Across the same price range, the chocolate muffins from Calvin's bakery can only be described as heavenly but the best cupcakes in Bangalore are from Cupcake Noggins. Imagine, red velvet and blueberry flavours get sold out everyday. Why this one time, a girl standing behind me, in a line, shouted out to book her's! Update: The shop location was such that, the cupcakes couldn't sit for long without drying, so there were smaller but fresh batches. The noon sun was also too harsh and factored in, however, all this means that you got fresher supply although it was a constrain for the owners of the shop. The new place however, is spacious, but the cupcakes are not as fresh (although the good thing is that they don't refrigerate it unlike their competitors). Spoonful of Sugar is an expensive slice of heaven, if you consider food as your religion and pastries are like the pope to you (you don't say 'no' to the pope). But it has the yummiest, creamiest blueberry and oreo-choco pastries that I have had to date! Step one: You get an urge to take a bite of a creamy pastry Step two: You resist that line of thought for about an hou (ok, may be 15 mins) Step three: An unknown power makes you walk out of your room and turn on the ignition, and transports you right inside Bangalore's best pastry shop (which in turn makes your wallet lighter) Honourable mentions: The chocolate peanut butter is good in Happy Endings - The Chocolate Cafe. Eclairs in Cafe Noir are quite good too. |
