Daily bread has been around for quite a while and I have, on more than one occasion, made a beeline for their cafes during the afternoons and early evening when I haven’t been able to find a restaurant to eat in. Over the years they’ve slowly expanded their foot print in the city and today cover a sizeable part of Bangalore.
It still hasn’t blossomed into a place you’d actually want to grab a meal in, but a coffee yes.
The Anonymous Foodie has been away for a while, and for that I apologize. Most of September was spent travelling which was a blast. It also gave me an idea to introduce two new sections on the Blog. You should see them up shortly ( if I get the time to actually put them up that is! )
Right, so back to the review. Sunday brunch with friends or family is a great way to start the day and while I have tried a number of the restaurants in the city I’ve found that with most of them there is a trade off with either the cost of the meal or the quality of the food. The Global Tree Cafe really surprised me by delivering on both fronts.
One of the biggest problems with creating content on a blog is structuring it, and ensuring that readers are able to get to the information quickly and without too much hassle. Granted, most of us rely on search more than anything else and thankfully the search here works pretty well. I’ve even tossed in an auto complete feature ( which is rather temperamental ) to make searching that much easier.
What’s in a name? Apparently quite a bit if you consider the new restaurant I reviewed. Christened 64, this restaurant aims to be a mix of a lounge and a resto bar. Sometimes I wonder if they gave up finding an appropriate name, deciding instead to cleverly settle on the house number.
Finding the restaurant is a little challenging given that its on a road that leads to nowhere, and yes, finding parking is a bit of a challenge.
The Bistro is the second restaurant that I visited at the World Cuisine Network and while there has been a level of inconsistency with the food. The overall experience has been rather pleasant.
Located at the ground floor of the building the Bistro is a cafe/restaurant that is open throughout the day for those of you who like eating at odd hours. It’s slim picking for those of us who’d like to grab a bite at 4 in the afternoon.
Have you ever had one of those days where you feel if you looked at office food for another minute you’d reach across the counter and strangle the “chef” ? This was one of those days and before I decided to tempt fate any longer it was off to a small restaurant a friend had suggested.
Aahar is a tiny dabha that was setup to cater to a number of paying guests (P.G’s ) living in and around the BEML colony and from what I’ve heard business is never slow.
Having promised to do a couple of “regular” restaurant and cafe reviews I decided to write about the Fame cafe after I stumbled upon it over a weekend while a friend and I were looking to find a steak joint.
It turned out to be the best accident that could have happened to us as now I have a place to go grab breakfast or a late night snack whenever I head to that side of town.
This is a review that’s been long overdue. I’ve always had the fondest memories of Sunny’s and even though I’ve eaten there for over a decade it’s great food never ceases to draw me in again and again.
Though I’d like to say the “old” Sunny’s did have a certain charm that the new place seems to lack.
I’ve noticed that there is a glaring shortage of Indian restaurants in my reviews so far and for the first time in my life I let a blog decide where I’d eat next.
Umerkot has been around for a while and over the years I’ve resisted visiting primarily due the fact that the richness of the cuisine makes me feel extremely lethargic after a solid meal.
As mentioned before new restaurant concepts always draw my interest, so when news broke of the world cuisine network opening up at Indiranagar with four different cuisines on offer I felt drawn to it.
Spread over four floors this restaurant(s) offers the diner an experience ranging from the traditional Indian and Bistro Cafe to the more exotic Italian and Lebanese. The review today focuses on La Vigna, the Italian restaurant.
This review starts with a disclaimer, Chinese food isn’t my first choice when I decide to step out of the cosy confines of my house to grab a bite. However I must say my trip to China a year or so ago opened my palate up to fresh tastes that frankly even the best 5 star hotels haven’ t been able to replicate.
Right, so where was I… This review focuses on a restaurant called Chung Wah,situated at White Field which lets face it is more than a stone throw from any part of town.
I know what you’re thinking, after reviewing a number of fancy restaurants I’ve finally caved and lowered my standards to reviewing junk food. The question really is can we do without it? I’ve tried and failed at controlling my craving for a KFC burger on many a occasion.
The visit to KFC was prompted by pure hunger and not a desire to satisfy my taste buds with a well put together dish, though when you are ravenous few things satisfy you like junk food served quickly.
Have you ever had your expectations about a restaurant built up so much that you can’t wait to get there? And then have you had the rug pulled so quickly from under your feet that you feel no pain only shock when those expectations land on its ass? Well that was my Chili’s experience.
You probably think I’m being extremely harsh on the place, and frankly I am. When a restaurant or bar charges as much as they do you have a right to have extremely high expectations.
Little Italy has been around for quite a while and was a huge boon to vegetarians across the city when it opened for the first time in Indiranagar. The location, on 100ft road, is great however this review does not focus on that outlet but the Whitefield one. Though they both share the same name I thought it might be better to review them independently given how vastly different their clientele and decor is.
This review isn’t as exhaustive as I’d like but it should give you a decent idea of what you could expect when you pop in there.
This I’m pretty sure will be one of the shortest reviews I’ve written so far. Given the fact that this review took place between deciding which movie to go for and a bathroom break I can safely say I haven’t given it the attention it deserves, then again this is a cafe!
The Roll over Cafe is located at the Food court in Garuda Mall, its shares seating with virtually every kind of fast food you can find so there is no ambience to speak off ,however their deserts are rather appetizing.
If you’ve been in Bangalore for while you’d understand me when I say, think steaks, think Only place. The location has changed, and so has the quality of food over the last decade or so but the one thing that hasn’t are the waiters :), and yes it is still rather dirty.
Located at the end of Museum Road is a restaurant that really hasn’t changed very much, parking is still a problem however if you are lucky you just might get a spot on the main road.
Before i start this review I’d like to say that i have always been a fan of Shiok. So when i heard that they opened up at a new location i felt this would be a perfect opportunity to revisit the food that i liked so much.
The night was in celebration of a friends birthday and we were as charged up as we could be given the fact we were heading back from work, and therefore slightly beat. Unfortunately the experience started heading downhill the moment we stepped foot through the door.
