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.
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.
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.
We’ve all eaten at our share of expensive restaurants, some pretentious and some not. Though occasionally we feel the need to visit something less ostentatious in the hope that it causes a smaller dent in our bank balance, and while this cost saving might be a driving factor I’ve found that its the attraction of a quaint little restaurant that drives me there.
Delicacy is a place you will only find by accident and given the fact it is on my route back home I decided to take a quick look.
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 are in the mood for some Indian food you really do need to check out Mast Kalandar, and while it does fall under the category of a fast food joint it feels more like a restaurant.
Before you decide to go here, or order if you are exceptionally lazy like I am, I would like to warn you that they only serve vegetarian food. Its good but if you are a die hard non-vegetarian you are setting yourself up for disappointment.
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.
The new Barista is well the same as the old Barista, the only difference is the price and the variety of food they serve. There seems to be a steady shift away from being “just a cafe” to being a full fledged restaurant.
There is no doubt that their coffee’s are still some of the best in town though their iced teas still leave a lot to be desired. Their portions are ridiculously small for the price they charge
