Useful Trivia
I have a selfish reason behind naming this post something like this. Obviously it is to attract more visitors to my page. 
Considering the frequency at which I post, I dont know if I have regular visitors to my website.I remember to write only when some of my friends occasionally remind me that I like to write. .
The purpose of this post is to make the ones who are new to Bangalore,familiar with good restaurants here.I m sure many of you would agree with me if I say that it is difficult to find a nice place to dine here.I have been to quiet a few eat outs in B’lore ,and there are hardly any good ones. Either the ambience sucks or the food sucks or the prices suck! . I am extremely choosy about food,and have a taste for good food.So you can comfortably consider my recommendations.
Note : The restaurants below have been recommended purely keeping the taste in mind and nothing else..
a) Mast Kalandar : A meal at this place is very light but filling at the same time. Their great indian combo meal is simply superb! You get a mixed veg salad,2 rotis , a cup of pulao,tasty raitha,authentic shahi paneer, delicious chole masala,dal makhani,and one big gulab jamoon.It is reasonably priced and the ambience is okayish. A meal for two could cost you upto 400 bucks with taxes. Waiting time is slightly high.An intersting trivia about this place is that it was started by a group of IITians.
b)Beijing Bites and Bangalore Mandarin : Refer my previous posts for reviews on this.
c)Oye Amritsar: Located next to Amoeba Church street, this place is famous for it’s very authentic North Indian food. Their Makki di Roti and Sarson ka saag are my all time favourites.Dont forget to try the lassi here. They serve lassi in really tall tumblers and the lassii tastes really good after a full meal.
d)Krishna’s Kafe : This place needs no introduction. Atleast this is what I thought until I started realising that there are too many who havent heard of it. If you are in bangalore and love South Indian food it would be a sin not knowing of this restaurant. Unlimited authentic South Indian lunches are their speciality.The place is generally very crowded during the weekend.Itz very small, located adjacent Anand Sweets Koramangala and can be easily missed out. You have to be really alert when you are looking out for this place. I have been visting this place regularly since 4 years. I used to have my lunch and dinner here,during my PG days…that is,when I was working for Tavant Technologies,Koramangala. I can say that they have been doing hell of a job in terms of consistency. Today , Krishnas is exactly what i t used to be 4 years back.The prices have doubled though.A full meal costs around 95 bucks. But I can guarantee you that a meal here is worth it’s price.
e)Mark Boulevard : Multi cuisine restaurant and a place to go for if you are looking for some great food with ultra great ambience. A meal for two could cost you around 800 bucks. So you can consider treating yourself here if it is your birthday or your wedding anniversary or a team lunch sponsored by your company.
f)Bombay Post : It would be very unfair if I dont write about ‘Bombay Post’. This restaurant is so good that your taste buds will literally crave to have more here. Bollywood is their theme. So you will find lot of posters of Hindi actresses and also get to hear good old hindi songs. Although Pindi chole is what most of the people say they like here, I felt it tasted similar to what it tastes like in the other restaurants.Personally I liked their ‘Kalonji ka baingan’ , paneer starters and their ‘aam ka panna’. Priced slightly on the higher side,a three course meal for two could cost you around 700-800 bucks. But this place is worth every bit of it and will keep you longing to come back again and again. There is an Indijoes restaurant in the same premises but please refrain from going to this place although they claim to be of the very same group as Bombay post’s.
g)Gramin : Located in Raheja Arcade Koramanga, Gramin specialises in North Indian food. I am a die hard fan of the ‘Arbi chatpata’ starter here. All their side dishes taste yum. Finish off your meal here with a jalreera, masala chaas or aam ka panna. Infact I suggest that you order Aam ka panna and Arbi chatpata and have them together. OMG..The very thought of it makes my mouth water..I am gonna call up hubby now and ask him about the feasibility of taking me there for dinner tonight.
There are some more restaurants which we are planning to try out sometime..The ones in the list are Mainland China,French Quarter,Casa picola,South Indies and Sunny’s. You can expect a review on these soon.
All said I would really like you to try out the food at all the above places and let me know if the review helped. Happy eating!
