Atrocious pricing of food and tea Apr 10, 2012
Infinitea Cunningham Road | 57 reviews
Gaurav, value might be a relative term but money is not.
I was buying Assam CTC tea from you for the last few years. I noticed that even though shops in other parts of the city kept their prices at the same level, you were the only one who increased it through the time. And now I have discovered a place in Banashankari 2nd stage who sells the same tea powder at 3/4th of your price!!
Not only the price of the tea powder/leaves, even the tea and food you serve has seen a huge increase in prices. From what I remember of the times I was visiting your place, a plate of samosa... read more

Absurd pricing Mar 02, 2012
Woodstok (Resto - Cafe) Indiranagar | 108 reviews
People in Bangalore and in particular the so called "In" crowd, really dont care about prices. That is the reason why places like Woodstock and sundry others are getting away with the kind of prices they are charging. While I agree that food prices have generally shot up and therefore there is no other way for restaurants to survive than increase the prices, these kind of places take it to ridiculous levels.
For instance, one of the items on the menu here is Fried eggs. Now how much would an egg cost? 3 bucks? 5? Even if the damn thing is imported it should not cost more than this price... read more -

A truly good restaurant May 20, 2010
Hejje (at Rasa) Malleshwaram | 10 reviews
At the outset, let me clarify this. The missing star is for the decor. For a place which is serving such superlative karnataka food, this is not the right kind of interiors. May be the owners wanted a place in which they could conveniently serve some other kind of food if this concept was not successful.
Alright, now comes the best part. FOOD. Anyone who seriously wants to eat honest to goodness kannadiga fare, this is a must visit place. And the menu is quite exhaustive on this front!
Start with the yummy menasinkayi akki rotti. Small sized rottis come with green chutney. Absolu... read more -

Different people, different attitudes. Apr 15, 2010
Chakum Chukum Indiranagar | 36 reviews
This is what I felt when I read the reviews below which trashed this place.
I have been going to this place from quite some time and my experience is very different. This is a place where you can get great rolls at a good price!! Their double egg chicken roll is absolutely brilliant. So is the shammi roll. A bottle of chilled beer and one of these rolls....wow.
None of their rolls are priced more than 75, if I am not mistaken. Therefore, if they are charging a small service charge for home delivery, so be it. After all if you are fine paying stupid service charges sitting in a... read more -

This has nothing to do with OPUS... Jan 05, 2010
Opus (Palace Cross) Palace Orchards | 20 reviews
.....and therefore the three stars, which is what this place averaged before this review.
My grouse is entirely on a different issue. Service Charges. In this weekend edition of Mint, there was an article on how the Japanese have the best service industry where TIP is not encouraged. That set me thinking.
Earlier, when we used to go to restaurant, the waiting staff actually SERVED us. Because they knew that only a polite and satisfactory service would earn them the tip. But now with the greedy restaurant owners introducing service charges, the service element is completely lost... read more -

Samosas were 60 - nine years ago when we launched.
Tea prices are increased every 2-3 years depending on input costs. They will keep going up much like everything else in the world.
Thanks for all your inputs and feedback.

You have the prerogative to price your products the way you want. No objections. But dont bring in the value perception into the discussion. Talking about the same samosas which you say were priced at 60 nine years ago, here is a piece of information. K C Das even today sells its samosas at Rs.10-Rs.12 a piece. Now that is called value. Mind you, I am not comparing a hole in the wall shop to your place. K C Das also has its shop in a prime location, their interiors are on par or better than yours but the prices are lower than yours!!!
But take heart in the fact you...read more
