Cringing, craving, bingeing, braving... you always have an opinion on what's hot and what's not in your city and we just love to hear it. Besides, there's no better place to satiate that itch to bitch!
It was one of those bright, but nippy Sunday afternoons that are so typical to the Bangalore winter, when staying cooped up inside four walls just doesn’t seem fair and you look forward to getting outdoors into the lovely, confused weather and doing something...anything. Even if that something turns out to be walking into another set of four walls a few minutes later and proceeding to feed your face. Well, feeding our respective faces was muchly on the agenda of a couple of friends and myself and so we found our way to the Casa Piccola outlet on CMH Road, Indiranagar. I’d been to their flagship... read more
I'm the last person around to sing paeans to an institution that thrives on its reputation as the place for the best vegetarian food in town. But credit needs to be given where it's due and Grameen (why am I always tempted to finish every utterance of that with a 'Swasthya Seva Mission'?) honestly does a good job of dishing out some genuinely tasty veggie fare.

What’s the first image that springs to your mind when you hear the words ‘Kodava Samaja’? Let me hazard a few guesses – in your head, it’s a place where over-the-hill members of the Coorgi community catch up on weekends (with the younger ones reluctantly in tow) to let their hair down and network with other natives at 'cultural events' over plates of piping hot ‘Coorg plate-idli’ and tumblers of steaming coffee straight from the hills. Or maybe for you, the Kodava Samaja in your city has so far been the preferred choice of venue for your all of your 3 Coorgi friends’ weddings – where, like at every... read more
The rather misleading placemats at 'Aangan' have this portly chef in pink cradling what looks like a delectable pot roast, even in caricature. Much inclined as you might be towards digging into something like that, what you will find here is standard Punjabi fare that doesn't really disappoint.
They have a couple of good VFM thalis on offer - for both meat-eaters and the other kind. The non-veg thali has options in chicken, mutton and keema. The chicken thali has a chicken starter, chicken curry, a flavoured rice, a couple of tandoori rotis, dal, a veggie, regular rice, papad and a... read more
