My favourite dive May 20, 2009
Eden Park Shivajinagar | 10 reviews
The Good:
- Open air dining with widely spaced tables
- Paisa vasool food and drink
- Gorge-worthy starters
The Bad:
- Service quality resembles that of Indian Airlines
- Drinks limited to the bottom end
Go For It:
- If you're a large group bent on gorging and getting tanked up. This is not a place for moderation
Avoid:
- If you want a candlelight dinner for two
- If you're choosy about your drink -

Limited choice, expensive, but good food May 20, 2009
The Urban Nawaab Marathahalli | 6 reviews
The Good:
- Veg platter was good as was the main course
- The stone grill is innovative
- Decent ambience, still uncrowded
The Bad:
- VERY limited menu.
- More expensive than the BJN restaurants
- The biryani didn't match up to the rest of the meal
Do Go:
- You aren't a vegetarian, thereby allowing you more than one option per course
- If 75 bucks for aam panna doesn't faze you
- If you want to try something out of the ordinary
Avoid:
- If you like being spoilt for choice
- If you dislike listening -

A pleasant surprise May 17, 2009
Sree Nandhana Palace by Sree Nandhini Palace Domlur | 2 reviews
Been there thrice - sampled both the south and north Indian restaurants
The Good:
- Meals in the south Indian restaurant are excellent VFM
- Food all-in-all is, surprisingly good
- Decor is upmarket - not the usual Nandhini-style
- Non-vegetarians would be spoilt for choice
The Bad:
- Starters are really oily
- Always overcrowded - weekdays thanks to the tech parks opposite, weekends; thanks to the prices
- Veg options really limited. The ratio is 2:1 or 3:1 in favour of N.V
Do Go:
If you want good Andhra or Chettinad... read more -

Great place to unwind May 17, 2009
Take 5 Indiranagar | 48 reviews
The Good:
No teenagers! Late twenty and thirty somethings abound
The Belgian beer menu
Good finger food
Attentive service
The Bad:
Usually somewhere between crowded and overcrowded
Lighting too low. Its a bar, not a place for a candlelight dinner
Can be a little less expensive
Some days, the music is too disjoint. What are love songs doing in the midst of a session of classic rock?
Do Try:
The aforementioned Belgian beers
Avoid:
Going there if you expect dance/trance music, place to shake a leg or if you are anywhere -

Mildly overrated May 10, 2009
Laa Jawaab Indiranagar | 26 reviews
The Good:
- Main courses
- Rotis and naans are well made
- Attentive service
The Bad:
- Tables too closely spaced. You can hear everyone around, and your conversation can likewise be heard by all
- Furniture looks cheap
- Uneven use of spices - some mildly flavored, some dishes killed by the level of spice used
- More expensive than it warrants to be
What To Eat:
The pindi chana had pieces of paneer in it, and was not the dark brown one would expect it to be, but the dish worked well enough for a repeat order the... read more -
