Choose from the following options. Is Boca Grande:
a) a coffee place
b) an ice-cream place
c) a restaurant
d) all the above and more?
The correct answer is (d) and you do not win anything. You do get to read the rest of the piece.
We went to Boca Grande without any idea of the kind of food that the [...]
If you are an ice-cream lover and find yourself in Mangalore, go visit Pabba’s, an ice-cream place in Lalbagh.
You get all sorts of ice-creams and sundaes but if you must try just one, go for the gadbad (pronunciation: guh-duh-bud). It’s got jelly (jello), nuts, fruits, and ice-cream all mixed up in a tall juice [...]
What do you do with a frozen marble stone in an ice-cream shop? You mix ice-cream on it of course.
The Cream and Fudge Factory (TCFF) is a place that you can’t miss when you’re near Raheja Arcade in Koramangala. The bright lights, the see-through glass windows, they almost invite you to go in. What [...]
I’d heard good things about Olive Beach but I never went till a couple of days ago. The restaurant has white gravel-kind of pebbles strewn in the outside seating area and when you walk on the pebbles, you feel it give a little, which is a bit like walking on sand.
Presumably that’s part of [...]
I do enjoy the occasional spicy chaat but I wouldn’t call myself a regular chaat person. That said, there is one place in Indiranagar, Karthik’s Mithai on CMH road, where I’ve enjoyed the chaats.
It’s been a while since I’ve been there but when I used to walk by, before the shop was renovated, there [...]
Almost every person that I’ve spoken to about Corner House, an ice-cream place in Bangalore, will bring up the phrase “Death By Chocolate” (DBC if you’re familar with the lingo) when they are talking about Corner House. DBC is not an ancient torture method though I can think of far worse ways to cross over [...]
If a place is crowded at 3 o’clock on a weekday afternoon, then that should tell you something about the food. And about the people who sit in the waiting room or stuffed themselves in the restaurant. Does anyone actually work after lunch in Bangalore? Is the phrase “working lunch” an oxymoron?
No seriously, Barbeque Nation [...]
Fiorano is a place that serves Italian food and is in Koramangala, next to the Sukh Sagar, on 100 Feet road. I’ve been to the place twice, once last year and once this year, but never got around to writing a review. If you think that should tell you something, you may be right.
Fiorano is [...]
Hyderabad biryani is one of those foods that will probably be on the menu in the buffet at Eden. The slow-cooked rice, with the different spices, and the tender meat is something of a treat. If you’re a Hyderabad Biryani afficionado, you probably know that the true gourmet eats the mutton biryani (and not its [...]
Ta’am, if you pronounce it as tam (as in tamarind) gives you the impression that you’re talking about Tamilians (Tam-Bram). But, the falafel gives it away.
Because, the falafel is a delicious chickpea-based dish that’s deep-fried and put into a pita-bread pocket–thus making a sandwich. You can eat it like a snack too, and it’ll [...]
