Bobby Da Dhabha Bangalore !
Loc: Beside Ulsoor Gurudwara, bangalore .

Perfect wen it comes to food..
Very Tasti Sabzi and Dal with a beautiful blend of masalas tadka and ghee.
You go any day and i bet anybody has to wait atleast 30 minutes to get a seat.
A perfect Dhabha lookalike.. i'l rather say it looks like a bhutiyaa haveli.
Below averae ambiance.
Huh..... but but the food is above any 5 star resti especially for all northies.
The Ma ki dali vith desi ghee ka tadka is like yummmmm..
Parantha's too are good,their recipe is like less spicy heavy taste and too much desi ghee!
The kheer is excellent it reminds you of mummy ke hath ki kheer...
And yes the heaviest dose is that doubled chaach ka glass...
perfect punjabi Overdose ........ loved that..

given a chance nobody should miss bobby da dhabha !
Money.. is peanuts when you compare the quality and quantity of food..

Go have some food at the dhabha!

Kataria Mess , BTM!

Again a BTM place ...
It's more of a mess as the one you have in your hostel's than a resti..
Again a complete north indian mess!
My Initial days at bangalore found me survivng on Kataria's Dinner..
As far as menu goes..
I found there paranths's interesting ...
Believe me they are heavy, Allo ka paranthas are superb !
the size, the stuff and their crispy taste does remind you of those road side dhaba's in north !
They serve you Paratha's of Aloo, Gobi,Panner and Methi..
costing anywhere between 12-25 bucks
A Thali comprising of a Dal Sabzi chapati's pickle costs you anywhere around 25-30 bucks
Apart from this they do serve panner bhurji and a couple of other dishes ...
Drinks.. A glass of chach is what you can ask for, apart from this lassi is also good
Nothing great in Ambiance..
The mess is opposite BTM Bus stand !
Overall.. a place to visit whenver you remember our northie dhaba's !
you do get true Value for your money both in quantity and quality !

Cheers !

Mirch Masala @ BTM !

Mirch masala.. again a startup from some Punjabi guy...

I have visited Mirch masala BTM. Ambiance wise.. it's ok.. nothin in comparison to Mast Kalandar or Chandni Chowk.Food wise it reaches to some expectation but again they are not like 10 on 10 types. We had heard about this North Indian joint and thought of trying it out one day. We asked for the less spicy Paneer gravy and the waiter suggested us Paneer Tikka Masala.... we were like "less spicy?????". We finally decided to go with Palak Paneer..we thought this would be less spicy.. but alas.. they lived upto their name.. it was full of 'Mirch' and 'Masala' :( The quantity was also less compared to the price they charge.. considering it isn't a big restaurant as such..

Chandni Chowk @ Koramangla,bangalore

The name Chandni Chowk brings to mind the flea markets of Old Delhi, a shoppers' paradise, where people hunt out great bargains. But the Chandni Chowk I refer to is a food place in Bangalore -- a restaurant which offers a variety of north Indian food. It is located in the upmarket area of Koramangala, just next to the National Games Village. From the outside, you may mistake it for a fly-by-night dance bar. With an 'aesthetic' appeal like that many people would not want to venture inside. But you will be in for a surprise the moment you enter. It is a quait restaurant in Koramangala, which tries to recreate the Dhaba feel for the noveau rich. (Atleast it feels like). Decorated with a thatched roof and stone pathways, the Chandni Chowk restaurant offers some of the best North Indian food in the Southern Bangalore India. The ambience is really appealing; it is decorated with bandhini dupattas and other colourful wall hangings and well-lit to make the place look nice and bright. Although the stone slabs on which you sit may feel a bit cold initially, the smell of the simmering Punjabi spices quickly awakens your taste buds. Menus are made out of a silk cloth held between the embroidery rings.Music-wise, you will probably get to hear a bhangra remix of the Summer of 69, which blares from a small speaker, kept inside a mutka (a big mud pot). A large selection in both vegetarian and non-vegetarian. Nice beverages, especially "Kullud Wali Chai" a must try. Being a foodie myself, my favourite is the Chicken Reshmi Kebab and Jal Jeera to begin with. And for the main course I go on to have Half Butter Chicken and Stuffed Kheema Parathas. A Half Butter Chicken will fill up two people easily. Don't miss out on the authentic Dal Makhani which is a treat for your taste buds. After about 20 min, the waiter walks in with the Roti and Sabzi, we ask why not the soup and starter, and right behind him, another guy walks in with the rest of the mail. the whole thing is dumped and they walk away. Later the chai comes, a real nice one too. Just right for the Indian Palate, Kadak and sweet, with a dollop of cream on the top. As for dessert, order a Gulab Jamun and you will be happy that you had a wonderful, yet simple meal. The icing on the cake is the bill. For two people your bill should be around Rs 400 only and this includes a drink, appetisers, the main course and a sweet dish! This is a great place for dinner. The service is decent and you can finish your dinner within an hour, on a normal day. But a word of caution: on weekends the place is so packed you may end up sans dinner.

Restaurants in Bangalore !

Imagine any weirdo name (Specifically link to north Indian lingo) and yes you'll find a restaurant by that name in Bangalore ....Here i would like to present to all fellow visitors a brief review of various restaurants, their food, their ambiance and ofcourse their name ! Mast Kalandar , Bangalore Mast Kalandar Bangalore is located at 5 locations across Bangalore.. I have visited 3 of them 1.> BTM 1st Stage 2.> Bannergghatta Road 3.> Koramangala Mast kalandar is basically started by a "retired",bored of work IT duo/couple. Orange and yellow interiors to the squeaky clean ambiance to the yummy, fresh food emphasises their tag-line “Eat Happy”. Their Food hmmmm... Parathas are Mast Kalandar’s speciality - and you can get anything from the usual alu, gobi to more exotic healthy sprouts, fully-loaded mixed veggie, and a Chinese-inspired paratha. Each paratha combo plate comes with 2 parathas, a dal, a raitha, a salad and a pickle. The food can be slightly spicy but is absolutely yummy. The dal, raitha and picke vary depending on the type of paratha you order. For the rice-eaters, there is Biryani with a Twist, a knockout rice-kadhi combo and rajma-chawal. Don’t forget to order the delicious mango lassi to wash down your food with. I have tried the desserts here only once - the moong dal halwa was heavenly. you'll have mast lassi to pindi chole ... Hlak fulka to punjabi tadka... overall a cheap, affordable and worth to visit place.. Especially for all those northies who are craving for north indian food.
