On a cool, chilly Bangalore evening, what would you like eat? Some nice hot kebabs, grilled tikkas, fluffy hot naans and kulchaas and the aromatic daal fry. Smells and feels divine, no? It is the same feeling when you enter an expensive restaurant like Oye Amritsar at Koramangala in [More...]
Either you ‘Bflat’ or you end up with a ‘High Note’ at 100ft Road, in Bangalore. I quite liked the ambience of Bflat – very spunky, classy, refreshing and thankfully minus all the IT office crowd with folded ties in their pockets and their I-cards proudly flashing like dog [More...]

I love bhangra/ hindi songs – but come on, there’s a time and place for [More...]
The best mutton curry rice, fish and chips and pork vindaloo rice combination can be found at the all time favourite Koshy’s in Bangalore. My Dad still fondly remembers this place when he was posted in Bangalore in the late 1960s where he would visit Koshy’s for beer and fish and chips for a Sunday brunch.

On my last trip to Bangalore, a visit to Mother Earth made me realize how much I had missed out on during all my previous trips to the city. It was like Disney Land for me, the moment I stepped into the Koramangala branch of Mother Earth in Bangalore.
