JANUARY 2019 - This is my third year of writing monthly restaurant reviews here on my blog and on Zomato. I’m glad to have kept up with writing every single month of the past two years. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed exploring different places and tasting different varieties of cuisines and every visit was memorable, yep even the bad ones. This year too I have no plans of stopping an activity I truly look forward to every month. Last year (2018), majority of my reviews were limited to Indiranagar, the place I stay. This year it’ll be in my area and beyond - whatever catches my fancy. I hope to find more places where when I walk in, eat there and walk out, I know for sure the ratings will hit a 5/5 and I’ll tell all about the place.
I’m eating a salad from this place as I type this – a mixture of lettuce, tomato, cucumber, carrot, olives, white onion, radish, zucchini, grapefruit, and cherry tomato with lemon dressing.
After watching a nice movie with my friend which ended exactly at my regular lunch hour, I was looking for a place to have a filling lunch and decided to explore this all new vegetarian joint recently opened in Indiranagar.
It was early and I was the only person there and it was very comforting. This place is neat and compact and has well matched furniture. The décor is simple and tastefully done up. I was attended to immediately by Sumit who was very courteous.
The menu is very limited…just a handful of items in each category but what they lack in variety they made up for it in taste.
I had
Aloo parathas – these were tasty and served with curd, green chutney, salad and sliced onions.
Masala papad lived up to the name of the restaurant in that it came with a twist of crumbled paneer and capsicum toppings instead of the usual onion tomato ones.
Frost bite: Delish! A mix of coffee, vanilla ice cream and chocolate sauce. They need to get bigger straws like the ones they have in the popular coffee outlets. I had to struggle with getting the thick ice cream and sauce combo through the straw.
The presentation was awesome! I felt so bad leaving behind the fancy vegetable flowers and leaves carvings that were on the plate along with the food. Truly appreciate the effort.
Takeaway
Peri peri wraps: this turned soggy by the time I ate it at home. Wish the fries were well done.
Salad: like any other. It is named healthy bowl and has half the vegetable market thrown in as mentioned at the beginning of the review. I think it’s best to eat food at this restaurant than takeaway.
Given the cold, cold weather in my city off late, I wish I had ordered their “appetizers from the pan” items and hot beverages over the cold food but there’s always a next time and I do plan to revisit and maybe take my friends along too.
Food is clean. Service prompt. Ingredients are fresh. Slightly pricey methinks but worth it. Need bigger straws. Definitely need more items to choose from.
