MISMATCHED HALASURU

This review is for a two time visit to this lovely little place just opposite 1 mg lido mall. – MISMATCHED. With a title like that and cozy vibes, once I walked through the through I decided to indulge in my favorite hot chocolate – post shopping at 1 mg and to beat the chill in the air. First visit: Hot chocolate: This! Warm and comforting and chocolatey. With the place all bright and lit up and cold weather – it was perfect. 5/5 Classic Mac n cheese: was the usual with gooey cheese. I like lettuce on mine and they were able to give it to me. I love it when food is customized to my needs. Wacky though they seem. 4/5. In the first visit I got the most awesome snacks basket which was delightful filled with hot papads and boti (golden fingers) a snack I really enjoyed in my childhood. Very fresh and hot. 5/5 Second visit: Chole Batura: Very tasty and hardly any oil. Channa accompaniment was good. Not the best I’ve had though. 4/5 Honey Ginger tea : something to ease the guilt! This was soothing, fresh and well presented. 5/5 Papaya salad (takeaway): I had this at right and it still remained fresh with peanuts and chilli flakes in it. Quite a meal in itself. Very good. Next time I go I’ll have it fresh there. 5/5 This time the snacks basket was a bit of a let down and less crispy. Menu: Wide range from chaats to north Indian to continental cuisine. Both Veg and Non Veg. Service: Prompt. Servers need to mask up and spruce up a bit. Food: Really good. Worth giving it a try. Ambience: Cozy. Not a very big place and tends to get busy noon but so usually I’ve enjoyed having the place to myself. Price: Reasonable depends on what you order and the number of people you go with Location: Centrally located. Much needed in a place like that. Overall rating: 4/5. Can do with some minor improvements. Ratings for reviews 1-No! No! No! 2-Just about average 3- Good. Can give it a try 4-Great!! 5-Yes! Yes! Yes! And I’ll tell all about it. DETAILS: Mismatched, No.154, Pothraj Group, Trinity Church Compound, Old Madras Road, Landmark:, next to Domino's Pizza, Halasuru, Bengaluru, Karnataka 560008. 10 to 1 am.
