Bangalore Pizza hut review

"The soft yeast , topped with hot cheese garnished with irresistable veggies and chicken,
To top it all the aroma of oregano and chilli flakes,
Itallinos, I'm hungry again!"

Pizza Hut
Location - Mantri Mall, Malleshwaram

It was after 7 long years, I met my long lost friend. It was late noon and both of us had lots to talk, share, gossip and were hungry like dogs. After juggling betweek Orion mall and Mantri mall, we decided on Mantri as it was nearer. As soon as we landed there, we rushed to the food court floor where you'll find a cluster of all big names of eatries and restaurants like any other mall.
Since we were tired, we couldn't order and, wait while one of us hunted for place to sit. And this was what drove us to the cozy , lighted interiors and comfortable sitting Pizza hut.

I have visited Pizza hut in more than 4-5 places till now (Sadhashivnagar, Dollar's colony, Jayanagar, Koramangala etc,.), but the interiors of none are as good or spacious as this one! I loved it.

Just as thought of ordering 1 Medium pizza, 1 Garlic bread and 2 Coke, my friend pointed at the weekday offer. Startled, the radius of my eyes were maximun when I looked at the combo.

Weekday combo
INR 99 - Regular pizza *(you can chose veg or non-veg out of the listed names)
1 Starter - Garlic bread or Potato wedges
1 Fresh lime soda
(There is a pasta combo also, but i don't remember)
Whoa!! We ordered 2 of this combo with different flavours, so can taste different pizzas too. Greedy eh? Nah! Optimum paisa vasool!!
It was yumm, hot and fast served. It was less crowded (may be one of the reason). The staff were patient, friendly and displayed good hospitality (obliged to click our pics at every pose we desired).
If you are 1 of those Pizza lovers , isn't your tongue dripping?

Firangi paani retaurant review

I don't know how many people would like train as a mode of transport, but yes, I have witnessed the pulp crowd of the big city wishes to fodder themselves sitting inside a train. To saturate this wish, was a venture made - Firangi Paani (foreigner's booze, Relevance of the name? I'm blank).

This cozy retaurant is located inside Forum Mall, Koramangala. Dimly lit, the place is actually small and cannot accomodate more than 50 approx. But yes, a huge mirror is placed on the other end of the wall with an intent to give an optical illusion of space. (These are off track knowledge , I will be giving to my blog readers! Got to know it from one of the Interior Deco magazine)
The food variety is limited. The taste is nothing out of world. But ofcourse fill stomach. I don't remember any special dishes I tasted here. The chat they served as a part of the buffet was yumm....
The seating is comfortable. The interiors are tasteful and very inline with the train concept.

Have a look yourself!

Baskin Robbins review

Bright sunny day! Long hours outside under open sky exposed to the skorching suns. Even after you enter under roof, you either feel thirsty or ...??
Yes the urge to treat your dried, thirsty and pale tongue to the lavishness of an Ice-cream!!



And yes , and there you spot the household common name "Baskin Robbins". This was how I made an entry into the store last week. Had the usual chocolate chips for myself while my hubby ordered for a Blackcurrent. BTW, the menu list for flavors is enormous.
This time I had decided not to go with the usual Chocolate chip flavor.


Baskin Robbins is a place I was introduced by my Dad during one of those school days. Frankly speaking, my first encounter with the mango ice-cream from this place was a plight. But that didn't frighten me from a second try. Fortunately it was worth it the chocolate chip flavor for which I have fallen head over heels!!

Positively, this outlet is located in all major areas. Few I have tried - Malleshwaram, Koramangala and Sadashivnagar.

Keys restaurant review

Located almost in the outskirts (not really!) , Keys restaurant comes over to your left on the Hosur main road. The building is somewhat unique. Initially I was wondering if an ariel view of the same restaurant would look like a 'Key' (I'm proud I get such thoughts).



This is one place where buffet is served for both lunch and dinner. Needless to say, both are priced differently. Lunch around 239+tax Dinner 249+tax.


 It is a beautiful place. The place to the dine area consists of some innovative paper made wall hangings. Looks neat! Yes it is 4 star!



I have been here for a couple of times. The food tastes too good here. The desserts list on buffet is too long! The list of other food items for both veg and non-veg is sufficient enough compared to other places.


Best part being here is this place is not crowded like other mid-city bred located restaurants. You can have your quality time here with your friends, collegues, family or even strangers.
