Bangalore Blues!

    Bangalore Revisited : Atleast on the Culinary scene , quite a lot has changed in the last 10 years. Many many new restaurants have come up , though all of them serving the same cliche menu.
Oh Calcutta giving the Bengali food to Bangalorean's : St Marks Road.

I went into O Calcutta to check the Menu! And it was quite unique.
But was wrongly priced. Most dishes around INR 350 and up. That does not sound like a nice value for a fine dining restaurant. So, I skipped it for another time.

Kebab Korner in St Marks Road : Again not a very nice eatery.
Finally A Pan Vendor1


Zafran is another new addition to Bangalore St Marks Road.
Went in to check the Menu and again the same old dishes. 
Refused to Dine and Returned. Though the sit out looks elegant.

 Casa Picola opened up in St Marks Road
European Food Joint since my time in Bangalore 1995 +


 Seating of Casa Picola
 Click To Enlarge the Menu of Casa Picola
 Actually, he should have kept the name " Casa Pakoda "


 Then comes my Penne!
 Saw This Big Ad of St Marks  Hotel Lunch Buffet for Rs 430 ++ 
 Stepped in St Marks Hotel for Lunch



 Curries and More
 Desserts and Salads.

 My Guest Mr Shanker enjoying the St Marks Lunch

 Samples a little of everything.

Lord Buddha Greeting at the Entrance of St Marks Restaurant.

 Next Day was at MTR Lalbaugh

 Bisi Bele Bhath at MTR Lalbaugh
 With Katori full of Ghee, no wonder Bangloreans put on Fat.
 Had on my table two visitors from Delhi, enjoying Dosas.
 The Tea also has a flavor of coffee
 On Exiting from MTR, find a a big board announcing " Jalpan " as the best veggie restaurant
of Bangalore : Next Time.
