100 ft Restaurant, 100 ft road

"100 ft restaurant", yes don't get stumped that's the name. And the name of the road as well, alongside which they are situated. Specially is Italian, which means pastas and stuff. Went for lunch. They didn't have a buffet but on order. Started with a soup, then the appetizers and finally going on to main course. Did not try the desert. The food was really tasty especially Lasagna. Ambiance is okayish, but service was good. All in all an afternoon well spent.

Food 9/10
Ambiance 6/10
Service 8/10
Cost 6/10

Overall 7/10 (Go once for sure and see if you like the whole experience)

Things to watch out for:
1) Most of dishes were high on cheese.
2) Quantity is such that you got to order 3 or 4 dishes for 2 people in order to get full (well that depends on your appetite also).
3) Hard drinks are available and choice of soft drinks is quite limited.
4) Prices are on a higher side though, so "bewarez".

Red Bamboo Shoots Restaurant, Museum Road

Dec 20 2009

Went to another BJN group restaurant, Red Bamboo Shoots, Museum Road. Had some very nice Veg Chinese food. The 'Sweet corn soup' was amazing and so was 'vegetables in coriander sauce'. Noodles were soft, smooth and tasted how they should be. And the best part was that the food was very filling and wholesome.

Food 8/10
Ambiance 7/10
Service 8/10
Cost 6/10
The service charge all BJN group restaurants put is 10 percent, in addition to 12.5 percent VAT which is not included in prices on the menu, so you pay 22.5 percent more than what you see on the menu.

Overall 7.5/10 Good

Booby the dhaba, new Ulsoor Gurudwara

Dec 19 2009

Been to Booby the dhaba near ulsoor gurudwara, today, very nice punjabi food, (but so very full of oil and butter :P) and yeah if u r going anytime after 07:30 in the evening (thts when the dhaba opens) you may have to wait for 1 to 1 and a half hours, with no place to sit. Still, try once.

Food 8/10
Ambiance 1/10
Service 7/10
Cost 7/10 (came arnd 150 per head and we were full upto necks)

Things to watch out for:
1. Dnt try the butter milk/lassi/maththa, its not good, its atleast not authentic punjabhi lassi. Instead order a dahi, they will provide u nestle dahi (sounds better)
2. Order a Bisleri if u wish (Yes its available on demand :P),
3. The place is cosy but don't expect anything in the name of ambiance, rather you might get a little turned off if u haven't ever eaten at a dhaba before.
4. Take some talkative person along wid u, coz you might have to wait for ages.
5. Parathas are real good, do try.

Overall 7/10


Barbecue Nation, 100 feet Road

Nov 30 2009


Went to Barbecue Nation, at 100 ft rd, yesterday. Did not find it worthy for a vegetarian.

I heard it was famous for starters, but starters were okayish and main menu so so.One of the starters was very good though - the potato onion pakora with cheese

Starters 5/10

Main Course 5/10
Desserts 6/10
Ambiance 6/10

Cost 4/10 for veggies (450 per head is a little too much, even when you have unlimited starters)

Overall 5/10 for vegetarians.

Cafe Masala

Nov 17 2009


Been to Cafe Masala, above Eva mall, yesterday for dinner buffet. Some starters we too good, especially the aloo tikki. Mushrooms and paneer were amazing too. The buffet food was amazing though you won't reach there if you binge on the starters. Deserts had a nice variety and you can see chocolate fountain their as well. Even though it's a buffet they serve you the starters and service was quite good (though we went on a weekday, could be one factor)

food taste 9/10,
variety 8/10,
service 9/10,
ambiance 7/10,

Beware: Drinks can be very-very expensive.

Overall 8.5/10.
