South Indies – del.icio.us

Sorry but this post makes sense only for Bangaloreans.

I was just passing by a dull street in some corner of Indiranagar today hunting for some place to dine-in. I am always in look out for new places and yes i am prepared to face consequences since many places do not offer food of great quality let alone other aspects of dinning. So i spotted this amidst of trees and residential houses and decided to try out. Below is my experience.

Food:
The very reason for visiting a restaurant. :) Well actually the title says it all, though in a tech savvy way. The food quality is at par (or even better) with a five star restaurant, cooked to perfection. I enjoyed every bite of it.

Menu:
Its a south indian restaurant. The menu has dedicated pages for specialties from four south-indian states – Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Kerala and Tamilnadu. Each item is color coded to distinguish itself as a starter or main course plotted against a running highway. Add to it the deserts page and a couple of free recipes.

Ambiance:
The view from outside itself was good but when i walked in, it was just WOW. Mostly wooden furnishing with designer chair/tables, sleek sofas, appropriate lighting, wooden floors, artificial water body etc. You can have candle-light dinner too. :) To complement it all, they use ultra modern designer cutlery.

Hospitality:
Impressive presentation, corporate outfit, soft spoken and supportive. They take orders on a plamtop which is connected to a centralized computer over a wireless network. The order is started processing the moment it is scribbled on screen. I wish they had a button on each table which i could use to call them when i needed them – don’t disturb me unless i ask you to. ;)

Price:
Ahh. You would have already started worrying about it i guess. Not to worry – its not that costly compared to Bangalore standards. Almost all items in menu are less than 100 rupees. You can expect a bill of 150-500 for a couple.

Facilities:
The have a terrace party hall. The whole place is a two floor house converted to restaurant. The seating is organized to accommodate various group sizes. You can opt for family cabin, terrace garden or a small hut also. It can be handy to organize small corporate meetings or parties too.

Parking:
Valet parking or park on the road.

Location:
While coming from Domalur on 100 feet road, Indiranagar towards Old Madras road side cross over the signal at CMH Road junction. You see Domino’s Pizza if you go straight a little. Its on your right hand side if you go little further. Locate it on Google maps here.

Who’s Who:
The man behind it is an ex Leela palace chief chef. I forgot his name, will post it next time i visit them. He has a couple of books in his name.
