New Shanti Sagar, Koramangala

New Shanti Sagar is a famous South Indian chain which is spread across Bangalore. They have
more than 10 outlets around Bangalore.
I have also heard that they have started thier outlets in Delhi. Today I will be reviewing New Shanti Sagar, Koramangala.
Location
Located on 80 Feet Road,7th Block, Koramangala. It is one of the busiest roads in Koramangala. It is located approx. 500 meters from Forum Mall. The famous landmarks are HDFC Bank, Airtel Customer Centre.
Rating: 4/5
Parking
This place doesnot have a Valet parking. But there is ample parking space available in front of the restaurant. But on a busy weekend evening you may not find a parking space right in front and you may to go hunting for a space. But there are lot of parking spaces in the vicinity.
Rating - 3/5
Format
Like most of Shanti Sagar's even this restaurant has 3 formats. Darshini - G Floor, Seating - G Floor, AC Seating - 1st Floor. They also have a party hall for functions. So you have got a lot of options down there.
Rating - 5/5
Ambience
The AC section has a very nice amience with decent interiors. Nothing much to speak about the other 2 formats.
Rating - 3/5

Food

Now coming to best part of NSS, "Food". The food is seriously amazing. My favorite Idly Vada Sambar. This one you only get in the Darshini Format. They pour the extremely tasty Sambar into Idly Vada unlike where you dip vada into sambar given in a bowl.
The Dosas are also simply amazing. You will also find some Costal Karnataka specialities like Goli Baje ( Mangaluru Bajji) and Mensinkayi Podi in the evenings. The Souh Indian Thali is available in the afternoons and it is very decent. The north Indian Food is extremely good considering this is a South Indian Chain. I simply love the Dal Fry out here. Chats are nothing great apart from Pav Bhaji which is a master class. Never tried the Chinnese dishes here and I would recommend not to try them also. Coffee
is something you can die for. Very well done. Ice creams and Fruit Juices are pretty average.
Rating - 4.5/5
Hygene
The hygene quotient is pretty decent here. You can see people walking around the kitchen with caps on thier head. Also I have not found any unwanted stuff in my food.
Rating - 3.5/5
Pricing
The pricing is very decent in Darshini and Seating formats but kind of on the higher side in AC format. Just to give you Guys an idea Idly Vada Sambar in Darshini costs Rs.18, Rs. 28 in Seating and Rs.35 in AC. "Quality never comes cheap"
Rating - 3.5/5
Overall it is a very nice restauarant with lots of choices. My Recommendations - Idly Vada Sambar, Paper Plain Dosa, Pav Bhaji, Dal Fry, Coffee.
