Indian Coffee House, MG Road

Indian Coffee House, a coffee shop in the heart of the city was in 'Must Visit' list for quite some time now. I had heard some great review about this place. So finally I landed on this place accidentally.
Location: This place is located on MG Road and considering the Metro chaos on this Road this is the worst place to visit a restaurant. As you all know the parking in this area is pretyy horrible.
Rating:- 2/5


Ambience: The place was lasted painted like 30-40 years ago. The place has been shabbily maintained with same old seats and dirty flooring. The stair which leads you to the 1st floor is horrible. I understand the concept of maintaining the originality of the place bit it dosent mean that you dont maintain the place at all. Extremely dissapointing.
Rating: 1.5/5
Food and Service: The menu had limited items like Cutlets, Omlette, Dosas and Toasts to go with Coffee which is supposed to be speciality of this place. We had Veg Cutlets, Mutton Cutlets, Omlette and Finger chips. The food was very ordinary and pretty oily. The Coffee which was supposed to the speciality was pathetic. This was the worst coffee we had in sometime. This was not all. The service was one of the worst I had seen

in my entire life. The waiter was extremely rude and very untidy and he was going around yelling at the customers in the shop. We were extremely scared to even place the order. And it was all happening in front of the manager and he was hardly bothered. It was cultural shock to all of us and hopefully once in alife time experience.

Rating:- 0.5/5

Overall this place has to be on all of your's 'Places to Avoid' list. This is not at all worth all the hype it has recieved. Be it the poor ambience, below ordinary food and pathetic service evrything is so bad about the place.

Blue Ginger, Taj West End

Blue Ginger, Taj West End
Fine Dining - Vietnamese Cuisine
Hello Guys, I am back after a long break. This time its a review about Restaurant with

Vietnamese Cuisine in Taj West End, one of the Three operational Taj hotels in Bangalore.
Location: Taj West End is located on the busy Race Course Road. Not many offices located in the surroundings and very heavy traffice most times of the day.
Rating:- 3/5



Ambience: They have tried thier best to replicate the Vietnamese or South East Asian Ambience. I really cannot comment on it because I have not been to a Vietnamese place before. But it looked pretty exotic. The sofas, the pond and the tables looked pretty good.
Rating:-3.5/5


Food: If one thing I can comment about the food is 'Expensive'. The food was really expensive and portions were too little. A soup which had a portion of less than half of the quantity of normal portion costed 450 bucks. Main course was something around 800 to 1000 bucks. Same with starters.


Now coming to food,most of us didnot have much clue about the vietnamese food so we relied completely on the chef to recomend us. The prawn and chicken starters we really tasty.( I donot remember the name.)
The main course was nothing great. Just ordinary.

Overall Rating: This place didnt live upto the price and my expectation.

Coffee Day Square, Vittal Mallya Road

Coffee Day Square
Category - Coffee Shop
The new coffee shop to hit the town - Coffee Day Square. You would start wondering, what's new in that? Its the same old coffee day. The answer is "No". It is actually the new flagship store by Coffee Day.


Location
This place is located on Coffee Day Corporate office on Vittal Mallya Road. It is hardly 1oo meters from UB City and easily located.
Rating - 4/5
Parking
It is supposed to have a Vallet Parking but we did not find anyone to pick our car up so we ourselves had to park in the basement and ramp connecting the basement has been poorly designed. It is extremely narrow. So guys driving in the sedan's please watch out.
Rating - 3.5/5


Ambience
The ambience is not all that great. This being Coffee Day's Flagship store they could have done a better job out of it. Definitely its different from the usual coffee days but nothing new and refreshing. No attention has been given to details. Bad Flooring, unfinished furniture and Facades all add upto to the poor interiors.
Rating - 2/5

Food & Coffee

Nothing new. Same stuff. Only prices have been increased and a newly designed menu. Nothing new at all.

Overall Rating

You can give this place a miss. This place didnt live up to its expectation of a being a flagship store. This place lacks creativity both in ambience and well as menu.
