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.
Rating:- 2.5/5

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.

Rating - 2/5

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.
