bit off-topic, is anyone here aware of a good Tiffin service around the Sarjapur outer ring road area? I'm looking to order Dinner on a daily basis through one of them.

Thanks much for any help on this.

Had been to Hyderabadi Durbar, right beside KC Das on Church street. I read a review in Bangalore times last Friday regarding very good take away Biryani's and this place more than lived up to my expectations. Excellent Mugulai Biryani for about 100 bucks a pop. The Biryani was very well made with succulent pieces of meat. The service and pampering i got from this guys even for a take away was great. Ordered for 4 chicken and a mutton biryani, with chicken kababs. Kababs were not deep fried and were quite tasty too. I dont know whether this service and taste would persist in the long run but this place is definetly worth a visit.

One of the best idlis in Bangalore.
It's located in Shankarapuram, near Basavangudi - Gandhibazaar
Take bull temple road. After Uma theatre towards Ramakrishna ashram, take second left, Brahmins coffee bar is in Ranga rao road.
It's a darshini type of place, no place to sit and eat.

@redrage
sometime back I had been to hyderabad durbar, but I didn't like the biryani much over there, may be that day the preperation was not upto the usual days

+1, Take the road adjacent to the Maratha hostel on Bull Temple road. It is a very small place and the menu is limited to Idly-vada, chow chow bath & Coffee-Tea. Be prepared to wait in a line during peak times. You may not have to wait for too long as service is fast.

btw, this place got the 'Best Idly-coffee place in Bangalore' award from Times of India sometime back.

Today being dad's birthday, had been to Kabab Studio.

The good:

Awesome food. The chicken kababs were so awesome, it was unreal! I have never eaten such succulent and soft chicken kababs. It wasnt bland either! It wasnt spicy, but had the right amount of spices and flavour. Loved it to bits. They had 3 lamb starters, one prawn kabab(which was truly mouth watering) and 3 chicken starters.

The main course spread was large, but ordinary. 2 chicken dishes, one fish dish. A few veg stuff which I didnt even bother knowing which was which. Some desserts(punjabi stuff like phirni, etc..) which I didnt have.

I'm still hungover on that awesome yummy chicken kababs.

The bad: There is a Punjabi food festival going on due to which every half an hour or so, they switch off the music and a bunch of guys come and dance to the rhythm of the dholak and those other Punjabi drums. While I appreciate the idea, I hated the execution as the drums were ear splitting loud. It shouldnt be like that. It shouldnt be so loud that it takes away from the ambience and the enjoyability of the place. I really hated that.

The other thing is, it's expensive. 600/- per head. But for a one-off celebration like a B'day or something, it is good. And oooooohhhhhhhhhhh........ did I mention how soft and succulent the chicken pieces were?

Barbecue Nation?!?! Pah! that's all I have to say. This blows Barbecue Nation to smithereens.

Nikhil, Kabab studio @ goldfinch Hotel right ?
It's an awesome place, with good ambience + delicious dishes.
I had been for Dinner buffet, it was around 650Rs/head.

[Nikhilb2008]

Yes. That's the one. It was 600/- per head incl taxes.

I once went to Beijing Bites in Jeevanbheemanagar. I ordered chilly chicken and Schezwan noodles and told them to make it extra spicy. And it turned out both the items were too sweet. I never had such sweetish Chinese food in India. That day i swore never to enter Beijing Bites again.

Do you guys also find Beijing Bites sweetish? Or was it a one off in this Branch ?

I found Chungs in CMH road to be very good. I love Hot & Sour Soup, Cantonese Chowmien, drums of Heavan, Koithai(Malaysian noodles) here. Spicy food loves will love this place for sure.

I have always tried the one on New BEL road and they have never disappointed me. I'm not sure about the one in the area you have mentioned.

We have been regularly visiting Brindavan Hotel, M G Road, for delicious and sumptuous lunch in the after-noons and tiffin in the evenings. Lunch costs Rs 70/- only and served on banana leaves. Another highlight is, ample car parking is available within the compound.

for people in the Whitefield area who like punjabi food, try Adaa sometime. it is in the complex to the immediate left once you come down from Marathahalli Bridge to go towards Kundalahalli Junction. It is above the GKVale showroom. they have nice items like Tandoor Brocolli on their menu which is very tasty.

There is also another restaurant in the same complex which has a mix of Mangalorean and European food. Though there were no customers in the restaurant when we went and it was past 3 p.m (which is why we went there, since Adaa was closed by then), they prepared the food specially for us.

Chungwah in Whitefield, above the CCD is pretty decent. Try " Genral Tao's Chicken ( gravy ) " and crispy spinach with chicken. Havent tried any other Chugwah outlets, so cant compare.

Chung Wah in Arekere gate, BG road is also pretty decent in terms of food and rates. In particular, "General Tao's" chicken is pretty good.
