And i thought seafish is more toxic than freshwater variety, since the freshwater fish you buy at your neighbourhood fish stall is most probably captive farmed in ponds.

Seafish has higher mercury and other toxic levels.

Iam used to seafish till now, and iam exploring the freshwater varieties due to the above concern.

Ofcourse, seafish has higher nutritional value due to higher healty essential oil and omega-3 fatty acid contents.

Most of the folks from Coastal belts will not touch freshwater fish (big exception: Bengalis).

Somehow the seawater fish taste much better. Maybe due to the fact that they come pre-salted.

What I meant was the amounts of pesticides and artificial agents that the fish are exposed to. Mercury levels ... hmmmm.

Can any Bhpians suggest some good places in Bangalore for South Indian food? Any Madrasi restaurants (with auth. Madrasi food) would be really great as I really dont like Karnataka style food that much!!! (they make very strange sambhar here - its kind of sweet!!! really hate the sambhar here). I was in Chennai once (10 years back) and absolutely loved the food there!

Also any recommendations for north indian food places? Please also mention the area information as I have very recently relocated to bangalore and am new to most places here. I am put up near Marathalli (on the Outer Ring Road).

My grouse too. But then its nice to have variety.

Anyway, if you want true-blue madrasi food, try any of the veg-only Adyar Anand Bhavans for their tiffins (with yum varieties of chutney and sambar).

If you like to sink you teeth into meat, then Annachi (indiranagar 100 ft rd), Anjappar (koramangala, next to sony world signal) and Ponnysamy (residency road?) would do.. google for their addresses and landmarks.

For North indian food near Marathahalli, try "Roomali with a view" on ORR opposite to Innovative Multiplex. The quality has been decreasing a bit recently though, so I'm not sure how it is now.

I had suggested the same to a member here and this is what he had to say:

The dishes were not washed properly. The soup bowls all had some sort of dusty spots in them, so I called the manager and asked him to have it cleaned. He plainly pointed to the saucer and said, use that for your soup :P

Sorry Hooligan

Oops. I take back my recommendation then .
I think you can try Dhaba which is on ORR on the way from Marathahalli to KR Puram. The food is great and the ambience is very good too.
Can't say the same about their sister restaurant Malgudi, which i visited around 3 times and wasn't satisfied with the food or the service any time.

Dude, what else can you expect when you are in Bangalore. 'Karnataka style food' maybe strange to you, but it is the staple for people like me living here. If you do not like it, it is your choice and I respect your decision but please don't call it strange or anything. It is not fair.

How about Golkonda Chimney and Spice Garden? They are on the way to Kundalahalli signal. I had been there some 3 years back, and food was good then.

I'm not sure but I think Golkonda Chimney is closed for renovation now. They are only accepting home delivery orders, the last time i checked.

Comments on "Karnataka Style Food" looks like abusive to local people. Comments are made in bad taste to Insult people of one province and praise other.

The term 'Madrasi' doesn't seem fit here. IMO, "X Style food" doesn't seem offensive. Come on, even restaurants offer food based on styles.
