Let me start with The Barbeque Nation at Indiranagar. Now this is a place that is or should I put it rightly "was" truly amazing once upon a time. I have been here twice, the first time in Oct '07 and on May day this year. I had been raving about this place to my friends and finally on a very hot summer afternoon met up with three of my friends there for what I expected to be a wonderful lunch. It started off well...with the starters coming along as per the menu or that's what I thought, until I noticed that the chap there was serving me only two of the five veg starters. Guys, tell me how much can I stuff myself with paneer? Anyways I had to bring it to the notice of three different waiters that I would want to tickle my taste buds with something other than paneer. It was after waiting for some harrowing 15-20 mins that I was brought some other starter....something made out of potatoes and which I suspect was hastily put together. Sadly being the only vegetarian at the table had its cons. My friends on the other hand had no complaints. The non-veg fare was very good I must say from what I could make out from my friends. Finally we were done with our lunch and looked forward to the desserts sections that sadly had a few empty plates. When I brought it to the notice of the manager that they had run out of chocolate doughnuts, the next thing I see is that a plate of doughnuts that have been cut into half was plonked on the table. Smart indeed! That way they were able to feed a lot many sweet teeth! In a nutshell my second visit to this much talked about restaurant was quite disappointing to say the least. Paying Rs. 506 for such a lunch is sadly a complete waste of ones hard earned money. One thing to end this on a postive note would be that the people who are non-vegetarians should not have much to complain about except for the near empty desserts section. Wicked, ain't I?

Finally, I have decided that I would be writing about my all time favourite subject...FOOD! Actually about the restaurants I usually frequent. So there.....yours truly will make an humble attempt at letting people out there know what's good and what's not so good in some of the finest eat-outs in Namma Bengaluru. Cliched as it may sound....Bon Appétit!
