Eating out, in and around Jayanagar, Bangalore

1. The Other Cresent- This is a resto housed in an old judge's home. It was under rennovation when we visited it. The interiors were pretty ordinary- like a military hotel with cushioned chairs. The service was slow. The menu was surprisingly unique- living up to its continental tag. The menu was very well written and informative. The food (when it arrived)was the best part. It was relishing!. The chef did a great job!. Cost wise, it was moderate. All in all, I would definitely visit again-just for the unique food!.

2. Eurasia-We had some difficulty locating this place-it is tucked away from view by lots of trees!. There were no neon signs heralding the presence of the resto. It is also housed in something that looked like a remodelled house. Interiors were pleasent. Service was prompt and helpful. Food was yummy!. Cost was again moderate. Cant wait to go there again!

3. President's hotel- Ive been to Gufa twice before and I loved it both times. This time we were invited for a lunch party by vegetarian friends. The food was great!. I'm not a big fan of hotel buffets-but this one time was a really good spread.

4. Village, Soul of India- I got curious about this place when I was shopping at Jayanagar Central. Someone has rated this place to be the best veg resto in bangalore-so claims a huge hoarding in front of the place. We had to take 2 flights of escalators from the food court of the mall to finally reach the place. The place is done up very well- fitting of the theme. We had to first pay at the entrance, and then only go inside for the buffet. We went on a week day and it was about 400 bucks per person. Its free for very small kids. There was a huge party happening inside!. A huge group of people were busy playing "dandiya" in the center of the resto. Loud music was blaring from the speakers!. There was no high chair for my toddler. The buffet had a lot of variety-most of which were fairly ok. The  serving portions were really minuscule!. On the bright side, it was a effective way to ensure no food  would be wasted.There were other stuff like mehendhi/tatoos/puppet shows/ , but all for an extra price!. I wouldn't go there again- very overated place!.

5. Pizza Hut- There is an outlet in front of Sapna Book store in 5th block. We had some difficulty finding some parking place for our car in this busy shopping area. Service was excellent!. Food was great but somewhat pricey!(if you consider the size of the portions). But the place is extremely kid friendly- definitely a place I would consider if I have to eat out with my toddler.

6. Chutney Chang- This one is another buffet resto with a claim of the widest spread in the city. I   have eaten at their Church Street outlet and loved the experience. I expected this one to be no different-except that it was!. Food was just ok. Deserts were the only thing worth a second serving!. Not going there at all again.

7. 1947- Its right on top of a mall- so it has two great advantages- one, parking and two, great view of the city. Its also another veggie resto and is mainly focused on north Indian cuisine. Nice ambience- not great but pleasant. We ordered babycorn for starters and we were left searching for the babycorn in the "bhajji"!. But the rest of the meal was great- especially the naan and paneer currry- which was recommended by the waiter. The best part was the aam ka panna and the superb paan which came at an extra price!. Not a bad place for an occasional meal out.

8. Mainland China- I was really happy to find an outlet of Mainland China so close to home!. I took my family there, one saturday evening.
