Whole in the wall cafe

There is always that tiny cafe or restaurant that you love, that you hope no one else will ever find out about, because once other people realize how awesome it is, the whole world will start going there.This is exactly what happened with The Hole in the Wall cafe.It opened in a garage behind Maha-raja hotel in Koramanagala ( the cafe was quite literally a hole-in-the-wall) . Soon enough it gained popularity. Cut to a few years later- theyve got a space twice as big ( its not really a hole in the wall anymore) , and an ever bigger loyal fan base. Their English breakfast is the most famous, .

Recommendations for when you visit :

Waffles with caramelized bananas ( or pancakes, but I prefer the waffles)The Meaty CheeseburgerThe Awesome Sausage SandwichThe Hangover Remedy

For those of you who wish to eat something healthy, they even have egg white omelettes with spinach ( The Great White) and Freshly sliced bananas with yoghurt, muesli and home-made syrup.

Cuisines: Cafe, AmericanEstablishment type: Quick bytes

Opening Hours:8 AM to 3 PM, 5:30 PM to 8:30 PM

A small cafe always jam packed on weekends and extremely pocket friendly . If you are a meat lover or carving some juicy english breakfast ,this place is meant for you. They dont take reservations so make sure you have lots of patience if visiting on weekend.

Smoke House Deli

CuisinesEuropean, Fast Food, DessertsEstablishment TypesCasual DiningOpening hours:9 AM to 11 PM

The most striking thing about Smokehouse Deli is the white and black interiors, so classy and so interesting, they tell a tale in themselves .People can sit there observing the doodles not both-ering about the food.Though not a very pocket friendly place but the good quality and consistent food along with beautiful white ambience makes it a must visit.

Located in one of the swankiest streets in Bangalore, the Smoke House is a place to fiest on art and food. How the interiors of every Smokehouse brings in the essence of the particular city. Zameer Basrai, the architect behind the hand illus-trated Deli formats spent a couple of weeks in Bangalore researching the city, its pulse and its lore. All of these have been translated into sketches on the every visible surface at the Deli. The idea is that when you wait for your food to arrive, you can instantly Google any of the names you see around you and will be able to get the whole story - look for the haunted house on St Marks road, the popular bands of the city, the cuckoo clock and more.

Prices are just like most other fast food joints in Bangalore. The place is centrally located and easily acces-sible. Go there if you want to have some quick Mexican and european street food. With good Mexican food at reasonable prices, this place has become our frequent food destination.Apart from a franchise giant of USA its must try for those especially who have not tried mexi-can before.If your taste buds feel like having something spicy and tangy as wll as cheesy all at once then this is the place.Though a very indianised mexican it definately worth trying.It has many branches in Bangalore so do try it whenever possible.

It's a Reasonable and value for money, which are two of the major USP's of this place.Also the refill option for soft drinks. where in you buy a paper glass (cup) and you can have unlimited refills of your choice of soft drink or iced tea!

Not very easy on the pockets and also hours long waiting on week-ends makes the place little hard to acccess but if your are beer person then you have to have to try this place because beer is amazing, be it basanti Blondie, tintin or any of the other choices. PLace with amazing beer, ambi-ence and atmosphere around.

This place is one of the happening places in bangalore especially on the weekends. A great place for hanging out and chilling with friends. The consistency of Toit has just been marvelous. Consistency in terms of drinks, food, service, music or even the large crowd visiting the place.

Try any of the brews and you would not be disappointed. They also play live matches and have big and small screens with easy access from any corner youre seated into.Early reservation is definitely recom-mended here as reserved number of seats are limited.A must visit place even if youre in Bangalore for a day

This place closes very early so its not one of those places where you can have those late evening din-ners. No parking facility so youll have to find a spot on the road.It is easy on pockets and its famous all over india for its idlis .It serves only vegeterian food so for all the non vegeterians please go there only when you want to eat veg.

This place is synonymous with South Indian food like no other place in Bangalore. What can we say about one of the most iconic brands not just in the city, but in the coun-try. Some will claim to be proud to be Bangalorean just because this joint exists in the garden city. The meals here are unlimited and scrumptious, to say the least. It gives you that old bangalore feeling. The food is just the way you expect it to be. Seating and service is quite good. If you order the unlimited meals the food is going to be pretty average so dont get tempted into one of those. Eat light and youll enjoy it.

And a good menu even for veg-etarians.Has Indoor seating and also gives home delivery but only for nearby places.Claims of free wifi which might be a sham.But the service is amazing.

So Mamagoto is about Fun Asian Eating and the experience begins as soon as your enter the place. The walls are covered with canvas prints of the quirky Asian themed art work. Dont miss the Last Sup-per print and the cushions strewn around. Best part is, you can actu-ally buy what you like when you are waiting for your food to arrive.Obviuosly recommend this place to those who love Thai pr pan Asian cuisine.The place has multiple chains across the country and at bangalore its running successfully.It runs packed on weekends but week-days are little easier.

This is also veggie friendly place with yummy multi option place for food.Has vegan buttermilk which should be tried.Not very easy on pockets.

Making food thats healthy and tasty at the same time is not an easy task and I believe that at Carrots has a a good balance between the two Ambiance is fabulous:Great seating and they have a small collection of books on display,its a rather cute place.They also have a few organic items on sale. One of few restaurants in Bangalore that have a gluten-free option as well.Not much crowded. Recomended only for those who are health freaks or are veggie lovers.Its not very crowded and has a nice pleasing atmosphere but service was something which could have been better.

Serafina is a nice dining place with calm atmosphere and plain colors which comes to life with the dim candlelights all over the place. The food is well cooked and one can distinguish the style of cooking by tasting it because the flavor and the taste dont coincide with Indian chefs cooking traditional Italian food. They have a very attractive outdoor seating but the busy lanes there most of the times.Serafina is a perfect place for casu-al dining . If romance is what you are looking for then a seat on the outsides during the early evenings or post 9 pm would be ideal.The deserts are exemplary.
