hey nice work aditya,seems a very intresting thread for ppl like me who are die heart foodie and as v no that saadi dilli is the food paradise in INDIA so,i hope i ll contribute here very much and lets initiate to post for this delicious thread

popcorn trivia
Popcorn has been a food product for over 6,000 years.
Popcorn pops because of the moisture content inside the shell. Each kernel of corn consists of a soft starch inside and a hard shell outside. As the kernel is heated, the moisture inside the kernel expands, the soft starch is cooked, and it bursts the outer shell with a pop. The kernels must contain at least 13.5% water in order to explode.

Did I hear FOOD?

Well well well...now in Delhi and I dont know many places here. So what? I was in Bangalore for more than 2.5 years. I'll share info on some of the great places to eat in Bangalore:

1. Mast Kalandar- This place serves THE best and tastiest food. My favourite restaurant by far. OK...dont belive it? I am a hardcore maansahaari (non-veg ) but this place, despite being only veg., is my fav restaurant. Great taste, ambience and healthy food at a reasonable price. What more does one want? Your life is incomplete if you haven't had food there. (ok ok...got a little too excited )

2. Barbeque Nation- Non veg = Barbeque Nation . At Rs. 450/-, the buffet might sound expensive, but wait until you binge on the starters. Its worth it. A foodie like me eats food worth much more than 450 there...so its paisa vasool. The starters are amazing...chicken, mutton, fish, prawns...plus two-three veg ones. Then the main course is also good and finally the desserts are a great finish to the awesome food.

3. Taste of Rampur- Its opp. Forum, next to Hyderabad House. Awesome non-veg you get there. A tad expensive, but trust me folks, its worth it! Great ambience, great non-veg. The chicken shorba is a must have. Its aroma is ummm.....I wanted to seal that khushboo in a bottle

4. Oye Amritsar- At Church Street, this is a great place to have food in a punjabi village like set-up. If you are the posh-type, have it at Oye-Shaava...same building, same owner...just one floor below Oye Amritsar.

5. Gramin- Good vegetarian food, offers a village like set-up. Just a bit costly though.

6. Zaika- Next to Gramin , much cheaper, veg. food and tastes a bit better than Gramin. Ambience is nil though, but definitely worth a go, esp. if there is a long waiting queue at Gramin If you are there, you must try their Spinach soup. It slays!

7. Legacy of Punjab- If you are too keen to spend too much, go there. Ambience is really really good, but food is just ok. Its on Richmond Road. Village-like walls, filmy posters of Sunny pa-ji, Mithun Da (aey...kya re! *gives a pelvic thrust* ), DDLJ and the like, its fun! Food is still ok, sometime you got to go to some place for its sheer ambience too. Note: Don't get scared if at 2 p.m. the music volume increases and the waiters start doing Bhangra Its their daily routine n lasts for 3-4 mins. Its fun!

8. Bobby da Dhaba- OK, you may have heard a lot of good things about this. Its really a dhaba...very good food! Its adjacent to the Gurudwara, on the end of MG Road. But recently, Bobby pa-ji has become more business minded and increased the prices, but still worth going there.

9. Meghna's Biryani- Its adjacent to Paramount Hotel in Koramangala. never been there, but have got rave reviews about its biryani. Some say its the best biryani in Bangalore.

10. Hyderabad House- Another biryani house. Good quantity and good taste. The normal biryani might taste a bit bland to most, so better order a double masala biryani.

11. Chandni Chowk- Mehenga hai but khana aur ambience theek hai. Nothing to write home about. Pretty decent.

12. The Dhaba- Its all about the great ambience...village setup. Heard its costly (probably thats why I've never been there ) Always wanted to try it though, never got the time.

13. Bon-South- Super South Indian food. Costly but definitely worth a go.

14. Rice Bowl- Again...costly and upmarket. Good for Chinese and Thai food lovers. I don't like Chinese though

15. Radha Hometel- Now where from a restaurant in Whitefield come up in my list? Simple...its near my office and had a few team lunches there. Its obviously costly but the desserts simply blow you away. The caramel custard is a must-have.

Some more respectable mentions: Dal Roti, Aangan, Three-Quarter Chinese, Hyderabad Biryani.


Metal's words of wisdom for foodies: If still confused on where to go and what to have, go to KFC

First of all, heartfelt thanks to Aditya for opening this thread.We foodies can sure have lot of fun here.

Let me start off with a review here.
Tried out the restaurant Machan in Mani Square Mall in Kolkata.
The decor(if I can say so ) resembles a jungle and the dim lighting makes for a relaxed ambience.

Started off with Tamatar Dhania Shorba(nice),Jal jeera(okay okay types),Bhune huye makai k daane(Awesome) and Bharatpur ka chaat(bit sweet,but refreshingly different).

Ordered Ajwaini roti,Pattewali roti and Tandoori roti alongwith Kadai paneer and Kaale Chhole(too good,must try..I relished the leftover at breakfast today ).

Though I didn't try non-veg,but it too has been recommended quite heavily by my friends who have been there.

Service at Machan was of pretty high standards.After every course,they do come and ask for shortcomings,if any.

An interesting thing that happened is that while we had asked all the roties to be buttered,they somehow missed out on that part.So by the time they took it back and applied butter on it and got it back,it became quite hard.So,when we brought it to their notice,they got the entire section of breads redone and made it complimentary
Machan also the provision for drinks at not too costly rates
In short,a place worth visiting for the food and service
