Foo Bar

Jalsa Fine Dinning Restaurant

Maratha Halli ,Bangalore

A fancy restaurant in the town. A mughal, palatial, old timers kind of a theme. More of a 'family' kind of a place. They do serve alcohol, though. They have accessories for facebook photos - turbans, swords etc - in case you are interested.

Cafe Coffee Day

ITPL ,Bangalore

Best part - It stays open post 2pm after rest of the Bangalore shuts down. Otherwise you know it's a yet another CCD :)

The Ants Cafe

Indira Nagar 2nd Stage ,Bangalore

Overall - One of its kind. Laid back and unconventional. No ACs with open windows in a calm neighborhood in Indiranagar. Perfect place for a meetup in an afternoon. + a (souvenir?) store that makes the identity of the cafe.

Shiv Sagar

Bannerghatta Road ,Bangalore

Like any other *Sagar cafe, this is also good. Ask for Rava Idli and 'Special Cone IceCream'.

Imagine

Hosur Road ,Bangalore

Pros: Extremely professional, commit to timelines they promise. Cons: Extremely expensive. Service charges are annoyingly high and the spare parts are made available at at least 3 times the price available elsewhere.

This place is one of its kind. Ambiance was good, so was the service. I had the buffet, and it was priced pretty decent. The buffet consisted on infinite number of dishes. I could hardly taste(!) all of them. I would recommend this place to people who are fond of eating (just kidding) or want to try some wonderful Rajasthani cuisine.

Hotel Dasa Prakash

Gandhi Square ,Mysore

Serene and Calm, Akshaya Restaurant@Hotel DasaPrakasha is almost emblematic to Mysore. The concept is similar to what you would have seen in an old coffee shop @Bangalore. Although the place has somewhat aged over time, it definitely would have been one of the best hotels/restaurants in Mysore. A perfect place to get the naive_Mysore kind of experience!

Pai Vista Hotel

BN Road ,Mysore

Gufha@PaiVista Simply Amazing! I never imagined that a restaurant could be so creative till I visited this place. In fact, I was so much captivated by the unique interiors of 'Gufha' that I don't remember how the food was (must have been all right). Gufha is actually a Gufha - the interiors resemble an actual gufha, dimly lit, is cool, and very neatly depicts a live forest. There are artificial cobwebs(but would never give you a feel of detestation even if you hate the slimy creatures) , artificial fuel_torches etc which altogether give a very pleasant experience. In fact, by describing Gufha I am feeling kind of being a spoilsport! Thumbs-Up for Gufha!

Looks deceive. You won't realize how popular this restaurant is, until you actually get in (or rather manage to get in :P). Always crowded, even till late in the afternoons. But from the crowd and the enthu I saw there, I can make out it's an extremely popular food joint! A quintessential place for Andhra cuisine.

Anand Sweets And Savouries

Kammana Halli ,Bangalore

This is the place if you are looking for seasonal sweets(North Indian). Prices are inclined on a higher side, but one is bound to savor the taste.

Bhim Chandra Nag

Bow Bazar ,Kolkata

A classic sweet shop for Bengali sweets. Specially known for 'Sandesh'. They innovate this stuff and you can even find 'Sandesh' for diabetics over here. Quite accessible and finding this shop is not a problem in Kolkata.

A posh confectionery shop in the corner of Park Street. Prices are a bit exorbitant...But this is one place where you can find eggless stuff with variety, ready anytime(without a pre-order). Service is also sufficiently quick.

Mast Kalandar

Maratha Halli ,Bangalore

This place is wonderful for North Indian cuisine. The food is good and almost tastes like home cooked food. Great variety of 'paranthas'. The combo packs are also good. Almost economical and has enough space for letting you 'not waiting' before you get a seat. Even during peak hours, the turn around time is okay.

Geo Tours And Travels

Kalyan Nagar ,Bangalore

My experience with Geo Travels for local travel has been fair so far. They usually have cabs available and the drivers are okay most of the times.

New Krishna Sagar

HBR Layout ,Bangalore

A nice cafe for any appetite. Food IS good. I specially recommend the 'cheeku shake' at KS!

Karachi Bakery

Mozamjahi Market ,Hyderabad

Awesome place for cookies.

The Deccan Pen Stores Green Land

Ameerpet ,Hyderabad

This place had left me amazed, the first time I came here. More than what the name says, these people have an unparalleled collection of pens (all sorts that one can imagine and beyond that). The range (wrt price) starts from 10 to Lakhs of Rupees. The best thing is that the people over here are very friendly and cater the customers with interest, in the process introducing the history of this chain of shops (set up in pre-independence times) and all. A place of its kind - worthy to make a visit to this place, in Hyd.

AMRI Hospital

Salt Lake City ,Kolkata

One of the very best hospitals in Kolkata. Doctors are good and the services(checkups and all sorts of tests) are also good and moderately fast.

Patels Inn Resort

R.T Nagar ,Bangalore

Decent place for go karting. Prices are low on weekdays (except Friday)

Tangerine Restaurant

Koramangala ,Bangalore

You've got to hit this place if you're looking for sizzling sizzlers (veg too!)

SLN Forex Services Private Limited

Gandhi Nagar ,Bangalore

I guess, they have the most profitable economical rates in Bangalore. Good when you have to get foreign currency yourself..

Yo! China

Kammana Halli ,Bangalore

If you've come to YoCHina@KammnaHalli, just turn around and try Hung Pao; Tastier food and low risk (even if you order a un-pronounceable dish)

First of all, it's a Barista...already a plus :) and then it's location...stands high and is open from a side...you go anytime a little late in the evening and the cool breeze adds to the experience of this Barista! Quite spacious and refreshing.

Croma

Kalyan Nagar ,Bangalore

A great find in Bangalore. Croma is a mega store for electronic stuff, endowing almost all big brands. Nice collection and sometimes even better than what you get in a pure_brand store. Sometimes, there are cool offers too!

Appalling collection of tantalizing, mouth watering ice creams :) But of course, pack and carry types. There isn't much space nearby to sit and eat.

Another plus about the collection of books that they have is - You can find the rarest of books over here (I consider it second only to esnips.com wrt finding rare books). Well, Landmark is not just a good bookstore, but also a good toyshop, stationary mart, music_M... They can also boast about having a sufficiently good collection of latest(in the market) electronic gizmos.

Hung Pao

Kammana Halli ,Bangalore

A cool Chinese Restaurant in the city. The complete environment will actually make you feel that your are in a restaurant in China(almost :P) Nice place to try out some peculiarly named dishes(no risks, though).

Shobha Supermarket

Hennur ,Bangalore

The Category in this list is very misleading. It is also(and largely) a typical supermarket which offers all sorts of grocery stuff. A cool, clean and a well managed place. You can also find good amount of stationary stuff over here.

Asiana Express Restaurant

Indira Nagar 2nd Stage ,Bangalore

Substitute to the Sagars @ CMH road for lunch/dinner. Complete self service with many 'combos'. They have a large compound and enough space. So, can sit here for long.

Ambiance of the main hall is good. Food is okay...Didn't like the starters at all. However, the service was good. They responded very well and fast.

GK Vale

Cunningham Road ,Bangalore

To note : The digital photo vending machine.

Reliance Stationery Mart

Commercial Street ,Bangalore

A nice collection of art material, in particular. A combination of classical and modern art material. They have the gamut of possible accessories related to art. It is hard to locate the shop in the busy Commercial Street.

Omega Packers And Movers

Kalyan Nagar ,Bangalore

They pack very well, compact but tact. Never tried their 'Moving' service though.

Barista

Brigade Road ,Bangalore

I give it a thumbs-up over CCD!

It was a landmark for Bangalore years ago, and still maintains it's position. It has been able to maintain it's charisma despite being next to the to_date Brigade road. Amazing collection of sandalwood craftwork ranging from Rs 10 to Rs 10 Lakhs.

New Shanthi Sagar

R.T Nagar ,Bangalore

Rava Idli @New Shanthi Sagar rocks.

Odyssey

R.T Nagar ,Bangalore

Cool gift shop in RT Nagar. I guess it's the only one in RT Nagar.

Vasudev Adiga's

Dickenson Road ,Bangalore

good

It reminds me of - 'oonchi dukaan pheeka pakwan' [Empty Vessels sound much]

Sri Shanthi Sagar

Lingarajapuram ,Bangalore

Great variety. Quick and Hygienic service. Apt for single breakfast/lunch/dinner/snacks/brunch

The mulitplex is okay. Good acoustics and entertainment. The strange thing is that there is no difference in the cost of tickets of the morning show or the matiny show Wednesday or Saturday.The individual halls are also not very big.

Cool Open carting. The cars are not in very good shape but still okay. The track is sufficiently okay. You can low rates from Monday to Thursday. Rates are sky high on weekends

Gangarams Book Bureau

Church Street ,Bangalore

Not a 22nd century book shop.But still has a commendable medley of books. Specially you can get books targeted towards school/college course work

Hotel Regency Park

Kammana Halli ,Bangalore

A typical dhaba cum restaurant in Kammanahalli. Non Bangalorean rates.

Crossword

Residency Road ,Bangalore

One of the best things that I came across in Bangalore. Awesome ambiance for a bookstore! Cool collection. They have a section for bestsellers which can condense your search for a good book. Sit and read comfortably for hours.

Landmark

Koramangala ,Bangalore

Great Collection of Books! Sometimes I feel that it has a collection even better than CrossWord. One of the best franchises in Bangalore.They have a good/rare collection of stationary & art items. You can browse through the store for hours.

Big Bazaar

Old Madras Road ,Bangalore

Why is BigBazar@OldMadrasRoad so special? coz It has the biggest collection of stuff among all BigBs in Blr. + a FoodJoint @BigB rates

Amoeba

Church Street ,Bangalore

Cool bowling spot...but choose your timings, it gets overcrowded in the evenings and you may have to keep waiting for more than hour also!!! But then, the playing alley on the 2nd floor can keep you busy enjoying!

Ebony

M.G Road ,Bangalore

A great place with respect to the scenic beauty you'll enjoy . 13th Floor, and you can see the farthest point in Bangalore.
