Located so near to my place it was a must visit place for me and iam quite in love with this place. This place is the best to hang around have fun shopping atleast as far as South Bangalore is concerned. Being amazingly spacious and not very crowded adds to splendid pleasure. As the name suggests TOTAL you can actually find every possible thing out here. This place is best recommended for grocery the value for money is high and very economical suiting all middle class budgets.
Now to the negatives of this place nothing is perfect is it? The management services are poor. I was looking for lip care in the cosmetics section and I asked sales girl who suggested me a never seen before brand which was priced at some 85 rupees and when I inquired about alternatives she tried convincing me to buy the suggested one saying no other alternatives were present! Can you believe that not even Vaseline. You better look for things yourselves at this place and donât take the help of management.
BTW the biggest surprise awaits you at the exit they actually check your handbags on your way out! Total really needs a better way to monitor shop lifting. Apart from that ample parking space is available but the parking is paid.
Offers and discounts are good pricing is great, I shopped for some 2000 INR and they gave me a sweet small kadai free:). I suggest you visit every month to get your provisional needs from here.

I had been to forum with my family and it was too late in night around 10.00Pm and well we dint want to gorge on pizza so we asked the pizza manger at forum and he suggested we visit the hyderabad house which was just walkable distance from forum.
While we reached Hyderabad house and went ahead to order the manager told us they were out of stock!! Ok agree it was late but is 10 PM that late ?
But well we visited this place again after about three weeks the food was just fab biryani is yummy and spicy sweets are great but but the service is nothing to brag about. I would suggest this as a great place to home deliver food for take aways. The ambiance is bad, crowd is awful but this place will sustain it all and get you back just for its superb Hyderabadi tasty menu.!

Nik-nish at forum is one very luxurious place to shop for you accessories. Since the inception of The forum i have always chosen niknish for shopping jewelery which stand out.
every time i wear a niknish piece to my college i am bound to receive atleast a dozen queries of the cost and the place where i purchased it along with a bunch of "wows"!
The peal sets, stoned jewelery, gucci watches and the weightless earrings rock you to core. If you wanna make a style statement then niknish is the place.
Talking about cons the customer service is poor , They donât accept return at all. My friend brought a some 3 pairs of earring and one pair wasnât proper and when she went to return the manager said it was damaged by her!. And well be prepared for stalking , a representative will always be stalking you when you are trying to choose apparently for preventing pickpockets !

The video shows , the puppets,pottery,masks, photographs and whole lot of other things are exhibited here which takes us back to karnatakas roots and its heritage.Lot of rural artis on display with houses and many other equipments of rural times depicted. The boating in the small lake makes it more intresting for children.

I had visited this place with my school on a fun trip.
It was real good we had a lot of fun the ambiance is great, Swimming pools rock, There is this great garden with variety of plants, an artificial water fall, a bridge, a cave and some good food too.
But i recommend this place for children with parents only. The fresh air is great the scenery will make you fall in love with this place , actually when we were ther there was a kannada teleserial shooting on !
So worth visiting and well about cost i cant sy much coz we had it free with all expenses paid by our school.

Big bazaar i guess the name has it all. Th brand value is enough to convince but well i agree this place offers the cheapest of all but i found this place not very hygienic and the billing takes eternity sometimes.
Clothes are a great buy here especially cotton skirts variety is excellent. variety is good discounts and offers are one thing which can drive you here often.
But dont make the mistake of visiting during peak you may well end up staying here ! And well another warning customer service is not the best

Fun world is one of the best place for kids in bangalore. Fun world is very popular with children and youth as it is very cheap compared to alternatives present like wonderla.
I visited funfort with my friends it was a fun filled outing with friends and the cost fitting well with our limited budgets. There are food options available as in chats and stuff. While the rides are concerned many options available all covered under your entry fee but there are certain exception for which you to pay additionally like the dashing cars.
Apart from that a wide variety of games for both adults and children is available. But for under 5 year olds the options are limited. The games can be played multiple times with just a onetime pay.
games include Tora tora, columbus, roller coaster, dashing chairs, train ride,merry go round, gaint wheel and many more. The best part is the rides are safe and not too risky.
Ample free Parking space provided and the plus point is it is within the city in palace grounds and you dont have to travel a lot.

Living in BTM layout i was exited when spencers came to BTM layout, situated right opposite the subhiksha outlet it same competition to beat.
The store is decent with variety available but the billing takes some time too crowded at peak times but the vegetables are fresh and they claim it to be eco friendly and organic too.
Best part they accept credit cards for payment so if you want to buy soem househole stuff and have no cash come here !

This is great place to shop especially because everything here is very cheap. I bet you cant find anything cheaper at other malls.
bargaining is allowed, collection of photo frame in some shops is exotic, parking space available, escalator takes you up but you got to get yourselves along worth all the stuff you shopped by stairs!
Great place ample value for money, the restaurant can help you binge on chats, ice creams, juices and lots of other stuff.
accessories rock, clothing both western n Indian is a delight, Grandfather clock collection, footwear, blankets,hand bags, and lots of other stuff visit now !
enjoy shopping the very different n new way

i visited this place just a day back.
It is an awesome place to shop for traditional stuff like ghagra cholis, chudidars, sherwanis, sarees and a lot more.
Clothing is the best part of this place but other stuff like babies section, gifts, and accessories are very good too. I loved their display and their collection of hijab for Muslim women is great.
I recommend it especially for girls and women, for men the exclusive sherwani collection is outstanding with sherwanis available in every colour, size and range.
I just went with my cousin as she is a regular there and was left wonder struck , Must visit if you are planning for marriage.

Forum Mall in kormangala is a great place to hang out with friends. Shop, binge, movie all at one roof. It is a very excellent and marvelously designed mall which is highly crowded on weekends. For budget minded i have to say this place is cheaper than other high end malls like Bangalore Central and garuda mall.
Ample parking available and variety of brands to shop from. I like the Niknish collection of accessories and since inception of Forum ive been shopping all my accessories here. Movie watching is an exciting experience here with some 11 PVR screens . Mac donalds adds up to all the fun making this place my gangs fav hangout.
Net surfing here is damn good experience as if you are in royalty along with all this is bose, westside, apple, KFC, pizza hut and subway outlet to make your outing exemplary visit atleast once in a lifetime !
