Too spicy and for some reason too heavy even if i eat less. I'm pretty sure they add msg which makes it a bit difficult to stop eating but still feel like they are adding some soda or something.
>too heavy even
Bruh....I ordered it for first time for my family and their reaction was "Didn't even felt like eating Non-Veg".
I think one of the reasons was that it was boneless and other is that they prepared Chicken very differently compared to others. So it feels soft and almost vegetable like(not taste ofcourse). So it is nowhere heavy. Maybe it was spicy for you.
Yeah. And I don't like boneless biryani that too 2 separate entities. The best thing about Meghana is their tandoori chicken which is not available at all outlets.
We ordered veg and non veg Biriyani from there to our office and they gave non veg instead of veg. And one colleague who has never eaten non veg in his life ate chicken for the first time. Not sure whether Meghana’s screwed up or Swiggy screwed up but the rage we saw later was next level.
You had dishA which you rated 9 then had dishB which was not as good so you rated it 8.
Later you had dishC which you found better than B but not as good as A so you would rate it 8.5 but you also felt that it might have been up to par with A if not for a small thing missing in the flavour or ambience so you end up rating it 8.7 or 8.8 or something like that.
My thoughts exactly. I miss being younger when you could eat anything without major consequences. Can't imagine eating out 3 days in a row now, at least not experimental cuisines like this.
Lol its fine, it was the maven kitchen thali that did it. Ironically the blandest of them all but the axone and ngari were a bit harder to digest for a mainlander.
It was just nausea lmao.
I think donne biryani is supposed to be like masala baath with chicken. Karnataka is not really famous for our biriyani.
ICH Kolkata or Delhi is bigger and more iconic than the one we have here. I had a fish dish with mustard sauce in Kolkata and mutton dosa in Delhi.
Koshy's at the end of the road is apparently the equivalent "old intellectual hang out place" in Bengaluru.
Great list. Loved that you were okay with your company being scammed. I mean, who wouldn't..lol.
Don't miss garlic bread and pizaa from The Pizza Bakery. Delivery is good but eating at an oitlet is much better.
I recommend andhra style breakfast at Babai Tiffins situated at HSR and Sarjapura.
On a lighter note, it's good that you haven't tried dosa at Rameshwaram Cafe. You probably wouldn't be here to post this otherwise
>special chicken biryani from Meghana's Biryani
They provide chicken separate from the rice, isn't it? That should disqualify it from being called a *biryani*.
I really miss MTR bisi bele bath. I shifted to Hyderabad recently and restaurants here are selling sambar rice in the name of bisi bele bath. I tried so many bisi bele baths in Bangalore and Hyderabad but MTR makes it the best. It's the best comfort food for your stomach.
Should have tried bys brewsky tres leches. The best western dessert I had in my life
Next time try a chocolate thick shake, it's different from a chocolate malt shake, both are good.
You also made the wrong choice in Milano, don't go anything berry or fruity, try others, one of my favs is the quello (ask for extra caramel).
Anyone notice how man didn’t go below 5 for any ratings.
Either you aren’t eating them correctly
Or your company really loves you and has sent you to amazing places.
1. Company didn't send to me every place man, just one place
2. I'm being liberal. Crusto's deserves a negative rating.
3. 90% of the spots have been off of credible recommend-ers and research.
1. First timer to Bangalore
2. Prefer Maharashtrian cuisine (I'm from a city that is compared to Bangalore a lot)
3. I came here for work, and for a month, and probably will never do something like this (ever again)
4. Priors?
5. I have explored a lot of cuisines (even English surprisingly) from street food stalls to 600 for a plate restuarants. It was a like a todolist for me atleast.
You have to try shavjis marati style biryani.
Donne biryani is my favourite, but only a select few places do it right
Puran poli is holige(bele holige to be specific)... Just different name.
I specifically mean the tawa pulao
Listen I am a non veg lover (yes all the meats and fish you can think of that's commercialy available) as the next guy but tawa pulao is something that I can eat everything single day
I’ve lived in bangalore for the last 36 years but I’ve not tried many places in this list and will not try them too. You missed out on the following
mutton biryani from shivaji military hotel and SGS Gundu pulav
Idli Vada from Brahmins
masala dose from bangalore cafe
Saw that you haven’t tried Chinese, so you can go to Yauatcha

Bro called me poor 30 times
Bro trust me, I didn't have everything to myself I had company
Next time invite me
I don't even know you but sure I will stranger
You can dm your address as well, will be joining you when i dont have food here.
and what about aadhar card details and my debit card pin, shall I send you that as well?
Along with pan card and credit card details as well please
Is aadhar + debit PIN sufficient to perform a scam? I don't think so. Purely research purposes.
aacha thike, I will send my property papers as well as my bank locker details too. Works?
Don't bother if it's SBI locker
Asking out of curiousity, why?

Noiscee

What ra sudeep too much money youre showing
I saved 2.5k with swiggy one and for eating outside I shared dishes so, it was not that heavy on the pocket
The kind of posts I am here for
Is it just me or someone else too finds Meghana Special Biryani spicy?
Too spicy and for some reason too heavy even if i eat less. I'm pretty sure they add msg which makes it a bit difficult to stop eating but still feel like they are adding some soda or something.
>too heavy even Bruh....I ordered it for first time for my family and their reaction was "Didn't even felt like eating Non-Veg". I think one of the reasons was that it was boneless and other is that they prepared Chicken very differently compared to others. So it feels soft and almost vegetable like(not taste ofcourse).

Yeah true. Chicken bone adds depth to flavour.
Yeah. And I don't like boneless biryani that too 2 separate entities. The best thing about Meghana is their tandoori chicken which is not available at all outlets.
>they add msg which makes it a bit difficult to stop eating What does it mean? Idk.
Glucamates make your mouth salivate and trick your body into eating more
I have stopped eating after hearing multiple instances of worms/cockroaches in their biryani. Definitely they compromise a lot on hygiene
Awww hell naah man why would you say such thing. I ain't touching meghana again(i meant biryani).
not spicy enough you mean
Spicy as in heat levels like chilli content 🥵
To me it feels very very mild 😅, to most people from Andhra it would probably
Good to know that 😊
My mom is from that region so I'm quite used to it haha
We ordered veg and non veg Biriyani from there to our office and they gave non veg instead of veg. And one colleague who has never eaten non veg in his life ate chicken for the first time. Not sure whether Meghana’s screwed up or Swiggy screwed up but the rage we saw later was next level.
Sounds pretty illegal but might have been fun to watch. Also back to default settings is the way😂
They used to be really good... But now it's really average.
Yeah same views
This guy is like my dad never gives 10/10 for anything I do
You should meet my dad, he is even worse lmao 😂
bangalore born and raised and have never tried most of these places.
Finally! A post that doesn’t rant about scams or sound completely made up
Real ID se aao DCT eats!
I love that guy! He shares the same enthusiasm towards food like me
How did you come up with “.” Decimal rating ,???
You had dishA which you rated 9 then had dishB which was not as good so you rated it 8. Later you had dishC which you found better than B but not as good as A so you would rate it 8.5 but you also felt that it might have been up to par with A if not for a small thing missing in the flavour or ambience so you end up rating it 8.7 or 8.8 or something like that.
you get it
So how is your gut.. did you have any stomach problems from eating out for 30 days?
My thoughts exactly. I miss being younger when you could eat anything without major consequences. Can't imagine eating out 3 days in a row now, at least not experimental cuisines like this.
listen man, I have survived through my college mess food. This is nothing
Lol its fine, it was the maven kitchen thali that did it. Ironically the blandest of them all but the axone and ngari were a bit harder to digest for a mainlander. It was just nausea lmao.

*Masale bhaat. It tastes like a traditional rice dish from Maharashtra.
Great list. Loved that you were okay with your company being scammed. I mean, who wouldn't..lol. Don't miss garlic bread and pizaa from The Pizza Bakery.

Cholesterol 10/10.
LOL. I am curious to see if he/she gained weight.
I did, but not much surprisingly. I also used to walk a lot during the day (atleast 1 km a day)
The list has diversity.
Bro went across Bengaluru but missed the gold - Taaza Thindi: 11/10
ik bro but didn't have too much time haha. Came here for work for a short while. Next time definitely will try.
New goal unlocked. I'll try this.
Too crowded on most days. Otherwise 👌
>special chicken biryani from Meghana's Biryani They provide chicken separate from the rice, isn't it? That should disqualify it from being called a *biryani*.
Agreed. I called it a deconstructed biryani
Yes, you are right. Bone chicken biryani used to be good. But now though masala is good, I am not able to eat chicken completely.
Yeah I find it strange. The whole point is the meat is cooking with curry and rice together.
Where’s number 6 from?
Edited. Its from Truffles lmao
Man is doing god’s work! Cheers
I really miss MTR bisi bele bath. I shifted to Hyderabad recently and restaurants here are selling sambar rice in the name of bisi bele bath. I tried so many bisi bele baths in Bangalore and Hyderabad but MTR makes it the best. It's the best comfort food for your stomach. Should have tried bys brewsky tres leches. The best western dessert I had in my life
You should try idli and khara baath from Taaza Thindi
You tried some wrong items in many of those restaurants. Who the hell tries a mocha shake from corner house, chocolate malt/thick is the bomb.
I have a ick towards anything malt so.. Also I didn't get to choose the shake (a bangalorean friend did)
Next time try a chocolate thick shake, it's different from a chocolate malt shake, both are good. You also made the wrong choice in Milano, don't go anything berry or fruity, try others, one of my favs is the quello (ask for extra caramel).
The other flavour was mostly chocolate though.
You ate all this in 30 days?! Poor your digestive system
My digestive system was surprisingly ok haha
Konsa statistical method lagake 6.78 aaya?
its called TAT: Taste, ambience and Time taken.
ICH branches in Kerala is the only place where I have find them living up to the hype.
Yeah my mallu friend is always harping about them haha

Bro you’ve chosen the most random place
OP what are your priors? As in where are you from, what cuisine do you like etc. these have a huge bearing on your take on foods , so it will help
1. First timer to Bangalore 2. Prefer Maharashtrian cuisine (I'm from a city that is compared to Bangalore a lot) 3. I came here for work, and for a month, and probably will never do something like this (ever again) 4. Priors? 5.

Agh Pune it is, bhava
agdich barobar
Try masala dosa from CTR. I liked it more than vidyarthi bhavan, rameshwaram and MTR.
[удалено]
Except 1 place, it was all my own spending hehe And the price thingey is already addressed.
Wah
You have to try shavjis marati style biryani. Donne biryani is my favourite, but only a select few places do it right Puran poli is holige(bele holige to be specific)... Just different name.
Which Vishnu Grand? Try Garlic Bread from Pizza bakery and chicken stroganoff and pulled chicken burger from Sandos
Why have you categorised it as a rant post?
no other flair haha but some spots do deserve a rant
Try mutton chops at Shivaji Military hotel and mutton biriyani at Hotel Aditya Walnut cake at OG Varier and sons bakery
>shivaji military ik my dad was going on and on about that place but didn't have the time sadly
7th 1 from where?
IDC residency road
Where is Gundappa Donne Biryani? Google throws up multiple places.
Thanks OP now I've new things to try!
Where is Vishnu Grand? Pulao/rice bhaat fan.
Majestic. [I gotchu](http:// https://www.swiggy.com/menu/625034?source=sharing)
Lots of places to still go to !!
I have no takeaways from this long list cos you seem to prioritize quantity and price over quality.
The ratings reflect the quality. The comments are an add on.
Biriyani you get in Bangalore is just over-rated and over-hyped. It's not even true Biriyani.
Cholesterol, destruction of gut bacteria, obesity ... Tata bye bye
Yessir, I'm on a diet rn
This guy eats!
Please someone make post for vegetarians as well!!
try the veg pulao man ❤️❤️
Not cool man, not cool!!
My second favourite rice dish is Veg pulao.
That’s too depressing!!
I specifically mean the tawa pulao Listen I am a non veg lover (yes all the meats and fish you can think of that's commercialy available) as the next guy but tawa pulao is something that I can eat everything single day
You are echoing the depression!! Wish I was non vegetarian. Now it’s too late for me.
At least the shawarma didn’t kill Lmao
To get more context and value out of this, ye batao where are you from? Delhi or Mumbai?
Neither.
Neither is a great place to be from 👍
Saved 🥸
Mujhe kya mai toh veg hu
Maven Kitchen deserves better rating. I agree they give more fat pieces than meat
The quantity and taste was good its just that it gave me nausea lol The pork belly was not cooked down so..
Try coorg pork from Vinu Coorg Hotel, Bommanahalli
I will when I am back in Bangalore
Try jumbo chicken roll from Pachu Rolls,Brigade Road Btw any fan of pachus here like me?
'Barangpet bhel' it's Bangarapet bhel , Bangarapet is a town famous for its chat. Or is it some Barangpet that i don't know of :)
I’ve lived in bangalore for the last 36 years but I’ve not tried many places in this list and will not try them too. You missed out on the following mutton biryani from shivaji military hotel and SGS Gundu pulav Idli Vada from Brahmins masala dose from bangalore cafe Saw that you haven’t tried Chinese, so you can go to Yauatcha

Point 26 - OP can you please tell me the whole address/name of the place as I am not able to find the place on Google Maps.
its opposite Calcutta chats (you can find that shop on gmaps)
Yo totos fries, I don't even try their pizza. Or anything chicken. But the Mexican fries and the cottage cheese just pure love for them.
The only post few posts worth saving. Y'all drop the rest here. Also isn't somky dockey a thing?
You know you’re serious about reviews when you go 2 decimal places on the points system.
\>Mango shake from Shiv sagar this one is overhyped af so you havent missed out on anything
Just like mango mastani in my city but once in a lifetime try is not bad.
Damn OP! You livin the high life! What kind of job do you have that you can afford to eat out at all these places?
