Regular and Middling Dec 10, 2011
Lounge 9 Anna Nagar | 1 review
Typical, regular and middling. That's the short of it.
It’s easy to evaluate a World XI. The benchmarks are known, expectations known and target set. Not so with the run of the mill. So am going to skip the rhetoric’s and be done with this. But I’ll add this is no fun for the reviewer.
Soups – the Garlic Soup was a surprise. The broth locked the garlic flavor just fine, wasn’t too thick and the chopped vegetables went along just fine. The cream of Mushroom soup was okay. I thought I liked the Russian Salad but then in one of the mouthfuls I thought the mayonnaise coating was... read more -

La pizza grande Dec 03, 2011
Tuscana Pizzeria Nungambakkam | 81 reviews
May be the next time the European Union meets on resolving the sovereign crisis, they should fly out Pizza's from this place. No, seriously. It should keep the politics out, and convince members for a generous bail out package to Italy.
I've tasted Pizza in all possible places. From those with nice marketing budgets, ones listed on the stock markets to those tossed up in over-priced buffets. While I enjoyed the crusts in some, I enjoyed the toppings in others. But nothing prepared me for this. I realized this was may be the first time I've tasted Pizza the way it ought to be. Like a Russi... read more -

What Ice cream? Jun 14, 2011
Emilio's Gelateria Besant Nagar | 6 reviews
So I just tasted what should compete for the worst ice creams ever.
I'm a big fan of Gelato and subscribe to the subtle variations in flavor this branch of dessert caters to. And we've set high bench marks post introduction to Subway's Fresco.
Emilio's served up Ice cream that reeked of strong cheap essence. I did not gravitate to any of the fancy variations and stuck to 'Chocolate'. Now, I don't know what Choco gelato is made of but I could feel the bland flavor of choc powder that probably went into making this. For a change of taste I tucked into my friends Orange flavour... read more -

Taste of Goodness - Cholayil Sanjeevanam Nov 19, 2009
Cholayil Sanjeevanam Nungambakkam | 11 reviews
The ubiquitous Banana Leaf often sets the tone for the good times, albeit momentary, to follow. Your inspection normally includes checking for blemishes, holes and the occasional dead ant. And sometimes you plain donâ??t like the shade of green and request for a change to a more palatable green. But when was the last time you got a rainforest shade â??elaiâ?? with drops of dew of such amazing freshness that you almost head the gushing backwaters of Kerala? I am of course exaggerating but it helps you set the tone for the freshness to follow.
Somebody once said, all things good in life... read more -

Idly and Dosai Apr 16, 2009
ID (Idly & Dosa) Royapettah | 24 reviews
These days, the conversations surrounding ‘Idly & Dosai’ goes like this.
Me: “Hey, I went to Idly & Dosai”
Friend: “Oh, where did you eat”
Me: “I went 'to' Idly & Dosai”
Friend: “Oh! You mean that’s the name of the place?”
Me: “Yes”
Friend: Yada yada (tell me more)
I chanced upon this joint a while back after the evening show of SDM. “Ah, another wanna be restaurant”. I assumed they were one of those guys charging INR 45 for a plate of idly’s. Post this I heard some great reviews about the place and chanced upon it while... read more -
