Good
Additional R to the consistency
I have been to the RR on church street and love the Biryani and the andhra thali there.
RRR, though looked similar from outside, i did enquire with the staff there if it belongs to the same group. They said yes and added an extra R to this and handed over the menu card.
Since, its been quite a while I went to RR, I wanted to take the thali and my friend ordered the Biryani, his alltime favourite.
The meal was absolutely spicy with the hot rasam, sambhar, pulusu, chatni pudi etc.. The food tasted the same, but the ambience in the church street branch is better anyday. Even the service here wasnt all that great though it was quick. The waiters werent as courteous as the ones you find in RR. Since, I was too hungry and was concerned only about the food, I relished it thouroughly!!

Average
For Breakfast and Snacks
This place hidden amidst the subhiksha mall in 3rd block, which I did not sight for quite a while!
Most of the times filled with the college goers and the middle aged, this place serves the good south indian breakfast, chaats and fresh fruit juice.
The compound of the building accomodates 4 tables made of black granite stone with 2 plastic chairs on either side and a big slab of granite on the other side which could accomodate 2 / 3 people at a time.
I have been to this place around 3 times now, its never been disappointing. The upma and the masala dosa tastes great for breakfast, the snacky time chaat was good and the fresh fruit juices are ok.
One of the favorite adda for namma Bengaluru collegers to hang out and create cacophony!!!

Excellent
Heavenly!!
Having read about the theme – The Poolside Brunch, my friend and I decided to binge there on Sunday. We had made our prior bookings as always and arrived a little late. Thanks to the non-stop Bangalore showers.
We headed straight to the 7th floor, just to realize how beautiful the race course looks. We could view the entire race course and this was the first time, I gotta see it this way!! Just amazing! The dining hall has the glass wall and we sat tight next to it to enjoy the beauty of Bangalore from the 7th Floor.
I was too delighted to experience their theme. We went around and checked whats there on the buffet menu, the games, the pool, the live music, caricature, face painting and astrology (where the parrot picks the card to tell you about the fortune).
We just settled in our respective table, and we were immediately approached to ask us on what we’d like to have for the drinks. They had a choice of unlimited Beer and inhouse Wine. We opted for wine, and it tasted like the port wine. A few minutes later, we were also served 2 kinds of starters – babycorn with red and yellow peppers and the other one was mixture of many vegetables in an onion and tomato based gravy.
In between the meal, I went and got the scorpion painted on my back, played the shooting game, in which I failed undoubtedly and managed to somehow hook the bottle in the other game. The spread of salad was good enough to satisfy our palate. The main course had multiple types of rice and the gravy mix, the appam with the vegetable stew and there was white rice with the dal makhni and yellow dal. Since, it was brunch, there was an option to have the different kinds of corn flakes with cold milk, pista milkshake and strawberry milkshake (they call this kesar kalakand). Ofcourse there were buns, breads and the croissants.
Before we headed for the dessert, gave pose for the caricature and tried our luck with the parrot astrology :)
The dessert comprised of the white forest and black forest, tiramisu, chocolate pyramid, doodh peda, 2 types of Bengali sweets, jamoon and many others the names of which I’m unable to recollect. They did not have the icecream, but when asked, they immediately got 2 big scoops of vanilla icecream.
After the heavy brunch, I got the Arabic style mehendi applied on my hand. Definitely never wanted to miss on this one!!
The brunch costs Rs.650 + tax per person which I feel was worth the experience.
The experience was quite different to me till date. Kids were the happiest running all over and getting painted everywhere possible. Truly, for a weekend outing where one wants to spend time, 7th Heaven is the place to be.

Good
Sweets and Chaats
They serve the authentic idly, dosa with mouth watering coconut chutney and sambhar in the South Indian Counter
Apart from those mentioned above, they have a chaat section, where a few northies freshly make and serrve the chaats.
This arrangement, they say is made to maintain the authencity of both South Indian and North Indian.
I love the chaats here more than the idly and the dosa. The dahi bhalla, kachori, raj kachori, aloo tikki chaat tastes heavenly :)
Amongst the sweet served here, the pedas, the juicy bengali sweets satisgfies my sweet tooth. Benne Muruku, pakoda, mixture, chakli, kodbale etc are always fresh. They sell the tastiest of the pickle, chutney, gongura chutney etc.. to name a few.
All in all, a good place for a evening hangout for sweets and chaats.

An Old Gem - Redefined
I used to visit this place with my dad often when it was on Bull Temple Road. After, it was shifted to the Katte Balaga Road, for whatever reasons, I never went there.
This evening, when I heading back home, my friend suggested we should go there and as always, I need the smallest reason to eat :)
The masala dosa was crispy, the Khali dosa (the best here) was soft and mushy as usual, the avarekalu khara bath was amazing!! And all this with the tasty coconut chutney. The very thought of it is making me drool over it..
Apart from these, they also serve super pineapple kesari bath, masala vada and filter coffee.
This new place looks quite different from the old one on bull temple road. This one has a few modern tables and settee, though its slightly congested and one should never mind sharing it with the unknown, well lit with bright interiors and ofcourse the friendly waiters!
