My TripAdvisor Review No.194: Windmills Craftworks Restaurant, Bengaluru.

“Fine Dining and Freshly Brewed Beer.”
4 of 5 bubblesReviewed yesterdayNEW
This is quite a popular place in Bangalore, so it is better to reserve a table in advance, especially if you are coming from afar. It is located in Whitefield and took us nearly an hour to reach from RT Nagar.

They have a unique system of ordering. You are given an i-pad which you can use to explore the menu options as well as select your choices, from the drinks, starters and mains. You can then buzz your waiter and hand over the tablet with your saved order. It is a good system, but at times the device would hang.

They have their own brewery from which they serve five different varieties of beer or ale. You are given a guided tour of their mini brewery if you so desire. They serve a variety of wines, cocktails and mocktails too.

The food is mostly Continental dishes, both vegetarian as well as non-veg. Among the starters we tried out their ‘honey chilli potato’ and ‘Greek salad’. From the mains we had ‘fried fish and chips’, ‘five spice chicken wings’ and ‘shepherd’s pie’.

The restaurant is lined with bookshelves so you can browse while waiting for your order. The seating is well spread out in a large hall and there is an option to sit out in the balcony and dine in the open air as well.

Though the prices were on the higher side, with service charges included in the bill, we quite enjoyed our dining experience at this unique restaurant.

My TripAdvisor Review No.193: New Shanti Sagar Restaurant, Bengaluru.

“Good Vegetarian Fare.”
4 of 5 bubblesReviewed 4 days agoNEW
This is a good vegetarian restaurant located prominently at the centre of RT Nagar, 80 Feet Road (Main Road), serving South & North Indian, as well as some Chinese dishes. The service is quick and efficient and the waiters are courteous. The prices are very reasonable.

For a quick bite you can grab a snack at the ground floor level. They have an ac section on the first floor where you can dine with family. We visited the restaurant a couple of times when we were in Bangalore. Once I tried the mini South Indian thali, which was quite filling and economical at Rs.80. Another time we ordered North Indian dishes, ‘methi mutter malai’, ‘pudina parathas’ and ‘palak rice’ and quite liked the taste.

The restaurant opens early and serves breakfast dishes like idli, wadas and dosas too. These South Indian 'fast foods' are available throughout the day too.
