Food underneath Art

by BonnieVictoria about Tandoor

You would enjoy first the art, food comes second. Not that the restaurant's north indian fare is not as enjoyable but its breathtaking hand-painted ceiling will truly command your attention and keep you affix for a long time. The restaurant which existed more than 10 years, right until about 5 years ago they decided to spruce up the restaurant, hiring experts from the north to hand paint the ceiling with detailed delicate fine strokes and vibrant colours. I learned that it took more than 6 months to cover the entire restaurant's ceiling. Combining such fine artwork and delectable meal.. it truly invigorates your five senses making your dining experience there quite surreal. Rather steep on price, its worthwhile. My first bite into the roti naan is just so memorable. Though it's just an accompaniment to your main dishes, I can just eat it on its own. Its delectable crispiness, toasted just right in the tandoor (earthen pot) it is just so comforting to your tummy. Unfortunately, being a high end restaurant, we have to dine with silverware though I believe it would be more enjoyable to dish in the tradition way - au natural fingers smacking lickin style...

"Snapshots From Bangalore 1"

Visvesvaraya Industrial & Technological Museum is probably a misfit in the Bangalore of today. Once upon a time, this city was famous for science and its scientists. Today, the science of commercialization has taken over. Nevertheless, this museum rocks. A "live" dinosaur reminded me of my carefree childhood days *dreamy-eyed*

"Snapshots From Bangalore 2"

Call it the Garden City or Silicon City, Bangalore has a myriad faces on display. More than sight seeing of buildings/monuments, its worth looking at the modernity and popular culture of the current generation.
