Restaurants and Hotels in Bangalore - My Reviews



You can find reviews about restaurants close to your area in the popular forums like http://www.zomato.com/

Here, I put my experiences with Bangalore restaurants.


1.) Aagamam Veg Restaurant (Just opposite to Indira Nagar Metro Station)


Address:
3rd Floor, No - 545, C.M.H Road, Near Metro Station, Indiranagar IInd Stage, Bangalore
Timing: 12:00 noon to 3:00 pm Phone: 9742346664, 080-40956662

 Offer:
      Snapdeal offer : (Rs. 40 to avail a Buy-1-Get-1 offer on veg lunch buffet)

 Review:
      We, group of 8 people went on May 31, 2013 (Friday) for Veg buffet lunch.  The final bill without any hidden costs comes around Rs. 150 per person !.  They greeted us with the butter milk.  Then, they gave Tomato shorba soup which was not good.  After complaining to their manager, they replaced it with the babycorn soup which was good.  Then, we had Salads, Starters, Rotis, Rice items and Desserts.  The quality, quantity, taste, service, ambience, number of items all are good.  Kids can enjoy the metro train view as this restaurant is located just opposite to the Indira nagar metrostation.  I was thoroughly satisfied with this place.  It is really a steal offer ! enjoy.

Temples In Bangalore

1.) Someshwara Temple, Madivala :

                This is one of the ancient temples in Bangalore.
This temple is not known to many people even in that locality !.
It is a small temple, and Yoga classes are conducted in that temple every morning.
I like this temple very much.

>>
History: That’s Madivala in Bangalore. The temple is said to be a Chola period structure, making it one among Bangalore’s oldest. The earliest record dates to 1247 AD and refers to lands donated ''below the big tank of Vengalur'' by a resident of 'Veppur' (Begur), writes Meera Iyer

2.) Ragi guddada Temple, Jaya Nagar :

               Must visit temple.  It is located close to Central Mall in JP Nagar.
It is very clean and well maintained.  In the entrance, they give a plastic bag to keep our foot wears.
Also what ever the small money you give to the priests goes to the Hundiyal (Money locker) directly !.  It is a calm place in the bustling surrounding !
