Fame Shankarnag Chitramandir, MG Road, Bangalore

Cinema, not multiplex!

This is one of those cinema experiences that you seldom get these days. It's an old cinema hall which has been given a makeover. Gives you the ambiance of today's plush multiplex luxury and sound/video effects along with the feeling of being in an old huge cinema hall.

A few more advantages:

• Rates to suit all pockets
• Ample parking space
• Good interval menu
• Easily approachable from everywhere in Bangalore

The queue area at the entrance is a little less organized, but that should not deter you from having a wonderful experience.

Rating - 9 on 10.

Barbeque Nation, Indira Nagar, Bangalore

The name says it all!

They'll put a barbeque on your table, and no, it's not just for non-vegetarians.
There is so much variety on the daily snacks and buffet, and not the forget the desserts.
This place is a sure visit for a connoisseur, and my suggestion would be, skip breakfast if you planning to go for lunch; skip lunch, if you planning to for dinner :)

The place generally overflows, even though they have a huge one, so its better to book or be ready to wait.

Rating - 8.5 on 10.

Spoonful of Sugar, Indira Nagar, Bangalore

Amazing collection of cakes and pastries!

This small and simple cafe-cum-pastry shop serves an exquisite collection, though not a big variety.
Every bite of whatever you eat will make you go Mmmmm...
However, be ready to loosen your pocket big time. The place is expensive, however, I'd still recommend it to people who have a big sweet tooth :)

Go drool!

I rate this one at 6 out of 10. The rating is low because of the prices and the difficulty in finding the place...

Location: Be assured you'll miss it first time. Lol! (it has a signboard at the corner of the lane)

Costa Coffee, Indira Nagar, Bangalore

Not just another cafe!

Getting bored of the CCDs and Baristas, get ready for Costa (website still under development as on 11-Jul-2010).

With three outlets already (AFAIK), Costa's finally started to venture in Bangalore.

The coffee was very good. The sandwich was really nice.

This cafe is not air-conditioned, but the fans and ventilation take care of maintaining a cool atmosphere.

No wi-fi, but enough space to plug-in your laptop.

Not very expensive, unless you feel coffee should be served at 5 bucks. :)

Order and pay first to get a token. Food/drinks would be served at your table.

Overall, a 7 out of 10.

Location: Indira Nagar, CMH Road, Near CMHospital, Next to M. K. Retail (View map)
