I guess this will be like a hat-trick! I have found the third and probably the best joint on St. Marks Road, in terms of the food, closely followed by Lakeview Milk Bar and Koshy's.
What struck me first as I stepped into their cramped place, which is the Air Conditioned zone, is that there are just 3 concrete tables with concrete benches. Very uncomfortable, if you ask me! They have placed a TV on the wall near their counter and they play music from the radio. They have a small built-in refrigerator and a shelf with pastries in wicker baskets. There are more tables outside which is what most people prefer. However, if you have come to gobble I suggest sit inside. The food will be closer to your mouth! :-)
I loved the fact that their menu holds every kinda fast food that goes with the Indian palette. Sandwiches, burgers, omlettes, salads, coffee, tea, chocolate, the list goes almost endlessly. Each item moderately priced between Rs. 50 - 120, an approximate. They actually have an equal variety in their bevarages list too. Most restaurants concentrate only the food and compromise on the variety with regard to drinks.
The food arrived deliciously soon. We didn't have to wait too long considering the long order we placed. And once they arrived, we couldn't stop ordering till we licked the plates clean. I had ordered Irish coffee with a sandwich with ham and egg. Both were brought fresh ad piping hot! A wonderful continental lunch.
They undertake catering, home deliveries and you can drive in and order and feast in your car! Fine idea, with the lack of space. But this is only if you find parking place. The place gets unbelievably crowded. And mind you when you order; extra tisuues cost you a grand! :-)
