This is a nice place for people looking out for something different. The menu is varied and the side orders are quite good and the price is resonable.

This little cafe tucked away off Hosur road near Bangalore Military School (on the side road near Prestige Elgin) is one of the few treasure troves of Bangalore. It so happened that the traffic around Langford Town/Shantinagar was pretty heavy, and I remembered that Cafe Y is supposed to be around here someplace, and so I decided to park and look for the place and hop in for an early dinner. Although this place is on a street that's pretty heavy when it comes to traffic during peak hours, it's interiors and decor and more importantly the colours used inside certainly transport you to Enid Blyton's Toyland...it's almost akin to a toy house, like Noddy's, with bright colours like yellow and orange.
The menu primarily comprises of European, especially Italian, with a good variety of choices for both vegetarians and the meat eaters. There are soups and salads, sizzlers and pastas, and a section for kiddies. They also have a separate menu card for Chinese, which I didn't try. I started off with a minestrone soup, which was good. But the stand out feature here was the accompaniment of two pieces of bread in a basket and some small cubes of butter in a small tray covered with a lid! This was a first for me anywhere, so I was pleasantly surprised, and tucked away into the soup, and polished it off with the bread and butter.
For my main course, I didn't want to try anything meaty, and so settled for something that I thought wouldn't be too large - a veg lasagna, Boy, was I wrong! Once the lasagna arrived and I started digging into it, not only did it taste heavenly, I also realised that there was quite a bit to finish! I had a good book with me and so leisurely ate, while the staff were content watching Tom & Jerry as there weren't any other customers at quarter past 7. By the time I finished my lasagna, I didn't think I had any space left for dessert, but I had seen a blueberry cheesecake on the menu, and so just had to have one - so a blueberry cheesecake it was. The portion served was large, and I don't think I've ever had a cheesecake that's tasted this good in a long time. At 100 bucks for a cheesecake, this one is well worth the money, although I'm certain I've had similar cheesecakes at cake shops for slightly less. Nevertheless, this place is really nice and perfect if you don't want to end up shelling out more than 500 bucks for a complete meal similar to what I ate (a touch below 400). The ambiance inside is nice, and although they do have a couple of tables outside, I'm not too sure if people would fancy those at night with vehicles zipping outside the compound (but I could be wrong).

A lovely place, tucked in a corner. Totally non pretentious & has very friendly staff. They always have a smile on their face & are ever willing to help you through anything. Coming to the main point ... the food here is simply Excellent!! fully worthy of each penny you pay. One soup, 2 main dishes would be around 900. Each dish would be at an average of 250-300. The serving is just right for people with a wholesome appetite. (including the dishes on the kids menu). You can eat anything from sizzlers (Mexican, French, Chinese & Indian), pasta, lasagna, burgers, sandwiches, soups, milkshakes etc etc. This place is diagonally opposite to the Elgin off the Hosur road, beside the iSqueez store.

It is a small restaurant tucked away in Langford Road. You have the option of outdoor or indoor seating. The waiters are attentive and enthusiastic. The menu is really good! You have the option of tasting food from different regions of the world. A kid meal menu is also offered. The non- vegetarian dishes offer plenty of variety. Try the salads, they are nicely made.
