I haven't "been" to Potluck yet, but order in a lot when at work. Colleagues seem to love the food, but I find it bland. Price is ok, delivery time is excellent. Hope a place like this which serves (west) coastal non veg food comes up around BG road soon..

Hi ga_burrp,
First of all sincere apologies from us on not having met your expectations as a business. We take all customer feedback seriously and work on improving things based on them.
On the pricing front, our prices have increased by 15-20% on an average but per head bill still comes to 60-70 Rs for most of the people who come over. The pricing increase has been to make up for the increases in prices of key input costs like gas and milk. In my opinion 60-70 Rs for a neat meal is still a decent price and affordable for most of the people in Bangalore.
On the quality and quantity front we have not changed anything from your last visit. What happened in you case is certainly an aberration and it would be great if you give us another chance to correct this.
Please feel free to write me on "eat at potluck dot in" and it would be our pleasure to pick you up from your office or home and treat you to some delicacies.

Its my sixth year in Bangalore and being a foody person, I have tried almost all restaurants in BTM, Koramangala, Marathalli and Whitefield area. And I must say that for last six months, I have stopped trying out new places because I have found a really gem....no prize for guessing it right!!!! Yes, its Potluck.
The best part of the food for me has always been the rotis. And Potluck is unmatchable in this area. They serve soft and hot rotis made of Atta and not maida. All curries served at Potluck taste just like home made sabjis. They have cool variety of sabjis....starting from Aloo Tamatar , Gobhi, Bhindi etc....to Bharva Karela. Trust me...I have never eaten such a delicious Karela sabji in my life....In sweets they serve home made mouth watering hot Gulab Jamuns.
And Potluck is really cool when it comes to pocket. I can have Shorba, Starter, Main course food and sweets....all in less than 100 bucks.

Read my other review just below this review. I was gushing back then about how I found a diamond in the rough. So I just wanted to give an update on this place after my recent visit there. Apparently, their business must have picked up (were the reviews here responsible?!). They have almost doubled their prices ... which in itself I would not have grudged, but when coupled with lower quality and smaller portions of food, I have to give them a thumbs down. Still Rs 150 for a full meal for average clean food isn't too bad ... so I give them an average 3/5.

I read the other reviews of this place and decided to try it out. They were spot on. And I give it two thumbs up. This should definitely be on your To-Do list.
Location:
If you happen to go to bannergatta Rd. (going towards bannergatta, you will see on your left side in a muddy moon-cratered lane some cream colored buildings cleared marked "Ranka colony" and this restaurant is right opposite in a home).
Ambiance/Service:
Atmosphere was very clean (not high class or chic but clean). Also, this place is away from the maddening noise of bannergatta Rd. Service was quite decent. They bought a finger bowl both before and after the meal and gave me a newspaper to read during the wait for the order to arrive. Nice eh!
Food:
The food was the best part. True HOME MADE TASTE, I tell ya. All veg only. I think they had only one paneer dish. The rest was all what you would really expect to be cooked in a N.Indian home. No greasy food like many of the punjabi restaurants.
Cost:
Hee hee .. I honestly felt like it was I who ripped them off by paying only a 100 bucks for some delicious Dal-palak, Cucumber Raita, Baingan Bharta and 8 phulkas (really soft and nice wiith ghee). All vegetables cost only between 18-to-22. This quantity was sufficient for two normal people (and I am two people - maybe I should change my avatar from Yoda to Jabba-the-hutt).
This place deserves to be in business. Great value. Patronize it if you can.
