Recently we went to this Roomali restaurant (Indiranagar). We were a bunch of 10 people. Believe me its was pathetic. I am sorry to use this word, but I cannot find any better word than this.
What was good: Ambience, dessert (moong ka halwa), Roomali roti
What was bad: There was no starter, soup was bad, curries "aweful" with double quotes. The food was insipid. Seemed to have cooked food in water.
Eating this food reminded me the time I was admitted to hospital
Given a chance to visit that restaurant once again, I will never ever to to that place

First of all, Giving a rating of 1- Awful also seems to be doing favor to the restaurant.
I went to thier recently opened restaurant at Marathalli.
We had booked our table but when we reached there we were told there is no booking for us.However, a table was arranged in 10 min.After being seated it took half an hours and repeated request to get the water served at the table.We were a group of 16 people so a bit of delay is understandable but what the kind of service we got there is pure carelessness towards customer.We opted for buffet but when we went to the buffet platter to server ourself we were shocked.The quantity present was not sufficient for out group.It didn't help either that the buffet didn't look appealing and tasted even worse.Only one platter of roomali roti's were served for our group of 16 people! Needless to say it was soon over even before everybody could have a single piece of it. We asked for more and it took 20 minutes to arrive.Even then the rotis tasted like it was made from 3-4 days old dough.We were in for more shock. When we went for second serving, half of the items were finished completely.We had to contend ourself with rice.
The waiters and managers were evading us all through out and we had to call them to get water, get it refilled, get fork & spoon( we were not provided one in the beginning) etc.Also, the 'jal jeera' that is provided in the beginning was not served as it was over.
Only saviour of the evening was the sweet dish (rice pudding).
All of us had the leave the place hungry.
We had been to their restaurant in Indiranagar and expected the same level of service & quality of food here but it turned out to be very bad experience.
Dont go to this place if the least that you expect from a restaurant is 'filled stomach' and decent amount of service.

The ambience and the decor is good, thankfully not overdone or overwhelming. The seating is quite comfortable too, although we landed there on a day when the place was 2/3 occupied for a family function. Our makeshift table was not in a comfortable spot, but will ignore that since the usual sitting looks neat.
The food, well I didn't have any non-vegetarian food on the day, so I can not comment about the chicken or fish. The veg portions; starters don't have enough quantity I feel, at least compared to some of the other places. Thankfully they are well-cooked, but the marination was not great. The shorba is, well, like shorba, and I don't really like shorba. Could anyone please suggest a place where they serve normal thick tomato soup, please?
Coming to the main course, the Paneer Jalfrezi is great! Do try it! Vegetable Jaipuri stayed in accordance with what the menu said, and I enjoyed the cashew based gravy. The roomali rotis are cooked in view of everyone by a chef, and I must say the roomali basket with 5 different roomali varieties was delightful!
Service is quick. The complimentary jaljeera drink served at the start is refreshing. Price is moderate to semi-expensive, although if you cut down on starters and stick to a good main course and minimum dessert (not many options) you might really enjoy it!

I have been to their new outlet opened recently on Marthahalli Outerring road opposite Innovative Multiplex.
I have opted for a buffet after seeing favourable review in Bangalore TImes. It was a big mistake and totally disappointing. Neither the view outside is good nor the food. Even the interiors are takky and gaudy.
Food: The Roomali rotis are like eating rubber rotis. None of the food items are good. They lack, taste, character and presentation.
My advice: Instead visit Ivy, The un wind Island which is near by and take their Buffet lunch on weekdays, Sat. The buffet lunch here is out of this world for the price they charge. Truely amazing and more than value for money.

Its true that the ambience is good. That's it. The good things stop there. Along with a group of colleagues, I visited this place. The buffet menu looked impressive. We ordered starter platters a-la-carte. The shock started from there. Stale fish, which was probably cooked few days earlier strated falling into pieces and disintegrate when I tried to pick it up. The chicken tikka also tasted real bad. More shocks from the buffet table, right from stale salads, cold fish and chicken with a real bad odour. Finally the entire group had to grab fresh fruits (thankfully it was fresh) and ice cream to keep away the hunger.
My advice is keep away if possible. Or walk down to Barbeq Nation nearby.
I would rate this a -1. Worse than awful.
