Monsoon - Every Season!
A good friends’ very good friend who is one of the most preferred customers at The Park gave away the discount coupons to us. So, we had an opportunity to heartily munch @ 50% discount!!!
My friend and I went there on a Tuesday noon for the lunch. After the thorough security check, we went into a beautiful, spacious reception to the left of which there is Monsoon, an International Cuisine Restaurant. With lots of natural light penetrating the dining hall, the cream and brown color contrast of the patio and settee set the right atmosphere! We had an option to choose between the Buffet Lunch and the A-la-Carte. They have an exhaustive A-La-Carte menu where our very own Ragi Mudde was listed too. Likewise, there were many such local dishes belonging to the respective smaller towns.
We chose the Buffet – We had an option in this as well.
1. Salads and Desserts
2. 1 + Main Course
We chose the second one which was with the main course.
The lady served us the Palak and Dal Shorba. I want to drink only this someday. It kinda had a soothing effect on me. I loved it so much and my friend, who generally avoids palak, was drooling for more! That was a good start. A real good start :)
Salads – there were too many and I don’t remember the exact titles given to each of those. There was something with Okra, Zucchinis (I loved them) and many more. There was Dahi Papdi Chat which was the usual. There were pizzas which were of the size of a cookie. This size helped us in tasting everything and not overloading ourselves! The different flavored breads were too good resist. The chef there was making live salads and I asked him to make something using all the vegetables possible and the final product was something that left me wanting for more.
For the main course, there was tomato based pasta (I controlled myself from eating more of this as I had to taste the others too), they also served cooked vegetables in a delicious sweet and sour sauce. This had many exotic vegetables and made my day! It was a day filled with vegetables and more vegetables.
Palak Paneer and Okra with the Coconut Gravy was a good combination with Paranthas and Rotis. There were 2 kinds of rice but, we denied taking more as we were full till the forehead. And desserts?? Desserts will always have an extra space :) I think I have a different section for the main course and the desserts!
There were 7 different types of desserts and each one was better. Most loved by me was the one with peach and peach sauce with cream! When we started the meal, I’d decided I should not miss eating the chocolate mud pie coz’ that was recommended by many. But, at the end of my meal, the dessert space was full too. There’s always a next time for the chocolate Mud Pie!
Everytime, I tried a new thing there, I used to think, I should eat only that for the main course!! Everything was fantastic and cooked to perfection.
Overall, a very satisfying and healthy meal in the recent times and I thoroughly loved it. With the discount, the bill was around Rs.800+ for the 2 of us

Goood Food
There's a compliment here. the food is quite good, apart from a few glitches that would prevent a 5-star rating.
To start things off, the waiters were not well versed in what the menu read. That was a bad start.
Food wise, the starters were average. The gado gado was very different from what we have tasted (made by an Indonesian). Very watery peanut sauce as compared to the chunky version I believe is the original. There was no garlic or chilli that we could make out. The chicken platter however was a hit -combination of yakitori and fried chicken, especially with the honey sauce.
If you are a veggie, try the couscous with peppers and pesto sauce. It was out of this world - especially the couscous. My fish and chips were kin of ordinary, tasting very British. The other notable mentions were the chicken Biryani and the Thai green curry.
The kitchen staff were courteous enough to let the kids see the kitchen and the soux chef offered suggestions and help on cooking questions we had.
All in all, a very pleasant experience, considering the fact that we had 3 kids ranging from 1 to 8yrs who enjoyed themselves.
One suggestion is to go early for dinner. we were there at 7.30 on a Saturday evening and it was empty (naturally!!!)

Sinful Chocolate Mud Pie!
Whenever I visit Bangalore, all roads after dinner or partying lead to The Park Hotel. I HAVE to grab the Chocolate Mud Pie whenever I am there. I am sure my cousin in Bangalore will agree with me who got me hooked on to this sinful piece of heaven!
About the food... I am sure i have eaten here but I can't recall an occasion (you see - 24hr cafes are usually visited post-debauchery :-)
