If you are a chocoholic, Corner House is the ultimate pilgrimage.
I'll leave you with this quote from the Orkut community dedicated to this legendary chocolate Ice Cream. This could easily be the only Ice Cream in the world with a cult following.
"It all starts with craving, greed, anticipation, turns into pleasure,indulgence,contentment, then the chocolate seems to turn against you and shows a rather less expected aspect of the experience called DBC.. fragmentation of your mind over every spoon transfering coordinates here on.. you struggle to introduce yourself with any further traces of chocolate in any of its physical forms... chocolate!! how can it be? oh god! everything looks and smells of chocolate.. lost in a black forest chococakes moving around.. you sweat, you choke, you even repent at times.. to eventually realize that the ordeal is over. you feel lazy, week, lost and content.. finding it hard to accept yet very well aware that you'll come back for more.. soon very soon."

Barbeque Nation is spread across two floors (ground floor and the covered terrace above the first floor). If you are going on weekends, it is recommended that you book your table on the terrace.
The concept: Your dinner starts with a selection of 10 starters (5 veg and 5 non-veg) which include chicken, mutton, fish, prawns, paneer and veg. The starters are unlimited and they really mean it!!! You can also order your favorite cocktails, liquors, beer or non-alcoholic drinks.
The starter section is followed by a decent buffet dinner (choice of veg/non-veg soups, range of salads, main-course consisting of 3-4 non-veg and veg dishes, mutton biriyani, a pasta dish and nice selection of deserts including pastries, icecream, soufflé and gulab jamun)
Price: The dinner is priced at Rs.400 per person and the cocktails range from 150 to 250. Beer is Rs 100 for a pint. Overall, great value for money!!!
Ambience: Nicely done interiors and terrace. Also, there was live music by a group of foreigners. (Don’t know if this is a regular feature)
Barbeque Nation is located near the Airport Road flyover (immediate left after the flyover when coming from Koramangala to Indiranagar)

No. 30, 80 Ft Road, 4th Block, Koramanagala, Bangalore
Rated: Average
Food: The starters were impressive. nice soft chicken kababs.
The main course did not rise to expectations. The biryani was "below-average" and so was the signature chicken dish.
They have a good wine catalogue and do not serve beer / hard liquors.
Service and Ambience: Good.

Corner House is a chain of Ice-cream outlets located in many parts of Bangalore and its best-selling icecream is its "DBC" (thats "Death by Chocolate" to the un-initiated).
DBC has achieved cult-status and majority of Corner House's loyal customers don't even care to read the rest of their menu. DBC also has an Orkut community dedicated to itself.
