No. 99, 4th Floor, EGK Prestige (Above Bombay Store), MG Road, Bangalore
Good
Why is it empty?
This place has excellent food, an understated elegance, unobtrusive service, a decent bar and isn't exorbitantly priced. What the heck is Bangalore waiting for?
The food isn't traditional Asian, it's plated which makes for a welcome change to the rice/noodle + gravy melange that one has to order. Most of the pairings are fairly unconventional but work very well.
My personal favourite is the burmese lamb stew.
Desserts, though, could be better. Too vanilla for their menu.

Average
Not Bad.
When all else fails, it's not a bad option. The Fillet O Fish is worth a shot, their fries aren't bad and the shakes could be worse.
Best of all, they'll always have a clean loo. Except the one near the Red Fort in Delhi, it doesn't have a loo.

Outstanding!
I drove to Gandhinagar for dinner, Fishland being our destination. Truth be told, this is a very difficult review to write, I'll run out of adjectives and superlatives way too soon. Instead, I will describe the meal and state that this is quite possibly the best seafood you can get in Bangalore, although you'd have to like the Manglorean style of cooking to fully appreciate this.
The entrance has a chart of everything you could possibly order. Or not. We started with some Rawa Fried Kane. I like that they use a very fine grade of rava, much more flavour and texture, needless to say the fish had pretty much jumped from sea to pan.
Our main course, if you can call it that, was a Prawn Biriyani, served with a wonderful kokum based coconut milk infused curry. I can do no better than to quote a friend who said that the prawns are like finding little jewels amongst perfectly cooked and spiced rice. Or something to that effect.
Since gluttony is something I do well, we also ordered a Masala Fried Prawn, which was perfect in every way...and a Masala Fried Slice Of Seer Fish, which was also fabulous. (See, I told you this was a difficult review.)

The best!
Given that it’s as much an institution as Koshy’s and Imperial, this is a review where I will tread softly.
We started with a glass of limejuice each, lime, sugar, salt and water, seeds and all. Certainly was refreshing, even if it is pretty basic. Please do note the completely retro 70’s glasses. Then had an omelet with buttered toast. Truthfully, the toast is more fried in butter than toasted and buttered. I had their famous scrambled eggs (two portions to a plate.), the secret of which I only recently learned. These are absolutely fabulous, as I have previously stated. We shared a masala dosa, it’s mandatory to have at least one, and it isn’t like any other masala dosa you’ll have anywhere else. It isn’t served with sambar, you are expected to eat it with a fork and knife and has a peculiar appeal. This being ICH, no tea was available and I enjoyed a cup of great coffee.

Good!
t's one of my favourite places to eat. The food is strangely comforting, with curry leaf and coconut. Their prawns, the Masala Fried version, is to die for.(Once ordered a good twenty plates of it.) We loved their Chilly Cheese Toast and the Spicy Chicken Sausages in Hot Garlic Sauce. Their Coorgi Pandhi Curry and Mallu Erachi Olatheuthe are signature dishes. As is their Seafood Soup.
Had the Kingfish steak, Prawn Curry and Appams, the Kerala Chilly Chicken and Dosas and the Fish and Chips. The seafood is really very good. Other must trys are the Egg and Kheema Parota and the Kothu Parota. Did I say I like the food? And the other thing is, the beer is fresh and strong, well as strong as draught beer can be. And a glass is free with every entree.
Music is a little loud at times, the crowd is always fun but the ventilation can get stuffy at times. Oh, and make sure you have the Tosca Cake with Ice Cream for dessert. You'll find it nowhere else and it is worth it. WP treats old customers like old friends and make me go back again and again.
