Wife cooking according to the husband’s taste

The Vil'age, on 100-ft Road is a roof top restaurant that has a perfect village setup and has the looks of a Punjabi dhaba. The ambience is romantic and relaxed and there is plenty of space for one to lounge around and unwind.
The huge shady trees on the roadside creep on to the terrace, giving the restaurant a lush green environment.
The Vil'age is a North Indian restaurant and caters to the authentic Delhi and Punjabi palate. The food is rich and there’s plenty to choose from, for veggies and non-veggies.
There are a variety of starters for lunch and dinner. Before lunch, one can have chaas or lassi and before dinner, the preference is for Tamatar pudina shorba (tomato soup with mint) and for non vegetarians, Dum murgh ka shorba (chicken soup).
There are nine sections with interesting names like the Khazana and Mansahari khoobhiyan. The latter comprises 25 non-veg delicacies. Shakahari vyanjan has 16 vegetarian dishes, Haandi wali dal includes three variety of dals and Chawal, khas aapke liye has seven variety of rice dishes. Rotiyon ki peshkash, which again has seven type of rotis and Saath mein are eight salads. Shahi meetha for dessert die-hards has rasmalai, gulab jamun and lassi.
We started with Dum murgh ka shorba, which was a good appetiser. In the main course the choice was Lacha paratha with Dal bukhara khas (a vibrant combination of black dal, kidney beans and butter with garlic), Murg malai kebab (chicken breast pieces marinated with cream, cashewnuts and cheese). For the rice dish, Murg biryani (chicken biryani) was delicious. with mila jula raita.
Though the Delhi and Punjabi food is rich in spices and ghee, food here is scaled down for the health cautious people. The food is customised. It’s like the wife cooking according to the husband’s taste.”
The buffet in weekdays lunch time is priced at Rs 125, and very popular amoung corporates. So if you are going there in the lunch time dont forget to book the table else you have to wait a long time.

All Beach No Tan

Being a 'sun, sand and beer' person, the one thing I have always longed for in Bangalore is the Goan way of life. Thank God for The Beach.
The minute you walk in, you find yourself on an artificial beach, with a lighthouse, water bodies, the feel of an ocean and other things familiar to Goa. The shack-like bar and seating options also add to the feel of, well, a beach.
The menu is essentially multi-cuisine, with an emphasis on Goan and Mediterranean food. The bar menu is vast, with varieties of cocktails and standard drinks that are all reasonably priced. The cocktails rarely go beyond Rs 200, which is a good find in Bangalore. The Long Island Iced Tea and the Mojito are great and real value for money.
And as for the servings, they are generous. Which is what you will find the minute you pick one of the many awesome starters on offer. I always pick the Indian and Goan ones. My favourite starters are the Chicken Masala Fry and the American Cheese Balls.
For the main course, despite the many options -- Continental, Indian or Chinese -- that all pass muster, I recommend the Goan Chicken Cafreal and the Xacuti. I have tried these dishes at almost every restaurant and shack at Goa, and The Beach matches up to the best of them. The Chicken Maskabus, a lamb-stuffed chicken sizzler is also a winner.
The prices, again, are down to earth. Starters come at a tag of Rs 110 for vegetarian fare and Rs 150 for non-vegetarian dishes. Main courses are uniformly priced across the various cuisines. All chicken dishes come at Rs 160 per dish, mutton dishes at Rs 170 and seafood at Rs 180.
