Opposite Hyundai Showroom, Residency Road, Bangalore

Excellent

Great food, music, beer...what else do you want?

This place is already a classic...the second outlet after Pecos, Mojo serves the same fantastic food as Pecos. It's fairly large, allowing a decent choice of seating and with well-placed TV screens you don't have to miss a thing if there's a match on.

The food is top class. Try the pork dishes - bacon tawa fry, the sausages, the pork tacos, anything! All the curry-dosa combos are great too. The menu is pretty extensive and the chaps are happy to customize a dish of your choice.

The music is very good though a tad loud at times. They play all kinds of rock here, but lean to a touch more popular taste than Pecos, but defintely not as poppish as Stones, which is the 3rd outlet in the "chain".

And very good value for money, the dishes are really reasonably priced.

Overall, a very good choice for an evening out, a long lunch or a quick pint or seven with your mates.

Awful

The meaning of "rare"

I visited this place on the recommendation of a friend. I went with my wife and two children.

The experience was wonderful as far as the ambience was concerned. The waiters were polite and seemed to be knowledgeable. However, that's where the resemblance to a good restaurant ended.

The salad we ordered seemed to have a tad too many leaves and less vegetables - it was not balanced right.

I ordered some cuts of beef and asked for them rare. What I got was unevenly cooked and VERY chewy. Some bits were medium to well done, some were rare. But more than 70% of the beef was inedible - in the sense that however much I chewed, it did not disintegrate! When I pointed this out to the waiter / owner, they had the effrontery to tell me that "rare beef is like this only" and "I personally select all the cuts of meat" !!

That's ridiculous. I always eat my steaks rare and at the most there are one or two small bits that aren't chewable. But good beef, dear Via Milano, CAN be eaten rare with a minimum of effort in both cutting and chewing. If it's good beef. This obviously wasn't - and what made it more galling was that the staff had the cheek to defend it, argue and still leave it on the bill. Terrible customer service, if you ask me.

I'm certainly not going there ever again.
