Mishmash

Where?

"mishmash", 2321, 17th Cross, 27th main, Sector 1, HSR Layout.

What?

mishmash, as the name suggests, is true to its tag line - "a bit of everything", with a menu ranging from Indian to Continental and Mexican.

The Grub:

Murgh Jhangri

Murgh Tikka Lal Mirch

Clam Sukka

Chicken Biryani

Insalata Mista

Lasagne Verdure

Lasagne Della Casta

Well, most of the stuff was above average. My friends were more than happy with the Murgh starters but not so much with the Clam Sukka, which had more sukka than the clam meat. Chicken Biryani was a disappointment - although the rice itself was flavorful and smelled refreshing, the amounts of spice didn't quite reach the expectations (which, by the way, can be subjective) but the chicken pieces didn't really taste fresh.

The Insalata Mista was a fine salad with generous amounts of lettuce and cheese and with a few olives and baby tomatoes thrown in too. Same can be said of the two Lasagnas which tasted more than good with copious amounts of cheese.

The service has nothing to write any extremities about. The waiters were prompt and clean, albeit with restrained and clamped faces. The place itself was very neat (obviously, since it was opened only a week ago) with good ambience and a fine location. A late evening on the terrace would do wonders!

The meal for three came to 1410 including taxes.

They also serve chats, breakfast and burgers.

What?

Every techie in Bangalore is a self-proclaimed foodie. Every single one of us has access to the best restaurants out here - chinese, thai, mexican, italian, american, north-indian, south-indian, north-karnataka, bengali, punjabi, andhra, kerala, chettinad, multi-cuisine, and more.

Acknowledging this supply and the demand among us, even our employers have come up with perks like "team-outings" and "team-lunches" owing to which we can boast of having visited such eateries which otherwise may be out of reach for our wallets.

But irrespective of the finesse of the eatery, quite often we face situations where the food is stale, causing gastralgia. There are also umpteen times where in spite of being the payers, we are subject to the whims of the waiters at the place, bittering the whole experience. This is not where I would want to champion the Law of the Garbage Truck. This is where I just want to share my honest and vivid feedback about my food outings - not only about the food and ambience of the place but also on how the patrons are treated, hoping that it might help many others like me in zeroing-in on the best resto for an occasion.
