It'll come to me... Lunch at ??? Lots of dishes, more than you can eat for about $8. Clean. Food: 8/10, Service 7/10, Atmos: 7/10 Overall 8/10. Ask for the bill when your food arrives, you should get it by the time you need to leave - as in most places in Bangalore. 10,000 staff, but it is all someone else's job...

The Bar, Oberoy Bangalore: Don't underestimate the bar food. The wraps are good. Chicken Squewer's aren't. Service 7/10, Food: 7/10, Good for a hotel bar. Not bad atmos. Dont watch the world cup there as the staff like to stand between the tv and the patrons - bad look, and you go to jail if you throw drinks at them...

Mushroom Tartlet- Manta. Not bad at all. Affordable only if someone else is paying. Great location 8/10, Atmos: 7/10, Food: 7/10, Service: 8.5/10. Overall: 8.5/10. You could not go there 5 times and save enough money to fly to Hoi An and go to the Mango Rooms...
