Landmark: Adidas showroom, near Domlur flyover

Cusine: Awadhi / North Indian
Cost: 900 Rs for 2
Buffet: 225 Rs + taxes

India Gate, a relatively unknown restaurant in the Indiranagar neighborhood, has good ambience matched with sumptuous menu. On the 3rd floor of the building hosting adidas showroom and a Chinese restaurant, Great Wall, one could easily miss this place. Serves north Indian vegetarian and non-vegetarian food, a nice bar along side serves liquor.

Food matches the good ambience, but limited mocktails didn't impress me. Since i went for a lunch, had to abstain from variety of cocktails. Worth a visit, though pricing is on a slightly higher side. Buffet lunch on weekdays is priced at 225 Rs (plus taxes).

My recommendation: There were few people on a Sunday afternoon i went, unlike in other restaurants. Try out this place for nice ambience and good north Indian food on a lazy weekend.

Located on the bustling street on 100ft road Indiranagar, The Village supposedly has the ambience of a village albeit with comfortable chairs and dining area. The restaurant being on the 3rd floor gives a good view with cool breeze. Decent north Indian food for the lunch, with couple of non vegetarian delicacies.

My Recommendation:
When you are bored of your daily lunch at around work you can drop in at The Village.

Down the old madras road after Big Bazaar you'll find this huge tech park with offices of ADI, Google, Ernst & Young et al. Indijoe's located at this campus, RMZ Infinity, along with various other outlets with food courts, and CCD. A new outlet of the well known Indijoe on Airport road. Serving continental food, this restaurant is the best value-for-money for lunch buffet.
They have pizzas, breads, noodles, fusillis, salads, and various sauces for buffet. They serve a couple of non-vegetarian delicacies. They also have biryani and curd rice in the buffet!

My Recommendation: A decent retro ambience with the option of dining either inside or outside in a clean place makes this a restaurant worth a visit for lunch when you don't have much work at office. :)

Queens

Owned by: A punjabi couple
Location: Church Street, Opposite to Three Quarters Chinese
Cuisine: North Indian
Speciality: One of the best Punjabi khana available here
Cost: >250 for 2

Queens is a very plain looking place on church street, which boasts of some of the best known restaurants of Bangalore. But, you go there on a weekday or a weekend, you are bound to stand there in waiting. This is a tesimony enough of the popularity of the restaurant amidst North-Indian-food-loving population.

At all times, you will find owners sitting right there. Uncle taking care of the accounts, while aunty coming back and forth from the kitchen. This ensures that quality is never compromised on. You can always count on great punjabi food...

My Recommendation: If ur office happens to be near MG Road and you are bored of office food daily, Queens is the perfect place to try out some great punjabi food, like Makke di roti and Sarson da saag... Ummm... Slurrp! :)
