It has two floors and store uses vibrant green colors. Definitely, Biergarten Brewery & Kitchen has set the ambiance for party animals and humans. You will love the mood set by the music.

Lakeview Milkbar, MG Road

Historical and Landmark store Lakeview Milkbar is  located right at MG Road after Cafe Coffee day (when travelling from Brigade road junction to Kumble circle). This store has a history and is located at this same place from decades.

The store is usually open until 1 AM and generally every one enjoy's their ice-cream, sandwiches, shakes while sitting in their car.  But this time we did just opposite.


Address:  89, Kannan Building, MG Road, Bengaluru, Karnataka 560001



Location and Parking  

Well lighted place on M G Road and parking has to be identified, hunted on road close the outlet (if you want to be served your dishes while you are in your car).

Ambiance and Store look   

It has two floors and store uses vibrant colors. 

Staff   

Staff is old (by age and by service). Staff expect a good tip from you. Smile and curtsy is missing from staff behavior. Staff is really busy in serving ice creams, cakes and snacks. 

Food   

We had 
a. Lychee ice cream sundae, 
b. Sizzling Browne, 
c. Hot coffee. 

All of the dishes were "OK". Browne in sizzling brownie was not fresh. Nuts used on the brownie were of poor quality. But surprisingly we loved Lychee ice cream sundae.



What pinched us?
a. Toilet, this store do not have a toilet. Any expected mothers, elders and adults with filled bladder are not advised to visit this place. We have to walk to Cafe Cofee Day and use their rest room.


Recommendation: Yes, visit them once, however i feel they are over rated. I will suggest you to take a stroll and buy a scoop of ice-cream instead of sandwich or sundae. Although friends and family will like the venue.

(Jan 21st, 2018I again visited this place few weeks back. No change in the restaurant Service.

Vasudev Adigas, Bannerghatta Road,

Vasudev Adigas is one a very popular south Indian food chain in Bangalore. You can go in and have a satisfying meals.
Let's find out about this outlet in Bannerghatta road.

This outlet is opposite to IIM bangalore and close to popular hospitals like Apollo and Fortris


Address:  No. 195/175C-50, 17, 23, Bannerghatta Road, Vijaya Bank Colony, Shanbhag Nagappa Layout, Bengaluru, Karnataka 560076

Our visit to this place was on Monday for lunch. I will expect this to be less crowded but this place was full of people. Not a place to stand. Hmm.

Location and Parking
Location of this place is amazing, however no parking. The road is narrow and most of the time you have to park at a considerable distance.

Ambiance and Store look
This is an old restaurant with seating space as well. So ambiance is not clean.

Staff
I can assume that their restaurant will not look jazy but there is an impact on staff as well. Arrogant staff and very lethargic service. At the end of the service they expect TIP, TIP, TIP

Food
We took meals and food was below average.

What pinched us?
a. Restaurant was not clean and hygienic 
b. Staff morale is low


Recommendation:  Do not visit this place

Asharfilal Kulfi

Asharfilal Kulfi - near DLF new town is a tuck shop for ice cream and kulfi. This place is well lighted and clean next to Krishna Kuteera. 



Seating and Parking
It doesn't have a place to sit and park your vehicle. For vehicle parking you can park on road as long as there is some space.

These guys have kept few stools to sit down and enjoy kulfi.



Our Kulfi
We had Pista and Regular Malai Kulfi. Kulfi was good but did not find it to be fresh.
Our kulfi was brittle and hard not as smooth as it should be. 

Recommendation: Enjoy the kulfi, it is a good place to grab sweet post lunch and dinner.

Recommendation:

Go and Enjoy your Ice cream and Kulfi!
