Food Festival - Bangalore - Avarekalu Mela 2014: I wish you all had great holidays and must be in the city catching  up with your regular day to day work. Bangalore is full of surpri...

Zhangs Dynasty - Bannerghatta Road

Chinese food! The majority of my friends, colleagues love Chinese food. I actually didn't grow up in a household that loved Chinese food particularly, and it's not really my go-to food or anything. We are more a Indian Vegetarian food lover. But my Kid and Wife love Chinese and that is why I made this visit. 

Our visit to Zangs Dynasty: Early December in 2014

Restaurant Cuisine: Indian, ChineseThere are a couple of Chinese restaurants on Bannerghatta road. Candidly, we picked up this restaurant by looking at Zomato and assuming this restaurant will not burn a big hole in my pocket.

Our Dinner Menu of the Night

Szecuan Fried Rice

This recipe originates from the Sichuan province of China and is a combination of bold flavors, brought about by pungent ingredients like garlic and chilies.

The long grain rice is used in the recipe preparation, but was served with medium size grains. The rice was well cooked and has a perfect combination of other ingredients like garlic and chiles. It was a medium spice recipe. We loved the recipe. 

 Vegetable Balls with hot garlic sauce

Garlic sauce is our first choice. It was a no experiment night, because of the mixed review of the restaurant. This choice was natural.

The recipe was as expected with strong flavors of hot garlic and they maintained the thickness of the gravy. The gravy was smooth, consistent and thick.

Quantity was sufficient for two and crispiness of vegetable balls were also maintained.

If you like garlic and thick gravy, then you can be 90% safe in choosing this recipe in any restaurant in India. Indians have mastered the art of serving Vegetable Balls with hot garlic sauce.

Shanghai (Mixture of Rice and Soft Noodles)

Szecuan Rice increased our appetite and we wanted to order Noodles as well. We expected the Rice and Noodles to be mixed in true sense, but they were mixed as called out.

The noodles were smooth and bland. Made a good combination with Vegetable Balls.

Other Non-consumable information

Cost: We paid around 450 Rs along with taxes

The good experience:  Taste, Quick service

The bad experience: 

Ambiance: Certain part of the restaurant is dull and dark. The low light in the restaurant is maintained from a design standpoint, it is a psychological ploy for greater intimacy, and to make you feel calmer so you stay longer. 

However, the lights in the restaurant were too dull and dim. We have to strain our eyes to see what was served.

Washroom: The washroom was clean, but looks like they need to use modern fixtures.

Table cloth: We could feel the table cloth was not clean. 

My Recommendation:  No - If you want luxury and courtesy in service. 

I will suggest you to visit this restaurant, in case you want to have just food and keep your spending low.
