Desmond's

So Granpa and two other angels alongwith yours truly decided to have a mini reunion (i've jus come back from home after a nice 10 day holiday!) and catch up with each other at Desmond's (the one in Koramangala).

It's a nice white wall with a big black door that greets you.. the outside look is 'interesting'. Yellow lights, dark wood furniture and a certain myriadness about the place!

(one of the angels!)

The tables have been done up well... only to be reduced in their glory by bottles of sauce which are downright dirty and ugly with their labels peeling off and one of them with a missing cap!

Anyways... the hungarians ordered cheese balls! A li'l dry but good nonetheless! And humongous! Nice with Beer... (the Beer glasses were a nice touch with them being the slim, tall variety!)

(cheeeezy! ;) )

Granpa and the angels set about wondering what to eat! The non vegetarian is spoilt for choices, but the veggies have a limited platter! The continental is what we had... so the Punjabi food (which is served!) calls for another review sometime!

Thus arrived 2 large (oops.. correction! 1 large and 1 pint sized) sizzlers and a quantifiable bowl of spaghetti. The non vegetarian it so happens is spoilt for portion sizes also... The veggies they assume likes to starve! This was duly brought to the notice of the 'manager' who ended up being suspiciously 'a lil bit too receptive' about the whole scenario and offering to add the portions... The offering was declined. (In Granpa's words, "someone needs to just tell them. That's it!" ).

Well... the non veggie had stuffed herself to the brim and the two angels were dying to have dessert! The 'Blueberry Cheese Cake' is definitely a don't miss... 'The New York Cheese Cake' tastes of more butter than cheese and is conveniently avoidable! I've been here before.. the chocolate mousse is sheer and utter sin! :)

All in all... an okeyish experience which could have improved by leaps and bounds with some careful and much needed attention to detail. 'You are not paying a bomb for anything!' ;)

Location: Desmond’s

#48, The Terminus Residency,

5th Block, Koramangala Industrial Estate,

Tel : 41466300/ 01

Verdict: Food is Good. Desserts are a must have. :) Okeyish on the pocket... with Beer, the cheese balls, spaghetti, 2 sizzlers and 2 desserts we spent about 1200 which is pretty decent! But not a place where conversation flows or you forget your cares... Try it for yourself to like it or lump it! :)

Ani, I've been dying to tell you about this place called "Sweet Obsession". Its basically a confectionary shop with a nice, cozy restaurant upstairs where they serve the best possible Thai/ Mexican cuisines..
But its the desert called Death by Chocolate which rocks you..Its served in this casket MADE of chocolate which contains a huge scoop of vanilla ice cream and a melted brownie kinda thing thats totally sinful..so you get to eat the brownie, the ice-cream AND the choco casket too!! :)
