Mr. Curry

Where: Koramangala, in the lane opp. HDFC Bank
Price: ~ 200 for two


This is a deviation from all others listed here. This is not one of those Mom-and-Pop serving delicious food. It's modelled around the production-line, same-taste-served-everywhere (at least across the country) idea made popular by such purveyors of high cuisine like Pizza Hut & MacDonald's. Right that's where sarcasm and the similarity ends. While the place is efficient, clean and quick, the taste is quite surprisingly good.

Since the accent is on being quick, the quickest menu items are the Chicken, Veg & Mutton lunches. Ranges from 95 to 125 and comes with one roti (quite big), a biryani, a piece of kabab, raita and two curries. Hence the name I guess. You can order a-la carte as well. The menu has about 15-20 items at the most, veg and non-veg included. The taste like mentioned before is quite good, the kababs and the mutton and chicken pieces are quite tender unlike most such places. Plus you'll love the absence of the bright red/green colouring agents that most places love to use on the kababs. The only issue some might have is that the biryani/lunch combo portions might seem a little on the smaller side - especially if you're one of those whose family/friends/assorted relatives/caterers at weddings expect to take care of all left-overs. In that case off the menu might make more sense. The crew is quite efficient and friendly and the place takes plastic as well. All in all, it's quite the value-for-money deal.
