So, I'm sitting in my den, my man cave and listening to The Civil Wars, Dire Straits, Gillian Welch and many others. There is such joy that music holds for me. The money spent on this stereo rig was a right investment and I love every minute I spend listening to it.

Lunch today was at the newly opened Dosas and Curries in the Park Square mall in ITPL. Following is a quick review.

Ambiance / Decor: 2 out of 5

The place looks like any other mall eatery. It is simple and clean. The hand wash area was almost spotless.

Nothing unpleasant about the place. Plus point is that there is no loud music. In fact, there's no music at all.

Service: 4 out of 5

There were two managers at hand who were polite and helpful. The servers were OK. They definitely need to communicate better. One big con was that the waiter was smelling of sweat which is never a good thing.

That aside, the service was as good as it's going to get at a mall restaurant.

Food and Drinks: 4.5 out of 5

This is the best part. The menu here consists mostly of South Indian dishes. I love the fact that the choices are fresh. There are a lot of unique nonveg dishes from all over Kerala, TN, Andhra and Karnataka. There was even a Goan prawn curry.

We sampled some kothu parota, Kerala fish curry and the Goan prawns. The food was flavourful, fresh and served piping hot! The sodas we ordered were ice cold. The portions are good. One feels well fed but not stuffed.

The variety of interesting dishes means that this is a place we will be visiting often.

It's been more than a year since I posted on my blog. However, I now have a smartphone which means I can blog on-the-fly. I plan to blog religiously. I have said this before too!
