Recently one weekend, we were in the mood to have veg food not far from Jayanagar, and were looking for suitable options.
After reading lots of reviews online, we zeroed down upon 24th main, which i had passed by many times but never got a chance to sample the food here.
They don't take reservations on Sunday, so we had to wait for about 10 mins before being seated.
The place was jam packed and quite noisy too. Must be over a 100 guests dining inside.
The decore is simplistic, one wall is entirely filled with full size frosted glasses and monochrome images of old age europe adorn some of the walls.
The cuisine comprises of a very small south indian menu, mainly comprising of rice items. Chinese would be another option, but playing it safe we opted for the north indian cuisine.
We had a lime soda and buttermilk to start off with, which was totally devoid of any masalas. It was just curd, water and salt.
The veg platter took some time to arrive, and we were served a masala papad to keep us occupied.
The platter had 4 pieces each of gobi, paneer, mushroom and seekh kabab. They tasted fine, paneer was soft, mushroom was well marinated but the veg seekh kabab was slightly sweetish which we didnt like. Not a bad platter though.
For main course we had paneer tikka masala and dal makhani with onion kulchas and roti.
Unfortunately again the dishes tasted sweetish and lacked the right spices. Very very ordinary dal too. The onion kulcha was overly filled with onions, and not enjoyable. All i can say is the food really was a let down.
The service is fine considering the rush they had to deal with.
It wasn't too expensive, so we didn't feel too bad about the meal, but we are not likely to be back here again.
Maybe the diners who eat only at pure veg restaurants might find it to be a decent option, otherwise there are many good north indian restaurants in Bangalore.
Rating - 3/5
