Restaurant Review - Infinitea, Indiranagar

Infinitea is certainly one of the finest places for tea. Their selection ranges across many countries and includes oolongs, herbal, black, green, floral and some very nice blends too. 

We've visited the cunningham road outlet many a times and always loved what we had there, and on discovering that they've opened a branch at Indiranagar, we had to go check it out.

The decore is fancier here, ofcourse it's a new and better planned place. Right at the entrance is a big display of tea which they have. Neatly arranged in glass jars, it looked so good and tempting. They sell tea leaves as well but we resisted the temptation to buy a few packs.

We looked up only to find the most interestingly designed printed display covering the lighting. It just made us go wow. Innovative and pleasing to the eye. 

We proceeded to our table, they have both sofas and chairs inside. There is also a small outdoor seating. We went on to order our starters and tea. Though most of us had iced tea on this hot evening. The great part being they have nearly a dozen flavours of ice tea, which is not the case at most places that serve a simple lemon ice tea. We tried the green apple, orange and lemon ice tea and all were fantastic. Their masala chai is also near perfect and a very nice mix, not too mild. 

The other teas are served as pots which can make about 3 cups. 

The starters comprised of chicken on skewers which were a bit harder than we would have liked. The bruschetta though was fantastic. The tomatoes had a very fresh taste and the cheese was really wonderful too. The papaya and mango salad was below average and we had just a little of it.

We tried several of their main dishes, including our all time favourite RSG with corn rice, which they never go wrong with. The rice and chicken taste fantastic as a combo and the sauce is a nice addition to the dish. We have this everytime we are at Infinitea.
We also tried the cubbon fish with lemon rice, which was rather disappointing as i think the fish had been re fried ans soaked up the oil making it soggy, such a shame. The dish was reduced to 'chitraana' without it.














The chicken steak with creamy penne pasta was better, the chunk of chicken was juicy and nicely cooked, lending a good flavour to the dish, served with a piece of nice garlic bread.


The veg spaghetti on the other hand was very mediocre, plain and extremely simple, no effort or planning was put into making the dish different and it was just run off the mill.

So far the meal was 50-50 and we looked at the desserts to provide us some respite. We ordered for our usual favourites, the ganache tart which is thick dark chocolate layer over crumbled biscuits and creme brulee.

We've been having these desserts at the cunningham road outlet for years and the taste is so memorable. However, i have to say at this outlet, the desserts were also un-inspiring.

It's really a case of both outlets not being at the same level.
While the indiranagar branch is more classier, the food and service levels at Cunningham road are far better. I would recommend readers to visit the older branch given a choice, for those staying at Indiranagar and not wanting to travel more, this is still a better than average restaurant.
Best for tea lovers.
