Restaurant Review - Casablanka, Banashankari

I used to come here almost a decade ago with a friend who lived nearby, but the place had slipped out of my memory until somebody mentioned it recently.
We wanted to have a simple continental meal not far from home and happened to visit this place on a sunday night.
It's a very small resto cafe located behing KIMS near banashankari complex. The seating is limited to about 20 tightly packed in.
There is just one waiter and he was quite busy, so service tends to be slightly slow.

After having fresh lime soda which smelt of onions, we ordered our food.
We tried the cheesy garlic bread, chicken burger, chicken sandwich and the cajun chicken sizzler.
The garlic bread was quite nice, had a lot of cheese and right amount of garlic flavouring. It could have been baked a tad more though.
The chicken sandwich was just about ok, nothing special about it, just some pieces of chicken and bread.
The burger was rather poor, and if one tries to make a burger at home, the result could be better.
The chicken sizzler was surely the best of the lot and had good curry as well as soft chicken served along with rice.

We tried their famous fried oreos with ice cream and it was the savior for us. The sweet toothed would like it, though ideally 3 people would be required to finish it or it gets too sweet for one person alone.
The place was a little shabby and needs some renovation. Being a small joint is fine, but the neatness has to be maintained.
The food is alright, not really a feast. But the ones who really had the feast were the dozens of mosquitoes who really ripped off the skin from our legs, and that beyond everything else ruined the experience for us. Go with minimum of expectation if you really must, but frankly in Bangalore you can get much better options than this place for the price you pay.
