Umerkot
I have checked out this restaurant couple of days back - Umerkot
The first thing to notice when you walk in is a home-converted-into-restaurant ambiance. A traditional, elite looking place with light music in the background and with lots of corporate people from the nearby MNCs.
The prices on the menu are a bit on the higher side, though when at the first look you would notice that you don't see any sight of prices printed on the menu ... they have it written in words: good strategy in avoiding the pricey bold numbers!
They apparently have a lunch buffet on weekdays priced at Rs. 185/-, though it looks like they conveniently erased that from their memory and no one cared to even talk about it when I walked in.
The only thing which put me off is that the waiter keeps reminding you what drinks, desserts etc mean! When I said NO to drinks, he again asked me if I was sure. I again said a NO with a smile! But, he again asked saying, "Not even lime soda, lassi, jaljeera Sir?" ... the act being repeated for the desserts ... "We even have Mango with icecream Sir". At that point I was almost about to say "Get the f***ing cheque, will you. I know what a dessert means!"... with a smile, ofcourse!
Ratings
Ambiance: Good
Food: Above average
Price: Higher
Hospitality: Above average
It probably is a good place for a corporate team party or if you are having a fix up with your future fiance and would like to have a 'traditional' first impression ... and if you are in a hurry, then you may choose some other place - The dishes come in their own sweet time and so does the cheque.
Location:
No. 30, 80 Ft Road, 4th Block
Koramangala, Bangalore - 560034
Phone: +91-80-25500426
Surprisingly, the restaurant has its footprint on the web: http://www.umerkot.in
