Some places are an emotion for the city, over a period of time, their signature dishes resonate with the entire city and become sy onymous with the brand. Corner house became one of them, over a period of four decades... But that position does not allow the brand to take their customer lightly, ignore feedback, turn rude..arrogant and aggressive at any point of time. The vanilla at corner house has always been the second best the city could offer for me after lakeview.... And yesterday was a shocker... The vanilla wasn't even 1/10th in taste, flavor or texture at all. And this resonated across.a group of eight people who went there with us. The vanilla scoop was as different as chalk and cheese in real terms. Then came the fruits in fruit jackpot.. 90 percent of the fruits were canned. Stewed in sugar and added to the ice cream... This turned into a double let down, when we order a fruit based ice cream and in a legendary place such as corner house the least one would proceed xpect is fresh fruits... Not to miss the jelly, which was an add on which came like a close up toothpaste kind of consistency, tasted like mixed fruit jam and when raised with the management, the sad response was... We use " vegetarian" jelly... This is how it will be... Take it or leave it. And before one could respond, they were quick enough to throw it in the dustbin😀 Corner house has never been known for service or humility... But when a brand hits such levels of arrogance, it signals the beginning of a fearsome decline... Such that the brand isn't even ready to correct it food. The food which made them what they are today. Ironically, got to taste the worst vanilla ice cream in Bengaluru yesterday at their Airlines branch and just hoping they pull up...
Read moreMy friends faced the most horrible experience at this Corner House branch. They faced severe RACISM from the shop cashier and local goons whose actions were fully SUPPORTED by the cashier.
They bought our ice cream, paid for the services. And then were sitting on the swing. They were asked to get up. They did without protest. But they just walked up to the cashier to say that they should not be asked to get up just like that. The next thing we know, people came and started asking where they are from and saying that they are not allowed to be there and they are not Kannadigas and they do not speak Kannada. They were two people surrounded by FIFTY. They were MANHANDLED AND VERBALLY ABUSED. My friends have come home with shirt button RIPPED OFF. And while ALL of this was happening right in the compound of the shop, the staff actually asked them to LEAVE saying, "they are our regular customers, you please leave." The staff SUPPORTED this racism and ABUSE.
Big warning to anyone who is not a Kannadiga. NEVER go here. You will be verbally and physically abused, manhandled, and asked to leave.
We will be filing an official...

These are my personal opinion and not a...
