My food craving and my lethargy to ride somewhere else makes me stick to my native area Namma Jayanagara and recently I saw this place which was all brightly lit with a very special looking ambience here in 4th T block named Go Native and went here for dinner !

Located on one of the widest roads in Jayanagar ,is this lovely little restaurant ,it's very easy to locate as it is situated on the road parallel to the Jayanagar bus stand and it's also easily locatable from the road ,speaking about the ambience ,the place is a cafe along with a store which has clothes , accessories and edibles which are all made by local farmers and tribals ! These goods are all eco-friendly ! The ambience has this rustic look to it ,where an old house has been revamped into a cafe ,I really liked the balcony section where one can sit and relish the food by taking in the breeze which blows over ! Wooden tables and comfortable chairs ,the lights and fans here are very well done and the architect and the interior decorator has used their intellectual property to the fullest ! The only thing to crib here are the lights ,which are hung too low ,anybody who is as tall as I'm or even shorter when they get up and walk will band their heads to this cane woven lights ! All I can say is that the ambience is short of captivating one's mind to another world !

Started our meal here with their soups ,the carrot coconut ginger soup was really good ,I felt the portion also apt as its viscosity is on the higher side ,served with a slice of garlic bread and flax seeds on top ,tasted well ,but the pumpkin soup on the other hand was not on par with the carrot and coconut combination!

Aloo patta bhindi chat is a mixture of ladies finger, spinach and aloo dipped and air fried in very light batter ,this starter was really light and filling ,tasted good too ,then tried the fig and green salad ,which had a combination of figs ,sweet like and vegetables and spices ,tatsed yum ,I recommend everyone to try this sale here .

Hara Bara Sabudana Vada was looking a really dark but it tasted real good ,I liked the size and also the chutney with which it was served ,another recommendable dish ,the Mangalore buns was served with a sweet coconut based chutney ,good stuff ,the cheesy Maddur Vada is nothing but a Maddur Vada with cheese infused in it ,kinda good and satisfied my cheese craving here ! The Jalapeno sweet potato roll was the only thing I disliked here ,it was filled with too much of flavour which is overwhelming to the pallet !

The main course is really interesting ,started with a millet palak kichidi ,tasted YUM ,I could finish the entire bowl which was served with a Sabudana happla and raita ,good stuff ,tried the Ragi Pizza too , interestingly the pizza was nothing different than a regular thin crust pizza ,I really did not know that the ragi base tatsed that great!

Khus Lemon Sorbet and Mango Mint Smoothie are the recommendable drinks here ,the former one is a refreshing water based lemon and pudina juice with jaggery the latter being a mango and a mint smoothie which was added with very little sugar to amplify the natural flavours !

The desserts here what we tried are flavoured baked yogurt ,blueberry and gulkan flavours ,really yum ,the portions were also bearable ,not to big or not to small ,good stuff !
