Hotel Food Lands — Restaurant in Karnataka

Hotel Food Lands is a restaurant located on MG Road. It has been in business for at least two decades.  During my college years, I remember the ambiance was not too family friendly, so I never got a chance to visit with my girl classmates.  However, over the past four years, I have been visiting Foodlands at least once or twice a month with family or friends - especially those visiting from out of town.

On the ground floor, the ambiance is bright and the seating arrangement is spacious.  Hotel Food Lands also has a Family Room in case you want to enjoy a nice wholesome meal with your loved ones, talk loudly, eat, drink and be merry without disturbing others.

In the month of April, some of my college friends thought of meeting up as it had been a long time.  We wanted to eat lunch at a place where many of us have not visited before and at the same time, choose a place where we could sit leisurely and enjoy our meal. We shared a list of places and finally chose Hotel Food Lands.

There were 7 of us that afternoon - Three Vegetarians and Four Non Vegetarians.  So we ordered a wide array of dishes to suit all of our taste buds!

Beverages:

To refresh us and tone down the spice quotient, we ordered the following two beverages.  They were served in a tall glass and we felt so energized after taking the first sip:

Mint Lime Soda Fresh Lime

Paneer Ghee Roast - While in the Coastal City, eating Ghee Roast is Mandatory! Whether it is Paneer or Chicken, this is a appetizer you must order.  Looking at the rich color of the masala will make your mouth water.  The dish is semi spicy so ensure you tone down the heat with some water or a tall refreshing glass of Fresh Lime Soda.

Egg Manchurian - The eggetarians devoured on the second appetizer. It was loaded with slit green chillies, onions capsicum and peppercorns.  The egg was soft and well cooked.

Baby Corn Manchurian - The contents of this dish were the same as the previous one. The only difference is this was with Baby Corn.  It was lip smacking delicious.

Masala Papad - This popular appetizer is the hit of any party.  Crunchy, because of the papad and onions and sweet, thanks to the tomatoes and coriander leaves.  One bite is not enough and you will feel like eating more and more.

Anjal Masala Fry - One of the reasons people love visiting Foodlands is because of their Seafood.  The number of items are so long, that you will be wondering which dish and fish to order.  Hands down, everyone decided to order the Anjal Masala Fry.  The fish was soft and masala was generously coated and fried to perfection.  One portion of this fish can be shared between two people.

Paneer Butter Masala - Whenever I have to order a Paneer Dish, I normally order  Paneer Butter Masala.  The Paneer Pieces were cut into bite size cubes, and were soft and juicy in every bite.  The gravy was thick and loaded with flavor. You can pair this dish with a bread or rice item.

Mushroom Kadai - We thought of ordering another main course in case the Paneer Butter Masala was not sufficient.  However the portions are quite hearty and just enough for three to four people.  The mushrooms in the dish were roasted and had a robust flavour.  The gravy was not too thick or thin.  Bursting with lots of flavour, this dish teamed up well with the Butter Kulcha.

Butter Kulcha - The Kulcha was soft, warm and buttery.  It went well with the Main Course and also with the leftover Masala of the Paneer Ghee Roast!

Our reunion went off well. We enjoyed catching up over two hours and relished the dishes we had ordered.  The service was quick, waiters were friendly and also suggested dishes for us to order.

The restaurant was crowded from the moment we entered and all the tables were full when we left.  There is seating on the first and second floor in case you want to sit in a darker environment.   I would recommend Foodlands for lunch or dinner, with a small or huge group.

Ensure you make reservations, or you might have to wait to be seated - regardless of whether it's a...

I recently had the pleasure of visiting a fantastic bar and restaurant, and I can confidently say it was an exceptional experience. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with a warm and inviting atmosphere that set the tone for the evening.

The skilled bartenders were not only knowledgeable but also friendly, always ready to recommend the perfect drink to suit my taste.

Whether it was a mouthwatering steak or a vegetarian option, every bite was a burst of deliciousness. The portion sizes were generous, ensuring that I left feeling satisfied and content.

The service throughout the evening was top-notch. The staff was attentive and accommodating, ensuring that every need was met promptly and with a smile. Their genuine passion for providing a memorable dining experience was evident, making me feel like a valued guest from start to finish.

The ambiance of the place was another highlight. The well-designed interior combined modern aesthetics with comfortable seating arrangements, creating a stylish yet cozy environment.

In summary, this bar and restaurant truly exceeded my expectations. With its inviting atmosphere, impeccable service, delectable cuisine, and an impressive drink selection, it is undoubtedly a place worth visiting. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a memorable dining experience or a great spot to unwind...

My experience at this restaurant on a Sunday was highly disappointing. Despite the restaurant being full, we were escorted through the kitchen, which was extremely unsanitary, and then taken via staff-only stairs to the second floor. Due to government restrictions during the election period, the bar was closed, but we were still led through it to a remote dining area .The cleanliness was appalling. The plates were stained, and the cutlery had remnants of previous meals stuck to them. We ordered both starters and the main course, but they were served simultaneously after a prolonged wait. The server nearly dropped our food and handled it in an unhygienic manner.The food itself was mediocre, and the poor hygiene and ambiance detracted significantly from the experience. Additionally, a simple order of lime juice took over 20 minutes to arrive after we had finished eating. I strongly discourage anyone from dining at this establishment due to its unacceptable standards of cleanliness...
