Restaurant Restaurants are classified or distinguished in many different ways. The primary factors are usually the food itself (e.g. vegetarian, seafood, steak); the cuisine(e.g. Italian, Chinese, Japanese, Indian, French, Mexican, Thai) or the style of offering (e.g. tapas bar, a sushi train, a tastet restaurant, a buffet restaurant or a yum cha restaurant). Beyond this, restaurants may differentiate themselves on factors including speed (see fast food), formality, location, cost, service, or novelty themes (such as automated restaurants).
Restaurants range from inexpensive and informal lunching or dining places catering to people working nearby, with modest food served in simple settings at low prices, to expensive establishments serving refined food and fine wines in a formal setting. In the former case, customers usually wear casual clothing. In the latter case, depending on culture and local traditions, customers might wear semi-casual, semi-formal or formal wear. Typically, at mid- to high-priced restaurants, customers sit at tables, their orders are taken by a waiter, who brings the food when it is ready. After eating, the customers then pay the bill. In some restaurants, such as workplace cafeterias, there are no waiters; the customers use trays, on which they place cold items that they select from a refrigerated container and hot items which they request from cooks, and then they pay a cashier before they sit down. Another restaurant approach which uses few waiters is the buffet restaurant. Customers serve food onto their own plates and then pay at the end of the meal. Buffet restaurants typically still have waiters to serve drinks and alcoholic beverages. Fast food restaurants are also considered a restaurant.
The travelling public has long been catered for with ship's messes and railway restaurant cars which are, in effect, travelling restaurants. Many railways, the world over, also cater for the needs of travellers by providing railway refreshment rooms, a form of restaurant, at railway stations. In the 2000s, a number of travelling restaurants, specifically designed for tourists, have been created. These can be found on trams,...
Read moreThis is the Story of a hidden gem called Sudama Bar and Restaurant. Started in the early 90s this Restaurant was the heartthrob of many locals and their favourite watering hole since they had an active bar. They are more popular for their Maharashtrian cuisine but their Mangalorean and konkan cuisine is equally delectable. They have a jolly good and very jovial General Manager- Ashwin Rai who hails from Manglore.
Nowadays, the place has a thriving business, you get all sorts of drinks, tower beers, draught and also a variety of cocktails and mocktails.
They have added an exclusive family dining air conditioned area fully dedicated for hosting get together of family and friends.
Coming to the food part- I love their seafood- for instance try the crunchy bombil rawa fry which I find much more tastier than Mahesh Lunch Home or their prawns koliwadas!
I also recommend Baby Surmai baked in Tandoor- looks so heavenly and tastes awesome and those of you who love Mangalorean food try their prawns ghee roast and the Surmai gassi- you can thank me later! These two dishes alone can give Mahesh lunch home a run for their money.
Staff is lovely, fast and manners are pleasing.
You can also try their Maharashtrian dishes like black masala mutton which is very delicious and also a variety of kebabs.
Don't miss it...
Read moreSudama is an all guys place giving you the feel and experience of a bar (the vibes are like you see in movies, each and every table is into his own without caring of what others are doing, the overall feel is lively in a bevda way) The service is top notch, it's always the case in such places, waiters are polite and help you by pouring the pegs I would rate the service 5. The waiters know every detail in the menu and can pour the drink in the number of pegs you want and that too very precisely. The chakana that is served is also of good quality along with the green Pudina chutney a tradition followed at all bars in Pune. Having a chakali dipped in the chutney is always heavenly. Food quality is ok. I would suggest you stay away from their chicken (varhadi style or Kala masala) it's over rated. The chicken is cooked to a large extent making it chewy. So please stay away from it of you are an avid foody like me. So food I rate 3 from my side. The cost too is more as compared to the quality and quantity another aspect that needs...
