A Disappointing Experience
On a quiet Monday afternoon, we decided to grab lunch here, and this was our experience:
Food
The food was honestly below par, to say the least. What I expected and what I got were two very different things.
Karam Kodi with Nacho Bhel - ₹490 (2/10) Let’s start with the 2nd worst item on the menu. For ₹490, this dish is an absolute waste of money. It’s basically chicken bajji with sauced-up puffed rice. The taste? Bland, For that price I expected much more than expensive bhelpuri.
Chicken Bolognese Fries - ₹400 (1.5/10) To put it bluntly, these were some of the worst fries I’ve ever had. Stale, frozen fries that had been deep-fried to be served again. One word: "Pathetic."
Mountain Chilli Chicken - ₹420 (5/10) The presentation was decent, and I’ll give them points for creativity. But taste-wise, it was just your regular chilli chicken with the cost multiplied twofold.
Mount Berry - ₹375 (7/10) This drink was decent—a cranberry-flavored slushy. Nothing fancy, but it did the job.
Bartender’s Special - ₹375 (7/10) This drink was refreshing, a mix of fruit juices with mint. Definitely a nice pick.
Dolly’s Avayaka Pizza (Puff Crust) - ₹420 (7.5/10) This was the best dish we had. A unique combination of avakai pickle sauce, chicken, and puff crust made this item really tasty.
Service (8/10)
We visited on a Monday afternoon, so the place was pretty much empty. We had one staff member attending to us, who did a great job was very attentive, asked for feedback, and even recommended a few items. The food arrived on time and in order, which was a plus.
Ambience (7/10)
The ambience was well done; I’ll give them that. The place looked good, and the atmosphere was pleasant. They also offer live music, but check ahead to confirm.
Summary
This place is great to hang out with friends, thanks to its well-curated ambience. But would I recommend it? Honestly, NO. It failed in two major areas: providing something unique and maintaining good food quality. I don’t see myself coming back here anytime soon.
Overall Rating
Food: 5.5/10

Read moreVisited CU2 in Kokapet for a Saturday lunch with another couple, looking for a relaxed dining experience with good conversation in a quiet setting. Since we all had varied tastes, a multi-cuisine menu was ideal. None of us opted for beverages, so we can’t comment on the brewery aspect.
Bottom line, with reservations via Swiggy Dineout, we enjoyed a 25 percent discount, making our bill approximately 650 rupees per person. Given the generous portion sizes, we only had to order a few dishes, making this a solid value-for-money choice. While the food was good, it wasn’t extraordinary, but you won’t regret dining here.
Finding CU2 is easy, thanks to its prime location in the One Golden Mile building, which also provides ample parking, especially on weekends.
The ambiance is welcoming, though the wood-heavy decor leans heavily into a wild west bar vibe. While a bit overdone, it still feels unique and is unlikely to disappoint.
Seating options are varied, and if you visit for Saturday lunch, you’ll likely find the place relatively empty, giving you the freedom to choose.
Service was just okay. Our waiter seemed disinterested, offering no recommendations, even when my vegan wife needed guidance on suitable dishes. No background music, which could have elevated the atmosphere.
We ordered a couple of starters and soft drinks, including ravioli, mutton kheema biryani, and a mushroom cheese-based starter. Everything tasted good, though the prices might surprise you. That said, thanks to the discount and hearty portion sizes, we felt our money was well spent, particularly on the biryani. My vegan wife wasn't as enthused with her noodles though.
Service was on the slower side, though we barely noticed, given our engaging conversation.
Worth trying at least once, while it won’t blow your mind, it’s still a solid, no-regret option. Plus, with Vacs and Buffalo Wild Wings nearby, the variety of choices makes this area a good...
