April is a month of birthdays too - Both the Ariens and the Taurean have their birthdays this month. After April, we essentially have no more celebrations for a really looong time. Thts one beeg reason we take the time out to treat the family junta to an evening of our mad company and dinner.
This time we decided to have dinner at South Indies. We left pretty late and I was worried that we would probably have to wait outside. We parked a lil distance away and walked in. Well, I needn't have worried. The construction going on at CMH road killed their clientele b'cos there were plenty of empty tables. Or maybe we were early. Time can be subjective. The Senior Arien was on the phone all through the dinner - a girder had fallen and he was tense.
Anyway, we chose a table in the corner, waited for the senior Arien to come back in. During the loong wait, we managed to go over the menu twice, mis-pronounce the items and share a hearty laugh. It was then that we realized that the senior Arien may take forever, as is the case nowadays and so went ahead. We opted for Kuzhipaniyaram and Dumpala Karam as the starters. For the main course, we chose the Kal Dosai, Neer Dosai, and Veechhu Parotta accompanied by alembu arepu and paal katti vengayathaal kuzhambu. The Taurean chose a strawberry mocktail, the Arien opted for the fruit punch and I chose the Fresh Lime Water (sweet). On an aside, the maitre d' or the chief waiter, took our orders on a PDA. A lil too impressive :D
The senior Arien returned to the table when we were wondering if we should eat his share too :P Of course, he was pretty cool with all our choices. The portions were jes right for a lite dinner. The mocktails were perrfect! The Fresh lime came in a tall glass and I was unable to finish it :( We did not try the desserts.
The Arien felt the place was way too expensive for standard south indian fare. The Senior Arien was glad that he could partake food like Neer Dosai instead of Vegetable Fried Rice and Rotis. He prefers having a lite dinner. Surprisingly, the Taurean felt that the portions were perfect. I would blame that on his evening snack and so will not take that too seriously.
In my opinion, it was a change from the regular fare of Fried Rice and Rotis. However, I must add that when you look at the price, you invariably compare it with those of Shanthi Sagar and Adigas (other eateries that serve the similar food items) and that automatically kills the experience. So, if you are looking for having south indian vegetarian food sans the crowd and money is of no consequence - try South Indies.
Before I forget, they do deliver food to your place if you stay in Indiranagar. So the next time you are too lazy to step out but would like to try the food at South Indies, you could ask them to deliver it to you. For the menu and other details, see:
