Bangalore Express (City of London)

• North Indian chicken curry on the bone was a disappointment with too much of tomato killing the spices
• The ambiance is great and also have free wifi
• The place bears a modern look with high ceiling and fancy chandeliers
• The bar is on the ground floor and the main dinning area is in the basement
• The choice was limited to the hot favourites
• Quite popular with a lot of the local Indian professional crowd
• The quality of the service is usually very good
• Not quite sure why the place is named after Bangalore
• As the cuisine is from all over India
• The first time we visited Bangalore was because we were all craving Indian food
• The portion sizes are good though which helps when you&rsquo
• The second time we visited was because there was no other place open at 8 PM on a Saturday night around that area
• This time I was more impressed
• Perhaps it was a better order
• Not dripping in oil as I had expected it to be and stuffed with flavourful crab
• This was the best grub I could have ordered along with my Cider
• While the Paneer was tough to bite into
• The Chicken and the Daal were cooked well and even smelt authentic (that&rsquo
• S how my brain knew I was eating the right stuff)
• T so to speak pairs well with the robust flavours of Indian cuisine
• Went here on a Friday night and it was busy even at 6pm
• Had a duck Goan curry which was spicy but very tasty
• The rice and naan was delicious too
• Mango lassi was a bit of a let down
• The service was extremely slack
• The South African Bunny Chow is quite good
• The Indo Italian section is just so so
• There are some gems on the menu the bunny chow and the dosas are quite good
• 30pm onwards is quite insufferable
• This is probably because there is only one person working there at that time of the day
• Banglore is the name of a city situated in South India so I was expecting some south Indian cuisines in the menu but all I could see were Punjabi and some fusion cuisines
• The food being served here was decent enough taste wise
• The Indian desserts were upto the mark and must try
• The second best curry I&rsquo
• A very innovative mix of traditional indian classics with other asian and modern european influences
• Typically filled with city suits
• The alley opposite the restaurant is the first Diagon Alley shown in the Harry Potter movies
• The ambience is decent though nothing great
• This dish was decent but is certainly not dal makhni as I expected
• Bangalore Express is headed by Yogesh Datta whose previous stop offs include Tabla in Canary Wharf
• He brings an authentic taste to his dishes which is sure to leave you satisfied
• Spinach roomali roti and rice) is comfort served literally on a platter and I recommend it to anyone
• Bangalore Express is my firm favourite and in my opinion
• One of the good indian restaurant and thankfully was located at a walking distance in waterloo
• The ambience is quite good and the food is better than average
• The poppadums you get with varieties of pickles is the highlight
• The portion size is quite large (and me saying that is something
• Just go for the thali if you are confused about the choices presented covers from salad to desserts
• Course your first stop for a curry is Brick Lane
• You miss a little side street called Corbet Court which is home to Bangalore Express
• Bangalore Express is a contemporary bar and restaurant hidden away from the crowd of folk that drown the opposite Leadenhall Market pubs
• They have just launched a new a la carte menu and were confident enough to shout about it
• Lets back track and start with the ground floor bar
• It is dark and rich in colour with blacks and reds
• You could say that this is best for Winter
• I think it is best for that feeling of escapism from the norm and samey venues nearby
• Minced lamb with a buttered bap and curried duck breast
• It was a filling experience with a rainbow of tastes and textures to tantalise your tastebuds
• It started of badly with the receptionist sitting us at someone else's table and generally appearing very confused
• Bar service great with a good selection of mocktails
• Restaurant service good with the Head Chef coming out and saying hi
• Just four or so years ago Indian food was all the rage in London
• Now however that mix is changing and those North Indian staples are being replaced by traditional and hip Indian restaurants
• How traditional are they really
• Bangalore Express is a traditional Indian restaurant located just off the busy Gracechurch Street in the City of London and is headed up by the oh so talented Yogesh Datta
• It does come with a nice greeting &ndash
• Chef Yogesh Datta with Humayun Hussain
• Myself and some other food bloggers were invited to enjoy an evening meal and drinks at the Bangalore Express
• Our back garden has a little area at the back which is perfect to fire up the grills
• The okra chips were deep fried in besan batter
• Richly spiced and topped off with chaat masala
• On a pleasantly warm spring evening a large group of journalists and freelancers like me were invited to enjoy the launch of new A la carte menu
• Since Bangalore Express is located very close to the Bank station
• Bangalore Express (City of London) is often visited by my husband's office gang
• Though I was told that this is not how their food generally is
• The college student is running the service department
• Makes it big difficult too the restaurant to cop up with the running business
• His second venture is a casual dining restaurant and bar which offers a wide range of cocktails
• People servicing were really nice and the order placed was right on time
• Pastas and Burger hence was really delighted to step in an Indian cuisine and fill in our stomachs
• I tried thali for a single person and it's taste was quite close to the actual Indian food
• Bangalore express by name is pretty misleading and sounds like a fast mediocre food in plastic containers kind of take away joint
• Bangalore express offers a variety of Indian cuisines from street food to traditional Indian curries with taste and flavors suitable for all taste buds
• Starters like samosa and pav bhaji are pretty amazing
• Taste was nice and was not expecting food to be delicious
• Still good indian food in London is hard to find
• The food is delicious and the ambience is super cool
• Masala Chai Tea Served with a coconut cookie on the side the Masala chai tea is for those who have tried &ldquo
• In India as this is a strong flavoured tea with spices and herbs that is ideal for those who have palate for spicy beverages
• Peppercorns this tea is a cleanser for your mind and body
• Pepper Chicken Roast Dosa The plating of the dosa is done well as it comes with 3 different chutneys and sambhar
• That was the only appreciable part of the dish as the taste was unsatisfactory for 13£
• Though the quantity of stuffing made of chicken and potato is heavier than usual it is worthless as it is too dry to be enjoyed with dosa
• The sambhar too would have tasted better if the lentils were mashed rather than blatantly serving as if it was for rice
• I recently visited this shop since this was the only one open at 8
• They have cut down on their options to just 3 things for the breakfast which was a disappointment although the food was good in taste and the waitress was polite
• I love Bangalore Express (City of London) as it is near to my office and at a very strategic location
• The food quality is good but can be better
• It bit expensive if you compare to other restaurants but again missing Indian food this is the place to visit
• It was a delicious and there was plenty of food
