The Jewel Box by the Koshy's

Bangalore now Bengaluru, the city which was once upon a time a sleepy little village, in the state of Karnataka, has grown out itself over a decade now. People situated in Electronic City, Yelahanka, Hossur road, White Field, hardly come to the Central Business District (CBD) of the city---MG road or Commercial Street. Extended suburbs of the city have malls and gated communities, which is a factor in dissuading them from coming to CBD, add traffic chaos and work in progress on roads.

However, over the years what has stayed in the city for which its locals vouch for is the Jewel Box by the Koshy's situated on the South End of M G Road. The quaint place is divided into an AC/ Non AC section. A place most visited by city based journalist's, advocate's and other professionals who can take an hour out of their busy schedule to enjoy the savories offered by the Koshy's. 

I visited the fifth metro of India, in September, my first visit, my host a couple having stayed there for over eight years was kind enough to take me around the city. I insisted that we go out for lunch to a local eatery and be introduced to the culinary excellence of Karnataka. So we three were standing outside the door of Koshy's after a small struggle to find a parking place in the busy streets. Right, we enter the A/c section, of the Jewel Box mostly for family crowd and for those who want to have a meal. On the left is the non a/c section with steel chairs and wooden tables where the professionals with an hour to spare go, either to sip on chai or eat kheema pav or a pint of beer. 
The right side is more of a proper restaurant with cushion sofa, wooden tables with glass tops a bar and side bar chairs for all kind of patrons. We were greeted by an old attendant who seemed to be associated with Koshy's for a long time. The first question he asked me seeing my condition which was a bit here and there due to the long car journey was "Will you have a beer or something cold to drink" That made me so relaxed and homely, after placing the order for drinks we moved to starters. Fish and chips and chicken dish was superb. Then the main course included daal fry jeera rice for me. The fillings are large and food is of high quality. I know i haven't shared anything on the food but this time i am saying....GO AND CHECK IT OUT FOR YOURSELF AND WRITE BACK TO ME WITH YOUR EXPERIENCE. highly recommended place for any meals of the day at a reasonable cost.
