The Afghani Food Festival | The Vivanta by Taj - Whitefield | Bangalore

Veg Kofta Preparation

Pretty recently we had a taste of true Middle Eastern food about which we had posted too. The Middle East encompasses a huge land mass consisting of many countries and cultures. This time we bring to you our experience of the Afghan Food Festival at The Vivanta by Taj—Whitefield, Bangalore.

The last time we mentioned that the taste was surreal and mostly the kebabs and preparations had Turkish and Moroccan spices. This time, not only were the dishes different but also all of them had an Afghan touch to it. One can understand this, mainly due to the richness of the preparations.

This is an ongoing festival at the legendary restaurant Terracotta which runs till the end of this month. (Unfortunately, we are a bit late to announce it this time!) The ambiance is very rustic and there is a lot of ambient light in the restaurant.






So, whatever you read and see—if you like it: hurry!

Just joking, you still have some time as some of the dishes in the menu are going to be incorporated in the original menu based on customer response. Now how cool is that?



Now, coming down to this feast of flavours:

The Beer Cafe | Launch of Beerosphere | VR Mall | Bangalore

Hoegaarden with Chicken Poutine


A nice and warm setting along with a selection of specialty brews and draught beers is what a beer lover’s choice would be to have a good time with friends. The Beer café launched its third outlet in Bangalore at VR Bengaluru and it would cater to everyone who loves beer!

The setting is perfect and if you think that beer café is only serving beers then think again. Because they have quite a lot of delectable food items on the menu such as their classics and the newly introduced dishes like Flaky chicken strips, chicken poutine, etc. And not just that! The new menu would also suggest which beer would be the best to accompany your food!

We were recently there for the launch of their Beerosphere products and we tried out a few of the dishes they serve.






There was a special set menu which consisted of a few delightful non veg and veg preparations and obviously beer! 

Navroze Bhonu @SodaBottleOpenerWala | Bangalore


Different communities have different styles of cooking, secret recipes and also a separate significance behind what they eat, how they eat and why. As mentioned before, our country is home to a variety of people and this time we will be talking about a certain community only: The Parsi community.

Just like any other community, Parsi’s have their specialty when it comes to food and we got a taste of authentic Parsi food very recently at one of the most popular cafe’s in Bangalore: SodaBottleOpenerWala (Now that’s what you call a long name!) and they are located in Lavelle Road, Bangalore.

This is the time the Parsi’s celebrate their new year called Navroz Bhonu to honour India as their new home.  

On this auspicious occasion we visited SodaBottleOpenerWala to try out their special menu.  Their special menu consisted of two thali’s: Veg and Non Veg including two desserts.

For pretty obvious reasons we tried the non veg thali and the desserts of course. Parsi’s cannot imagine a meal without non veg and the same goes for us so as always great people think alike ;)





Now coming down to the items which were present in the thali:

Leela Residencies FAM Trip | Bhartiya City | Bangalore


We, The Foodie Land blog have come a long way in our food journey thanks to you guys! This journey is never ending as there is no end to our love for food and we expect the same kind of support you guys have always given!

Since change is refreshing, we will mix things up a bit with travel posts, lifestyle posts etc. In the same line, we very recently visited an approximately 126 acre city inside of Bangalore city. Bhartiya city has joined hands with The Leela Hotel to create this self sufficient, connected, modern and luxurious city which has everything almost everyone needs!

We were amazed to know the amount of planning it took for building this city. The city encompasses a hospital, a school, business parks, residential towers, luxury apartments, a central park, a multiplex and much more! They also have an open air theatre concept which has a metallic, butterfly shaped covering which can illuminate the entire city in the presence of moonlight. This will definitely be something to experience!
