DiscoverBangalore is pleased to to bring our next unbiased review on our series of Reviews on Bangalore Restaurants. Our freelance writer U B Githa recently visited the Tijouri , a North Indian Restaurant on Palace Road.


Tijouri
On Palace Road Bangalore

Tijouri is the recently renovated signature Atria restaurant. The overflowing treasure chests at the entrance with life size artifacts and ornate entrance door sets the tempo for an enjoyable evening. The interior is a recreation of a Rajasthani village with a prominent Plaster Of Paris tree. The peasants eat under the shade of trees with a loud banter that was matching at the time of my visit. Brightly colored puppets and stewards in ethnic attire catch the eye.

 

A big key that unlocks the treasure chest or Tijouri (Hindi usage) of food takes one by a pleasant surprise as the menu card is opened. The gourmet extravagance has Hyderabadi Nawabi Khana, (royal food in Hindi) authentic Awadhi (central parts of Uttar Pradesh) cuisine and an array of traditional specialties. This place is reputed for the North Indian fare. The menu that keeps changing every quarter is the brain child of the highly respected Master Chef Pandey.He checks the quality of every item that goes into the cauldrons and lends a helping hand in the execution of many dishes. The passion is reflected in the food not having any artificial colourings or unnecessary additives and like home food there is the personal touch and an unmatched satisfaction of being well cared for.

The Sabji (Vegetables) chatpate, Tawa Paneer, and aloo Paneer Mirch Masala for starters was good. The four types of tangy chutneys-Papaya pickle, Pudina (mint) chutney, Peanut chutney and the cheese sauce chutney (creamy) were good either by themselves or with rotis. Yellow dal thadka did not give the jaundice, Fried Jaipuri bhendi i.e. slivers of okra delicately dusted in besan (gram flour) and masala was heavenly.Roomali roti and the Cocktail Indian bread basket were a treat. Makki palaki Bhaji (Greens with corn in gravy) was an unusually good compliment to the rotis. Price ranges from 100-140/=.The Samunderi Ratan (Oceanic gems) portions range from 150-450/=.In the Hyderabadi Cuisine, the Dum ka Murg (chicken @140/=) is boneless chicken in cashew gravy with spices done on charcoal is a good try. Kaliya--baby lamb meat in raw mango paste and brown sauce accompanied by raw mango chutney (available 365 days) and other Rajasthani non vegetarian portions are priced at Rs 140/=.

The calorie conscious can forget their guilt feelings and tuck happily as the rich desserts are a bonanza for the sweet toothed. Anjeer (fig) Muzaffar, Kulfi (rich Indian ice cream) and Badami Pasanda were a sinful delight. If you would like to rate this restaurant with your experience, please RATE HERE.

Giri Mudubidri however had a different experience at the restaurant. Rating the restaurant as "POOR" on all counts goes on to say "Please avoid this restaurant especially if you are vegetarian. I got a mocktail called blue sea which essentially was vanilla ice cream mixed with blue color. The biryani was rubbish and you had to ask the waiter for water everytime. All in all this is an avoidable restaurant. This update is on 14th Feb 2008. I went with lots of hopes and came back very disappointed."
