My vote is for Meenam at Harrisons on Valluvar Kottam High Road. Eden isn't bad either.
http://www.hindu.com/mp/2005/02/21/stories/2005022100180400.htm I realize this is kind of off-topic but I had occasion to visit a very interesting vegetarian restaurant in Bangalore called South Indies. Their lunch thali is an excellent option but sadly, the a la carte dinner isn't. AFAIK it was started by the executive chef from Jamavar at the Leela Palace in Bangalore. http://www.hindu.com/mp/2007/04/02/stories/2007040201520400.htm The other executive chef from Jamavar has his own place called Umerkot in Koramangalore which is most certainly worth the drive but it isn't vegetarian. http://www.hindu.com/thehindu/mp/2006/06/03/stories/2006060301360400.htm On 4/11/07, Deepa Mohan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
