Faaso's

The first reason why anybody would go to Faaso’s would be because it is very accessible, especially from the nearby colleges and PG accommodations. But the problem is that a lot of reasons are fighting over the top rank of “why one should NOT go there”. This particular outlet is located in Model Colony, near SICSR. I went over there after watching “The Dark Knight Rises” and needless to say I was in high spirits, and it was more than dampened with what Faaso’s had to offer. The outlet is a small one , which by the way is not a problem. The smaller outlets are the cosier ones too. There is no seating arrangement unless you count the platform made around the tree which I am pretty sure is NOT countable.

Okay, so I go there and look at the menu and the absolutely misleading photographs, my mouth starts to water and my expectations begins to rise. I scan the menu and find something that interests me. A Paneer Tikka roll would definitely settle the rumble of my stomach, I think and at 70 bucks a piece, it damn well should. I place the order and I wait. And wait. And wait. And wait. And after 15 excruciatingly long minutes my order is served. For God’s sakes don’t have close ups of tasty looking food stuff everywhere if you are gonna take that long to serve. People get hungry. People get angry.

I go and take my roll off the counter. The first thing that catches your attention is the amount of oil dripping from the roll. There was enough for the devil to deep fry 20 souls. I am not the health conscious type, so a little oil doesn’t make much difference to me. But this, my friend could have been called anything but little amount of oil. Moving on, I bite on to the roll, expecting a taste and filling worth 70 bucks. It doesn’t match up to the expectations. The paneer is all right and the filling is good but the quantity and the cover of the roll is not worth the money. Also it is a little soggy. A good roll that could have been better with better covers. Verdict being “Eatable but avoidable”.

Bottom-line: Eatable but Avoidable
Alternatives: Rolls Mania(I heard it got revamped)
