Chef Bakers - Marathalli Review

I keep ordering birthday cakes for my team. I give orders of about Rs.1000 every month apart from buying cakes and breads for my family. The taste is good. But everybody knows it takes a big leap from Good to Great. But am pretty confident that these guys will only go from Good to Poor because of the way they treat customers.
I usually get the cake delivered to my office which is close to their shop in Marathahalli. But when I went today to the shop to order a pastry, they said delivery charges Rs.20 extra. I was surprised to know that. I asked from when. "Its been this way from the shops inception" came the reply.

I said "Come on man, I got the cake delivered to my office and am I lying you".
"Then what we are lying you-aaa?" phat came the reply. That really made me pale.

Then there was a new flavor called Succes (these guys did not know the spelling of Success, hmmm!!!) and Lavata. The cost per kg is Rs.600 and this pastry is on minimum order of 1 kg. Could not get the samples too.

The shop is pretty small, the price of the products are equal to Daily Bread. I really like the taste, but will avoid going to this place because of its poor customer service and indecent uneducated uncultured people as their staffs. When there is some other shop of even lesser quality but better customer experience, I will prefer the latter.
The way these guys treat customers is very poor.

Chilli Pepper, Maratha Halli, Bangalore - Review

We went to this hotel after reading the reviews in justdial.com. Most of the rating was 4 and 5 stars. Little surprise. I am not a Bihari so could not comment on the native Bihari dishes and the taste. Might be it was worth for 4 and 5 stars.

But mostly my menu was Chinese. My personal feeling is its more towards good ie., 3 star rating.

We ordered:

• 2 Sweet corn chicken soup Rs.65 per serving
• 1 Veg fried rice - ~Rs. 120 per serving
• 1 egg fried rice - ~Rs. 120 per serving
• 1 Boneless dolebach chicken (I may be wrong with the name, but it starts with 'D' and its a Bihari dish) Rs. 205 per serving

The portion was really enough for 3 adults.

Veg fried rice was more blunt, egg fried rice better, the gravy good enough, soup was really good.

The total bill was ~Rs. 650.

The ambiance is pretty bad, looks very dull, AC did not work and made us little suffocate. Personally feel its little over priced.

I could give,

3 stars for the food
2 stars for ambience
2 starts for service

Buying 3BHK flat in Bangalore

PAINFUL!

These are just reflections of my feelings when I went out to buy a flat in Bangalore.  Not to hurt anybody's feelings.

I wonder how the flats are getting sold faster than Hot Bajjis.
AS far as my observation, the flat costs between Rs.2500 to Rs.5000 per sq.ft in Marathalli, Whitefield and Ring Road area. (Not any city side).

For a family of 4 members, and we need a study room, we have to opt for a 3BHK, of which the third bedroom is not even bigger than a store house. That's even not good to call a Study room, so conjested even for a primary school student.

The total area claimed is including the common area, the part that is irritating is there are several tricks in alloting and claiming the area, since the same common area is claimed for more than one person. There is no proper control or measure to check this.

You end up paying for 75% of your house and 25% of the common area. (a decent ratio). But in some flats the ratio goes worst.

The sq.ft cost is exclusive of the below:
1. Car parking - Rs. 150000 /- (approximately) for the second car its even higher sometimes double the price. (I dont worry for now but atleast I hope to have a car sometime in future and have to get one car park atleast)
2. BESCOM charges
3. Registration charges
4. Water board charges
5. Sewage charges

The above roughly comes up to Rs. 3 lakhs onwards for a 1200 sq.ft.

Above all you need to pay a maintainence cost of Rs.2 per sq.ft. ie., Rs. 2400 for 1200 sq.ft every month. That accounts to 28800 per year.

How painful!!!

But above all here is the worst part. When you go to buy the flat you like these guys say its almost sold. (The ones which have a good vastu, more brighter living room etc.) Wonder at these cost how people are buying it!!

Few of the supervisors say the truth.

"To be honest most of the bookings are happening online, some for which people dont even visit. People in Bangalore just keep visiting the site thinking of whether to buy or not, but mostly do not buy. Our customers are mostly overseas, US, UK, Arab countries"

What a pain!! The Indians who go abroad take up the job of the native guys and also increase the land value here so "common man" who works for his motherland can not even afford a 2 or 3 Bedroom apartment.

Politicians are least bothered about common man because the Reddy's who dominate the realestate in Bangalore as well as other cities in India keep them (politicians) 'happy'. Its more or less like land mafia, buy or go.

Some people like in TamilNadu vote hearing that they get TV. But ultimately its the middle class who suffers.
US and other countries shou

Most of the land is bought by the realtors by throwing money or by power. We all know this. But we can not do anything. The blood boils on undergoing these experiences of  a common man. Yet I can not do anything just as most of you guys.

I am even irritated by the acts of our own brothers and sisters who work in foreign land, but do not invest where they work but invest in India making the realtors rich and the common man poorer.

Frankly, these people are neither good for the country they work (since they have taken their jobs) nor good for fellow Indians (since they have raised the price of land and made the realtors more bossy).

One final say, US, UK and other countries please send the Indians back, they are neither good for you nor for us.
