We started with few appetizers/starters...crispy masala sardine fry, herb butter grilled sole fish, and fish salad. Herb butter grill and deep fried sardines were bit bland we loved the crunch and it was perfect for the weather to enjoy this kinda food.

From the salad counter we selected the fish and created our own salad...the sauce served for fish salad was really good the selection included mustard sauce, mint and creamy tomato base sauce all we had to do was create our salad and add the sauce as per our preference. 

After a wonderful salad I chose a noodle and seafood soup this was a clear soup the broth was so soothing and tasty it had tiny pieces of prawns and other butter toasted fish in it the serving size was huge it was a meal on its own. 

For mains we choose butter grilled fish with mash and veggies, fish biryani, fried rice, chilly fish gravy, andhra prawn curry, goan fish curry and rice. I truly enjoyed the goan fish curry with rice and fish biryani it was so tasty I just could not stop with one helping. Fried rice and fish chilly gravy was again a best combo.

Finally we tasted some yummy desserts....a traditional besan ka halwa and icecream...overall worth every penny we thoroughly enjoyed.

The Super New Menu @Cafe Coffee Day-New Bel Road Bengaluru

"A Lot Can Happen Over Coffee". Popular Cafe Coffee Day Bengalureans favorite hangout destination on a budget be it business over coffee, hang out with friends or a romantic hangout space it has to be at CCD. Extending their Super new menu CCD has a lot to offer from humble soul satisfying soups to quick bites, burgers, sandwiches, rich and creamy dessert cakes.

We had few errands to run near new bel road on our way was cafe coffee day...me and dad wanted to stop over for quick bites and coffee. I ordered the tomato soup garlic bread and nachos...My dad opted for veg cutlet and cappuccino. I liked the soup...nachos had too much of hot sauce and very tart cream sauce on top this was some how not tasting right..veg cutlet had a crispy skin very bland patty. Over all the new menu has something for everyone. The only two dishes apart from coffee we enjoyed were the garlic bread and soup.

Service was good, Centrally located. Ample parking.
