Bowled out by inSwing



"Doctor I can only see Ducks"
Doctor - "Have you seen an Optometrist?"
"No, only Ducks".

These and other cricket themed rib ticklers and trivia adorn the table mats on this quaint eatery. Blink and you miss, situated in a nook on the first floor above Overhaul accessories in Banashankari BDA complex in Bangalore, this place has been a favorite for many people for different reasons. Firstly the theme - cricket. Cricket greats are remembered in many Black and white photos, their anecdotes and feats captured in frames which cover the walls. They enthrall me everytime that I come here. You have to spend a minute checking out the painting of Ganapati in 8 forms with Bats and cricket pads, the ambiance will catch you with a surprise! The food - is homely North Indian; affordable and very tasty. You can find some new thing to like when you come here. Today I discovered the Onion rings, superb stuff. The Chaas here never bores me. Highly recommend the Palak based dishes as the palak gravy is too good. Dont expect a mughlai feast, this is homely food so its made the usual down to earth, moderate style - which I love.

Cost comes down to the strictly moderate slab - 3 Thaalis with starters and drinks comes to about 300 bucks, super score. Watch out for the sly waiter, he will count your orders twice on purpose (experienced this on two outings), but you wont regret the extra helping. I am sure you would want to play more Innings with inSwing..
