Hotel Dream Land

This place is located bang opposite Rvce...on mysore road...no doubt that this place is a hot favourite among the Rvce students!!!u would often find long ques outside this place!!!a lifeline for the Rv students...this place offers quality food!!!which is priced keeping students in mind!!!my Favourite is paneer butter masala and veg kolhaouri!!

In the first year of college at R.V.Engineering College, Bangalore we had a major problem.Although the food in our mess was much better than most places,there was no proper restaurant which could be considered hygenic.In 1999 few shops opened up and finally a restaurant called-Hotel Dreamland came up..Its a very normal restaurant without any airconditioners but it is a perfect place for students.Our college is on the Mysore Road in Bangalore and I can easily say that Dreamland was/is the best restaurant in the nearby 10 kilometres.

   I fell in love with the chilly chicken and manchurian they used to serve. Instead of having noodles with it,I started having it with parathas.Try Chilly Chicken Gravy with Parathas and u will now what I mean.The parathas are of different types however the best one is Cylon paratha.It is rather big but for a foodie like me it is best bread.Kerala Parotha is round in shape and not bad either.Another favourite is Egg-parotha but its best when eaten just with some ketchup. Another Parotha is Kothu Parotha where the parotha is reduced to a scramble of egg and Parotha and is spicy.If u want to have rice with chicken gravy then u can chose between masala rice and ghee rice. Ghee rice as the name suggests is oily whereas Masala rice is the rice prepared for Biryani(without pieces).The dishes have generous helping and only if can hog a lot can u finish the full gravy urself as it has around 6-7 pieces of chicken.However the noodles and fried rice are the most consumed dishes of the day.I being anon-veg freak used to eat a lot of Chicken Noodles and Chicken Fried Rice.Years later on another visit, I realized Dreamland it has started a new Mixed Noddles and Mixed Fried Rice. Its an amazing dish for non-vegetarian.It has noodles with chunks and chunks of both chicken and mutton aptly fried and now the quality of noodles and its serving has considerably improved.Since the target customers are students the dishes were reasonably priced between 38-50 for the noodles and fried rice.Again the quantity is sufficient.I cannot count the number of times my friends and I have feasted on a plate of noodles/fried rice and lime juice.

   What made Dreamland click in a big way initially was the range of juices and shakes it serves.U get lime juice,orange,musambi and the tasty water melon juice.Among the shakes my favourite was banana shake and Cheeku-Saphota Shake.They also served custard apple shake and date shakes. Now they have a separate counter for shakes and the juice counter is full throughout the day.In the evenings after playing some sports one can spot lots of hostelites having some juice or Milo shake at dreamland.Since its just opposite the college we used to go there practically everyday.Even when we were out of cash we used to have big treats and then put the money in our ACCOUNTS-which were cleared later.The restaurant is run by Keralites Muslims so the non-veg food served is really good.The service is good and we obviously became friendly with the staff.

 For us ofcourse another favourite dish was Mutton/Chicken Biryani.Priced at a reasonable Rs.38/45,this was my personal dish.In the sense that a time came when I had Biryani for consecutively 4-5 days and the waiter used to just confirm whether I would have Biryani or some other dish.Here I would like to tell that Biryani is ready a bit late say around 12p.m. whereas noodles and other items are ready by 10 a.m.The biryani is in Keralite Mallu style style and served with a boiled egg on top.U get some gravy and this is the most economical heavy meal one can have here.At times if we were very hungry we would order our biryani and then order a side-dish mostly Chicken Kababs(A favourite Bangalorean dish) which would be shared by 2-3 people.Chicken kabab is totally different from the Lucknawi Kababs and are

pieces of fried chicken which are spicy.Butter Chicken and Chicken Mughlai were also decent but could not be finished alone.

           For the vegetarians the Gobi manchurian(the most famous dish of Bangalore) was really good.I preferred the gravy one over the dry.The Paneer Butter Masala also was good. For me and most of my friends Dreamland meant much more than a hotel.It was a place where we used to hang out.We used to rag our juniors,we used to open our hearts to friends and discuss serious issues.We would go in a gang at times and stay there for 2 hours eating and chatting.Or at times my friend and myslef would go and sit for hours and have food and discuss movies,politics and underworld.

          Even 1.5 decade since it opened I saw the restaurant is still doing well when I visited Bangalore. The food quality is same and the prices(obviously not the same) but still comparatively reasonable than other places.

Good one but same grevy for all curries

Good option for a family restaurant near R.V college, just opposite to Pattengere metro station towards Domino's Pizza outlet side/opposite to R.V college. It is a kerla style restaurant, they serve Halal food. Must try Thalessery chicken biryani, french chicken, chicken lollipop, Kerala parota, kuthu parota,etc. They also serve Juice and ice cream. Prices are reasonable and one must try once visiting the restaurant if you are looking for food with family near Kengeri specifically on Mysore road.

The place got renovated recently and is under new ownership so don't go by the older reviews. This isn't exactly a fancy place but the ambience is pretty good. The vegetarian food is great, Especially for the low price at which it is sold. Non vegetarian food is great too, Except it's priced slightly higher than you'd expect. I've never had a single main course or starter that I didn't like and I've tried almost everything. The service is also pretty quick. The only issue I have is that they don't keep all the juices and shakes that are on the menu. Best place for a quick lunch on Mysore road.

Excellent food, never disappointed with the quality of food, biryani is a must try

Best food veg and non veg
