Bangalore is beautiful today. It's sunny and warm in a comfortable, cozy sort of way. I'm lazing on my reclining chair and M is lying beside me. We've got some slow jazz playing in the background. A bit of talking, some reading, a little bit of writing. Everything is just perfect.
Earlier today we were out for a Sunday brunch at this bright little place called Daddy's Deli - suggested by Soumya who blogs at LOL. She said I would thank her after. She sure was right. Thanks a ton Soumya, the place and food were excellent.
As always, I took a few snaps before digging in.
Spanish Omelette with Brown Bread Toast. Easily one of the best omelettes I've had. The eggs were done just right, the seasoning was perfect and the bits of mushroom were a delight.
Pancakes. Were quite nice too, although a bit too sweet for my liking. I like my syrup on the side so I can adjust the sweetness, but these pancakes were pre-dipped in juicy, sticky syrup. One was good enough for me, I kind of struggled to finish the rest. Awesome presentation, though
Waffles. The website claims these to be the 'best waffles in town' and I am not going to disagree. As Soumya rightly suggested, they were the "best waffles ever". At least, best out of whatever I've had so far. It seems like they are so simple to make, and yet it's amazing how so many places get it wrong. Not Daddy's Deli though. Their's was wonderfully warm, doused in just the perfect amount of syrup, crispy at the right places, served with some fruit and a dollop of vanilla ice cream that took the dish to a whole new level.
I would have liked to try a lot more from the menu, but unfortunately M and I don't have very large appetites so we were pretty full after these dishes. We stayed on a bit longer and I tried some of their cinnamon coffee, after which I decided that I'm not too fond of cinnamon as a spice. It's not the coffee I suppose, it's just me. We then slowly sauntered back home, not wanting to miss out on the lovely weather and the wide, green streets of Indiranagar.
The Daddy's Deli experience was pretty much like eating at home, right from the cutlery to the wonderful people who served us. We were greeted by the owner herself, who kept checking on us from time to time. The decor was quite endearing; I regret not having taken any more pictures. Daddy's Deli is basically a Parsi food restaurant with a cafe that serves breakfast and brunch. Perhaps we will return sometime to try out their Parsi fare.
If you happen stray over to this side of town, Daddy's Deli sure is a place to try out. There's an interesting story behind the conception of this restaurant, which you can read on their wesbite.
M has fallen into a light slumber and the music has stopped. I guess I'll return to my book now. Currently on my reading list is Pride and Prejudice. I've decided to re-read all 6 of Jane Austen's novels. Let's see how that goes.
How was your lazy Sunday?
