Why do we frequent Koshy’s?

February 23rd, 2007  |  Published in Entertainment, Humour, Living  |  6 Comments

This is one great mys­tery for me.

Most of the time the food is noth­ing to write home about and not value for money. The wait­ers talk to you like you are a very sad life form that doesn’t deserve to exist, the place is noisy and you can lit­er­ally hear the con­ser­va­tion on both sides of your table and beyond!

There’s this par­tic­u­lar harsh review of the place here.

Not to for­get the strangest expe­ri­ences you have. Like this one that Suman and I had a few months ago.

Some­time ago, I was there with a few of my friends. We were chat­ting and mak­ing as much noise as every­one else. The waiter came up to us and told us to keep our voices down despite the fact that nearly every­one was talk­ing as loudly!!

The other day, went there for break­fast with a cou­ple of friends.

Can I have a tea with the lemon and milk sep­a­rately, friend Sabir asks rather nicely.

You can’t, replies the rude waiter. You can have only lemon or milk.

Yes, but can I have it on the side, asks Sabir again.

No, replies, the waiter, we can only serve lemon or milk with one pot. And he adamantly refused to hear what Sabir was try­ing to say!

And yet, we con­tinue to return. The reg­u­lars will swear by the place.

Why, I won­der? Is it the con­ve­nience? Or is it the atmos­phere of the place? It’s one of those deep, dark mys­ter­ies, I tell you.

    Yeah, that was a bit too much. Any­way, I’m look­ing for places to meet besides Koshy’s. The trou­ble is…we don’t have many choices that are so cen­trally located.

    Koshys has become a pain… gone are the days when you could just sit there for hours on end engrossed in dis­cus­sions over cof­fee and some smileys.

    I always thought lemon+milk=cheese.
    Sorry, Anita. I couldn’t resist.>;)

    Years ago, when the British Coun­cil library was up above Koshy’s, I used to visit the restau­rant for nice cup of cof­fee or a veg­etable biryani! Even then, if you took books with you from the library, the wait­ers or the Man­ager would get annoyed and show some intense dis­plea­sure. I guess the “colo­nial” fever hasn’t sub­sided yet.

    Unfor­tu­nately, the qual­ity of ser­vice is directly pro­por­tion­ate to the tip you leave.

    The food isn’t bad, some of it any­way. Like their iced tea, it’s the best in the world.

    Koshy’s is no longer a restaurant…it’s an institution…why Koshy’s you ask?…for the real answer to that, one only needs to step in to the kitchen, take a look around & the next time one is at another cafe in Bangalore(5-star cof­fee shops included) step into & take a look around their kitchen…the rude wait­ers notwithstanding,there’s one good rea­son to keep going back to Koshy’s…
