Our quest for good food and a treat from anyone among us took us to a roof top restaurant on outer ring road. “Roomali” is a north Indian restaurant that serves buffet dinner. It was Friday and Praphulla had bought a set of speakers for his laptop. This was a big enough occasion for all of us to enjoy with a dinner. So me, Mayank, Praphulla, Saket and Shilpi went on to try this new place. We had heard a little about this place, but we were still skeptical.
Though it was a roof top restaurant, still wasn’t really open. The lower part was covered and there was some place on the terrace too, but reserved for a party. We had to be content with a seat in a corner, without the view of the road. The interiors had a look of royalty, giving a feel of Rajasthan. As we took an inspecting look into the restaurant, it struck our mind to have dal bhaati churma. We looked in surprise as it was in the menu.
To start with, jal jeera was served. Then we went on a rampage to monitor and decide on the dinner. Apart from the soup, there was a veg and non-veg starter, dal bhaati churma, chhole, palak paneer, dal, rice and jalebi, phirni and ice cream in dessert. The meal looked promising. I usually don’t try soup, as I believe if we have it just before dinner, it kills the appetite instead of building it. As per others, the shorba was good. The tikki in veg starter and chicken kali mirch in non-veg were too good. After fulfilling the desires for chicken, we moved to dal bhaati churma. The specialty about this Rajasthani delicacy is that if any one of the three contents is not made proper, the whole taste is lost. To our surprise, all three were near to perfection. The dal tasted good, bhaati was soft and was cooked till the core with ghee mixed in the dough. The churma was fine and perfectly roasted. There was ghee to mix and enjoy it in the real state. After having this much, the need for main course was nearly over. The main coarse dishes were good but the paneer was disappointing, quite like any place in Bangalore. I have not tasted soft paneer in Bangalore till date. After the dinner it was turn for some desserts. As jalebi was present, so ice cream was neglected and stomachs were filled to contentment. We had filled ourselves up to the brim and so needed some paan to end the party. It seemed like our wishes were coming true, the next thing that came with the bill was paan.
After having a stomach full of good food and paying just 199 per person, we moved to CCD to have a cup of coffee.

Coming on to the rating business for analytical minds to judge on the restaurant, i’ll say (on a scale of 10)
Ambience – 9
Taste – 9
Value for Money – 9
