God tussi great ho

Kalinga & Kebab Court are the new restaurants ( part of the Savera group?) recently opened in Velachery. Hot and happening Velachery!! ( my new rant- When will Pallikarnai-Medavakam follow suit?)

Kalinga( strange name - did they want it to be a war zone?) was a well appointed restaurant basic with nice touches like the black and white wall sketches depicting rural scenes with just a bit of colour for relief. We all had veg thali meals and found it good and with the expected and desirable pappu podi, avvakai and excellent gongura chutney. I wish they had interesting dessert items from Andhra and starters like ponnugulu( guntha panagalu) and maybe mini pesarettu. If it was indeed there, I did not notice.

Anush enjoyed her finger bowls and curd rice in that order and kept asking about the Telugu film music that was playing

I have been to the Kebab Court on ECR and find it above average but NOT in the league of Kebab Factory at Radisson. But of course the prices are also more affordable- you get as you pay at least in this case.

As for the movie, God tussi great ho will disappoint Amitabh fans and will delight Salman fans in the first half. The second half drags and drones on for all fans and non fans alike. For the first time I liked Priyanka and her look in this movie

This is Chennai's Bday week and lot of interesting things are planned...... take a look here

Thanks Sree for this. I am honoured and would like to pass it on to all those who have commented in the last 3 posts. ( They are my readers so they must be brilliant and I am so modest)

And yeah another thumbs up for Sushil Kumar's bronze in wrestlng.
