Texas Fiesta- Chennai

We were in search of a place to chat without any disturbance and have fun along with food. But we were disappointed with some of the restaurants. One fine day we were walking along the streets of nungambakkam discussing about the life style of cow boys and texas. Suddenly we found something that was with the name texas. Without a second thought we entered the restaurant. First we ordered for garlic bread with the name "Mojo De Ajo". It was garlic bread garnished with cheese toppings. And then we took burgers and an apple pie.
All the dishes took some time to reach our table from the kitchen. The restaurant had some stuffs to play and roam around. The walls were decorated by cow boy caps and guns. With the permission of the waiters, we took those to a have some pics of ours. And the ambience of he restaurant was quite amazing and calm. Hence the food, the ambience and all other things was very much good when compared to others.

This would be a dream destination for the Texas lover's.
But still the space complexity is the main constraint with this place. Otherwise it is good.

Tibetan Brothers Restaurant, Kodaikanal


I was quite hungry after climbing the steep roads of the hill town and it was unusually cold biting. So i wished to have a hot and spicy food. But something different. I turned my heads on all sides and found out Tibetan Brothers Restaurant.

Once i entered in, the person who owns the restaurant came to me with a smiling face, a glass of water, a plate and a menu card. Being an alien cuisine i was not able to recognize the food by its name. Certain thing that i saw was, Veg. cheese chowmein, Veg. Momo etc. Others were quite recognizable. So i asked him, What is chowmein and Momo? He replied, Chowmein is nothing but noodles and Momo is like samosa.

Being it an afternoon time, i didn't want to go for a Momo. So i decided to choose chowmein to fix up my hunger. It should've been a 10 minutes time since i ordered. Veg. cheese chowmein was in my table. I thought they would've grated cheese on the fried noodle or would've melted it initially to saute vegetables. But i found cubes of cheese in the noodle. It tastes really good. I guess pepper, soya sauce should be used to cook. Not overcooked and i didn't find too much of any ingredients. The good part they make their own noodle with a noodle making machine.

Ambience of the restaurant would get an average score. Traditional Tibetan furnitures would have increased the score in terms of ambience. But overall i like to rate it around 6.5 out of 10.
