Lazeez

Looking back, it's tempting to find some strange augury in the last trip to 3 Storys. But The Hoggers have remembrances far worse than the midget at the helm here! Hence, they hunted down a small restaurant on a narrow winding street on a rather calm day. The Hoggers were lead to Lazeez Restaurant by their Pot Bellied Friend who'd quit his nonexistent "diet-to-reduce-your-cleavage" just that morning. It seems he calls his belly ‘Steve’ and that he’d once killed a giraffe with it.

Pronouncing the name of the restaurant was an exhilarating period of learning but The Hoggers couldn't waste time to indulge in quantum literature anymore. Barging in, they immediately went for the menu card. The place's hugely popular for it Katti Rolls and Kababs. The onus to order for the carnivores fell upon the shoulders of Brewmaster Bryan and he immediately shouted out for the Lazeez Special Kabab. The herbies, Pat & Fin weren't far behind; they'd made a killing with Masala Naans, Paneer Tikka and Paneer Mutter Masala. Thank God for the cow and its milk! Beer Bob stressed the importance of gravy and suggested the Mutton Tawa. Butter Naans and Mutton Biriyani were called in to complete the assortment. They washed it all down with some Coke since the place did not serve poison (alcohol).

The food in general was pretty decent. The Kababs were delicious especially the tiny chicken wings which were nice and tender. It was rightly cooked and the juices were just intact. Mutton Tawa was a huge disappointment as it was filled with something that looked like the goat genitals. Moreover, they'd filled it up with too much oil, this upset Bob and Bryan who were ‘dieting’. The veggies had a good lunch as the paneer actually saved the day for them. It had good texture and the tikkas weren't burnt in the usual style. Again, how wrong can you go with milk? Naans were soft but much smaller to their liking. The worst was the Mutton Biriyani which was cold, bland and never really looked like one. Bangalore's yet to impress The Hoggers with a good biriyani. It seems the city stole its biriyani recipe from the Pokhran tests which went wrong. They really need to look up for some spices.

But it was a good experience after all. Their Kathi Rolls are also a must try especially the Double Mutton-Egg combo. The guy selling rolls outside the college would commit hara-kiri if he were to eat one. Sloppy Sam was dearly missed as he'd contacted swine flu. Just when they were about to send in the condolences, news came in that he'd been cured by a simple remedy which always worked for him. He exterminated the virus by eating it. He's happy and kicking now. The Pseudo Sophisticated could not make it yet again. It seems he was busy explaining, to a 3 year old kid, that Star Wars was a documentary and that the character Darth Vader was based on him.
