In the first year of college at R.V.Engineering College,Bangalore we had a

major problem.Although the food in our mess was much better than most

places,there was no proper restaurant which could be considered

hygenic.Although there was a small dhaba which served decent food but it

was untidy and not in proper shape.While entering 2nd year in 1999 the

place outisde our college started developing.A few shops opened up and

finally a restaurant called-Hotel Dreamland came up.We visited Dreamland

for the first time when it was still in the developing state.That day we

did not like the food and thought that we will never visit the place

again.We did so for a year or so.However somewhere in March-1999 all that

changed.We used to go for tutions in the evening and at times when we would

return the mess was closed down and we had to eat in Dreamland.

It was then that our relationship with Dreamland started.Its

a very normal restaurant without any airconditioners but it is a perfect

place for students.Our college is on the Mysore Road in Bangalore and I can

easily say that Dreamland is the best restaurant in the nearby 10

kilometres.I dont know why has mouthshut put this under Mysore city as I had requested it under Bangalore.It is situated on Mysore Road just 1 km from Bangalore University.

I fell in love with the chilly chicken and manchurian they used to

serve.Instead of having noodles with it,I started having it with

parathas.Try Chilly Chicken Gravy with Parathas and u will now what I

mean.The parathas are of different types however the best one is Cylon

paratha.It is rather big but for a foodie like me it is best bread.Kerala

Praotha is round in shape and not bad either.Another favourite is

Egg-parotha but its best when eaten just with some ketchup.Another Parotha

is Kothu Parotha where the parotha is reduced to a scramble of egg and

parotha and is spicy.If u want to have rice with chicken gravy then u can

chose between masala rice and ghee rice.Ghee rice as the name suggests is

oily whereas Masala rice is the rice prepared for Biryani(without

pieces).tHe dishes have generous helping and only if can hog a lot can u

finish the full gravy urself as it has around 6-7 pieces of chicken.

However the noodles and fried rice are the most consumed dishes of the

day.I being anon-veg freak used to eat a lot of Chicken Noodles and Chicken

Fried Rice.Last month as I visited Bangalore for some work and went to

Dreamland it has started a new Mixed Noddles and Mixed Fried Rice.Its an

amazing dish for non-vegetarian.It has noodles with chunks and chunks of

both chicken and mutton aptly fried and now the quality of noodles and its

serving has considerably improved.Since the target customers are students

the dishes are reasonably priced between 38-50 for the noodles and fried

rice.Again the quantity is sufficient.I cannot count the number of times my

friends and I have feasted on a plate of noodles/fried rice and lime

juice.

What made Dreamland click in a big way initially was the range of

juices and shakes it serves.U get lime juice,orange,musambi and the tasty

water melon juice.Among the shakes my favourite was banana shake and

Cheeku-Saphota Shake.They also served custard apple shake and date

shakes.Now they have a separate counter for shakes and the juice counter is

full throughout the day.In the evenings after playing some sports one can

spot lots of hostelites having some juice or Milo shake at dreamland.Since

its just opposite the college we used to go there practically everyday.Even

when we were out of cash we used to have big treats and then put the money

in our ACCOUNTS-which were cleared later.The restaurant is run by Keralites

Muslims so the non-veg food served is really good.The service is good and we obviously became friendly with the staff.

For us ofcourse another favourite dish was/is Mutton/Chicken Biryani.Priced

at a reasonable Rs.38/45,this was my personal dish.In the sense that a time

came when I had Biryani for consecutively 4-5 days and the aiter used to

just confirm whether I would have Biryani or some other dish.Here I would

like to tell that Biryani is ready a bit late say around 12p.m. whereas

noodles and other items are ready by 10 a.m.The biryani is in Hyderabadi

style and served with a boiled egg on top.U get some gravy and this is the

most economical heavy meal one can have here.At times if we were very

hungry we would order our biryani and then order a side-dish mostly Chicken

Kababs(A favourite Bangalorean dish) which would be shared by 2-3

people.Chicken kabab is totally different from the Lucknawi Kababs and are

pieces of fried chicken which are spicy.Butter Chicken and Chicken Mughlai were also decent but could not be finished alone.

For the vegetarians the Gobi manchurian(the most famous dish of Bangalore) was really good.I preferred the gravy one over the dry.The Paneer Butter Masala also was good.

For me and most of my friends Dreamland meant much more than a hotel.It was a place where we used to hang out.We used to rag our juniors,we used to open our hearts to friends and discuss serious issues.We would go in a gang at times and stay there for 2 hours eating and chatting.Or at times my friend and myslef would go and sit for hours and have food and discuss movies,politics and ubderworld.
