Papa John's, SP Infocity, Perungudi

It was a fateful day when my friend and I were forced to visit the Papa John’s outlet in SP Infocity, Perungudi. Papa John’s have redefined pocket-friendly by introducing real pocket sized pizzas at abnormal rates so that no one ever asks for pocket friendly options again.

As it was quite late, and even the Subway here had shut down, Papa John’s was the only dinner option left for me and I ordered for 2 Regular sized Veg Pizzas. Rate mentioned in the menu was Rs. 165, incl. taxes, it came to Rs. 200 each, Rs. 400 in total.

Typically when someone says Regular I expect around 8 – 9″. This was super small (as you can see from the picture). I was shell-shocked at the size.

Taste: I honestly couldn’t feel any taste in their pizzas either. It was just hot, with some cheese and veggies thrown in haphazardly.

Service: Though it’s technically self-service, the attitude of the person manning the billing counter was quite bad. When I tried to order for a normal Garlic Bread, he tried to force me to take the costlier version of the Garlic bread (which incidentally is priced 2x of the normal one, just for the added cheese). When I refused, he said they don’t have the plain Garlic bread.

I wasn’t even provided a bill for this order. He conveniently ‘forgot’ the bill and later claimed the machine isn’t working.

I’ve been to Papa John’s Nungambakkam outlet when they opened a few years back and comparing the two, I feel they’ve dropped into a deep pit.

In the end, I’m as hungry as I was before visiting the place, just Rs.400 poorer

Rating:

Taste: 2.5/5

Quantity: 1/5

Service: 1/5

VFM: 1/5

MC's Lunchbox, Porur

Update : Got a call from the MC’s Lunchbox team, assuring me that they’ll be taking corrective action on this issue and will keep training sessions for their delivery folks (who, it appears, are outsourced) to ensure this doesn’t happen. Keeping this in mind, updating my rating to reflect more on the food and less on the delivery. Food: 3.5/5 Delivery: 2.5/5 (For now). Personal opinion: Considering the efforts the team has taken to go through the feedback in detail, take corrective measures, and keep the customers informed about it, I’m more than willing to try MC’s Lunchbox again. ==================================================================== Tried out MC’s Lunchbox for dinner delivery last week, for 3 days. Chose the delivery time as 9 PM – 10 PM, as that’s when I’d like to have my dinner (and also because I work on the night shift). Food: The rotis are good, the gravies are passable. VFM for the price paid (incl. delivery) ...

Coal Barbecues, Velachery

Food Blogger’s Meet at Coal Barbecues It was a fine Friday evening when a bunch of food bloggers (Yes, someone told us we’ve to stick to that fancy term) decided to meet at a blogger’s meet (Now you know why we stuck to that term :P) organized by Coal Barbecues, the fancy new BBQ restaurant in Velachery. The food was on-the-house, however the review is my personal opinion based on our experience. (PS: This is kinda late review, as our visit happened almost 2 months back – Blame it on my hyper-busy RL 🙁 ) Quite a few BBQ restaurants have been cropping up in the city of late and Coal Barbecues is another addition to that ever-growing list. Located in the so-called “Manhattan of Chennai” (Dei, Anna Nagar with our tower is the heart of Chennai da :P), it’s bound to attract a lot of folks and is easy to spot as well. It has got ‘ample’ parking space for about 4 cars, so you can most definitely pack your bags and land here without packing...
