The theme of gramin is rural north india which includes the traditional brass vessels and paintings on mud plastered walls. Keeping with the theme, few of the chairs were low, though a bit uncomfortable, its a minor sacrifice to enjoy the rural ambience.

Its one of the better places for north-indian “vegetarian” food. They claim to add zero artificial preservatives to any of their food. As usual, we ordered north Indian thali (priced at Rs. 60) which is quite reasonable for the food quality and ambience. The lassi at the end made this meal totally complete.

Dishes to try are Hara-Bara Kabab, Bhindi Rajastani, Aloo Parathas, Jal Jeera and other north-indian usuals. Also, food can be ordered to be made for Jains specifically. Can any jains, explain what that means ?

I remember a year back or so, they hardly had any space. Now they have managed to expand and add another floor on top. Still a bit crammed though, but this is koramangala, so Swalpa Adjust Maadi !! At lunchtime, you will find a hoard of techies at this place, so be expect to wait for around 10-15 mins. There is always someone outside to take your reservation and order though.

All in all, the ambience of a rural north indian village house is great, the food is delicious and service was reasonably fast.
