This review is going to be a short one. It doesn&rsquo;t deserve much. By the looks of it, we thought it would make it to the vegetarian neighbourhood landmarks category a la Kalyani, around the corner. But it doesn&rsquo;t. At least, not yet. <img alt="" src="/imagedata/2012/jul/Paneer-Thread.jpg" style="width: 500px; height: 341px; " /> Paneer Thread u00a0 The menu is predictable &mdash; Indian and Chinese and a Pav Bhaji live counter. But even though there were quite a few people present, the place completely lacked the energetic vibe that usually adds buzz to a joint. The eatery was half-lit, lacked energy and served average food. We began with Buttermilk (Rs 25) and a Palak Soup (Rs 65). Our chaas tasted like the chef had mistakenly mixed coconut chutney instead of dahi into water; it was horrid. Our soup was average and watery and had no striking flavours. <img alt="" src="/imagedata/2012/jul/biryani.jpg" style="width: 500px; height: 318px; " /> Biryani For starters, we knew we shouldn&rsquo;t, but we braved a Chinese dish. The Veg Fried Wantons (Rs 100) arrived on a bed of julienned cabbage and carrots which were the saviours. The wantons that should ideally be delicate and tender, were deep-fried to a dark pakoda crisp. The little ball of filling was stir-fried veggies in soy sauce, but was so microscopic that you could hardly bite into it. Disastrous. <img alt="" src="/imagedata/2012/jul/veg-maharaja.jpg" style="width: 500px; height: 334px; " /> Veg Maharaja Our mains were the Veg Banjara (Rs 105) which was equally bad. It was a mix of chopped vegetables in brown, tasteless thick gravy. Thank god for the Butter Pudina Roti (Rs 20). As for the Dal Palak (Rs 75), which came in a little bucket and looked a green resembling turtle-backs, was alright but again without any special noteworthy character. Ditto the Veg Pulao (Rs 70) &mdash; average and tasteless.u00a0Should we say any more? <h2 class="footer_style"> Shivanjalee Food: Sad Service: Polite Ambience: Lackluster</h2> <h2 class="footer_style"> At: Goodwill Enclave, on the Bishop&rsquo;s School road, Kalyani Nagar.
