Excellent Neem Soap and Great VFM

I have been using Medimix neem soap for years. I was very happy with Medimix and saw no reason to try anything else except for the odd Khadi soap picked up impulsively from exhibitions every now and then. A few months ago a friend mentioned Patanjali soaps as being good AND cheap. I remember...Read more

Not as good as Dabur Red

I am a regular user and an avid proponent of Dabur Red toothpaste. In my experience it is pretty effective as a toothpaste and as a preventive for mild oral ailments. Application of Dabur toothpaste in situ also alleviates mild gum pain. Mind you I have no scientific evidence collated, this is a...Read more

Yes, Indiamike has certainly gone down the drain in the past year or so. Pity because it was a vibrant site once upon a time but not anymore.

Hearty wholesome healthy meal
Rama Udipi Nayak Hotel - Matunga - Mumbai

Its okay, but it is not a patch on what it used to be once upon a time. Nowadays something is lacking in the taste. Their potato wafers are of course, the best in Bombay. Whenever we pass by Matunga, we pick up a few bags of their wafers, yummy. Thanks for the info about feast days. I did not ...know about that.Read More

Reliable and comfortable taxi service in Bangalor

We were in Bangalore for five days recently during a busy trade show period. Attempts to hire cars were futile as all the operators we called said that their vehicles were fully booked for the period. Meru and Easycab did not turn up when we called them. When we reminded them, they said that ...Read more

We went there twice last week while on a Bangalore visit. Service is superb and warm, the restaurant is large and well lit, with darker corners for those who prefer a dimly lit environment.

Never again

We went to Fava in UB City last week, in a group of five.  Initially we were seated in the outdoor area but as other diners were smoking - very surprising as I thought smoking is banned in public areas - we were shown the indoor section, a cavernous and dingy room. Service was indifferent fro...Read more

I bought a pair of Bata Weinbrenner hiking shoes a few months ago for a sale price of around Rs 1300.  Compared with Nike, Reebok, Woodland etc, I felt it was value for money and Weinbrenner is supposed to be a good walking shoe. The shoes are lightweight and airy with a sturdy sole.  I inaug...Read more

My review is about Candies at Mac Ronells, that venerable old Bandra institution - Mac R, not Candies that is! Candies is hugely popular, a fact that is abundantly obvious by the volumes of disorderly parked cars blocking the narrow Bandra streets outside. Once you push your way in, believe m...Read more

I am using Vodafone for the last 6 years and was given an add on number recently with free calls between the main sim and the add on.

BSNL won't block sim if you lose it outside circle
BSNL CellOne / Excel Mobile Operator

I think Rashmi, you have not understood what I wrote. BSNL refuses to block a SIM through 1503, if you call that number from OUTSIDE your circle. If you have the misfortune to lose your sim OUTSIDE your circle, you will not be able to block it by calling 1503 from OUTSIDE your circle. Other mo...bile providers do not have this problem, they will block a lost sim if you call their helpline from anywhere. That is the point Im trying to make. Obviously you will get the same number again when you get your replacement SIM after the original sim has been lost. There is no need to get any lost report from the police station if the sim is lost and not stolen.Read More

Good review. I would just like to add that there is also an ST mini bus shuttle service between Karjat station, Neral station and Dasturi naka which operates once every 30min. Cheap and handy for those who miss the train or do not want to splurge on a taxi. Monsoons are also lovely even thou...gh it rains heavily and in my opinion the best season are the months of September and October when you get the combination of mist, wildflowers and butterflies in abundance.Read More
