When you dine here, choose between Arabian, Indian and Chinese cuisine.  Savoury Restaurant in Kammanahalli (Bangalore East) Alfaham BBQ Chicken  My order for the day was the Alfaham BBQ Chicken and the Jumbo Shawarma Roll and I chose to parcel it to home instead of dining-in.

Angry Birds Birthday Cake (Amma’s Pastries) My daughter is a big fan of Angry Birds and we decided to present her an Angry Bird Cake for her 11th Birthday. We ordered it from Amma’s Pastries in HRBR Layout, Bangalore. The cake was delivered to us at no extra cost.
