Wine, Dine and Dance - Silly Point Cafe

Tucked away, stitched into the Laurel Lane in Richmond Town, Bangalore is the silent Silly Point Cafe. If you are a avid cricket watcher, you might want to check it out. Housed by the Bat and Ball Inn Home Stay (owned by the cricketers Robin Utthappa and Sreesanth) this place is a joy for cricket trivia folks. The cafe itself has a menu which seems impressive but is incredibly slow. What I mean is, there is a man (singular) running the cafe – who cooks, bills and serves. And its easily an hour before you get the simplest of the things on the menu like the french fries. The menu has an impressive look and feel with names “forward short leg” for the chow in it. The Inn houses a lot of cricket memorabilia, photographs, cartoons, funny-posters about cricket. Its the perfect food for the cricket fan who loves to talk cricket right from the Ranjit Singh era. The Silly Point cafe, however has limited seating area. There are sign boards which give you the distance in kilometers to cricket stadiums around the country. You'd be close to the Chinnaswamy stadium from Silly Point Cafe. The Silly Point is the perfect Cricket Cafe. The genre is more than just welcome.
