Move on from "Holy Cow" and "Holy Sh**" . Holy Flames is the new buzz in town. We all know that Bangalore is a Cosmopolitan city and people from different parts of India and the world are coming here in large numbers. In such a situation, clearly there is a lot of demand for good food and a variety of food to choose from.
