Belling the Right Flavours

Now chances are that when someone suggests Taco Bell for a meal, the fine dining lover in you will turn up your nose at the prospect. Till now, the brand has existed in food courts and that's been India's first introduction to Taco Bell-style Mexicana. Yet now, they have launched their first restaurant space (if you can call it that) at the Epicuria mall in Nehru Place. The space has a typically fast food vibe with wooden furniture, a menu in big, bold letters up on display and music that is young and preppy.

There are a few differences though. In a first, the brand is serving liquor at this restaurant; there is beer and what is referred to as a 'twisted freeze' which is a combination of an icy flavoured slush and rum, tequila or vodka. You also have 'hard shakes' that are vanilla ice cream-based shakes available in flavours as varied as Jack Daniels with honey, vodka with Kahlua etc.
