There aren't very many vegetarian restaurants on the drive, and Bandidas fills that void.  Their food is yummy, the quantity will stuff you, the atmosphere is relaxed and the prices are reasonable - what's not to like?

They serve breakfast all day…More »

I am a Commercial Drive junkie - although I don't live in the area. Having gone up and down Commercial Drive many, many times, there isn't another restaurant that is similar to Chongqing, however, I understand they have at least two other locations…More »

The food was really good!  When we first walked in, it was a bit chilly inside, but once the food came, we were all warm and toasty.  The restaurant itself is clean and tidy and it has a cute village kind of feeling.  The music in the background is…More »

Cute and quaint, the little restaurant is friendly and cozy, great for get-togethers and casual 1 on 1s.  They have notes posted along the walls from previous guests recommending certain menu items & thanking them.

The service is great, the staff is…More »

This has been one of my regular hangouts in the last few years and this place has never disappointed me.

I've gone during their lunch hour and they have a good lunch selection.  They are always changing things up.  I have yet to have had something…More »

The service was friendly from the get-go.  The food was fresh and each time I've gone, they've got a new kind of pizza!  The first time I went, I wanted to be adventurous and tried their sausage pizza - it looked a bit odd to have mini sausages on a…More »

Its gotta be one of the jewels of Commercial Drive!!

For a long time, we eyed this place trying to decide whether or not we should go in because the exterior didn't look very inviting - but don't be fooled!!

When you first walk in, the music is upbeat…More »
