Tried and Typed

Sharing everyday brand, product and service experiences. Tried it, typed about it.

What I buy. What I experience.
The good, the bad and the quietly brilliant. Sharing what it actually feels like to be the customer.

Verdict:
- Food: Great 🍽️
- Service: Okay 🤷‍♂️
- Ambience: Great ✨
- Noise: High 📢

Americano is definitely a good place to dine but not worth the hype with a waiting list of a month.

Visited the much-hyped restaurant Americano last Sunday night. Here’s how it went 👇

Service: Started fine, then mid-meal they asked us to change tables (yes, really). New server didn’t know our order and kept pushing starters while we were asking for mains.

Epigamia Turbo has to be the best protein shake so far. It is smooth, tastes good and gives an easy 25g protein.

PVR when you arrive on time:

"Great! Now sit through 25 minutes of ads."

PVR when you're 10 minutes late:

"Sorry sir, you’ve missed the most important part of the film."

Anurag Basu nails romance in a time where it’s the hardest genre to crack.
Loved the film and it’s definitely worth a watch. ❤️

Metro… In Dino is one of those romantic films that doesn’t try too hard and that’s exactly why it works. It’s light, real and refreshing.

Aditya Roy Kapur plays the emotionally unavailable guy we’ve seen before but this character was written with more depth. Pankaj Tripathi is effortlessly funny. Others too play their part really well.

Dream11’s credit system feels like that rule that has no value but still exists. Picked all the big names for the England vs India Test and still have 6.5 credits left.

Here’s my team 👇

Overall the experience was good, but not quite worth the hype either. The excess crowd takes away from the charm.

Would maybe go again but on a weekday.

Visited the much-hyped French café Paul at Lower Parel on Saturday evening. 

After a 15 min wait, entered into a fully packed place with tables squeezed into every corner.

Most tables were for two which gave a causal datey vibe.

Avocado toast, hot chocolate and a pain au chocolat made for a perfect evening meal. The pain au chocolat is definitely a must-try.

Saved ₹60K on EazyDiner vs ₹12.7K on Zomato.

No idea why it’s not half as popular as Zomato. EazyDiner is a hidden gem for eating out, use it before the offers disappear.

The best part about modern multi-cuisine spots like Eve, One8 Commune, Demy and others?

No need to pre-plan what to eat or match everyone’s preferences. Just show up, enjoy great food and good vibes.

@AxisBankSupport Hi, I’m not receiving any calls, just sharing feedback. There's a lot of cross-sell during calls made to phone banking. Maybe tone it down a bit on service-related calls.

[Tried and Typed @TriedAndTyped]

Called Axis Bank customer care to check my milestone spend on the Vistara Infinite credit card.

Here’s how the 7-minute call went:

🧵

[Tried and Typed @TriedAndTyped]

Call ended with:
"Axis is dil se open to help." (And sell, sell, sell)

Only if banks focused more on service than sales.
