College friends, Bengaluru, Saturday night

Four friends, twelve tastes across music, film, shows and food. Watch the agent recover from “Sid Sriram's new song” and choose between two Anirudhs.

Saturday: dinner at The 13th Floor

The 13th Floor · ₹₹₹ · 13th Floor, Tower-B 84, Mahatma Gandhi Rd, Haridevpur, Shanthala Nagar, Ashok Nagar Bengaluru, Karnataka 560001 India

Asha: Asha, your AR Rahman and Kumbalangi Nights taste lines up with this rooftop, and the Tandoori Mushroom Deedar should work for you.
Ravi: Ravi, this one fits your RRR and Diljit vibe, and it stays within your budget.
Meera: Meera, it matches your Toit, Prateek Kuhad and Panchayat taste, with a good drinks menu and a relaxed rooftop mood.
Karthik: Karthik, your Anirudh, Sid Sriram and Kantara picks all point here, so expect a rooftop night with good music.

Asha, can you check that The 13th Floor has enough veg options? We couldn't confirm that.

What the agent assumed or couldn't check

Karthik: Anirudh was ambiguous, so I assumed Anirudh Ravichander, the Tamil music composer.
Karthik: I couldn't match "Sid Sriram's new song" as a song, so I used the artist Sid Sriram instead.
Asha: veg options not known for The 13th Floor (Qloo has no data on it)

X-ray: the Qloo data behind this plan

Without Qloo

Meghana Foods, Indiranagar

Qloo has it as Meghana Foods Indira Nagar · ₹₹ · Metro Station Indira Nagar Near 544, Chinmaya Mission Hospital Rd, Hoysala Nagar, Indiranagar Bengaluru, Karnataka 560038, India

Asha: Asha, they have a proper full veg menu (paneer biryani, great starters), so you're covered, and you can end the night with a filter coffee nearby.
Ravi: Ravi, the biryani here is the whole reason to go, and it's easy on the wallet so you're well within your budget.
Meera: Meera, it's a lively spot in Indiranagar, so we can grab a craft beer at a Toit-style taproom after dinner if you're up for it.
Karthik: Karthik, the place has that buzzy Saturday-night energy, perfect for debating whether Kantara or RRR wins while the food keeps coming.

These reasons aren't checked against any data.

With Qloo (the plan above)

The 13th Floor

Asha: Asha, your AR Rahman and Kumbalangi Nights taste lines up with this rooftop, and the Tandoori Mushroom Deedar should work for you.
Ravi: Ravi, this one fits your RRR and Diljit vibe, and it stays within your budget.
Meera: Meera, it matches your Toit, Prateek Kuhad and Panchayat taste, with a good drinks menu and a relaxed rooftop mood.
Karthik: Karthik, your Anirudh, Sid Sriram and Kantara picks all point here, so expect a rooftop night with good music.

Every reason cites Qloo evidence; see the X-ray.

How well each pick matches each friend's tastes
Friend	Without Qloo	With Qloo
Asha	8	75
Ravi	0	96
Meera	4	100
Karthik	13	71
Least happy friend	0	71

How this is measured, and what it doesn't prove

Both places are scored the same way: Qloo's affinity for each friend, from that friend's own tastes, turned into a percentile among the 24 candidate places plus the no-Qloo pick (100 = their best match there). Raw affinities: Asha 0.795 vs 0.818; Ravi 0.784 vs 0.874; Meera 0.873 vs 0.933; Karthik 0.831 vs 0.871.

This uses Qloo's own taste model as the yardstick, and the candidate places are Qloo's recommendations, so it shows how far a generic guess is from each friend's taste profile. It isn't an independent test of whether real people would enjoy the evening more. The parts that need no Qloo score: whether a pick breaks someone's limits, and whether a reason is backed by data.
