Hello All Chatora People!
It’s Been a Looooooong time! Apologies for not being
active with my posts. There were some major changes in my life. Many might
know, those who don’t lemme just update you, I recently shifted to Bangalore
for moving on with my career apart from blogging about food. It’s been like
three to four months already and I just didn't realize that the time went by so
fast.
Been exploring this super cool place with uber classy
restaurants and have discovered a bit so far. There is more yet to be explored
because this city is massive when it comes to food and party apart from those
IT hubs!
Well, one thing I noticed here in past few months is
that there are very few places that serve North Indian food. Since Bangalore
being a cosmopolitan city and people coming from all parts of the world you’ll
find a more of International Cuisines. But, for people like me who are born to
eat can enjoy this place no matter what. Indulging in the some flavorsome cuisines over here is what I do almost on every weekend! :P
So here are some Kick-ass places that I have visited
so far and I wish to dine again!
The
Black Rabbit

I still remember it was like my first weekend in
Bangalore since I shifted and I visited this place with one of my friend. The
name itself was so catchy that I couldn’t say a no! This whimsical place is
holed up at 100ft Road on Indiranagar. The moment I entered this place, I was drawn
away by its Swanky Interiors. The most eye catching part was the giant bowls
hanging upside down on the ceiling.
But, what I loved about this place was there
Burgers! This place excels in some kick-ass burgers!
Spicy
Crispy Vegetable burger

The moment it arrived on the table I was excited and couldn't wait to eat it. I was highly impressed by the stuffing which consisted
of Mayonnaise, JalapeƱo, Grilled Zucchini, Gherkins, Grilled Onions, Grilled
Tomatoes and Loads of Cheese. The
vegetables stuffed inside the patty were juicy.
The size was really apt that you cannot think of consuming anything else
after having this! Absolutely fell in love with this Burger and the Mustard
sauce they served with the Pickle was the show stealer!
Monkey
Bar

I bumped into this place on a Sunday for Easter
brunch celebration. Honestly, we were searching for a good place to dine and
almost every place in Indiranagar had an hour waiting. We were lucky enough to
find a table at this place. As soon as we entered this place seemed to be
really small and we doubted if we could actually dine there. But the best part
was that they have arranged the seating in such a way that the place won’t look
cranky. The Interiors are Funky and Stylish with Pop music adding some extra
points to it!
Veg
Kebabs with Fresh Cottage Cheese

Well seeing this name on the menu I quickly made a
perception in mind that this is going to be a typical North Indian Dish. I was
almost jumping that finally I found something from the place I belong. As soon
as the Dish was served, I was Amazed. It seemed like something really different
to what we ordered. But, to be frank the Chef was a Master Mind to convert an
Indian Dish into an International one. The Kebabs were served with 4 Pavs, which
had an altogether different taste and were truly complementing with the Kebabs.
They were light smoked plantain and Moong dal kebabs
which were stuffed with cottage cheese and herbs. They seemed to be really
light but when you actually start eating them you can feel each and every
flavour of the herbs and spices. The cottage cheese was absolutely fresh and
grabbed all the attention! A total lip smacking dish!
Go
Veg!
Go Veg! |
Oh yes! A Burger again! All these months I have been
eating loads of Burgers! Go veg was something I wanted to try from the Menu.
After the Scrumptious kebabs, I was almost full but there was something more
waiting for me. The best part about the food over here is there classy
presentation. Even if you are full the presentation will make you hungry all
over again. Go Veg Burger was something very giant to me after my heavy
starters. The patty was absolutely brilliant in taste. It consisted of some
Diced Carrots, Potatoes, Kidney Beans and Green Peas added to it my favourite
Extra Cheese to make it more heavenly. A stunning Burger on Easter just made my
Day!
Truffles
If you ever say me a place where I wish to dine
every day. I would say Truffles Ice and Spice.
A place very near to my new home in Bangalore and
where I can bump in anytime for some Kickass burgers and mouth-watering
pastries. The interiors itself are very inviting. Though the place is really
small and compact but the vibrant loud music and good food will definitely
catch your attention.
Crunchy
Veggies Burger

Well, all those who love kothey or I should say
crispy vegetable…What If I told you to serve them in a Burger?? I’m sure by now you might have started
craving! The Crunchy Veggies Burger at Truffles is something to die for and I
can eat it almost every day. It has some deep fried vegetable covered with
tangy sauce and tastes exactly like Vegetable Kothey or Crispy Vegetables found
in the Northern region of India. It tastes heavenly and absolutely very crispy!
That’s a must try for whoever visits Truffles!
Italian
Pasta Alfredo
Pasta Alfredo |
I have tried their pasta in pesto sauce but that has
never amazed me so much. But, if you
wish to try something Italian make sure to check out their Italian Pasta Alfredo.
Ask them for some extra Cheese on it to make it more divine. Since it’s made in
White mushroom sauce it’s a must try for all the people who love pasta.
One can accompany some chilled drinks with it. My Favorite is Hazelnut Frappe!
The
Biere Club
Landed up to this place with no prior plans and out
of the blue since it was a weekend and all the places had waiting for an hour
while it was raining really heavily in Bangalore. We two girls were lucky
enough to grab seats at this place even though it was jam packed. The best part
about this place is its Location. Standing at the junction of Vittal Mallya and Lavelle road just
opposite the UB City is a major plus point to grab the attention of many people.
Even though being in high competition with other places surrounded on the same
road this place makes its way being at the corner of the road.
The interiors are of
solid woodwork making it a cozy place. The place looks really compact and small
from the outside but is huge from inside with really good seating arrangements.
Mediterranean Kebabs
Cheese Sheek Kebab
Cheese Sheek Kebabs |
At first the menu
seemed to be quiet confusing to me as to what should be ordered since we were starving. We thought of experimenting so we called in
for Cheese Sheek Kebabs. The presentation
was not that appealing to me but the taste was something that changed my mind
totally. Extremely delicate soft and smooth in taste the kebabs were the stars
of the evening. Made in Pesto marinated char grilled cottage cheese and served
with romesco and harrisa. The sauces totally complemented the kebabs along with
the flat breads. This was something I shall order the next time I visit this
place.
The Biere Club’s Plank Pizzas
Tomato Mozzarella Pizza
Tomato Mozzarella Pizza |
Wanted to try their
Four Cheese Pizza but unfortunately that wasn't available. So, decided to call
in for Tomato Mozzarella Pizza. The size was huge for two girls to finish up. The
crust was extremely thin and a lil crisp making it more tempting but I won’t
say it was something new. Probably, a regular one that could be found in any
other restaurants as well.
Tossed Pasta Fettuccine
Tossed Pasta Fettuccine |
The actual problem occurred
when we called in for the pasta and they forgot to place our order in their
kitchen. Waiting for a while after our complain and found that the steward mistakenly
brought spaghetti while we ordered for Penne. He was kind enough to get that
changed but we thought to give it a try. The Pasta was light creamy with thin
chopped mushrooms, parmesan and basil oil. It was a lil sweet and wasn’t really
of my liking. I won’t say it was bad but
something that I won’t wish to try out again. Maybe because I can find better
options on the menu next time.
