We are back!
This time we have news about yet another new restaurant in Bangalore which has a name you will remember and if you visit, the food will stick to your palate for quite some time because delectable items are their speciality!
So, the new member is none other than Bombay Brasserie which launched very recently and it is located in Indiranagar. The word Brasserie means a restaurant in French style and which also serves conventional food in an unconventional way. In this case, we found glimpses of French and Italian style here and the food hits the spot.
Let's take you through what we tried.
We tried quite a few items and it was difficult to mark our favourites as most of them fit the bill!
From the beginning: The Aam Papad Paneer, Marathi Jhinga Mirch and the Calcutta Club Fish Fry were our starters.
Side by side, two drinks: Southern Express & Sailor�s Spiced.
The Aam Papad Paneer was very appetizing. The quantity was sufficient with big chunks of Paneer & Lotus stems. It was tangy & spicy with a hint of mango which you�ll feel in every bite.
The Fish Fry was done perfectly like the ones available in Calcutta, except for the fish of course. Normally Bhetki is used but in this case they used another type of fish. The fish was fresh and the coating was really thin so thumbs up!
The Marathi Jhinga Mirch was amazing. Good sized prawns tossed in a spicy mixture of chillies and garlic. It also had peanuts in it which gave it a good crunch. It was not too spicy and really well balanced in terms of flavours.
The drinks were perfect alongside these starters. The latter was not sweet but had a spicy touch. The former tasted like Rum and coke but with a whole lot of additives. Both tasted unique and went well with the food, especially the Paneer.

Now for the big main course:
Old Delhi Murgh Boti with Butter Roomali, Galawati Kebab, Kashmiri Naan Kebab, Mario�s Mango Prawns with Coconut rice & Goan Prawn Biriyani.
The first three gave us a taste of what proper North Indian kebabs taste like!
The Murgh Boti was soft, tender and spicy. The Roomali was soft, not too stretchy and a perfect partner for the Boti. Taste it to believe it!
All we have to say about the Galawati Kebab is: If you don�t know what melt in the mouth feels like, try this!
The Kashmiri Naan Kebab looks humungous but it was insanely tasty and we didn�t realize that we finished it off! The kebab was all about good old lamb and a combination of spices and coriander. It tasted phenomenal!
About the Mango Prawns: The gravy was delicious and the prawns were juicy but the star of this dish was the Coconut rice. The flavour of coconut was so refined and this creamy rice was itself enough to please us. Plus along with the tangy mango based gravy it tasted even better.
The Biriyani was spicy and lip smacking! It is more of a Lucknow style biriyani with loads of fresh & sweet prawns.

Lastly, dessert time:
Ras-e-Aam and the Mintu�s Chocolate Surprise ended our delicious meal.
The latter needs some improvement. It�s like a chocolate crepe with hazelnut spread. It has chocolate, so it�s doable but the paratha was a little stiffer than expected.
The former was one of the best desserts we have had. It is a fusion of Roshogolla, Rabdi and Aam Ras. The presentation was amazing and the taste was unparalleled! The Roshogollas were spongy and had a glazing of aam ras. The pool of Rabdi had the perfect consistency and we look forward to trying this another time!

That�s our Bombay Brasserie Experience, short and sweet.
The visiting crowd here is quite polished. We visited on a Thursday night and it was pretty full. Their pricing, quantity & quality all fall in line and no wonder people love visiting!
Do give them a visit if you want to have a good & reliable experience.
We�ll be back soon with more updates.
Till then�keep munching, keep rocking & bon apetit!
