The very first Gastropub of Bengaluru, may be shutting it's doors at home, but still amazes people in Mumbai, Kolkata and Delhi. The spirit is amazing and the new menu has been launched here across the country and in Bengaluru, it's only until 24 of this month.
Monkey bar is where many people have had their first cocktails including me, their new cocktails with a twist to the classics are definitely amazing. Have you ever heard of Rasam Mary? Well, this even looks like a Bloody Mary too with a round masala papad on top. Adorned with pepper on the edge of the glass, rasam's roasted red chillies, vodka and Indian spices with a tinge of tomato made this cocktail messemerising. Juicy Martini, as the name says one can feel slight notes of pear and high alple notes in a normal martini. Also, one should not miss sip me tender which has citrus and run infusion,giving us a tangy flavour which is just a treat on the tongue for citrus lovers.
To start their meal, one can begin with Meen Pollichattu, which is a typical Kerala dish, where fish is fried and wrapped in a banana leaf; basically, one makes use of karimeen from the ocean, here we find it made in locally sourced fish. Onion cheese kulcha!! What more to say? Dealt with awesomeness. Panner tarkari shaslik, as fancy as it sounds, the dish looks fancy too. The Central Asian shaslik substituted with cottage cheese where soft grilled Panner has a burst of flavours. Kasundi Chicken, how many of us do not prefer a chicken tikka? This turmeric marinated meat is perfect to end your starters.
When we get into mains, we can have a Barnyard Veg Burger is a perfect delicacy for all the Vegetarians, firstly burger to bun ratio is perfect and we won't get an extra bit of bun or patty in the end. Thai style chicken is not new to us, the dish has perfected well. Gundruk prawn rice is a peppery with prawns tossed in and goes very well with the fried rice, the Vegetarian version has small peices of veggies chopped in. Well, we all love Chicken Ghee Roast, here we can have the delicious Mangalorean dish in a Bao. The consistency is perfect, where the Bao is made so well that there is no leakage of gravy from the ghee roast, this can be termed as one of the fusions executed and delicious than the original.
For Desserts, one can blindly put their bets on the amazing Eton mess.
Been there few times. Spreader across two floors, its one of the most beloved place for the pub lovers. Ambiance is very catchy. I used to love their pool table, which has been taken out off late. Menu is quite extensive covering almost all types of cuisine. I love their appetizers specially the Butterfly Chicken. Also they servers few classic but amazing cocktails.
Service is really quick and very courteous. Price is little on higher side but if you keep them for special occasions, probably you won't mind much.
The only complain I have, they shouldn't remove the pool table.
Overall I will go with 4 out of 5.
Ambiance: 4.5
Food: 4.5
Service: 4.0
Cost to pocket: 3.5
Such a nice Bar in Indiranagar really they deserve to get any time with every guest five star⭐ coz of their food and the cocktails it's really testing good. Bangalore must go experience before they shut down the place. You will have a good fun with their service too. Pork belly with manga test yummy
