Al Baik, Brigade Road: Tasty Bites with Room for Refinement
Our visit to Al Baik on Brigade Road was largely positive, thanks to its vibrant atmosphere and standout dishes. The food overall was satisfying, with the burger emerging as an absolute highlight—perfectly crafted, juicy, and packed with flavor. Equally impressive was the mango lassi, which was nothing short of heavenly: creamy, balanced, and easily among the best we’ve tasted.

Read moreThey don't have that taste which was provided during the initial days when they started this restaurant. Now, the taste is very poor - biryani has no spice. I ordered mandi recently and was highly disappointed, when the mandi arrived the mandi of Al baik is weird it comes in a plain kashmiri type pulav with cashew sprinkled on top and zero spice.

You can only order burgers, fries and crispy chicken as only...
