Coal Spark Restaurant — Restaurant in Bengaluru

My love for Middle Eastern food made me visit Coalspark at HSR Layout earlier this week. They are popular for their Arabian style Grilled dishes as well as Indian dishes.

Going to a restaurant is not easy as it was before. When a restaurant and its staff follow all the safety measures, diners feel utmost comfortable. One of the co-founders talks to every customer and it was a surprise to see the restaurant was almost full on a weekday afternoon. Their staffs are also very attentive.

I tried their fast-selling 'Pepper Chicken', and the fiery 'Gun fired Chicken'. The making for Gun fired Chicken on the coal fire was fun to watch. The flavorful Pepper Chicken comes with Kubboos, Mayonnaise, and some veggies. Though the Gunfire chicken had great flavors, the tenderness of Chicken was not up to my liking.

The next dish I tried was not on their menu yet but already popular with their regular customers - 'Shaadi ki Biriyani' which I would like to call Ammi's Biriyani. The Muslim wedding style biriyani tasted so delectable and it's one of the best I had in recent times. I tried Biriyani with Tandoori Prawns. They are having a Seafood festival till the end of February. The beautiful charred flavors from the grilled items were bang on.

I also tried their Kizhi Porotta and I know there are so many fans for this humble dish packed with flavors. Kizhi is nothing but a parcel; banana leaf layered with Porotta and Chicken masala wrapped in the shape of Kizhi/pouch will be grilled/steamed before serving it hot. Once the kizhi is open, the air will be filled with fresh aromas.

I enjoyed a glass of Arabian pulpy Grape juice along with smokey grilled food. They have a separate section for desserts and fresh juices. Post lockdown I am very addicted to Falooda. The layered goodness has 3 varieties of ice creams, flavored vermicelli, soaked basil seeds, dry fruits and nuts, tutti fruity, and fruit syrups; isn't enough for one to fall in love with this frozen dessert?

I really enjoyed the dishes I tried at Coalspark and already planning to order from them soon. Do try the dishes I mentioned and it will be a treat and don't miss the Shaadi ki Biryani...

Coalspark! Fantastic food for the go here mate. So, we have tried the Non Veg Barbecue platter, special kebabs and a beautiful Kizhi Parotta.

The jumbo Non Veg BBQ platter comes Barbecue is huge! Here you have Fish Tikka: A perfectly marinated fish with Amritsari flavours and slight turmeric notes. Prawn Tikka: I wish they had more of this, prawns were perfectly cooked on the hibachi with a fantastic marinade of spice blends Chicken Banjara: The red chillies are mainly found here which is brilliantly affixed to the juicy chicken. Chicken Tikka: We ahd three types of Chicken Tikka: Normal, Haryali, Malai; Each amazing in it's flavour Mutton and Chicken Sheekh: The Mutton Sheekh is for me anyday Tangdi Kebab: The drumsticks are fantastic, juicy and Pepper BBQ: As the name says this hits the brief and perfectly balanced. Afgani Tikka: The not so spicy tikka The meat was perfectly grilled, marinated fine and definitely something one cannot miss. If you are in a group, this is the one to order The signature chicken kebab is for if you are alone or less people. Boneless chicken, very well prepared on a hibachi.

Kizhi Parotta is one of a kind here! Everything is prepared fresh when you order. Parotta is freshly made. Chicken 65 is tempered with curry leaves, onions in a wok with a huge wokhhay. Then, salna is added and cooked with coconut milk and in house masalas and spices. On a banana leaf, this is spread and layered with the freshly made gravy, sealed and steamed on a tawa. This infused the flavour of Banana leaf, gives out a frsh beautiful aroma, the coconut milk gives a balancing note along with the spice gone inside. Have it with a smoked green chilli, this takes you to...

COAL SPARK....a Restaurant located in HSR layout, easily identifiable with simple and decent ambience....Not too big or too small...a nice place for family or friends to eat at economical rates. Best North Indian Food at affordable price ... impressed with a variety of Grills and Tandoor items.

Well sanitized and the staff were wearing masks and gloves all the time. Courteous and friendly staff. Prompt Service. The pricing comes with a feather on the cap. The restaurant owner Mr. Mudasar is super friendly, attentive and takes care of the customers personally. The good thing is that they suggest the best food for your tongue as ua taste buds need to have.. Feels amazing.

The Tandoori Platter and BBQ platters with their green chutney are a MUST try and they offer a whole array of varieties. Veg Kizhi Paratha is quite unique and tasted MAJEDAAR.Desserts and drinks are pleasing to palate.
