Had the most amazing brunch and a great time at the newly launched Gatsby pub at Bannerghatta Road! Ambience ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Service ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Food ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Drinks⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The first thing that catches your attention when you get down at Gatsby is the grandness of the structure. Painted in black and gold, the exterior is just phenomenal! And once you enter the place, it would surely awe you with the magnanimous interiors and extremely tasteful decor. This is hands down the most beautifully done place I have seen in quiet sone time. They have seating areas at 3 levels with the seating capacity of around 375 guests. They have two full fledged bars and one gin garden and the most amazing collection of all obols, from gin to wine to vodka.
What really sets this place apart is the passion everyone puts here; from hospitality to service to bartending, each an everything is just excellent here!
Cocktails Musky Mule ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Selfie Compatible ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Whiskey Sour ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Smoked Old JD ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We went for brunch on a moderately crowded Saturday afternoon. First we ordered ourselves two vodka based cocktails, the Musky Mule, served in a beautiful copper tumbled and the Pastel peach Selfie Compatible. The Musky Mule was extremely refreshing with pieces of melon and ginger garnishing the drink while the Selfie Compatible was served with cavier! We also ordered two Whiskey based cocktails, Smoked Old JD and Whiskey Sour both of which tasted amazing.
Starters Dimsums ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Bao ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Raw Mango Salad ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Momos ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Stuffed Paneer ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Stuffed Mushrooms ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Chicken Tikka ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Pork belly ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The Thai delicacies on the menu are all extremely tasty! I became a big fan of the raw mango salad served with roasted cashews! It was my absolute favourite! I liked the bao and the dimsums as well. From the tandoor items, the stuffed mushrooms were hands down my most favourite item! Creamy in texture, they melted in the mouth!
Main course and dessert Pad Thai noodles ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Baked blueberry cheesecake ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The Pad Thai noodles were loaded with well marinated tofu and chicken and cooked to perfection with the classic peanut based tamarind sauce. Coupled with lime, it just tasted amazing! The cheesecake was rich and creamy in texture and the blueberry sauce had the right balance of sweet and tangy giving the dessert a wholesome taste and texture!
I would highly recommend this place and I myself can’t wait to go back here again. Cheers to...
Read moreThis is a place that Scott Fitzgerald himself would love to visit. Situated on Bannerghatta main road, this place with all its glory and lighting is impossible to miss. Enter the second floor and you'll see a huge dining area. My friends and I visited for dinner so the place had low lighting and tables were lit dimly by candles. You could look up and see the walls bleeding into the clear night sky. It was an amazing vibe to dine under a clear night sky. The two storey bar is the highlight of this place. Do note that there's a strict dresscode of formals and shoes (if I'm correct) on the weekends. I'd definitely rate the ambience a 5/5.
Coming down to the main reason for rating this place: the food. We had ordered fries and crispy corn and though these are simple dishes to make, they were the best I've had so far. We ordered a paneer pizza and honestly, it was the best pizza I've ever had till date. Period! It was so cheesy and soft and it melted the second you took a bite off a slice. The paneer and base were very soft. Highly recommended. The desserts were amazing too. The tres leches and chocolate bomb were amazing desserts. We had a happy birthday request along with the chocolate bomb and the caramel inside the bomb was well.....bomb! The tres leches was soft, creamy and spongy too. I'd definitely rate food a solid 5/5 as well. Coming to the drinks, we had ordered a bunch of mocktails that were very refreshing to drink and an LIIT that was made perfectly and blue kamikaze shots. I'd rate drinks a 4.5/5. And about 4/5 about the pricing.
The service was pretty fast (we went here on a Tuesday evening) given that most of the items we had ordered, except pizzas were all starters. The staff were very polite in bringing food and clearing our messy table too. The DJ entertained the crowd with his mixes ranging from old and new Bollywood hits and English hits. Though the candlelight dinner vibe calls for slow music this was very different and energizing. I'd rate service a solid 5/5.
Though the items were on the pricey side, especially the drinks, I'd definitely recommend giving this place a try once for the ambience and experience you'll have. You might keep returning back if you love the music, the atmosphere and the way they...
Read moreI was hearing a lot of positive things about this place and so finally visited here on a weekend afternoon with some friends. To say that it looks majestic is an understatement. The ambiance is simply astounding and one of the finest in the city. Gives a royal 90s feel and I was completely awestruck by it.
Coming to the food and drinks, we tried a lot of items and most of them hit the mark pretty well. They have an in house ace mixologist, Manoj , who makes some pretty neat cocktails. There is a twist given to a lot of classic cocktails that has elevated them to another level. Some of the drinks I would recommend are LIIT, royal dynasty and between the sheets. I would also recommend to give your preferences first and enjoy something that would best suit individual palate.
In food we tried raw mango salad, mushroom baos, an assortment of dumplings like spinach and corn, prawn hargow, schezwan chilly chicken and avocado and cream cheese sushi. In mains we went for Thai green curry with rice and Pad Thai. All the preparations were really nicely done but I will give a special shoutout to the mango salad, schezwan chilly dumplings and Pad Thai. They should not be missed.
Finished off the meal with Manhattan cheesecake and tiramisu. The tiramisu was simply brilliant. I could not stop eating it. Another really popular dessert here is the orange and chocolate cake which we could not try out this time. Thats an excellent motivation to visit again.
Do take out some time and visit with your family and friends. This experience should not be missed. Absolutely and highly...
