Justbe by Nidhi Nahata — Restaurant in Bengaluru

I hadn’t been back to Just Be since their revamp, and I was so blown away by their new look, new menu, their service, everything!

I’ll break down each aspect of my visit there and give you some honest insight into the Just Be experience.

Ambience: 5/5

Probably one of THE MOST BEAUTIFUL restaurants in the city, with lovely interiors, reminiscent of a classy, countryside home, it felt homely and warm the second I crossed the threshold into its midsts. The charming book and game nooks, (all available for the patrons to read and play with), were an absolute delight and everything looked clean, well maintained and top notch.

Service: 5/5

The service was exceptional. The wait staff was friendly, accommodating and attentive and were keen to know what we thought of each dish. We didn’t feel overlooked or unattended to at any point.

Food: 5/5

The food has definitely improved, and while it was already pretty good before, it’s pretty great right now.

We had the Karmic Platter ~ which was an assortment of Middle Eastern and Mediterranean foods like Pita Bread, Hummus, Baba Ganoush, Marinated Olives and Lavash. This was by far our favourite dish of the lot, and we savoured every bite of it. It was a well rounded dish, with the creaminess of the hummus, being in perfect harmony with the smokiness of the Baba Ganoush and the lightness of the Olive salad and the wholesome texture of the Lavash and Pita tying everything together well.

Pizza Paparazzi ~ This was a delightfully quirky assortment of mini pizzas, served on light crackers. We loved each one of them, except for the sweet one, which seemed to be a combination of Banana and Chocolate. It was too sweet and the flavours seemed to counteract each other. The rest were absolutely heavenly, with the sundried tomato and onion one being the star of the dish.

Smoked Good Ol’ Mac & Cheese ~ I loved this homely, warm and rustic dish. It was very comforting. My only complaint with it would be that it lacked the titular smokiness it was supposed to have.

Crillon Pie ~ I wasn’t able to get a picture of this, because of how quickly we tucked into it. It had all the richness and indulgence of a non-vegan dessert, with the benefit of being Vegan. The crumbly Oreo base was in perfect harmony with the silky pie filling and there was a delicate harmony of flavours, with none of them overpowering the other. It wasn’t too sweet and really hit the spot! I really relished this one!

Final Rank: 5/5

I thoroughly enjoyed this visit to Just Be, and can’t wait to go back and try the other things...

A fooding experience with a elegant and a soulful touch. Freshness is the word that describes my fooding experience here. On my list for

Highly Recommended Crunchy Nachos 5SpiceTea Crillon Pie Refer pics for better understanding

+++Ambiance A large seating area with a variety to choose from. Indoor to the garden based atmosphere, they have all that a modern city cafe needs to offer.

+++Food

#HotPressedVada - Large is the portion size with 2 pieces of vada pao and freshly chopped salad. Served with potato wedges and a delicious dip. (Bread - purely gluten free whole wheat, please remember the bread served as packaged by several brands coined to be whole wheat are not 100% wheat). So, we should not compare on the softness. Remember all that glitters is not gold holds true here.

#5SpiceTea One of those few places that serves an organic and a chemical free version of tea. Purely refreshing. Jaggery substitutes the sugar.

#CrunchyNachos - In house made nachos chips. A couple of variety available. Topped with lots of fresh salad containing jalapeno and sweetcorn too. A variety of dip served. To my surprise the taste of the dip of very very smooth and yummy. Being a health freak on seeking information I was told the dip is made up of cashew, potato and carrots. I truly appreciate the team for the hard work in creating a substitute. You must definitely try this.

#SmokySquash A pumpkin based soup having seeds to add a good flavor. It had pumpkin seeds and sesame seed too. Portion size is large, could be easily shared by 2.

#CrillonPie Choco crust cake with chocolate topped. It melts on our taste buds to give us immense pleasure. Heavenly was the taste and you cannot miss this on their menu. Will not tell much as this has to be the dessert whenever you visit them.

+++Service Had a slight wait, as all the dishes are freshly prepared. No storage is done. So enjoy the freshly prepared food.

Looking for pure vegan oil free food, not just that but good ambiance and bang on tasty yummy food. Head to this cafe. Can say one of its kind in the country. They gave an organic store too. So pick the products available. Will soon elaborate on the organic store.
