Black brick cafe, located in one of the iconic colonial buildings in the heart of the city, is a beautiful creation of modern architecture with classic ambience. The colours used on the walls and that of the sofas and chairs, adds to the mood of the cafe. The full wall graffiti, quirky wooden quotes, the basket lights and the accessories used to decorate the place all help to build up a classy soothing ambience. Definitely I should mention that they play great music, which is a very important aspect in any cafe.
✓Starters °Cheese shroomy bruschetta - BBC fresh pesto on the toasted bruschetta, topped with creamy sauteed mushrooms and cheese blend. Loved this one specially because it didn't get soggy. °Prawns - Crispy light battered prawns tossed in butter garlic sauce. Delicious and recommended if you're looking for a good starter. °Sesame chilli chicken - A little different from the usual tangra chilli chicken. Succulent pieces of marinated chicken tossed in chilli oil and sesame seeds. °Tirhati Bazar Momos non veg - Old school juicy chicken momos served with spicy momo sauce.
✓Mains °Truffle mushroom pasta - Using truffle oil in food insensitive since it makes the food bitter. However, the penne pasta with charred ragu mushroom and truffle butter was extremely well prepared. The taste was sublime!! #highlyrecommended °Black Brick monster - A chicken haven pizza!! Chicken sausage, chicken salami, grilled chicken, chicken tikka, caramalised onions, fried garlic, chilli flakes and fresh basil topped on a thin crust. Love it! °BB piri piri chicken burger - Char grilled peri peri chicken, balsamic glazed honey onions, peri peri mayo and gherkins between the burger buns are delectable. The burger is served with onion rings, peri peri fries, mayo and coleslaw. °Gondhoraj sizzler - Had a good sizzler after a really long time. Grilled fish tossed with gondhoraj lemon, butter, garlic and red chilli flakes, accompanied with herbed rice, creamy potatoes, grilled vegetables and garlic bread. It is wholesome and sharable in portion. °Italian job - A lovely Italian sizzler. Exotic vegetables tossed in Italian herbs on a bed of spaghetti arrabiata with garlic bread and creamy diced potatoes. A perfect choice for the vegetarians! °Chilli garlic noodles - The noodles are well flavoured and tossed. This is my all time favourite! °Sliced chicken chilli oyster sauce - This has both my picks, mushroom and chicken in oyester sauce. This complimented the noodles very well.

Among summer chilling coolers kiwi spring blast is a kiwi based mocktail with kiwi base. For kiwi lovers it can be the best choice.

All the foods they served was great in taste but I would like to mention their Italian dishes like both the veg and non veg pizzas that was top notch. And among starters I loved their Gandhoraj Fish finger. it was my favourite dish of that particular day. The fish was very well cooked and the coating was crispy enough.Overall it was great in taste. Bruschetta was also there in the list and it was also very good and cheesy.Both the sizzlers were very well cooked, nicely decorated and tasty.
All the desserts were amazing in taste. Among all the molten mud pie was the best. Rest of the desserts were basically ice creams with unique flavours. Portion was absolutely perfect, enough for a person. In summer days nothing can be more perfect than some amazing cool desserts.
The hookah was a big attraction on that day. The huge size and the preparation ! Kudos to the person who prepared this for us! We took teen paan flavour and it was like teen paan flavour only! XD
