The staff will ensure you a great experience. The music played was rock and roll and is ideal complimenting the ambience. A huge bar setup as you enter through a humungous wooden entrance is a visual treat. The way it was setup so beautifully well is worth appreciating. Here is what I had:

✨Appetizers✨

Avocado Bruschetta - A healthy appetizer that will surely lift your mood up. The avocados are blended well and seasoned with mild seasonings. Topped with fresh cream cheese on a toasted bread. The bread was toasted till they are nice and crispy. While the avocados are blended till they form a smooth mix. The consistency was thick and was spread evenly all over the toast. Further topped with cherry tomatoes, it adds that tangy twist to the mix. The flavour from avocados was prominent and the seasonings did not overpower the overall appetizer, which I liked the most. Highly Recommended 🤘🏻

Mushroom Cheese Burst - Mushrooms are love! Those who love mushrooms, should for sure try this. The wild mushrooms are diced and blended with spices. They are then rolled like small sized kebabs and stuffed with cheddar and parmesan. They are them deep fried till the outer crust is golden brown and crisp. While the inner portion oozes cheese as you take the first bite of it. The overall combination of mushrooms, spices and cheese was delectable and worth remembering for long . It was topped with a spicy thick sauce while at the bottom it was placed on a rich and creamy sweet sauce. The mix of different sauces was interesting. Have it hot or you may not experience those burst of various flavours. Highly Recommended 🤘🏻

✨Mains✨

1522 Super Green Pizza - Have always been a huge fan of Wood Fired Pizzas. The reason is clear, the smoky flavour that it gets is absolutely unique. The dove is freshly prepared and loaded with veggies like broccoli, spinach and sun-dried tomatoes. To add value to the pizza, they had added a bit of lemon juice and garlic. The base sauce was mildly spiced while generous amount of parmesan and mozzarella cheese was added to the Pizza. It is then put in a special clay oven which is heated by burning wood logs. The temperature is monitored and controlled. The pizza is placed inside and baked till the base is crisp. The moment you have the first bite, you can taste that smoky flavour. The toppings were cooked to the perfection while the cheese melted all over. Further topped with olive oil, it was a complete delicacy. A visual delight and was quite flavourful. Highly Recommended 🤘🏻

Patile Wale Chole with Kulcha - Never ever loved chole kulcha so much. The kulchas made were generously stuffed with a spicy potato mix. It had a perfect golden brown outer layer. The masalas used in making the stuffing were so well balanced. On the other hand the chole had a thick consistency. The aromatic spices blended with chickpeas, together made an amazing combination. The chole was spicy enough to tickle my taste buds. Butter on the top of Kulcha made it rich and delicious. Highly Highly Recommended 🤘🏻

✨Dessert✨

Keto Choco Fudge - A chocolate delight done well. What grabbed my attention was it being a low calorie dessert. The chocolate fudge was super...

DECOR & AMBIENCE

The moment you enter 1522 you’ll love the vibe of this place. The lower deck offers an enclosed and open area whereas you can climb up the stairs & enjoy rooftop experience on the upper deck. The place has a cool vibe with decent crowd enjoying some live music or sports screening. It’s more happening but noisier.

The stairway to the upper deck is beautifully lit up and offers a great spot for Selfies & group pictures. The Upper deck is open, chilled out with ample seating space offering a swanky bar right in the centre with music speakers on either side. It’s more chilled out & peaceful compared to lower deck.

FOOD & DRINKS

Veg Platter An assorted platter comprising of broccoli, cottage cheese, Baby corn, mushroom & cauliflower.

Cheese Chilli Kulcha I loved the cheese stuffing inside piping hot Kulcha which were so soft along with chilli pieces embedded in between. This made it mild & spicy at the same time. Mind you it turned out spicy at the end which I loved but my partner 😊couldn’t enjoy thoroughly 🥵

Our Starters were different from one another, tasted delicious but turned out pretty heavy IMO.

Verdure Pizza 🍕 The sight of a 10 Inch Wood Fire Pizza approaching is drool worthy 🤤 for me.

A Verdure pizza is a traditional style Italian pizza which doesn’t offer heavy/ too many toppings & uses limited amount of cheese which keeps the pizza light & tasty without going overboard with ingredients.

Our Veg Verdure pizza had broccoli, mushroom, paneer, onion & yellow pepper.

Bourne Identity A bourbon based cocktail made with fresh watermelon, vanilla & loads of ice 🧊

Paris Summer A non alcoholic drink made with wine grape juice, berry & tea soda with refreshing lavender cordial for final effect.

A big thank you to our table supervisor Mr Andrew for his warm hospitality. He suggested a few items, offered quick serve & was very well rehearsed with the menu which was good to see.
