  • Nusa Tropical Brewvilla

    Nusa was all over our feeds for a brief while when it launched. Then it ratings crashed and finally some level of sanity prevailed after a few months. At which point, we decided to brave the Varthur traffic and make our way to the outskirts of our burb.

    Nusa does have the ‘dirty pond’ style that is now a diktat for all breweries, but is one of the more elegant ones. There are plenty of different seating options, and they have live music events happening quite a bit.

    Judging by the waiting crowds we see when we exit, it’s probably a good idea to reserve.

  • Toit Mahadevapura

    We’ve now made around three trips to Toit Mahadevapura, which we fondly call ‘our rural Toit’. The only problem we have encountered is Google/Uber maps showing a route through the tech park when coming from the Whitefield/ Varthur Road direction. The security guys won’t let you in, so do use the ORR entrance.

  • Baan Phad Thai

    Once all the FOMO rush had piped down, Baan Phad Thai proved to be fairly easy to reserve. Judging from the crowd, it’d be a good idea not to attempt a casual walk-in on weekend nights.

    Yep, we arrived early! The ambience somehow manages to be just the right amount of buzzy while retaining a calm even when the place is full. If there’s wood and wicker, I’m already sold!

  • Indian Craft Brewery

    Indian Craft Brewery is psychologically closer to the airport than home, so it made sense that we dropped in there for dinner on our way back from a vacation.

    As with most breweries, the place is huge, and the high ceilings add to the effect. I thankfully missed the mandatory artificial water body, but it does exist.

  • Cahoots

    On a rainy Saturday in October, we somehow got Cahoots almost to ourselves! So we can only wonder how bustling a fully occupied version might be. With different seating areas, and a classy decor approach, we really liked the ambience.
