One about-to-rain Bangalore night, despite the comments that we shouldn’t go there only for the food, we took a leap of faith, and landed up at this cafe in Indiranagar. You’re bound to miss it if you don’t know exactly where it is, so check the map in the link. It’s a house converted into a cafe and the ground floor is devoted to the library/reading rooms. Up a winding staircase and we got to a balcony where we managed to get a table for two. There are other seating options inside as well. You’ll love the ambiance if you’re into comics. Bright, colourful murals and comfortable furniture. What works for the balcony is that it also offers non-comic entertainment, thanks to a bar across the road! From the menu, I asked for a Nutella Banana shake and D wanted a Peppermint Hot chocolate. (day’s special, said the board) The shake was more banana than Nutella, and despite me specifically asking for no ice cubes, I got them in abundance. The hot chocolate was much better!
We also asked for a Southern American beef. The beef was medium towards rare, and the cheese managed to add a bit of flavour to the proceedings. For the main course, I ordered a Beef and Bacon Bolognese, and D wanted a Roasted Chicken Marinara. The sauces, despite the ‘extra’ descriptions on the menu turned out to be twins. The volume was sufficient enough to make us mull over desserts, but the staff made the decision for us! There was no one around to take an order for about 20 minutes after we finished the main course, so the moment we saw a person, we asked for the bill.
The meal cost us about Rs.1450, and I am forced to agree that you shouldn’t come here only for the food. Maybe a breakfast and comics version will be a better bet. (A conversation on Instagram later indicates that they are aware of the problems and on their way to resolving them)
