Our intense contempt for Sarjapur Road’s microbreweries is well documented – Vapour<\/a> and Hoot<\/a> being the catalysts. Aurum<\/a> pulled it back a little, and that’s why, despite my instincts, we decided to make our way to La Casa. Actually, a little more than instincts. Around 8 years ago, I’d visited the place with my colleagues. Some of us, who loved\u00a0Khow Suey, persuaded a colleague to try it. Unfortunately, La Casa massacred the dish. Said colleague, to his credit, continues to be a good friend, or is maybe planning a cold revenge.<\/p>\n

The signs were ominous. Google Maps showed us an early turn to get off Sarjapur Road, to save 5 mins. That turned out to be literally an off-roading experience along unpaved roads that had garbage and pigs featuring prominently in the landscape.\u00a0 The restaurant itself is reasonably well done, and somehow manages to keep out the chaos of the road. Since only a few tables were occupied when we arrived and we were told we could sit wherever we wanted, we chose a 4-seater in the corner. Along with the menu, we also got a request to shift to a 2 seater “because Saturday night”. Unnecessary, we felt because there were no less than seven 4-seaters vacant. We pointed that out to him with the promise that we would shift if those got occupied. As predicted, didn’t happen.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Craft beer was the sole reason for the trip. From the five that were available, we chose the Saison and the Belgian Wit. Completely lacking in spirit (not literally), they offered a perfect prelude to the meh that followed. In fact, the original plan was to use Zomato Gold for a 1+1 on drinks, but such was the quality of beer that we skipped that. Imagine!<\/p>\n

Bamboo pork was the first dish we asked for, and were told that it would be spicy. Predictably, it wasn’t. Spicy Dunken partially lived up to its name – the preparation was basic Chinese fare. We had lost the appetite we came with, and hoped to salvage some of it with a Kerala Style Irachi fry. On hindsight, a dumb decision. Whoever made it clearly hadn’t tasted the dish before.<\/p>\n

Dessert was fun. The only interesting dish seemed to be a Chocolate Opera. We casually asked what it was, and panic seemed to set in. In the third attempt, we figured out that it was a pastry. Since we’d had enough drama, we skipped.<\/p>\n

The bill came to a little over Rs.1400. I shall leave it there with no more comments.<\/p>\n

Against all instincts, we made the trip to Sarjapur Road in the hope that we’d find some good craft beer. We ended up not using the “2+2 on drinks” Zomato Gold offer. That should provide enough insight into the quality of beer, the food was equally down there!
