Bindaas Rasoi is a hidden wonder. The place is shrouded in a quite bye lane in the no man's land of Shollinganalur and is perched in a house which has been converted to a restaurant. The interiors are done up wonderfully well and the place glistens with shades of color. The chiaroscuro of the modern touch and vintage local flavor is underplayed beautifully. Some of us were apprehensive about travelling all the way to another breadth of the city but all our confusions were put to rest seeing the wondrous ambiance and laying our mouths onto the amazing food on display.
Our ravenous foray got underway with an Aam Paana served to us as a welcome drink. After that the business got underway with the expectant soups. We got to taste a mushroom version and a tomato shorba and both were delightful in their own way and thoroughly enjoyed by all of us. Next came the platter of starters consisting of a plethora of delicacies. Amongst them, the Multani panneer slices and the Dahi Kabab were truly delectable. The sheekh and hara bara kabab were the usual fare but the stuffed mushrooms and tandoori brocolli were good add-on's and elevated the starter fest served a notch higher.
For main course, we had a bucketful of Indian breads which were done up exceedingly well. Some were fluffy like how they should be and others were soluble and soft. The cheese naan especially nailed it in being absolutely rivetting and could just be had standalone as it was so yummylicious on taste. For the curries we went with a Paneer tikka lababdar where the pieces of panneer were succulent and nicely cooked in a reddish gravy and for Dal, we went a little different by going with the Paanwala Dal, the usual yellowish flavored dal with a tinge of paan which felt invigorating. As we felt the curries were a little less for the bread, as a last gap measure ordered for an Achari Aloo and boy this one rocked big time. It ticked the box on every angle - looks, feel and taste. For rice we had the Banarasi Pulao which had a greenish tinge to it as it was cooked with peas in abundance but it somehow didn't appease our taste buds. We had a bunch of desserts to end our sojourn of which I tasted just a tad and found them to be nice whether be it the Chocolate gulab jamun, Ras Malai, Gajar Halwa or Malai Phirni. In between our meals, we also had the Thandai and Banana coconutty Lassi both of which won the brownie points.
Overall, it was a delightful experience. The service was prompt and they were welcoming in adhering to our requests by even tweaking some of their stuff to bring in the best for us. As we were on an invite, pricing goes out of the window but on a cursory glance of the prices and considering the sumptuous delicacies offered and the shiz ambiance definitely feels reasonable.
This place deserves publicity and I wish the corporates situated within this vicinity look at this place with seriousness because it has all the requisite factors to impress. I am personally happy that I went all the way to experience the essence of Bindaas Rasoi. True to it's name, this place is Bindaas. Highly recommended!.
