Brick House Bistro has been one place I've always wanted to visit but never got a chance with the distance being one of the major factors having been placed in the other neck of the woods in Annanagar. On hearing about their presence closer to home at Alwarpet, I was delighted and lapped up the opportunity to try it out at the earliest.
It's located bang in the middle of Eldams road and situated in a small passerby lane adjacent to McRennett. The place is pretty small with just about 4 tables. The color yellow and grey with bricked wallpaper walls virtually engulf the surroundings. The billing counter cabin has a few comic strips and there is a television set. It feels a perfect place where you can even come alone to grab a quick bite.
The blackened menu with items described in color and the cool icons to highlight the signature variants are quirky. They have starters, hot dogs, wings, burgers, italian, sandwiches, sides, milkshakes and coolers.
We were 2 of us and placed order for the following:
1) Cheesy Gooey Fries - Having heard so much of their jaw dropping fries, this item was the first mention on my lips. And boy, did it live upto expectations. A cheesy lover will simply gorge over this as the fries come with insane levels of melted cheese making you drool with excitement. Simply not for the weight conscious. It looks invigorating and tastes lip smacking. The overload of cheese in abundance at the top somewhat alienates the fries at the bottom which feels a little let down. But overall, no real complaints. This one is unique and one of a kind and you will have a ball squishing and joyfully putting them across your mouth.
2) Bruschetta with Tomato and Olives - This was another winner. There were 5 small pieces with a plethora of tomatoes and olives infused with a layer of coated cheese. It was filling and very much worth for it's price which was a shade under 100.
3) Mushroom and Onion Sandwich - The bread were stuffed to the rafters and tasted delicious. It was juicy and packed judiciously with a bunch of mushrooms and was totally top notch. They also came along with sufficient fries for company.
4) Paneer Burger - Burgers are one such food item where I wouldn't mind if they end up being junky, messy and clumsy. And it was exactly as I envisaged. It was a thrill biting across those big sized buns which were meaty and creamy on the inside and it was fun getting the hands dirty. The inside portion was fantastic, however the buns need some amelioration. They didn't seem to be baked properly, but the overall product covered the looseness of the bread.
5) Cold Coffee - Just like how you would expect it. Came in a tall glass and was refreshing. A decent way to end a heavy meal.
All of the above costed 720 bucks inclusive of taxes. The service was quick, the only grouse however was that all the items came at the same time which was a bit of a hassle. Also it was a little surprising to see the sandwiches come in with so many fries but nothing at all came along with the burger.
Irrespective of the minor quips, there is a lot of positives going on for BHB and despite the space constraints, this one looks like being a big hit. Brick house Bistro is certainly a great addition to this stretch of the horizon at Alwarpet. Go, grab your burger and have a ball.
