Namma Bengaluru!
Here I am again the big travel buff and a crazy pub
hopper. What else can you expect in the pub capital of India? Nomads
like me flock to every nook and corner of the city to get a taste of the
lip smacking and finger licking food. Only this time I decided to do a
restaurant review on Urban- Solace Café-for-the-soul , Ulsoor. Trust me
on this, you can also avail the privileges of Zomato Gold Membership
here. So you better not dally . Not only that if you just walk in on
Wednesday, the place is bound to treat you with budding stand-up
comedians. The place is well renowned for the various events that are
routinely conducted like book readings, wine tasting and live amateur
music nights to name a few.
My closest pal from college invited me to this place quite a couple
of times during his poetry recitals. He is a big poet, you can very well
stalk him in Instagram @aromaofverses but alas I only ended up
disappointing him repeatedly. So, I thought it’s was high time I made it
up to him. It was my Big 25 and we chose Urban Solace over Gilly’s,
Mainland China, Hole in the Wall café, Boho, House of commons, in fact
the entire 5
th block in Koramangala. As far as my memory
goes, it was drizzling and we decided for the seat by the balcony
overlooking the Ulsoor lake. Our senses were already heightened by the
smell of the petrichor.
We eventually settled for the dining hall a level below the grand
balcony to savor our wine and delicious meal. The ambience and the
friendly working staff, along with the personalized service added to the
charm of the entire place. It’s a place where every soul would want to
be. In the labyrinth of books surrounded by bottles of wine and just
with the greatest pals of all time. You can savor an exhausting list of
wines and treat your eyes to books from every possible genre be it
thriller, romance, action, drama, fiction. Name it and it’s just there.
We started off our celebration with a 15-glass pitcher of Sangria and
since then the mere thought of it makes me salivate. This was followed
by a 4-course meal, yes you heard it right. A perfect blend of Indian
and continental cuisine. Mexican meat balls for starters followed by
most of our all-time favorite Pasta Alfredo, and last but not the least
an authentic Red Thai curry chicken garnished with basil.
Wait! what did you have for deserts?
Now unless I’m a victim of retrograde amnesia, I would say we did
have a brownie but I believe we were carried away by our never-ending
photoshoot.
If you are looking for a budget friendly dine-out option or an
exquisite grape escape, Urban Solace is just the right place to be. With
its refreshing décor and theme based rooms you are in for one gala
time. Special thanks to my friends for making my birthday so special. I
look forward to tasting Davidoff café Rich Aroma on my next visit to
this place!
Till then Bon Appetite!
