They have superb spread of signature cocktails, basic, classic, in-house created, dessert cocktails and so much more to try. There is huge collection of bottles well displayed on wooden wall. Dessert cocktails are a must try – potent, not very sweet and delightful.
There is variety of starters. Paneer popcorn were crispy from outside and soft from inside with good dips to go with. Hummus platter was a loaded platter with pitta bread, hummus, baba ganoush, chips and other dips. All fresh and well plated – quite fulfilling.
They also have pizzas and pastas for mains. We had four cheese pizza – it was loaded with cheese and baked to perfection.
It is a lovely place to party or spend a lazy-cozy long afternoon.
Speakeasies received their name as patrons were often told to “speak easy” about these secret bars in public. As the concept would go, this place is tucked in an ordinary looking compound, for people to keep guessing the entrance.
We visited here last weekend and had a good time exploring the brilliantly concocted cocktails and some flavorful bar bites. Not to forget the mains were amazing too.
We tried the Old Fashioned Whisky Sours with Orange and Berry mixes, Gin based smoky cocktail Musky Mouth with a flamed Rosemary touch to it. And an amazing Le Tiramisu cocktail, made with Coffee Liqueurs and some Chocolate Sauce, which is perfect for people who want to end it on a sweet note. What better way to remain high!
They also serve Yavasura Craft beers in 4 variants, we got to try 2 of the and they were light and airy. Liked Witbier the most.
In the starters or sides, we had Paneer Popcorn, Veg Nachos, Chilli Cheese Toast, Spanish Potatoes and Mushroom Crossitini. All these dishes were simply superb, Paneer Popcorn and Chilli Cheese Toasts being my favorites. My friends loved the Mushroom Crossitini too, which had tender texture and breads topped with cream of mushroom.
For the mains, we decided to try out Spaghetti Aglio e Olio and Four Cheese Pizza and these were both delicious. The pizza was super thin crust, had a delicious smoky/grilled flavor to it.
About the ambience, it kept us hooked since the moment we entered. The best part was the warm lighting done across the ceiling using lamps in shape of atomic chemical structures, which were over the Bar and other seating areas too.
Overall, it was a classic weekend experience with perfect vibes, music, food and cocktails.
This is the new place where you will go and will keep going.
Place has an aesthetic ambience and a lovely decor.
Lighting decor is on fleek.. just too good and too pretty for the setup.
Lets talk about food.. i tried the walnut and green salad and it was fresh from the garden, the amount of dressing was perfect and this was the best thing to start the meal.
Then i had the chicken wings which had the spicy sauce on the top of it and wings were tender.
Tried their chicken strips which was topped with juliens of green apple and the combination was yum. Also had the seafood fritters which was served with garlic aioli and trust me it was the best.
In dessert i tried passion fruit panna cotta and this was so so so good that i had to order another one.
Their bar has never ending options, froms shots, shooters, hard liquor, crafted beers to signature cocktails.. you will be mesmerized
The decor is super classy and minimal. I loved the tiger paintings, they might look like photographs, but these are hand-painted arts. The lights are so pretty, you will surely be attracted by them. They have comfortable and nicely spaced-out seating. Their bar is big enough to hold all your favorites. The servers here are very professional and quick at their work.
I mentioned the bar how can I miss the cocktails?
Whiskey Sour
Oh My My! The best Whiskey Sour I have tried in recent times. The beautiful aroma and taste of cinnamon was just perfect. I was sold with the first sip itself.
Sultry Single ( their version of Old Fashioned )
Another beautiful creation, balanced taste with good potency, make this one crowd favorite. This classic preparation was just bang-on!
Negroni
One more perfect classic from the mixology masters. This Italian preparation is one of my favorites, and they have set my standards pretty high now.
After the drinks, let's get to some culinary magic.
Mutton Kheema Toast
A perfect bar bite, succulent mutton kheema placed on a small bite-sized well-toased bread. Kheema was perfectly spiced and I just couldn't stop at one piece.
Nachos with Braised Pork
Crispy nachos with cheese sauce and salsa, tasty munch to go with your drinks.
Beef tacos
Mind Blowing!! Meat marinated with love, cooked to perfection, and served with care, this is how I would express my feelings towards these beef tacos. If you visit Blind Tiger this is a must-try dish.
Panko Fried Chicken Strips
If you like panko this is your dish! Tender chicken coated with crispy panko and marinated with delicious spices makes this dish a perfect preparation.
Four Cheese Pizza & Truffle Oil
How do you make four cheese pizzas more exotic? Add truffle oil to it!! A generous amount of cheese on a thin crust base and drizzled with truffle oil will make you drool for sure!
Vanilla and Passion Fruit Panna Cotta
Jiggle Jiggle - Wiggle Wiggle! A perfectly set panna cotta with perfect sweetness helped me end my meal on a sweet note. I liked the consistency, it was super soft and creamy.
My entire experience at Blind Tiger was super exciting, they had a live performance that created a perfect chill vibe. I would recommend this place to everyone who wants to try something new and want to experience the best of hospitality.
I've never been short of good recommendations and @blindtiger_bar is one such place you should visit regularly.
The food is really good and the drinks too. The place has this mellow relaxed feel to it, perfect for catching up with your colleagues after work or friends over the weekend.
