Pocket Friendly Hangout Place for Buddies - 3B's (Buddies Bar Barbecue), BTM Layout

Bengaluru has many diversified food culture… Many restaurants wants to set themselves apart by creating unique ambiance and experiences to the customer. The newly opened 3Bs (Buddies-Bar-Barbecue) at BTM is all set to provide an awesome experience to the crowd with its unbelievable offers.

About 3Bs, BTM Layout:
This restaurant is located on the 5th Floor above Absolute Barbeque (ABs) near Jayadeva Flyover. Its bit difficult to recognize from the road as it doesn’t has a prominent signboard outside. So, look for ABs sign board instead of 3Bs.

Ambience


Though its a rooftop restaurant, you won’t get that open space feel as they have covered whole floor with permanent canopy. I wish they left some space for outdoor seating! Nevertheless, the whole ambience is crafted wonderfully. The theme of the whole floor is kind of discipline. Different areas of the restaurant has different intensity of lighting, there are various seating option available which can suit for almost all crowds. They also have a pool table and mini soccer table to keep you entertained! Overall it provides a cozy & comfortable atmosphere.

Service

It's just excellent! We were attended by 4 stewards during our visit, it usually gets difficult to serve precisely when you have both Veg & Non-veg customers in a same crowd. But, they managed it so well that we vegetarians had our dinner session worry free! Each and every staff is very professional and even friendly. I’m sure you will end up asking their name in order to appreciate their incredible hospitality.

Food & Drinks

They have a fixed lavish menu and they have concentrated to cover many cuisine in their menu. Though they state “Barbeque” in their name, there is no live barbeque counter or barbeque pit in your table. They serve barbeque to your plates directly from the kitchen. They have a good collection of liquor and the best part is they offer it in MRP. Yes! You heard it right, whether it's beer or champagne you can order it with more delight.

Our dining experience was amazing, they have given equal priority to both veg and non veg in their menu which makes this place an ideal one for the group outing. We were cordially welcomed with the beautiful mocktail. Starters had 5 vegetarian option they are perfect to start your evening;




Abadi Paneer Tikka: The first dish served to our table failed to make an impression. It was quite bland and the masala used on it was uneven. I can say it was just average.





Crispy Corn: Definitely star of the evening. I really don’t remember how many plates of crispy corn I consumed that evening. It was crafted so perfect with right amount of spice, tossed accurately for crispiness and it's tempting presentation! It was perfect combination for the drinks. If there is any reason that I want to visit this restaurant at least once in a month, it would be “Crispy Corn”





American Cheese Potato: I call it as mixture of temptation. Who doesn’t love Cheese and Potato…? When you serve both elements together with a perfect blend of spice it becomes an ultimate satisfactory tool. It was really great!







Spider Roll: Its name is so attractive that we eagerly waited for its arrival in order to see its presentation. And to our huge expectation it didn’t really disappointed. Its fried potato dipped in a spicy red sauce and served with crispy fried noodles. It tasted too good with those fried noodles.





They have 2 options for both non veg and veg main course. It might sound like insufficient, but believe me after going through such great starters you will have very little space in your tummy. Naan and Rotis they served with the main course were soft, good and blended well with the curries.

3B’s Special Dal : Yes! Its “special” indeed. It was the most loved dish by everyone and whynot, this dish has been cooked so perfectly that everyone didn’t bothered about looking for other main course dishes in the menu. The black dal used in it was thoroughly flamed and the spice level was just right. Overall taste was wonderful.

Lahori Paneer Tikka : After tasting 3B’s Special Dal, Lahori Paneer Tikka didn’t appealed much to our taste buds. However the ingredients used in it seemed to be of right but spice level was too low. Paneer used it was standard soft.




Veg Biriyani: When it comes to Veg Biriyani, they need to improve a lot. It appeared to be overcooked in some bites and lack of vegetables was another factor. In my views they need to approach entirely new way to prepare this dish. However, I would like to rate this dish above average.




Desserts


Climax of your dinner will be as good as the intro. Because they have a great array of desserts in the row. Some of them are innovative and some are just common. But I’m sure that desserts collection of 3B’s will give a great ending to your dining experience. I wanted to taste each and every desserts, but I was already full by starters and main course. But still I tried some of them,

Ice Creams: They have some unique flavours; Chilli Ice cream was mixture of both soft & extreme sides of the flavor and it offers a great exercise to your taste buds. You can also dare your friends to have this ice cream. I’m glad that I tried this flavour. Another Ice Cream which grabbed almost everyone's attention was Paan fusion Ice Cream. It was the mixture of Vanilla, Pista, Gulkhand and Pan flavours. It gave exact taste of Paan in a different fashion. You can also top your serving with the desired dry fruits and assorted toppings which will add more taste.

Gulab Jamun : Small in size but great in taste. Though it was not hot, it tasted great. Children will surely like this version of Jamun.

Other than above desserts they also had Phirni, Chocolate Pastry and Fresh Cut Fruits which tempted me more but couldn’t able to have. Will try them for sure on my next visit.


EVERYTHING ELSE: Beside being economic this restaurant offers a great experience. It has valet parking facility and moderate space for two wheeler parking. Hygiene has been maintained well all over the restaurant and in restrooms. Music is not that great, they switch between retro, intensive bollywood songs with some patho songs too which really disrupts the mood. While I was there I witnessed three birthday parties and it was celebrated by whole staffs. They make a great memories too.

FINAL VERDICT: I can say its an economic version of ABs. Wonderful service, comfortable ambience, good food and drinks at great price. There is no such a great combination in Bengaluru. You can reserve your seat here for this weekend.
