A date with awesome cocktails - TILT, Koramangala, Bengaluru

TILT - A perfect name of the perfect place to start your weekend perfectly! Yes, if you are looking for place to start your weekend in style, then TILT should be definitely on your top 5 list in Koramangala. This place is driven by the people who are passionate about celebrating life and committed to provide a class apart experience to its customers. Here’s my experience about 44th FBAB meetup at TILT!

AMBIENCE: It literally looks like a den from outside, upon entering the TILT a beautiful luxury lounge which is completely opposite to Tilt’s outlook welcomes you. The lounge has been crafted nicely and it's a perfect place for family crowd. Once you pass the lounge you enter into the most happening place of Tilt - the Dance Floor. It's completely lit with the great flashing lights and the dance floor is exactly below the DJ space. Bar is located next to the dance floor making it more convenient to the party lovers. Another side of the dance floor hosts 4-5 tables. There are two dim lit mezzanine which is perfect for the couples and groups who love spending time with the music and drinks. There is big screen in the centre of Tilt which screens major sports event. The whole ambience will thrill you when the music starts pumping up..




SERVICE: They are too professional, right from welcoming you to the serving part they show a great professionalism. It looks like they have mended over time. Because each steward is well known about the menu. Whether it comes to food or drinks they will surely help you out in choosing the best. They are friendly and understand the guests requirement very well.





DRINKS

TILT is known for its master class cocktails. Each and every cocktails tasted different from the league. Some drinks might feel way too different in taste and texture compared to other trending cocktail bars in the town but it won’t take much time to realize that it's better than them all. Because the proportion they follow is precise and instead of using the packaged fruit flavors they use natural (kind of homemade) puree in their cocktails. Using natural fruit puree gives out a strong essence to the cocktails. If you just want to try entirely new trend in cocktails, then this is the place for you.

Some of the drinks which we enjoyed in our meetup are;


BAMBOLAEO: Ah! Indeed it was a great way to start my evening… First sip made me to feel like I’m at a beach enjoying sunset. This mocktail has been crafted so well that I ended up having one more. It was a great combination of fresh pineapple juice and coconut cream with some other fruit flavors. It was just awesome.

Summery Melon: This mocktail was smooth and straight! It was mixture of some popular fruits usually used in cocktails like water melon, apple, lime & of course cranberry. It was just the way it should be.







I’m Blue: Though the name reminds about the Avatar, it definitely feels like its from out of this world. Its a tequila based cocktail with many flavors flashing in the background. Pineapple & coconut flavors being the strong, it also hinted a little lime splash. It was a gentleman's drink indeed.





Jack went Crazy: Who doesn’t love Jack!! and we love him even more when he promises to drive us Crazzzzyy! Yes, it was the drink which was on high demand on that evening or I can say everyone went crazy about “Jack went Crazy”. This drink was amazing combination of homemade blackberry liqueur, blackberry puree with Jack Daniels. The proportion was maintained accurately at the beginning but at the end of the evening unfortunately it became light. Nevertheless people love every version of Jack :P





Cranberry and Mint lemonades: Taste of this vodka based cocktail was as good as its presentation. The true cranberry taste has been defined so well with fresh cranberries puree, lime & cranberry juice. Initially it was served with cranberry popsicle which really tempted me. But when I ordered it was served without popsicle as it was out of stock. However, it tasted too good.





Fruit of the Forest: A tropical cocktail full of flavours of various berries. Its Vodka based with generous portion of strawberry, raspberries, blackberry, fruit liqueur and lime soda. It tasted awesome like it has came straight from an angel’s hand. But, I felt like they have put too much ice which dilutes the taste too quickly.






Pornstar Martini: Yup! It was naughty, sexxy & Straight!!! It was a naked version of Martini as the texture Vodka was strong which was paired with passion fruit and vanilla gomme. Since I’m not use to such strong liquor textures I just tasted and didn’t dared to order one for me. But yes! I appreciate the one who found a perfect name for this drink.




FOOD

Honestly, being a vegetarian I was quite surprised and disappointed after seeing the menu which was specially made for our FBAB bloggers meetup. Except Golden Fried Babycorn in the starter nothing was there as veg on the menu. But, as soon as we informed the managers the chef swung into the action and delivered some of the tastiest veg delicacies in no time. I became a huge fan of the chef for crafting such awesome food with minimum preparation time and as per our specific requirement.



Golden Fried Babycorn: This was the only veg delicacy we initially had in menu. But, it tasted so good that I decided that I can survive the evening by having only this dish. It was perfectly fried and the strong garlic manchurian sauce served with it increased the taste even more. An unforgettable starter indeed.






Gobi Manchurian: Upon our request chef prepared this, the presentation was too good but it tasted just above average. Nevertheless we enjoyed it with the veg salad served with it.




Cottage Cheese Steak with Boiled Vegetables and Herb rice: An exclusive veggie version for main course which appeared like an art. It tasted even better than its presentation. The cottage cheese with pepper sauce was a fantastic combination. Cottage cheese was super soft and use to get slice just upon placing the knife. On the other hand herb rice was nice and boiled veggies served with it was perfect. Being spicy lover i just wish a pinch of pepper would have turned herb rice more desirable.





Red Sauce Pasta: One of the common main course which helps you to fill small gaps in your tummy. It tasted good and the ingredients were in right proportion with the spice level being just perfect.






Desserts: After such great experience with starters and main course we had a  great expectation towards desserts, but it was a great let down. They served tiramisu & apple pie as desserts. Tiramisu didn’t tasted like tiramisu and apple pie was too hard and had trace of light sourness. They need to improve a lot when it comes to the dessert section.



EXPERIENCE

A warm welcome from the staffs gave a hint that the evening will be memorable. Though we started the evening in a lame manor, as the time passed, drinks served and people joined for the conversation it started to become more lively. By the time we were served with main course music started to pump up and dance mode was on. We hit the crazy TILT dance floor and danced till we got the booze out. Evening becomes much more enjoyable at TILT if you have a great company. I enjoyed every moment at TILT.

EVERYTHING ELSE: They have a decent place for parking and they offer valet parking too. Hygiene has been maintained well all over the place. Management will take good care of your privacy and safety while allowing you to enjoy to the fullest. It could be a great place to enjoy live sports event with your group.

FINAL VERDICT : Exclusive array of cocktails is the primary reason to recommend this place. Added to that an amazing evening experience and reasonably good food will surely mesmerize you. Best place to have a TILTy weekend.
