Being Bakasura: An amazing weekend food destination : Holy Flames, Marathahalli

Absolute Delight! Honestly, this is one of those restaurants which lives beyond your expectations. This restaurant has taken a leap in experimenting fusion food and delivering the unmatched quality at the same time. It was really surprising to see the equal priority for both Veg & Non Veg categories in their each cuisine.

AMBIANCE: Its quite astonishing, tables are well equipped with Barbecue Pit with decent cutlers. Wood log textured wall will definitely tempt you to take a selfie with it. Some of the decal & sign frames makes you to spend bit time figuring out what it really mean. Corner of the restaurant hosts live wish grill counter, another corner has desert counter. Bar is strategically placed near the entrance. Kitchen is quite big and hygiene is maintained well. Apart from all these, they have a nice pool with lawn & Garden at the entrance and they are planning to host mobile grill counter in the garden area which will be a great combination of fun & food once they implement.

SERVICE: Their service should be benchmark for many posh restaurants in Bengaluru. Each table will be attended by 3-4 stewards and they never ever give you chance to look up to make a service related request. Since it was an invitation for tasting event, we are able meet the Owner, Manager & Chefs. Everyone is so humble and service oriented. They will make sure that you feel like a VIP in their restaurant. Chef was very kind enough to come again and again to ask about the quality & taste of food and he was very open for the suggestions. Totally they will offer an unique kind of service.

FOOD

Pineapple Passion & Pink Lady

Their food upholds the name "Holy". After a long time I enjoyed each food without bothering about diet. Some of the starters were divine in deed.We were served with two shots as welcome drink. The Pink Lady & The Pineapple Passion. It was quite difficult to detect the flavor of Pink Lady but at last we assumed it as Canberry. However both drinks were good and gave the indication that our lunch session is going to be wonderful.
As I stated above, service was real quick. As soon as we finished our welcome shots, they arranged grill pit in our table and loaded with Variety of grills... Nooo... They were not just ordinary grills, they were divine grills...

GRILLS:

Paneer Grill: It was tooooooo soft. Very rarely I got to taste such high quality paneer and Holy Flames is my new favorite in it. We got to know that they prepare paneer by themselves in restaurant instead of depending on paneer available in retail.
Tandoori Ananas: Star of the day, I don't know how many of these pineapple grill I consumed on that day. It tasted simply magical. Spiciness use to kick in to the taste buds after swallowing it. We couldn't able to hold our curiosity and called chef to know the art of such spice management. Other Grills like potato, corn & fruits were too good.

STARTERS:

Paneer Sufiyan, Aloo 65 were good and taste was just perfect as it should be.Salt & Pepper Corn was one more dish which delighted our lunch experience more. It was neither too crispy nor too soft, somewhere in middle of perfection which is too hard to achieve. We just enjoyed every bit of it by ordered multiple times.Apart from above starters, they served hara bhara kabab & Jalpeno Fitters. Hara Bhara Kabab was good in terms of both filling and taste. Jalpeno Fitter was quite aside. Though it was true to its core taste, didn't appealed much in between such wide starters range.

WISH GRILL:

This restaurant has adopted one of the rare trend in the Town called Wish Grill, where you can choose the cuisine, ingredients and experiment by creating your own fusion food. Though this option appears like wonderful, I'm quite disappointed from the output. Flat Noodles was below average and a Mexican veg bowl tasted just average.

MAIN COURSE:

By the time we reached the stage of having Main Course, our stomach's were full. After talking a walk in lobby with the Manger, we were back in track and tried our hands on main course. Curries were good, Naan was soft. Chef was kind enough to prepare Veg Biriyani freshly (which was out of the menu) upon our request.

DESERTS:

Before jumping on to deserts we tried chat section. I had papdi chat which was good but paani puri was too sour.I must admit, their desert spread is one of the widest desert spread in the town. Brownies, Cakes, Pastries, Bengal Sweets, Ice Creams and what not. You will definitely feel like kid while selecting the desert. I tried combination of two ice creams, brownie, a pastry and a bengal sweet. Everything was good.

DRINKS:

I tasted a cucumber flavored mocktail which was too good, my fellow foodies who tried cocktails were too happy about their drink.

EVERYTHING ELSE: I just wish that the wish grill had separate section for Veg & Non Veg, Distance between the tables are good and provides perfect privacy. Available space is well utilized to host all kinds of crowds.

FINAL VERDICT: I feel its an ultimate destination of Barbecue Experience. Value for Money, Delightful Service and Divine Food Quality are the Key Factors to put this restaurant in your wishlist.
