Being Bakasura: Beer, Breakfast & Bak Bak : Bak Bak Bar, Koramangala Bengaluru

Though it is 2016, Beer hasn't considered as mainstream drink in Bangalore. Some of the pubs like Bak Bak Bar is really pushing all limits by offering some unique kind of services which rarely someone might have heard in Bangalore. Yes! Beer along with Breakfast! I know it might sound odd to a small number of people, but it definitely makes ears and senses to pop up for beer lovers. What could be the better way to start your weekend than a beer served with breakfast!

About Bak Bak Bar

Initially Bak Bak Bar was situated in Forum Koramangala, its catchy name is hard to forget even when you are high! However, now the Bak Bak Bar is located above Bakasura Restaurant near Sony Signal Koramangala. Finding this Bar is quite easy as its branding is huge on outside. It has a decent parking facility for both two & four wheelers.

Ambiance

It's kind of raw and basic. It has a large bar area which is capable of serving a huge crowd, they have both outdoor and indoor seating option. I loved the outdoor seating but as its situated near sony signal junction pollution is little concern. Their in-house branding is simple and straight. Cartoon decals will definitely seek your attention and some showcased vintage articles will tempt you to take photographs with it. They have managed to place some wacky statements and articles around but most of them will remain invisible unless you explore. They do have some indoor games like table tennis and mini soccer table. In my opinion they could have utilised the available space more efficiently.

Service

They make you feel comfortable! All stewards are very attentive and oblige very well for your requirement. In my whole breakfast session they never gave me a chance to remind them about the orders. Every steward knows the menu very well, they never attempted to suggest us or interfere in between our discussion about the order. They are well trained in deed.

Beer-Breakfast Experience

Its a popular trend in many countries and Bak Bak Bar has beautifully adopted this trend to give a great desi experience to the Bengaluru customers. We were cordially welcomed with the Fresh Watermelon Juice, I didn’t liked it much as it tasted too diluted.
Our breakfast begin with Kingfisher Beer and bunch of diversified menu;

Just say Cheese Omelette: One of the best version of Omelet I ever had in my life. It was so soft and delicate. It tasted wonderful and it really made my day. Along with this dish they serve Potato wedges and fresh bread, cheese & true strawberry jam.

Baked Eggs in Cloud: The name says it all. It really appeared like they have placed the baked egg on a piece of cloud. It was as fluffy as cloud. Its presentation was so good that I worried a bit to pierce it with fork. It tasted as good as it appeared. One of the finest egg delicacy I had in recent times. It was served along with Bread, cheese and tomato jam.

Akuri: It’s a parsi version of scrambled egg, moderately spiced and served with Pav (Soft Bread) and cheese. It tasted great and the masala used in it was just perfect.

Shakshuka: Another Parsi Egg delicacy which had unique blend of sourness with light spiciness. The half boiled egg was placed on the salsa like gravy. It tasted different than any other dish and I didn’t like it that much. But Yes! It can go well with a beer.

Surat Eggless Masala Burji: One among the few pure vegetarian option, At first glance it appeared like scrambled egg, but upon close observation and tasting we discovered that its in fact scrambled paneer. Bravo! To the chef, he perfectly managed the spice level in this dish and it tasted heavenly. They served it with plain soft Roti and believe me it was a great combination indeed!

Aloo Paratha: Another dish which I liked to the core. Being a veggie lover I have tried stuffed Paratha all over the country and I know how a stuffed Paratha should be. And in Bak Bak Bar they have crafted a perfect art of making Aloo Paratha. Usually, many places in Bangalore which serve Aloo Paratha will stuff aloo more into the paratha. In order to make a perfect aloo paratha, one must mix the equal amount of peas, onion & required amount of chilli puree to it. After my breakfast session in Bak Bak Bar, it gained a permanent place in my “Best Paratha places in Bangalore” list. Just lovely!!!

Kuzhi Paniyaram: How could a breakfast event can end without having southindian dish! Kuzhi Paniyaram or as we call Paddu / Gundu-Pongalu in our local language was an absolute surprise. The chutney supplied with it was not that great but however the overall taste was manageable.

Classic Pancakes: American standard breakfast, it was served with vanilla ice cream and maple syrup. Though it was above average, it tasted great when I tried it with Vanilla Ice Cream. In my opinion slight improvement can be done by providing more options of syrups.

Classic Waffles: I was bit disappointed with this as the crispiness was totally absent. Chef has to work a lot on making this dish better.

Herb Waffles: This was served with mustard sauce, there was not much of a difference between classic and herb, but yeah I liked herb Waffles as it tasted wacky to me!

EVERYTHING ELSE

In my views for the concept of beer and breakfast the current menu is just perfect! If they concentrate on the factors like improving some dishes & choices of beers they can pioneer in hosting this trend. I’m really please and felt thankful to them for inviting me to experience such an unique concept.

FINAL VERDICT: There can’t be any better reason than “Beer with Breakfast” in order to recommend this place. But, yes! They do justify the theme & provide a great experience!
