Grab Eat
Go.. Grab it
At times people
have cravings for different foods instantaneously and they go hopping around to
the streets to hunt what they desire for. It happens to me very often, I tend
to crave for too many things at the same time. A week back, I was hanging
around with my friends at Koramangala when we came across a newly opened small
but attractive and colourful café cum restaurant ‘Grab Eat’.
It was a Friday
evening and ohh yes we were hungry. As soon as we entered, we were greeted by Mr. Amitava Nandi,
Director – Operations, Grab Eat. Surprisingly, the menu had it all, from
wraps to momos, soups to salads and shakes, meal combos to Biriyani and
Coffee/tea to desserts, a perfect solution for my cravings for too many things
at the same time.

After looking at the menu, one would argue of not having too many items but honestly speaking I prefer not being confused by many items on the menu with more or less same taste with different name.
Mr. Amitava
explained us the concept behind Grab Eat. He opines “The concept of Grab Eat is
very different from others. It is a café cum restaurant cum fast food joint
with a take away, home delivery and dine in facilities. There is something
favourite for everyone on the menu”.
The interiors are
nicely done with interesting quirky posters which say ‘We’re big eaters’,
‘Humor keeps us alive. Humor and food. Don’t forget food. You can go a week
without laughing’, ‘I am not a Glutton, I am an explorer of food’ and few more.
This place offers free Wi-Fi (for 30 minutes) with power socket at every table,
making a perfect place for the working people. One thing very unique about serving
the food, it is handed over in the ready-to-take-home boxes.
Mr. Amitava further
says “We are planning to open few more Grab Eat stores across happening places
in Bangalore and we are also on the verge of finalizing on-campus stores in few
IT companies”.

Having said lot
about the place, let’s talk business (food).
We started with
Parantha rolls, Paneer Tikka for veggies and Chicken Tikka for
others. There is one advantage being a non – vegetarian, we can eat and
experience the vegetarian food. Paneer Tikka roll was neatly wrapped with chunks of paneer
and vegetables giving a perfect start for the evening. However, I was disappointed
with Chicken Tikka roll. It was very dry which is big NO for me. Taste
wise, I felt there was something missing which made it an average chicken tikka
roll available anywhere and everywhere.

Next on the table
was Pita Wraps – Grilled Vegetables and Grilled Chicken. I
would prefer both the wraps over the parantha rolls. The wraps were very soft,
cheesy, holding the taste and essence of chicken and vegetables. I would highly
recommend this to people visiting Grab Eat.

Next on the menu
was something which never fades from the mind of food lovers – Pav Bhaji. The
moment we opened the box, we could nose the mouth-watering aroma of the bhaji. To
say the least, it was properly cooked, not experimenting too much, very simple
yet very effective.

Coming from
Siliguri (a small town in West Bengal), with its proximity to Darjeeling and
Gangtok, I am very fond of eating scrumptious momos. And
yes, next on the menu was steamed vegetable and chicken momos. Three years in Bangalore and I am still
hunting for the momos like my home town. Some are good; some are better but yet
to find the perfect substitute. Here at Grab Eat, momos are really good in
terms of taste but it is very greasy which makes it impossible to eat more than
few pieces. Also, dip or chutney as we say makes momo tastier. It is just
initial days and I am sure Grab Eat will get the combination of momos very
soon.

Next up was Greek Salad (for
veggies) and Grilled Chicken Salad. The Greek salad was brilliant to say
the least but again I was not very impressed with the grilled chicken salad. It
was very dry, may be presence of cheese would do wonders to it.

Meals were next on
the menu. The veggies opted for Kadhai Paneer and the rest opted for Bhuna Chicken Masala,
Masala Omlette Curry and Butter Chicken. It
is served with the choice of two lachcha paranthas or a bowl of steamed rice.
The quantity is perfect for one. All the meals are definitely the highlight of
the menu. The meals are very high on taste, cooked to perfection with apt use
of spices. A special mention to Masala Omelette Curry which was the favourite among all of
us. It reminded me of my home food. My mom used to make this at home.

Next up on the
table was Subz Tehri Biriyani and Murgh Biriyani.
Doesn’t matter if you are full, there is always small place for Biriyani. This
is another highlight of the menu. The Murgh Biriyani scores for its aroma and
the boneless chicken chunks.

Throughout the
food, we kept on sipping some outstanding coolers like Mango Tango, Mocha Motion,
Sunset cooler and Lime N Lemony cooler. All the coolers are very different
from each other and stands out tall to quench your thirst and relish your
senses. It perfectly accompanies the food listed on the menu.

And as I always say, no food can be complete
without desserts. We chose Hot Chocolate Fudge to conclude the proceedings of brilliantly
spend evening. We were definitely high on food.

When you have wonderful friends for company along with awesome food, the evening will always be a beautiful one.
