The Flechazo Experience | Marathahalli | Bangalore
23:34 |
| Prawn cocktail shot |
It was quite a long time ago that I (Rudra) was fascinated with the concept of desserts, ice creams and the sort made with liquid nitrogen. Since liquid nitrogen is not readily available and needs to be handled with caution, it requires a certain degree of workmanship which is expensive and thus, most restaurants opt out!
We visited a restaurant very recently and we were amazed to
discover that it took the risk and it sure paid off! The restaurant we are
talking about is Flechazo and it newly set its roots in Bangalore. It is
located in Doddenakundi, Bangalore and it is hard to miss for travelling
people.
This restaurant specializes in a few offerings which make it
quite unique and not only that, but their pricing is also affordable. To make
it more family friendly, the place is alcohol free!
The restaurant has a small conveyor belt with bite sized
food items which they call food shots. These include: sushi, dim sums, shrimp
cocktails, dahi bhalla etc. which keep changing from time to time.
The sushi was well done and tasted pretty good. The rolls
were well bound and did not break apart. The dim sums need some improvement in
the outer covering as it was quite chewy and hard (indicating it was not well
cooked). Dim sum coverings are supposed to be soft and smooth. The inner
stuffing in both the veg and non-veg dim sums was well balanced and tasty.
The shrimp cocktails are a must try. The poached shrimp with
the cocktail sauce is a classic and they maintained the classic taste. There
was only one difference: this was served in a small shot glass ;)
There were also kebabs served on the table: Chicken Tangri
Kebabs, Fish cakes, golden fried prawns, Gosht Shami Kebab and chicken shawarma
for non veg, and spicy pineapple, crispy corn, corn Turkish and a paneer
preparation for veg.
The Tangri kebabs were spicy, juicy and tasted great. The
chicken shawarma had a unique style of serving. The chicken is sliced right in
front of the customer, so one can choose how much they want and from where they
want! Plus the chicken is juicy and delicious.
The golden fried prawns were well done apart from the fact
that the prawns were small in size. The paneer preparation was well cooked,
spicy and moderately soft. The pineapple was wonderful as always and juicy too.
It acted as a perfect palate cleanser. The other items were also worth trying
but these were the highlights for sure.

Lastly, there were also thin crust veg and non veg pizzas
which were impressive. The crust had a good crunch with generous quantity of
cheese and toppings.
Now coming to the main course:
After heavy starters we really could not try much of the
main course items. The buffet had a wide variety which changes from time to
time. Their mocktails are also pretty impressive. We tried one with kaffir lime
and another one with mango and coconut and both were very refreshing and well
balanced. They were served in exciting ways too!

The Murgh Wajid Ali was the best preparation in the non veg
main course. The richness and consistency of the gravy, the soft and well
cooked chicken and lastly the aroma and taste made sure it has no competition.
The Kerala fish curry was also a good preparation. The
boneless chunks of fish retained the flavours of coconut and curry leaves and
it tasted and smelled great!
The mutton biriyani was standard but the Mutton Rogan Josh
needs some improvement as it lacked flavour. The mutton pieces were too fatty
for comfort. The preparation was decent, but could not bring about the true
flavour and beauty of mutton, especially in the gravy.
The Paneer Makhana preparation was rich, creamy and
delicious but it would have been better if the paneer pieces were softer.

| Coastal Crab Curry |
The disappointment was the coastal crab curry. The aroma was
very tempting but it was so watery that one cannot sense the presence of salt.
The soft shell crabs were well cooked and juicy but as the gravy was too watery
the flavours were not retained.
Now that’s all from the main course. The desserts had a lot
to offer but the nitrogen ice creams and the triple temptation were the best of
the lot.
There were assorted macaroons as well which tasted great
especially if you consider them being served in a buffet and at such a
reasonable price! The orange chocolate cheese cake was also decent and was true
to its name.

The triple temptation had 3 layers: white chocolate, dark
chocolate and a brownie in between and it was fantastic. The nitrogen ice cream
making put on quite a show as a lot of smoke comes into the picture. We tasted
the mango & coconut and the rose ice cream and they are now our new
favourites! The flavours come out great and the imperfect consistency makes it
better than the ice creams which are normally available.
The buffet experience provided by Flechazo is definitely new
and is bound to create an impact in the minds of people. If one considers the
price point, such a huge variety of food combined with the conveyor belt food
shots and nitrogen ice cream is something no other place can (or rather will)
provide!
There are a few improvements as we have mentioned and we
will definitely revisit as we believe if they improve some more, they’ll soon
be one of the best buffet joints in town.
If you guys visit, do let us know about your experience!
