Located right within the hustle and bustle of a busy
Whitefield, Boondock Bistro has a benefit of contrast, as a place where one
looks forward to laze and spend a slow weekend morning. With countless windows,
natural light and plenty of ventilation, the two month old restaurant seems to offer
a pleasant ambience – whether for young professionals looking for a working
lunch or for couples looking for a relaxed and romantic dinner - all the same. With illustrations of Paul Fernandes
adorning the charmingly done interiors, and some cool comic-strip laminations on
dining tables, it is not easy to overlook the thought and effort behind this steak
house’s setting.
The menu and the kind of food served is a
near-perfect attempt at making an American diner style offering. The weekend all-day
breakfast is a big hit, with fresh slices of bacon served as part of the
American breakfast platter. The pancakes are not quite out of the world, but
work well nonetheless. All meat is fresh, thanks to a regular supplier.
The chicken has some good variations and manages to
make you yearn for more. A must-try on the chicken menu is the slow-roasted
chicken steak that is served with a choice of sauces; we recommend the pepper
sauce that goes perfectly fine with the crispy roast. The Texas T-bone steak
could be the next weakness for beef lovers. If you do, however, like your steak
well-done, make sure the chef gets it through and gives it to you, as you like
it. The chef also recommends the curry pasta – a curry flavored rendition of
the Italian white sauce.
Desserts are in their nascent stage. The sinful
chocolaty sizzling brownie is our favorite, while the apple cheese cake is a
bit on the sweeter side, and has its fans amongst the regulars.
While the service is not lightning-quick, the fact
that the owner shares a casual conversation with visitors gives the place an
overall feel-good.
In all, Boondock Bistro is a bang for your buck.
With menu prices inclusive of all taxes, they make sure you don’t end up
selling your kidneys to pay VAT.
