Socializing is today an inescapable phenomenon and everybody wants to drink better. Cafes, bars and pubs are a great place to hang out. In the metros, most working professionals spend their time at home, in the office or commuting between the two! Having a place in the neighbourhood actually helps one leave behind all the stress and unwinds in a comfortable setting.
With new innovations, creation and reinvention, these categories help to boost the restaurant industry’s growth in both volume and value. With live sports match, music performance, standup comedy or gaming nights- it’s gone beyond just drinking and transformed into more of a lifestyle leisure activity where one can party, have a good time with old friends or make new ones.
Hyderabad & its pub culture has seen a decent rise in the recent years wherein the pubs offer the best of the food & beverages as it plays a vital role not only for the pleasure but also to showcase a fully-fledged bar presence to ramp up the outlook and ambience of a restaurant.
Blue Block Club is one such place which hits all the chords on the right note. A newbie to the Jubilee Hills pub sector, Blue Block is a club which has an ambience as per its name. Be it the floors or seating arrangement or the even mirror studded walls, everything is stocked up in Blue colour which makes this place certainly an offbeat one as compared to other pubs; no chandeliers as well rather basic spotlights has been put up.
Coming to the food, we were welcome with a puff named as Vol-au-Vent, a bit-sized puff stuffed with a concoction of veggies & cheese, making it a great dish to kick start your palate. From the appetizers, baked nachos, Achari Paneer Tikka made their prominent presence amidst meat lovers, when I say this I mean it; the Paneer Tikka had the apt amount of masala coated & grilled till perfection, even Nachos had the right amount kidney beans & tomatoes diced in a spice mix paired with mayo dips is surely a great pick to munch on.
From the meat section, Mutton Keema Pav was a star dish, the keema having the right amount of spice powders cooked till perfection served with Pav buns & onion rings went really well for us. Even Mutton & chicken Ghee roast aren't to be missed at all, just the right amount of fresh spices, dry roasted and ground to paste & then cooked in ghee till perfection, a recommended pick from the menu.
Even Veg platter is a great pick for the vegetarians out there with decent quantity & quality being maintained, appetizers consisting of broccoli, paneer, shashlik, mushroom & hara bhara kebabs.
Onto the mains, Classic Chicken burger could have had the patty a bit less salty, however, buns given were fresh. Onto the Bella Dona Pizza, an amalgamation of onions, broccoli, tomatoes, jalapenos as topping with fresh cheese is a great pick for folks hanging out in a group. Both of Kashmiri Pulao & Mutton Pulao can certainly be tried out for the ones venturing into the mains, as these dishes were some quality stuff presented, light to the palate yet flavourful.
Squaring off with desserts, brownie with ice-cream is a classic pick, however, cheesecake variants like blueberry or raspberry can also be opted for as they are some standard ones presented here.
