Up The Bistro a Café at Gachibowli serve Continental and North Indian dishes. An invitation for Blogger Table with pre-set menu which include mostly North Indian dishes.
Location – It is located beside Heritage Super Market near to Gachibowli fly over.
Ambience – I like roof top restaurant and Up The Bistro will be part of that list. Simply yet elegant ambience suits for family or hangout place with friends. Live music on weekend take this experience to next level.
Service – The staff was carrying smile on face and serve respectfully when they are on business. The friendliness of staff makes me eat more. Great to have staff which server by heart and enjoy what they do… kudos to staff!!! ( Btw.. like many other folks I can easy differentiate fake or forceful smile ….I had that sense)
Food –
We started our dinner with Passion delight. A Passion Fruit Puree , Maple Syrup with Pineapple Juice was refreshing drink to start with. I prefer it to be stronger then what I had.
In soup segment my choice was Murgh makhni soup. I felt hint of classic butter chicken recipes in this soup. Richness , sweetness , spiciness and tanginess with typical Indian Spices…….a Soup was complete package by itself. A Show Stopper in the segment and FoodieXP’s recommendation.
Starters:
In Veg Starters Segment We tried Crispy Veg – batter fried Crispy veg served with garlic wasabi mayo was bang on taste. A thin coating of batter and crunchiness of vegies make this a perfect dish. Achari paneer tikka – A homemade mixed veg pickle flavoured spicy with cottage cheese slice cooked in char coal oven was another favourite among us. A little soft paneer will definitely take this dish to next level. Ajwaini Bharwa Mushroom -Crumbed mushroom stuffed with spices was appreciated by all mushroom lovers. The show stopper in Veg Segment was Achari paneer tikka.
In Non Veg Starters Segment, Murgh mirch tikka – Tandoor cooked chicken with double dose of chili still the show with its flavour and presentation. The combination of Indo chiness spices in Asian Chilli chicken disappoint me as I prefer it to be spicier. Lamb lovers admire Spicy Chilli lamb. The show stopper in Non Veg Segment was Murgh mirhc tikka.
In Main Course’s Veg Segment, Veg kofta – mixed vegetable’s kofta enhanced with goodness of indian flavours was delicious. Veg kofta set it aside from all kofta I tried till date. I am not mushroom lovers in gravy section so chilli mushroom gravy didn’t attract me much as I was enjoying Veg Kofta much.
In Main Course’s Non Veg Segment, Angara Chicken curry – Boneless chicken pieces cooked in almond and tomato paste was another delicious dish. I also liked Methi Murgh – tender chicken chunks cooked with assorted spices and fresh methi leaves. In show stopper spot both dishes were giving tough compilation to each other but Methi Murgh win’s it by an inch.
Last dish in main course segment was Kashmiri pulao – a very popular Kashmiri rice dish prepared with dry fruits, nuts and fresh fruits still our heart with it’s simplicity and perfection. Kashmiri pulao ends our Main Couse segment on very high node.
The ingredient used in the gravy are balanced and not too dominating. If you like strong flavours, then request can be attended.

I am dessert lovers and always keep some room for dessert. We were served with gulab jamun and kheer. The in house preparation of Gulab Jamun was fresh , warm and moderate sweet. A north indian style Kheer where you get bit of basmati rice and flavours nuts and saffron was another delectable dish. At last we were served with Blueberry Cheese Cake. Mascarpone cheese mixed with blueberry which sits on top of a biscuit layer and topped by blueberries was heavenly dessert. The show stopper in the segment was blueberry Cheese Cake.
FoodieXP Verdict:
A quick break for delicious lunch or dinner after hectic day at work; Up The Bistro at Gachibowli is right place to enjoy delicious Continental and North Indian food. Thumps up for Up The Bistro.
