Flambe, new restaurant at Sarjapur

I recently changed jobs — but didn’t bargain for the drastic effect it would have on my gastronomic life. With my office address not being exactly Time Square, I have been sorely missing the plentiful lunch options offered by the heart of town eateries.

Then, while scrounging around for a not-so-boring hangout close by, I spotted Flambe, a delish new restaurant that is certain to banish weekday blues!

Though their buffets are commendable and their Sunday brunches with complimentary beer definitely worth a dekko, it’s their theme-based a-la-carte — available for lunch and dinner — that keeps you guessing every day of the week.

A self-styled ‘casual fine dining restaurant’, Flambe gives a new meaning to the term ‘multi-cuisine’. If it’s mmmmmilicious Mediterranean on Mondays, it’s seafood on Wednesdays and Lebanese and Spanish on Thursday nights (Trendy pick: Gambas al ajillo, a gastronomic sin made of prawns in olive oil, garlic and chilli served with fresh Spanish paella.) On Fridays, they do American and on Saturdays, it’s sizzlers. Sundays and Tuesdays are Curries-and-Spice days.

The menu is peppered with dishes guaranteed to make even the most propah dame drool — think Bruschetta Risottos, Jamaican lamb, catch-of-the day lobsters! There is also a core Indian fare complete with chaatsfor those who prefer the straight- and-narrow. For desert, I recommend the apple strudel.

Fire up your senses!
