Gustum - Bangaluru India

Exceptional experience at Gustum! Embarked on a culinary adventure through Google Maps and discovered Gustum – a gastronomic gem! Our journey commenced with a delightful surprise – a complimentary Papadam basket accompanied by an array of flavorful chutneys – an inviting prelude to the feast. A symphony of flavors awaited in the form of a delectable soup, reminiscent of the South Indian delicacy, Sodhi, crafted with rich coconut milk – an exquisite start to our culinary voyage. The starters, Vazhapoo Kilangu Cutlet and Hyderabadi Chicken Samosey, were a harmonious blend of innovation and tradition. The simplicity of the Samosey belied their delightful taste. Venturing into the main course, we savored the classics – Kerala Parotta, Ghee Rice, Pot-Egg Roast, and Malabar Veg Kuruma. The Parottas were a timeless delight, while the Ghee Rice, laden with ghee and nuts, offered a luxurious yet indulgent experience. The Pot Egg Roast, with its simplicity and elegance, complemented both the Parottas and Ghee Rice flawlessly. The Malabar Veg Kuruma, a culinary masterpiece, proved to be a delightful challenge to finish – a testament to its generous portion size. Gustum's ambiance is full of greenery, creating a tranquil rooftop haven. Ideal for family gatherings, friendly rendezvous, or intimate dates. While the cost may lean towards the higher side, the culinary journey at Gustum is an investment in unparalleled flavors and a unique dining atmosphere. Highly recommend this culinary haven for at least one unforgettable experience.

A comfortable and affordable place to enjoy classic cuisine from Kerala. Quick and prompt service. Usually not much crowded.

Gustum has a very nice ambience if you like a laid back atmosphere. The place is tastefully done with outdoor seating and plenty of natural light The staff is very friendly. Though the presentation of the food is good, the taste is a generally a hit or miss. The masala breaded fish were wafer thin, very dry and had more bread than fish. The Goan style chicken thighs were quiet tasty. The phulkas were a little dry. The beef roast and egg roast were quite good but the spices were too coarsely ground for my taste and had an overload of curry leaves. The prawn biryani was good but loaded with curry leaves give it a try if you like Kerala style biryani. The payasam was excellent. On the whole, I found the place a little expensive for the taste. I wished the food was as as good as the presentation.

The staff was courteous and the ambience was really nice. I especially liked the portion size and the chef's special dishes! :

Nice place, good food, ambience, service. I must say thanks to the guy who was there, Mr.Joyce. he helped us in ordering the food and was very polite with us. Must try Rawa fried Prawns Mango mixed fish curry
