Om Made Cafe, sounded like a queer but interesting name for a restaurant. It had us all thinking in different directions about the place, food etc, but we had heard good things about it. We decided to pay a visit on a sunday night to find out more.
The place is located in Koramangala 5th block in between hundreds of other restaurants. To it's disadvantage it is located on the 5th floor of the building and has a visibility issue. On the flipside it is nice and breezy as it's uncovered from the sides, and offers views of the area around.
The design elements here are rather different but appealing. You must visit the bathroom, it's like nothing i've seen before. The semi open kitchen is in the center of the floor, and tables are laid out on all sides. The kitchen counter has a glass display for their desserts which had us tempted, and we sat right opposite.
To start off we ordered our drinks - frost sparkling ice tea, white sangria, bellini and a glass of white wine. Unfortunately they serve only wine, but they sure know how to make their wine cocktails as all were mixed properly and had the right taste and right amount of alcohol.
To go along with our drinks, we ordered for a cheese platter and a couple of salads as there was no real option of starters. The wine is to be had with the food basically, which is the european concept really.
The cheese platter is supposed to have choices of cheese, which was not mentioned to us by the waiter and we got to know about it later.
The platter had some feta, blue cheese, emmantel and another one.
The platter was ok but we would have changed some of the hard cheese if given an option.
Among the salads we had mowgly and praia, both were made so nicely, none of the flavours were too stark, and in particular the praia I must say was brilliant.
For Mains we tried quite a mix of things. The vegetarians had smart spaghetti, which was not bad, but could have had more of the vegetables. The masala malai paneer skewer was paneer with rice which felt a bit dry. Thankfully the paneer was not hard and chewy so it was managaeable.
The chicken variant of the skewer was better, and had a nice honey glaze, not overdone and went well with the interesting rice and bell peppers. It wasn't just plain rice, and even though i relished it, i don't really know what it was.
The lamb burger was served without any fires, salad etc and was not big either. A disappointment in terms of size and presentation, but in fact the portions are rather small and a dish would not suffice for a good eater.
We went on to try a couple of their desserts, which was the omc (om made cafe) cup - brownie with ice cream, chocolate sauce and nuts. The dark chocolate and cherry was baked and had mild flavours of both, it was not bad but both the desserts were nothing memorable.
Service is a tad slow and you can't expect to grab a quick meal and get out here. It's better to just relax and have a good time with friends/family while soaking in the atmosphere, sipping on some wine and eating your food. They do have a sunday brunch as well, but going by the options, it might not be the best value.
The pricing is high and it can be left for more precious occasions than a casual eat out.
On our way out we say this colourful red post box which said stay in touch, and also review us on zomato. Guess we'll be doing that Mr. Fernandes.
