Level 5 Bistro and Bar is a little tour around the globe itself in terms of food and ambiance. After the success stories of Kalinga, A European bistro brings the global cuisine to your tables to give you an experience of food around the globe. It's not just a literal representation of global experience in terms of food but also in terms of ambiance.
This cute little bistro stands at Vakil Nagar, Erandwane on top of the same building as Kalinga at guess what Level 5. The place has a whole different vibe going on right after you reach the floor, from the Posters of almost every city around the globe hanging on the wall to the a sweet dessert corner along with a pizza oven, even their bar has a feel good vibe. Offering a Valet Parking to able to house upto 60 cars, the place has spared a thought for their customers in every possible ways. After a lot of my friends going gaga about the place for a while and reading a several blogs that talks nothing but highly of the place, I've been thinking to go there for a while until I got invited for a blogger's table. And Here a list of some of the amazing dishes that I got to try my hands on:-
SHAKES:-
Chocolate, Caramel & Popcorn Shake (225 INR):- I've never been impressed as much by a shake ever before. I happened to read about this drink so much on the social media that I happened to have a presumption it being awesome, and It actually was. The flavours of Chocolate with caramel blends so well with the crunch of Popcorn that I must say - They've got the chill, you bring you Netflix lol.
Chocolate, Cookie & Walnut Shake (225 INR):- Just like the Chocolate, Caramel & Popcorn Shake, This one is also in every possible ways - a perfect blend of Chocolate, Cookie and Walnut. The flavours are so natural and fresh that you can't stop sipping I bet.
FLAVOURED YOGHURT SMOOTHIES:-
Mango & Coconut (200 INR):- Okay first things first, I don't like Yoghurt and I don't like Yoghurt Smoothies but why will that matter right? I'm sure the drinks here has some magical essence to it, because I loved the drink to the last sip of it. And, thee flavours of Mango & Coconut just adds to the beauty of the whole experience.
BREADS AND MORE:-
Prawn Toast:- Starting from the fact that they bake their own breads, It is also a fact that I don't like Toasts, but I love Prawns (More than anyting). And Just like the Mango & Yoghurt Smoothie, this place has really made me think about my thoughts on breads(toast) all over again for the sesame crusted and fried minced Prawns on Garlic Loaf.
Level 5 Club Sandwich (350 INR):- And, Here comes bread again and to this point, I really don't think what I liked and what I didn't did even matter at all. Every single dish here was cooked to such a perfection that this one could only turn out be a wow and nothing else. A platter filled with Jumbo Bread Slices Layered with Lettuce, Vegetables, Cheese & Creamy Chicken Salad with fried eggs came with a portion of french fries, onion and salad and did turn out to be a wow(as expected).
SMALL BITES:-
Curry Peels & Dips (200 INR):- The curried potato skin cooked till crisp and served with their Signature Sour Yoghurt Dip, Smoked Bourbon Hickery Ketchup & Mustard Dip is surely as claimed to be the most wanted bar bite and I don't have any doubts in that. But Wait a sec and read this - "You need to fight for their Bourbon Hickery Ketchup if you're sharing your peels with anyone else, and trust me it's worth it".
Achari Paneer (Irani Chelo Kebabs) (250 INR):- They have done every justice to the Black Rice Cooked in Milk which is topped with Big Chunks of Paneer Kebabs which is served with Grilled Tomatoes and Roast Onion.
4 Hour Pork Ribs (425 INR):- I don't even known what to say about this. I'm still awestruck and hanging the memories of every bite that I took of this. Weird right? Well Nah! It's worth every madness. Just for the record, this is the best from the lot we are talking about. Just like the Popcorn Shake I've read so much about their Pork Ribs on Social Media and one line of some review just got stuck with me - "The Ribs are so soft that the bones just slide out on their own". And I must also mention that this was my first time ever trying Pork Ribs and I just wanted it to be a good experince, also after reading so much about it I already had a certain level of expectations from this one and then I took a bite and it just melted in mouth and My mind was like - "What The..... Woooooooooow!!!!"
ROOMALI QUESADILLA:-
Bhuna Kathal (250 INR):- I take immense pride in saying that I was the only person the other day on the table to identify the special ingredient of the Quesadilla lol haha. Jokes Apart, Right after I took the first, It just reminded me of my home and my mother. Coming from North, It was very overwhelming for me to relate with something so easily under that heavy pile of so many global cuisines, And I tell you what I'm surely going back for this one!!
PAN SEARED DIMSUM:-
Caramalised Pulled Chicken Dimsum (285 INR):- I don't even wanna give feedbacks anymore, This was unbelievable, Level 5 seems to be game with every single preparation. I mean even the Dimsums? These Chicken dumplings are cooked twice , steamed and then grilled crisp to a perfection.
KERALA PEPPER FRY:-
Kerala Pepper Fry Chicken (285 INR):- As the name suggests, The Chicken is tossed with Black Pepper, Chilies, Coriander & Coconut leaving strong yet subtle flavour of every single ingredient.
DESSERTS:-
Chocolate Bomb (250 INR):- This Chocolate dessert make it irresistible to see a plate full of molten chocolate bomb preparation along with a portion of berry compote which makes it sweet but tangy along with Vanilla Ice-Cream to make this whole dessert more dreamy. The trick is to mix everything together for a surprising bite.
Level 5 Tiramisu (250 INR):- Do you believe in love at first sight? 'Cause This just got my eyes rolling, This just didn't looked gorge but tasted super yumm too. This coffee-flavoured Italian has never disappointed me but this one at Level 5 got me doing a whole photo-shoot flaunting myself and telling everyone that there could be no better way to end a super delicious meal than this super delicious dessert.
I can surely I had such an amazing lunching experience here at Level 5 that I am literally head over heels in love with every single dish that I had here. And You know what you can head to this beautiful place and experience the same with a 30% discount on Food from 11am to 7pm - Monday to Thursday. Have a great one!!
