So Sly Granny happened for us a while ago but as luck would have it (or better yet, my very unforgiving schedule) this experience is being shared quite a long while after it happened. So with due apologies to the Sly Granny who gave us quite the story to mull about over this meal that we had been invited to, let me dive right in.
Sly Granny has managed to find itself some space on 12th Main in Indiranagar, which I have long since stopped wondering on its ability to accommodate new restaurants. Anyways, as the tale that has been woven around it goes - a nice little granny kicked the bucket and those wandering the halls of her home found out that she had quite a few secrets and interests hidden away - her love for pineapples, Arnie Schwarzenegger, some high quality tipple among other things. So the house reveals itself in the form of rooms, art walls, hidden spaces, laden cupboards and more.
You can choose to sit in the general dining area, the rooftop and if luck is on your side, the special place (call in and ask about it. Don't want to break the fun of that discovery). So we chose to sit in the general area, with its nice upholstered Victorian era chairs and leather backed sofa seats. We didn't have to bother about ordering as our meal was decided for us, so let me get right to that.Do note that a number of dishes were served to us as tasting portions so do bear that in mind when reading.
These were our drinks for the evening Above and Below - Le Punch in the wine glass, Whiskey Smash with the orange rind, Chase & Status and Strider
This slow Roast Lamb shoulder is served up on a bed of lentils, rice and brown onion pilaf, with a drizzle of pomegranate balsamic glaze.Here I found the meat and the sticky glaze on it really nicely done. I would be have preferred another carb... maybe something potato-based or even some good bread on the side.
The mini Kulcha are trending quite a bit right now and we were served up quite a number of them - 4 in fact - here you see the Pumpkin & Feta stuffed Kulcha, Cheese and Feta Stuffed, Kerala Beef Stuffed Kulcha, Chorizo Stuffed Kulcha. I was more partial to the meat based one, though for cheese lovers, either of the first two would work perfectly well.
Pot du Cake with orange creme anglaise - Okay, let's see- sinful, decadent, indulgent, creamy, gooey, sticky, I-am-now-drooling good this one is
Sly Granny is an experience - in fact, the experience you get is different one on each floor and section and is totally based on the kind of mood you are. The food is experimentative, in keeping the theme of the space. Its great to lounge around, catch up over a few drinks and some good food. Definitely worth a try when you are in the area. An average meal for two is in the Rs 2750+ category and the restrooms are interesting spaces too.
