Toit - Benguluru's Best brewpub

JP's scorecard Taste - 5/5, Service - 4/5, Ambience - 5/5, Value for money - 5/5. 

It was get-together with friends, after much debate and deliberations we choose to meet at Toit. We were looking for place close to metro station and best pub in the business. Toit was our choice. If you are a bengulurean and like to hangout with friends over good food and drink, you must have heard of this place or must have visited this place. Toit has reached legendary status since it began its operation in 2010. Let me directly get into the experience..

Appetizers All the starters were good, tasty and there was enough quantity. All of the appetizers went well with the drinks

Cajun Potato Wedges (5/5) - Potato wedges was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. It had been deep fried to perfection and sprinkled with chili powder & Toit's own spices. We good feel the aroma of fresh chili powder. Wedges were served with delicious mayonnaise Lemon fried chicken (5/5)  - Wow, this was one of the best fried chicken with lemon flavor.

You are served with 6 varieties of in house brewed chilled beer. You could taste the lightest to strong variety of beer Main course Pasta (5/5) - We ordered penne pasta with Arrabbiata sauce with chicken. There was enough quantity for 2 people. Penne was cooked with the red sauce and strips of chicken.

Dessert Brownie trifle (5/5) - This was the day's special menu dessert, layers of cream, chocolate sauce, fried Oreo biscuits and brownie. It was a perfect way to end our drinks and food.

Ambience (5/5) - One of the best ambience, it has the typical English style pub interiors. It is 2 storey wooden structure, first floor houses the brewery, seating facing the brewery, bar counter and seating arrangement. There is wooden stairs which takes you to the first floor and from here you get the view of the microbrewery setup. The aroma from brewery spreads around creating an appetizing environment. We got seated on the first floor just in front of the bar counter. They also have pet friendly seating.

Service (4/5) - One of the best service, right from the time of making the reservation till the time we left the pub it was a seamless experience. This place is always full, so make sure your reservation in advance. If you are planning to reserve for fri-sun night make sure you book at least 3-4 days in advance. I booked for Saturday 12pm. You get a SMS once your booking is confirmed by Toit team. We got the table on the first floor, F32 to be precise. It was designated non-smoking area. We started with appetizers, cocktails and beer. Our orders came thick and fast. Service team is polite, courteous and responsive to your requests. This place does not have its own parking, but they do have valet parking option. Best way to reach is through metro.

Value for money (5/5) I was satisfied with price given the overall experience, the starters had enough quantity and reasonably priced, fantastic ambience setting for long chat with friends and family over food and drinks, we chatted for over 4 hrs

Overall verdict (5/5) - Must visit if you want to get the experience of best pub in bengaluru. Highly recommend this place for meeting friends, colleagues, clients and even family.
