A HAPPY HIPPIE SUNDAY BRUNCH AT GOKULAM GRAND HOTEL AND SPA | AN EXPERIENCE

SUNDAY is a day where you gotta say, "Move over coffee, today is a job for champagne" and Sunday is probably one day where you get to de-stress and rejuvenate after a long tiring week and what better way to do so than spending it with your favorite people enjoying a lavish spread with bottomless drinks and music that will grow on you. Gokulam Grand Hotel & Spa Bangalore has got a wild and lavish spread to satisfy all your lazy Sunday desires. The tempting spread and also that little bit of sunlight that peeps into will translate a lazy day to an endless supply of photo opportunities. 

As we march towards another joyous year, I am happy to share my cozy Sunday Brunch experience at Gokulam Grand Hotel and Spa, Almost 6-7 live counters, above 200 dishes, unlimited alcohol, a delicious combination of taste, variety and value, Gokulam Grand Hotel has got you tied to celebrate a laid-back brunch. Cheers to that!. 

Started off with a warm bowl of Mongolian Vegetable Soup, the interesting part here was we made our own soup bowl. There was both the veg and non-veg stock kept and we had the choice to add our own veggies/meat as per our heart. I totally loved this concept and enjoyed every sip of it. 

There was a simple salad bar and also compound salads. Me being a salad lover, it was a visual treat to my eyes and also to my tastebuds. The Rosemary pumpkin quarter with tomato salsa, roasted mushroom with carrot and celery, poached pears and plum with sundry tomato were my pick in the vegetarian. In non-veg, the chicken tikka with yogurt & mint dressing, grilled chicken breast and avocado with garlic and herb dip tasted yumm. 

It's a lavish spread needless to say and you have abundant to pick from. The Sushi bar and the Dimsum counter, in fact, made me change my seating from one corner to this cozy corner.

 Not to miss the staple dosa and appam counter, also one gets to taste a variety of chaats, pav bhaji with kheema is something you should not miss on. If you get bored of the chutneys and stew,  then add on that zing to your dosa's and appam with the mutton kheema, you will thank me.

 There's also an exclusive Italian counter where the pizza, varieties of cheese and pasta shined with grace. 

I have to talk about the Grills N Frills section where fresh fish, chicken cuts, beef steaks, chicken wings and many more were kept. One gets to choose their loved style of cooking and that comes to your table. 

In the Mains section, the South-Indian in me made me try the Kerala red rice with Dal Tadka and Ulli Theeyal that comforted my soul to a different level. The Double Baked Potato was so soothing, and the Egg Chettinad got a round of applause from each and every one of us. 

The Vegetable Burrito Pie was a little dry and lacked in flavors, but there were so many other dishes to relish on. 

Desserts that literally spoke lavishness made my head spin, but each and every dessert easily stole our hearts. It's very difficult to pick which one is the best, but here is my list... Strawberry Pannacotta, Vanilla Bavarois with Berry Pista Streusel, Mocha Chiffon Chocolate Coffee Parfait, Carrot Cake with Cream Cheese, Apple Puff Tart and Mint Macaroon were the clear crowd pleasers. 

Above all, here's the cracker. Gokulam Grand Hotel and Spa Bangalore has priced this buffet very competitively at INR 1999+taxes for non-alcoholic and INR 2999+ taxes for alcoholic with sparkling wine. Its great value for money in addition to the quality, service and ambience it offers. 

Now you know where to head for your Sunday Brunch. Head to Gokulam Grand Hotel and soak yourselves in pure indulgence.
