Brik Oven - woodfired pizzas (Church Street)

There’s something special about spending a weekend at Bengaluru’s iconic Church Street — the bustling lanes, endless shopping stops, bookstores, cafés, and the vibrant energy that keeps the place alive throughout the day. After hours of walking around with shopping bags in hand, hunger finally caught up with us and we started looking for a comfortable place to sit down and eat.

Our first choice was Brik Oven, mainly because the summer heat made air conditioning feel non-negotiable. Unfortunately, the place was packed and the waiting time was nearly 30 minutes. Most of the other restaurants we considered either didn’t have proper air conditioning or were equally crowded, so we spent some more time roaming around Church Street, clicking pictures, and soaking in the lively atmosphere before finally getting a cosy corner table at Brik Oven.

The wait, thankfully, turned out to be worth it.
We started with their Cheese Garlic Sourdough Bread, which was warm, flavourful, and perfectly balanced with a crisp crust and soft centre. For pizzas, we ordered the classic Margherita and the Farmhouse Pizza along with a few refreshing drinks.

What stood out immediately was the freshness of everything being prepared. The dough was freshly made, the pizza bases were hand-rolled individually for every order, and the pizzas were cooked in a traditional wood-fired oven, giving them that authentic smoky flavour and beautifully charred crust.

The Margherita was simple yet delicious, letting the freshness of the cheese and sauce shine through, while the Farmhouse Pizza was generously loaded with toppings and had the perfect combination of textures and flavours.

The ambience of the restaurant is warm and cosy, making it a great place to relax after a long day out in the city. Despite the heavy crowd, the service was surprisingly prompt and efficient. The only downside was the long waiting time, which is expected considering how popular the place is.
Overall, if you’re visiting Church Street and craving authentic wood-fired pizzas with a comfortable dine-in experience, Brik Oven is definitely worth the wait.

Whenever someone mentions MTR, the first thing that comes to mind is their famous ready-to-cook mixes sitting proudly on supermarket shelves. From rava idli to upma, MTR has been a household name for years. So, discovering that they also run restaurants came as a complete surprise to me. A few days ago, while visiting Bhartiya Mall of Bengaluru, I spotted an MTR restaurant on the ground floor and instantly decided to give it a try. A Busy Sunday Breakfast Spot We visited on a Sunday morning, which is usually the ultimate test for any breakfast place. The restaurant was completely packed — always a good sign when it comes to South Indian food. Despite the crowd, the place was impressively clean, organized, and had a warm, welcoming vibe. The aroma of freshly brewed filter coffee and crispy dosas filled the air, making the wait absolutely worth it. Breakfast Done Right The menu offered a fantastic variety of classic South Indian breakfast dishes. We ordered: Masala Dosa Podi Dosa Idli Wa...
