Shezan Restaurant

Nasruddin P A 6 months ago

This restaurant is one of the oldest restaurants in Bangalore, located in the busy Cunningham Road you'll tend to miss while passing through.

They have a limited seating capacity of around 50. The ambience is really good and the owners themselves interact with the customers giving you a homely feel.

This place has one of the best foods I have had in the entire Bangalore. I have tried multi cuisine and never have I been disappointed. My personal favourite is their Steak.

They have valet parking and ample parking space on Cunningham Road. This is a must try restaurant, I recommend it to anyone visiting Bangalore.

Shezan - Is this the best place for steak in the town?

Perhaps a hidden gem for the googler crowd, we found this restaurant from a quora and reddit thread. We were clearly told on the forums that you have to ask for the real deal and the owner, Mr. Altaf will take care personally. Well, with high hopes we travelled to this place and boy, what an evening we had.

We didn't eat much. We were very clear, we wanted proteins.
So right away Mr. Altaf suggested a supreme steak with some garlic bread. When we said we wanted it medium rare, the gentleman got really happy, appreciated our choice and asked us not to order anything right away, rather to taste the steak.

Well, all we can say is we have hit the jackpot of steaks!! Juicy, crisp and charred on the outside, pink and juicy inside - this steak was everything we ever wanted. Paired with the mashed potato and the meat juices (yes, well rested steak my dear sirs/madams), it was heaven in our mouth.

We then tried the batter fried fish , london style. Again a stunner!! This big a fry with that fat a fillet is kind of unheard of for a mere 250-300 odd price in Bengaluru, atleast for us.
But we wanted more of the steak.

So mr altaf suggested another good dry aged steak - newyork style. This smokey one resembled the bbq style meat served in US, but without the meat being doused in tons of some sauce, the served meat was a polished gem of marinated meat beautifully seared on the pan and served perfectly juicy.

The whole time Mr. Altaf personally attended to us, checked on whether we liked the food.

While some think it's intrusive, it's actually not, it's only the perfect amount of presence of the host that results in better selection of dishes.

Overall, we as a couple enjoyed the time, the food, the ambience and overall experience.

So next time when you are in search of steaks, looking for some REAL DEAL, FORGET the pretentious eateries doling out some meat doused with sauces and head to shezan, ask for a good meaty hearty steak and go home content.

Old Bangalore charm with friendly staff and great food. Their Continental and Indian cuisine is super tasty. Have not tried their Chinese.
