Birdie Num Num is located on the ground floor of The Global Foyers Mall on the Golf Course road. It serves food from Pan India. Regional food, dishes from all over India, local dishes of Tamil Nadu, Bhutanese section, More from down south, even coastal food, Kolhapuri cuisine, etc.
Very few dishes are from North Indian. I must confess I had never tasted something like this before. If you want to taste food from other states, then this is a good restaurant to go to.
It is certainly busy during lunch hours in weekdays. They have a Cocktail bar, which has 20 signature cocktails and the list is still growing. They plan to change every 6
months. Recently they introduced 10 new winter cocktails.
I tasted their special Sunday brunch. The Sunday brunch is of 3 kinds. There is unlimited food and unlimited champagne or champagne cocktail. You stay and
eat and drink as much as you can for hours and relax here.

The name and place is inspired by movie Peter Sellers, The Party. In it there is a song that he sings to bird. There is Birdie Num Num scene. It went viral in 60’s. So came the inspiration for the name and then everything was designed around a bird. They have hay infusions at bar. They infuse popcorn with rum, breads- liquid bread- whisky
based, saffron with gin infused. The concept is
very original. They mix nothing
plastic. Everything is being done in house. The idea is to give people
experience. So they kept prices low and experience high. They have mixologist on board. Every day there is tasting
happening. Malts are very cheap. They
have cut down on their profits. Where else can you get Blue label at 999/- Single
malt at 599/- ?
The food here was a new experience for me- a completely new cuisine. I will not say that I fell in love in very first bite but I did appreciate the new concept and the unique thought. If you plan to go for Sunday brunch, go only when you have ample time and you really plan to chill and enjoy the meal.
My rating:

Decor: 4/5
