Brea at KIA is a perfect stop to pack some baked goodies for loved ones back home or just carry baked goodies for friends. There's something nostalgic associated with bakeries and travel in my family we never miss a chance to carry the local bakes to where ever we travel and share it with friends.
Brea roti is a butter goodie, crispy on the outside, lite, soft and buttery inside...

Hazelnut and chocolate croissant rolls 

Jam Rolls

I've always been a fan of windmills beers and starters. Something special about windmills located in KIA.  Windmills has six beers on tap (three by Windmills and three by Giest)

I was impressed with the menu they have showcased millets, gluten free dishes at the same time featuring our local karnataka ingredients to international and domestic commuters, everyone can get to taste local ingredients upcycled to gourmet style.

We got to taste scrambled egg sandwich with cheddar cheese and caramelized onions. Millet pancakes with chocolate granola and nuts, Turkish kababs on a bed of salad, Pizza margarita (heavenly must try), Avalakki (Poha) Crumb coated malai paneer, Tiramisu. 

Try their beer samples first, I personally narrowed down to three best picks Lager, IPA and  Stout Must try beers.

We also enjoyed cocktails my pick was Brine Damage paired perfectly with starters.

Dessert is a must try if your in windmills they serve best tiramisu and Sticky toffee pudding.

Decadent chocolates to pastries and sushis, Smoor has covered it all at KIA. People always keep asking me for luxury chocolates, specially my expat clients now I can proudly point out at smoor and ask them to take some home. What a lovely experience we had at smoor, tasting some of the most richest and creamiest centered chocolates from their line.

42 Pieces Assorted Chocolates perfect gift for someone you love!
KIA is not just for travellers but its a destination for bengalureans. The entire set up of high end retail to F&B and variety of features around the Quad and Terminal was truly a experience. 

Many people visiting India for the first time can get a slice of it at the airport itself while many travelling from bengaluru can grab some goodies and relax for a good beer or two then proceed with their travel. Apart from travellers the focus was on visitors who come to pick their loved ones and also people who want to take long drives and enjoy a couple beers and good quality food can head to KIA.
