Smash Guys open their first outlet in Bengaluru with smash burgers, shakes and an unmissable Old Monk chocolate mousse
Bengaluru's love affair with burgers goes back a long way. Way back when we had popular burger joints that became city favourites such as Indiana, Ice and Spice (now known as Truffles), The Only Place, Peppa Zing and Cafe Thulp. Post the pandemic there has been a new wave of burger establishments that have refined the dish and are trying to take it from fast food to an elevated experience. Smash Guys started with this aim. The brainchild of brothers Nikhil and Abhijit Gupta, and Adithya Kidambi as chef consultant, the brand began hosting pop-ups. The first one being at the Conservatory in March of 2024. Now they open their first outlet on the swish 12th Main Road of Indiranagar. The interiors of the restaurant are designed like an American-style diner. Chequered floors, marquee signs and wooden furniture. I take a seat at the bar, getting a ringside view of the busy kitchen. It is six in the evening, and they have just opened their doors, but there is already a crowd. Their popularity is based on word of mouth from their pop-ups and a strong social media presence. What is a smash burger? Abhijit researched American burger history for two years to create this menu. 'We started with a simple idea — to bring world-class smash burgers to India. From the traditional Oklahoma onion smash and the OG cheeseburger, to our signature whopper and Elvis Presley's favourite peanut-butter-bacon burger, we are paying homage to burger styles that hold a piece of history,' he says. A smash burger is an American style of burger. It is made by cooking a smashed burger patty on a flattop grill at high heat. It is said that in the 1960s, a cook at a restaurant in Kentucky pressed a ground beef meatball to a thin crispy patty, and the smash burger was born. The flattened patties absorb more flavour and have more texture. These are then topped with onions or cheese. The menu On the menu at Smash Guys are these smash burgers, available in buff and lamb options, veggie and chicken burgers, sides, shakes and desserts. First, the sides. I see the classics — onion rings, fries, corn ribs, Ceasar salad and wedges. I try the corn ribs, the thin slices of corn on the cob are rubbed with a spice mix and served with a garlic sauce. I miss the days when burgers came with a side of fries, so I order them separately. The parmesan fries are decent, but the truffle dip saves them. Now the burgers. The meatballs are cooked on a hot plancha (iron griddle). The edges are crispy, and the insides are juicy. The OG smash burger is made with a double patty, onions, cheese and mustard. Simple and clean, served atop their in-house made sesame buns. The brisket burger has a buff patty that is topped with a slow cooked brisket. 'We sear the brisket and slow-cook it for eight hours to lock in flavours,' says Abhijit. It is topped with the signature smash sauce. The Flintstone is a buff burger served with a torched bone marrow. The smoked butter whopper is cooked in homemade smoked butter, giving it another dimenion. If it is all sounding a bit meat heavy, their veggie options are good too. The Korean fried paneer burger has flavours of gochujang and chimichurri. The magic mushroom burger is made with crisp oyster mushroom, roasted button mushroom, togarashi flakes, pickles, lettuce, truffle oil, truffle mayo. Decadent. I pair my meal with a diner-style strawberry milkshake, mainly for the vibes. The drink is sweet and served in a tall milkshake glass. I end with the highly recommend Old Monk chocolate mousse. The silky mousse is made with dark rum, and the dish is topped with whipped custard and cocoa dust. The hints of flavours from the rum elevate the dish, even for a non-Old Monk lover like me. The menu is balanced with experimental options and classics. The team's love for burgers is evident in the menu. The restaurant is loud and crowded, and the service is fast, but chaotic. Hoping these will settle down in the next few months. Cost for two ₹1,500. At Indiranagar. For more details, call 8762109796

Day of the Week : Tuesday ____________________________________________________________________________ Today's Fast/Festival Shani Jayanti Shani Jayanti is celebrated in Hinduism as the birth anniversary of Lord Shani Dev, who is revered as the deity of justice and karma. On this day, devotees observe fasts, offer prayers, and present offerings like oil, black sesame seeds, black clothes, and blue flowers to Shani Dev. It is believed that worshipping Lord Shani on Shani Jayanti can reduce life's difficulties, obstacles, and planetary afflictions such as Sade Sati or Dhaiyya.

Anger and negative thoughts. Wake up during Brahma Muhurat. Mix black sesame seeds in your bath water and bathe. Wear clean clothes, preferably in black or blue, which are considered auspicious. In your home temple, place an idol or image of Shani Dev, and offer mustard oil, black sesame seeds, black gram (urad dal), cloves, and blue flowers. While pouring oil over the Shani idol, chant: 'ॐ शं शनैश्चराय नमः' (Om Sham Shanaishcharaya Namah). Recite the above mantra 108 times Sit with devotion at home or in a temple and recite the Shani Chalisa. Read or listen to the Shani Jayanti Katha .

Conclude your fast by consuming the prasad. Jyeshtha Amavasya holds immense spiritual and religious significance in the Hindu calendar. On this day, if one performs sacred bathing, donations, tarpan (ancestral rites), and worship with sincerity, they are believed to attain relief from sins and blessings from their ancestors. This day is dedicated to the Pitru Devtas (forefathers) and is also observed as Shani Amavasya, as it marks the birth of Lord Shani. Hence, its astrological and religious significance is greatly enhanced. Begins: 12:11 PM, 26th May Ends: 08:31 AM, 27th May Wake up early and take a holy bath.

Facing the East, offer Arghya (water offering) to the Sun God. For the peace of your ancestors, offer tarpan with kusha grass, sesame seeds, and water. Perform pind daan with the help of a priest. Light a lamp under a Peepal tree, offer water, turmeric, vermilion, and flowers. Do 7 or 11 circumambulations (parikramas) around the tree. Jyeshtha Amavasya holds deep astrological relevance as it is governed by the energies of both the Moon and the Sun. On this day, the Moon is completely invisible, making it a powerful time for emotional and mental tithi (lunar phase) is ideal for pacifying ancestral karmic debts and resolving hidden planetary imbalances. The Jyeshtha month, being hot and intense, aligns powerfully with Shani Dev, the slow-moving, secretive planet of day's rituals are particularly beneficial for: Reducing Pitru Dosha, Shani Dosha, Kaal Sarp Dosh, Easing past-life karmic effects and Promoting peace and balance in life.
