We have been waiting for Bindaas to open and were so excited to see the doors open and people inside. We stopped in and sat at the bar for drinks and to sample the bar/lounge side menu.
We had a couple cocktails, both of which were delicious, beautiful, served with flair, and uniquely suited to the menu. The Tamarind Date Margarita was like a kiss and dessert, with a bubble of smoke for ambience. We also had a Blackberry Smash Margarita, but opted to have it made with tequila in lieu of the menu-described vodka—it was still wonderful, rich, and like a farewell to berry season. I also had an oat milk chai, which was an absolute treat on a grey chilly day.
Everything we ordered was both thoughtfully plated and as delicious as it was beautiful: Vegetarian Sushi (mango on coconut rice), Chips & Dips, Chicken Wings with curly fries, and the “Mom’s Love” #Sabudana Vada. We will definitely return for the full menu on the restaurant side another day.
We loved the chill vibe of the separate bar and lounge area—which would be perfect for a group, a date, or anyone who doesn’t care about the tvs or is more focused on conversation and drinks. The music was honestly popping, the decor is a vibe, and between the sofas in the lounge and the rich navy blue contrasted with the tan cane, it feels more like being in the lounge of a top floor hotel than the ground floor off 3rd in Renton. If it sounds like I’m gushing, it’s because I am.
