01 — Scrolls
The Pistachio Scroll
Enriched dough rolled around a cinnamon sugar filling, so the outer coil crisps and the centre stays soft. Topped with pistachio cream and roasted pistachios. The one people ask for by name.
Bakehouse & café, DLF Galleria
Cinnamon scrolls, cheesecakes and tarts on one side. Focaccia sandwiches, ciabatta bagels and coffee on the other. Sit in at DLF Galleria, or order on Swiggy and Zomato.
Where to start
01 — Scrolls
Enriched dough rolled around a cinnamon sugar filling, so the outer coil crisps and the centre stays soft. Topped with pistachio cream and roasted pistachios. The one people ask for by name.
02 — Focaccia
Rosemary focaccia, split and layered with fresh bocconcini, basil pesto, tomato, arugula and a balsamic glaze. The lunch order most people settle on and stay with.
03 — Bakes
A short butter-pastry shell filled with walnut praline and glazed until it catches the light. Best with something bitter — a cappuccino, or the Vietnamese iced coffee.
The thing we're known for
Not the iced American cinnamon roll — the European kind. Smaller, bread-forward, only lightly sweet, eaten at any hour with coffee. Because the dough is barely sweet to begin with, two of the eight go savoury: marinara and pesto, which almost nobody else in India makes.
All eight scrolls
Cinnamon sugar filling, nothing on top. Order this to judge the dough.
Smooth buttercream piped along the coil, finished with sea salt.
House-made lemon curd. Sharp enough to cut straight through the cinnamon.
Salted caramel glaze, poured so it sets into the grooves of the coil.
Pistachio cream and roasted pistachios. The one people ask for by name.
Biscoff spread and biscuit crumb, for people who already know.
Tomato marinara and melted mozzarella layered through the coil. Eats like a meal.
Basil pesto and mozzarella. Herbal rather than rich — focaccia in another shape.
Coffee & drinks
Pair by contrast, not by matching. Something bitter next to something sweet, something plain next to something rich. Eight drinks, and these are the four combinations worth knowing.
Why we exist
Years of living overseas will give you a short list of things you miss. Ours kept coming back to one item, and it was the one thing we could never find properly once we were home: the scroll.
Not the iced American cinnamon roll — sweet enough to be a dessert and treated like one. The European kind. Bread-forward, only lightly sweet, eaten with coffee at any hour of the day. And because that dough is barely sweet to begin with, two of ours don't go sweet at all.
So Grata is a bakehouse with a signature. Sandwiches, bagels, cheesecakes and coffee, because nobody eats one thing — and the scroll, because it is worth being known for something rather than adequate at everything.
