Restaurants in Bengaluru (Bangalore)

  7. Grasshopper

    Save this one for a special occasion. Some 15km south of town, this leafy boutique restaurant run by a designer couple has no menu; you just have to go by what it tosses up for the day. Besides, you have to book at least a day in advance and inform them about your food preferences. The upside of all this is a scrumptious, heart-warming meal, which you’ll remember for a long time to come.

    Harima

    Practically a home-away-from-home for Bengaluru's expat Japanese, Harima is pretty much on the mark for its atmosphere and Japanese food, including sushi, noodles, tempura and more obscure dishes such as natto (fermented bean sprouts).

    Konark

    This place serves tasty Indian food in colourful, comfy surroundings. The lunchtime South Indian thali is a gut buster; for something less filling, opt for the snack dishes, or eggless cakes and pastries.

    Karavalli

    Mangalore’s some 500km away, but you’ll have to come only as far as this fine-dining spot to savour its famous coastal cuisine. Adorned with dark wood interiors, this classy restaurant at the Gateway Hotel serves some of the best seafood in town.

    Run by the charming proprietor Sue, this Jamaican restaurant has lacy curtains, kitschy plastic creepers and football shirts as part of its decor, and serves Caribbean cuisine to die for. The lunch buffet (Rs225) is not to be missed!

    Walk into this unfussy joint to gorge on sumptuous sizzlers, choosing from one of its many cracking offerings. The downside: you’ll miss that cold pint of beer to go along with the meat.
