India Gate


View Larger Map

Location: 2001, Kattima centre, 100ft Road, Indiranagar, Bangalore - 560038.
Landmark: Adidas showroom, near Domlur flyover
Phone: 415190000, 41519002
Cusine: Awadhi / North Indian
Cost: 900 Rs for 2
Buffet: 225 Rs + taxes

India Gate, a relatively unknown restaurant in the Indiranagar neighborhood, has good ambience matched with sumptuous menu. On the 3rd floor of the building hosting adidas showroom and a Chinese restaurant, Great Wall, one could easily miss this place. Serves north Indian vegetarian and non-vegetarian food, a nice bar along side serves liquor.

Food matches the good ambience, but limited mocktails didn't impress me. Since i went for a lunch, had to abstain from variety of cocktails. Worth a visit, though pricing is on a slightly higher side. Buffet lunch on weekdays is priced at 225 Rs (plus taxes).

My recommendation: There were few people on a Sunday afternoon i went, unlike in other restaurants. Try out this place for nice ambience and good north Indian food on a lazy weekend.

Located on the bustling street on 100ft road Indiranagar, The Village supposedly has the ambience of a village albeit with comfortable chairs and dining area. The restaurant being on the 3rd floor gives a good view with cool breeze. Decent north Indian food for the lunch, with couple of non vegetarian delicacies.

My Recommendation:
When you are bored of your daily lunch at around work you can drop in at The Village.

Phone: 41113377/3553
Cusine: Continental
Speciality: Lunch buffet, and nice bar
Cost: > 600 for 2
Lunch buffet, Rs.125/- per person

Down the old madras road after Big Bazaar you'll find this huge tech park with offices of ADI, Google, Ernst & Young et al. Indijoe's located at this campus, RMZ Infinity, along with various other outlets with food courts, and CCD. A new outlet of the well known Indijoe on Airport road. Serving continental food, this restaurant is the best value-for-money for lunch buffet.
They have pizzas, breads, noodles, fusillis, salads, and various sauces for buffet. They serve a couple of non-vegetarian delicacies. They also have biryani and curd rice in the buffet!

My Recommendation: A decent retro ambience with the option of dining either inside or outside in a clean place makes this a restaurant worth a visit for lunch when you don't have much work at office. :)

Location: First Floor, 612, 12th Main, Indiranagar, Bangalore (919342140520/41521390)

Speciality: Bengali food

How does it feel when the essence one's state can be felt in a totally different place altogether? you will have to ask that question to any bengali who has been to 6 Ballygunge place. Food is the soul of bengalis and they are known for their culinary skills!

Here, you can savour the delicate nuances of Morrollla Maacher Bhaja (batter fried fish), Baingan Bhaja (shallow fried bringal) with Moong Dal with Aam Adaa (mango ginger) and Hot Loochis. You choose from an array of sweet water fishes, Daab Chingri (prawns baked inside a tender coconut). Choices of Pathuri (a mustard and coconut flavoured wrapped in banana leaf and grilled). Mocha (banana florettes), Elish (hilsa) Crab and Prawns will be relished by you.

The dessert when we went today was Mishti Doi... Yummmm!!! :)))))

So, all bengalis out there, you can not miss this chance!

Savour the taste of Bengal in Bangalore. Go to 6 Ballygunge Place!
