Green Theory Residency Road

If you’re looking for a few quiet hours with good food, then look no further than the Green Theory. Although their main menu is pretty dope, the seasonal vegetarian menu (which includes baby corn cigars and almond soup) has become more popular lately. Also, the seating area has tons of greens. So unlike most startup plans, this place has definitely managed to put their ‘theory’ into practice.

Must Try: Baby Corn Cigars, Almond Soup Location:15, Convent Road, Near Residency Road, Bangalore Timings:12 noon – 9:30 pm Cost For Two (INR): ₹950/-

Sly Granny – The Community House Indiranagar

Perfect for a Sunday brunch, the Sly Granny is a charming little restro-cafe. We recommend ordering their global platters and European dishes like avocado tacos, plantain, and pita pockets. You’ll find a lot of early risers in Bangalore (now an endangered species) head there for breakfast. No wonder why the Sly Granny is the best thing that happened in Indiranagar, followed closely by Rahul Dravid losing his cool in that viral ad.

Must Try: Walnut Pie, Egg Benedict Location:618, 3rd & 4th Floor, HAL 2nd Stage, Indiranagar, Bangalore Timings: 12 noon – 1 am Cost For Two (INR): ₹2,500/-

Forage Fit Food Indiranagar

Forage Fit Food is a haven for a farm-to-table dining experience. Run by husband-wife duo Rajnish and Mayura, they collaborated with Chef Himanshu Dimri to reduce the ecological impact of their meals. And without compromising on great taste. Interesting how even in a cutthroat business city, the good folks at this place are inspiring better habits for people, no?

Located in the new culinary hub of Bangalore, the Arirang offers an authentic Korean experience. You can kick start your meal with the chicken barbeque starter, and head to the japchae (glass noodles) or the beef bibimbap for the main course. For desserts, try ordering their signature watermelon dessert. The only thing that can get you high on watermelons after Harry Styles.

Edo Gardenia Residency Road

A fine-dining experience at the EDO is as exciting as watching your favourite Japanese anime. You’ll find a lot of elegant Japanese dishes like sashimi, tempura, grilled veggies and of course, miso soup. Honestly, the soups served at this place will warm your soul like nothing else in the world. Not even watching Sasuke showing the tiniest bit of affection towards Sakura (only true Naruto fans know that feeling *sigh*).

Smally’s Resto cafe is a popular hangout spot for college kids. Also, working professionals who can’t stop holding on to their favourite time of their lives i.e. time spent chilling with their batchmates and hogging on good food like nobody’s business. On top of that, the peppy decor and packed crowd will remind you of those small cafes in Old Manali. Or for folks who are more used to traveling in the south, the ones in Ooty.

Mavalli Tiffin Room Lalbagh Road

The Mavalli Tiffin Room offers pure Kannada cuisine. Despite being around for decades and trendy eateries moving in the neighbourhood, it’s still pretty old-school.

Unlike Indian railways, your orders will arrive just on time in MTR.

Khan Sahib Indiranagar

If kebabs and tandooris are your first language, then head to Khan Sahib. You should try ordering their mutton seekh kebabs and tandoori prawn rolls. Or the signature tandoori mushrooms that are an absolute treat too. So the next time you find yourself in the midst of a heated debate about who’s the most talented Khan (among Aamir, Shahrukh, and Salmon), tell them it’s none other than Khan Sahib residing in Indiranagar.

Suryanwanshi Off Double Road

Another one of the top restaurants in Bangalore, Suryawanshi is known for a variety of South Indian cuisines. Like Malvani, Kolhapuri, and Konkani. But they’re equally great at serving some lip-smacking Mumbai street food. Basically, spending an evening at Suryanwanshi is the quickest way to travel to Mumbai. Even if you do not have the much-needed approval of Anu Malik.

Designed like a typical comic book, every page is filled with loads – we mean – LOADS of pop culture references.

Exactly like those Youtubers dropping ‘breakdown’ videos right after a new Marvel trailer is released.

Barbeque Nation needs no introduction when it comes to buffets. Although the atmosphere is like the rest of the outlets across the country, the one in Kalyan Nagar has loads to offer in South Indian cuisine.

Toscano Jayanagar

If you’re looking to explore Italian food, then Toscana is where you should go. The place has the ambience of a typical European cafe. And the menu includes their perfectly cooked pesto rubbed carpaccio, duck confit salad, and filet mignon de carne. Also, the presentation is so perfect, you’d want to bring that plate back home and keep it as a centerpiece of your living room decor. No kidding.

Must Try: Kahlua Mousse, Bruschetta Platter Location:2nd Floor, UB City, Vittal Mallya Road, Near Lavelle Road, Bangalore Timings:11 am – 11 pm Cost For Two (INR):₹1200/-

Rajdhani Thali Restaurant JP Nagar

Rajdhani Thali is a sought-after name in the restaurant industry. Mostly because of their mind-boggling Marwadi food. The buffet features 8-12 main course items, 5-6 starters and 3-5 delightful desserts. Plus, the dining culture will remind you of your trip to Rajasthan right away. In fact, you might even hear a sarangi tune playing in your head out of nowhere. Like your ex popping up in your mind every time you see something romantic. Ok, ok, we’ll move on.
