The best place in Indiranagar. Spacious and classy to say the least..it's located in a beautiful pyramid shape building. The moment you step in , you are transported to a different world. Not just the ambience, the music , the food, everything about this place is worth raving about. Went there for dinner on Monday last week with a group of friends and had a great evening. The music is soothing so you can actually hold a conversation while enjoying your meal. They have 3 levels but my favorite part was the upper level which has pods where you can relax and unwind.
Coming to what did we try:
Drinks -
Had an assortment of bar man special cocktails and mocktails and loved the drinks ; they were not sugary like a lot of other places ; perfect in terms of taste and presentation
Food -
If you are a Sushi or Dimsum lover, they have unlimited sushi and dimsum for 999+ during the lunch hour ; we missed that but ended up trying the following:
Avocado California Roll - It was picture perfect and the roll tasted delicious Spinach and Corn Dimsum - Thin outer coating and cooked to perfection ; this just melts in your mouth Feta, Pear and Oasis Sun-Dried Fig with Walnuts Salad and Smoked Royal Chicken Caesar Salad - Couldn't believe that salad can be so scrumptious. It was the best salad I have had to date. Assorted Mushroom Croquettes - Crunchy and tasty ; the mushroom could be felt and tasted great Falafel with Coriander & Pumpkin - Another great innovation which blew me away ; must try Baby baked stuffed mud crabs - People who had this couldn't stop licking their fingers ; it was truly a signature dish Thai Fried Rice - Spicy and infused with flavours South Green Thai Curry - Thick and delectable ; the lemongrass flavour was just perfect Spaghetti with vegetables - Cooked to perfection and loved the presentation and taste
As for the desserts, you will fall in love with the offerings. We tried the :
Warm Sticky Toffee Pudding - It is perfectttttt ..I could easily polish off one on my own Fruit Tart Du Jour - The biscotti and strawberry makes this a great eat Belgian Chocolate Fondant - Again a great dessert to dig into

FOOD Thai veg green curry was my favorite, served with Jasmine rice. Had ample of greens and broccoli, apt in coconut flavor and with light consistency.
Tradi Burmese know suey, loved it, however it was not much on the coconut flavor.
Tiramisu was average and had a pungent after taste.
Belgian Choco fondant was a regular Choco lava cake served with ice cream, was soft and had a great texture.
Paris breast with moouse, my favorite dessert from here and in a long time. It's a must try.
Shitake and chives dimsum had rich mushroom flavor and sticky outer skin, loved it. The spinach, corn and cheese dimsums however stole the show, absolutely rich in corn and light in cheese, very delicious.
Smoked garlic and onion tart had base of mushrooms and caramelized onions on top, again a superb preparation from their side. However the tart was too easily breakable and difficult to move around.
The cheese fondue was super yum, came with garlic bread crust cubes and potato wedges, very delicious and served with hot fondue sauce.
The smoked veg sushi here is to die for, no where else I enjoyed a shushi dish as much as I did here.
SERVICE and COSTING The place comes on medium expensive side, in line with other brands. Service is good, staff is good in number and well versed with the menu. Had...
Β Β Β Read moreAs I entered Arena, I was awestruck by the trippy interiors. The pyramid shaped roof beautifully lit, the long bar counter with "Cheers" put up on the ceiling and the statue of Jhonny Walker makes the place LIT. It's spread across 3 floors, each of them having different decor. Had the opportunity to experience each floor as we sipped on our cocktails and munched on some Pan Asian cuisine.
Level 1 has a vibrant decor with some high stools and the regular tables along with pretty cushions having quotes on them. Level 2 is the main dining space with comfortable seating. They have long n small tables. Level 3 contains 4 pods. Which accommodates 10-15 ppl per pod. Best place to have private parties.
The food was made to perfection and also the plating. Not being a sushi fan, when the sushi was served I wasn't really excited to have them. But as I ate the sushi, I cannot tell you how amazing they were. The best sushi I've had so far. π£ Tempura Vegetables: very crunchy and filled with veggies. π£ Spicy Yellow Gin & Tuna: rolled with sesame seeds & avocado topped with miso mayo. π The Mushroom Croquettes: these were heavenly! Very cheesy n just melted in the mouth. π Red Snapper Fish Cakes: this was tiny yet yummy. Was served with thousand island. Tradi Burmese Khoa Suey: This is made of coconut milk, filled with noodles, chicken, veggies, peanuts etc. π² Thai Green Curry Chicken: Thai curry is one of my favourite pan Asian dish. It was served with Jasmine Rice. π« Belgian chocolate Fondant: this was a bliss! The amount of chocolate oozing out was a treat to the eyes and the tongue. It was served with vanilla ice cream n spiced fig. πΈLa Vie En Rose: Gin based with litchi, rose grape shrub and has a floral touch to it. πΈ Love me or Leave me: Gin based cocktail with lime and cucumber n pickled carrot.
Excellent hospitality and had an amazing time. Coming back soon to try out more!
They also have an unlimited lunch (sushi & dimsum )...
