CUR8 — Restaurant in Bengaluru

Safe Gluten Free Eating in Bengaluru

It is very challenging to get gluten free food in India. Besides the very low awareness of gluten intolerance, they also have rampant cross contamination of naturally gluten free grains in the supply chain. Most restaurants use factory ground gluten free grains (30% contamination rate) or factory prepared mixes for convenience. If you need to stay below 20PPM gluten there are very few restaurants that can accommodate this given the supply chain contamination.

CUR8 at the Four Seasons is the only restaurant I have found in Bangalore that can make authentic Indian food that is also gluten free. They have well trained staff that understand glutinous grains and can adapt and modify the menu. They also have the facilities to wash and grind naturally gluten free grains to ensure they are cross contamination free. The fried food is done separately to reduce contamination and they prioritize service so if you have additional allergies they can also take those into account. I got a tour of the kitchen and it is clean and functional for taking care of allergens.

I regularly come to India for business and expect to get glutened and sick. This is the first time I have visited and not had symptoms for a full week. Therefore, I can highly recommend CUR8 at the Four Seasons if you have important dietary needs like gluten that require strict adherence.

Please ask for executive chef Anirudh Amin or Vivek Kalia. They will take extra care to make sure your meal is prepared separately and free of gluten and other allergens. Chefs Chinna, Pitambar, and Ashish Kumar are all very well trained and will do an amazing job cooking gluten free food that also shows unique flavors of South India. And the waiting staff lead by Himanshu (breakfast) and Rakesh Shetty (dinner) will do a great job of introducing the chefs and making sure they understand your dietary restrictions.

After spending a week eating breakfast and other meals at the restaurant I got to know a lot of the staff. Some folks who made the stay enjoyable were Baby Khatoon who is always smiling and watching out for the guests, Poornima who regularly comes down from reception and has a new funny anecdote every day. Rajiv who makes the best Indian chai. And the driver Shivananda who made the journey to the airport safe...

FOUR SEASONS CUR8 BELLARY RD..Hema Here Date Visited 2nd May . THE STARS for me were Manager NITIN and his Team AKSHAY MERCY AND REBEK with their professionalism and politeness....empathising with my every need. Dear NITIN actually visits each Table and ensures we are looked after. His love and light makes CUR8 truly shine. HIGHLIGHT 1st IMAGE....GORGEOUS GRILLING GOING ON here !!!!!!!!. A young talented chef TRANSFORMED a raw piece of chicken with skin on coal to this MOIST MASTERPIECE....A Succulent Surprise. I had to shake his hand in gratitude. BEST GRILLED CHICKEN I HAD IN MY LIFE AND I AM 53 having dined in the UK, USA, FAR EAST, MIDDLE EAST for over 3 decades. The Salad Bar had FRESH SHRIMP so I designed my cold salad with AMAZING ASPARAGUS . The cheese platter had a variety I delighted in. The cold cuts meet international standards. Main course meats are hailed as imports from New Zealand and smoked salmon from NORWAY. THE ROASTS WERE MAGNIFICENT. I am not a pork fan.. but was totally blown away on how the pork slice just melted in my mouth...the fish with a lemon slice was heavenly... I ate the lemon slice too..rind and all !!! ...These prime MEATS are served with their MEAT JUS SAUCE PACKED WITH FLAVOUR. I struck gold here ! Loved how the Roast Potatoes were kept whole, yet thinly sliced as one unit ..best of both Worlds so you just cut each slice as you go along. DESSERTS were EXQUISITE. CHURROS HOT FROM AN OIL PAN....FRESHLY FRIED...just for me. VIVE LA ESPAGNOL Dear Nitin highly recommended the MANGO PHIRNEE ...DIVINE !!!!! Best Phirnee EVER the rice beads were so finely ground like little jewels ..the FRESH MANGO FLAVOUR MY FIRST TRY...THE RASPBERRY TART was my style TRULY TANGY AND VERY VERY BERRY ! The biscuit base it sat on was crisp and buttery. The carrot halwa was just like MY MA makes ..STUNNING...the walnut pie is WONDERFUL. The caramel custard was PERFECTION . The rasmalai was SUPERB. The Belgian Choc Cake was the REAL DEAL too. A NEW FAN as I live nearby... I will RETURN ! A MEMORABLE EXPERIENCE I HOLD CLOSE TO MY HEART. My passion for fine dining led me here. ENDLESS...

Wow, the best Buffet of my life and the most vfm one. After a recent disaster experience at the Leela Palace which is probably the worst 5 star for buffet, and an average experience at Sheraton came here with low expectations. Amazing hospitality even though we were not staying. We came bit early for dinner buffet and enjoyed the Pool ambience which is so luxurious. Coming to the food, the buffet spread was so enormous couldn't try everything. For veg, this is hands down the best place with huge variety. Papadi chat amazing, labnes,hummus snd pita. Live grill, amazing starters both veg n non veg. Lot of unique items, premium items. Chicken fried rice was the best I ever had, a pesto sauce veg item, paneer in basil sauce,Tiger prawn, zuccini pakodas amazing. My daughter enjoyed so much, the staff was super caring of her. Main course also so good. Coming again soon. I loved the desserts best i had in a buffet. Peanut butter pie, mango mint shorbet, raspberry cake, chenna pise. they gave yellow cherries, fresh Cranberry to my daughter. Pasta was good although salt was less. One thing I didn't like was pizza, it was cold even though I asked the chef for freshness. Left it after a bite. Also the barbeque sauce in the grilled fish was too sweet. The fish they said basa but surprisingly it has sharp thorns although...
