The old school English pub in Royal Orchid hotel which was once called Geoffrey's is now revamped and relaunched with the name Jeff's. The vintage decor and wooden tavern style interiors is bound to leave you impressed. Major focus here goes into the drinks and bar bites with appetizers. But they do serve some main course and desserts, upon special request from the guests. Me and my wife visited this place on a Saturday night which was quite happening. When you are here, do ask for Rishabh who not only gives the best suggestions for drinks and food, but he will make sure you will have a spectacular time. The cocktails which he recommended were simply excellent. We started off with Sidecar, which is a Brandy based cocktail, quite soothing and chilled. My wife went for a hot toddy which really worked best for her sore throat. I did try the Orange G&T which was something extraordinary. For all G&T lovers, I would definitely recommend this drink. And not to forget the Irish Coffee, which was a concoction of whiskey base topped with cream. It had the prefect blend of coffee and whiskey. From the food, we started with some crispy and sweet Lotus root along with Thread fried Schezwan Chicken. This really was a treat and goes perfectly with the drinks. Also do not miss out on the Achari and Lahsooni paneer tikka. Such soft and succulent Paneer cubes that melt perfectly in your mouth. Apart from this, the fish and chips impressed us the most. Crisp on the outside and super soft on the inside, the fish was a real treat. Chicken Tikka pizza was decent too and fish fingers were quite remarkable. We did try their signature dessert - Orange Kulfi which was one of the best Kulfi I had in a long time. The presentation of this dish was on point. Finally, we did do a round of shots with the Kamakaze, blend of vodka, triple sec and lime and the B-52 (kahlua, triple sec and Baileys) shooters. If you are in a mood to party, you are going to want those shooters. Service was super prompt and the staff is polite and professional. Prices are not very much on the higher end considering the delicious food and refreshing drinks they serve. A special thanks to Mr Sagar and Deepak for making our...
Read moreYou walk into Jeff's and you are instantly transported to those cozy English pubs oozing the old world charm. That itself sets the vibe for this place and you kinda know what you will be expecting. The walls are adorned with quirky posters, one of a kind lighting and the leather bound seating adds a nice touch to capture the vibe of the place. I feel it's perfect for a hangout with your close circle as the booths provides you the right amount of space to catch up while you try some of their dishes. The menu surprised me as I saw a lot more options than what I was expecting! Do try their thred fried shchezwan chicken which is one of a kind with crunchy coating and succulent moist chicken inside. Chicken Tikka had the right balance of spices and was cooked without making the meat to go dry which is a win win. They also have lot of Asian cuisines to offer like dimsums and wontons and these are perfect muching companions while you try their classic cocktails or beer as you wish. In cocktails would highly recommend their signature flaming Lamborghini which lives up to all the expectations. Overall this is a perfect option if you want to avoid over crowded spaces and want a more personalized space. I had a lovely time here!

Read moreIn the purest English pub style, Jeff's offers you in a welcoming place, a varied and rather tasty cuisine. The cocktails are well made, and as I was invited for the re-opening, the bill was really cheap ... Thank you Chirag and the whole team! As very often in this kind of place (bar of a 5-star hotel ...) the welcome is impeccable, the service very satisfactory.
If you are visiting Bangalore for the first time, and you do not stay in the adjoining "Royal Orchid" hotel, you will certainly not have time to take a tour ... There are plenty of other choices, and the Jeff is a bit off the beaten path. If you live in Bangalore or stay there for a long time, this place can become your refuge.
I only regret as a biker, to be directed straight to the parking for two-wheelers, which fortunately is not as I already saw, next to the trashes or at other ends of the building. The proximity of the parking "Two Wheelers" is an asset even if I fear that it will be necessary one day, that the valets also start parking the motorbikes ...
That said, the garden is excellent, all very satisfying, and as I have a friend, I will return to Jeff with...
