Melange - Radisson Blu Bengaluru — Restaurant in Bengaluru

I’m generally not a fan of buffet meals as I feel they offer substandard mass-produced food, forcing the person to eat more just because they have paid a bomb. But one fine Sunday visit to Melange for their Bingo Brunch completely changed my perspective on buffets! Located on the first floor of Radisson Blu on Outer Ring Road, Marathahalli, this place is now going to be my first choice for buffets any day!

SHORT REVIEW: This is by far the biggest buffet spread in all of Bangalore. It consists of a wide (read never-ending!) range of breads, cheese, salads, juices, mocktails, cold cuts, soups, sushi, ice creams, desserts, pizzas, seafood, chicken, mutton, rice, noodles, chaats, aapam and what not! The list goes on and on! Easily over 250 items on the menu. The best part? The amazingly shocking pricing. At 1500++, this is by far the most VFM buffet you’ll have. Combine it with the BOGO offer on Saturdays, that makes it 750++ per person! On Sundays, they also have a housie-housie/tambola session free for all the diners where you can win vouchers to the restaurants as well as stay at the hotel.

MUST TRY: Basically everything on the menu, as it is a buffet, but a special mention goes to the Papaya and Cranberry Confit Mousse, the Kaffir Lime Ice Cream, the Smoked Tomato Basil Soup with Garlic Croutons, the Aloo Tikki, Cabbage Roll, Candied Walnut Salad, Labneh, Flavoured Butter, Creole Grilled Bhetki, Wheat Tortellini.

LONG REVIEW: If the short review wasn’t long enough, this one’s probably going to be longer. The amount of food present at the Melange buffet is insane, and you’ll easily need 3 to 4 hours to get through everything, that too only if you have a massive appetite. Despite spending about 5 hours there, I couldn’t try more than 45% of what they had to offer, and trust me when I say this, I had quite a lot!

Talking of the ambiance, it’s a well-lit, spacious place which is not overly fancy or off-putting. While it is a formal setup, it does give you a casual relaxed vibe, which is a good thing. The place is almost always packed, so you may wish to get there early. Also, don’t worry, its not just the elite crowd that comes there, so you don’t have to be worried about being fully decked up to come over.

The Tambola session adds to the overall vibe of the place, and there are many prizes such as 1kg Tiramisu Cake, a voucher to dine in at Melange, a voucher to dine in at Shao, a voucher to dine in at Saffron (all the 3 serve different cuisine styles) and the mega prize of a weekend stay at the same Radisson Hotel.

They serve a unique bottled water that comes from Bhutan. Called VEEN STILL, this water comes in a glass bottle which looks akin to a vodka bottle, and costs a whopping 350 rupees per bottle. Don’t be scared however, they do not charge you for this. Side note, they dispose those beautiful bottles, so leave aside your apprehensions and ask them if you can take a couple of them home, to which they will gladly oblige.

Coming to the service, it was beyond impeccable! The staff were attentive and helpful, and made us feel very welcome. A special mention goes to Nisher, who delighted us with his service. He was so attentive that even when I made a sour face after having a sip of the watermelon ice tea, he immediately came up to me to ask what was wrong.

Now that we’ve spoken of how good everything is, let’s come to what could have been better. The pani puri was average, but then again, who comes to a buffet to gorge on chaats. Next up, the mocktails were a bit of a disappointment. The frozen mojito, their supposed speciality is nothing but a fancier version of a gola, which honestly tasted better when it melted than it was while frozen. The watermelon ice tea was a disaster, but they were quick enough to apologize and offer a fresh replacement.

Overall, I must say I was might satisfied and I’m looking forward to visiting this place again in the near future. Highly recommend!

Melange is undoubtedly one place that every foodie must visit for a lip-smacking dining experience irrespective of the kind you are, be it Vegetarian or Non Vegetarian, they have the best of both worlds to offer .Located on the 2nd flood of Radisson Blu, this place is sprawled over a large area with a sectional live food counter which serves some amazing dishes, each one of which is a must try.I'm glad I went on a gorge on their Sunday Bingo Brunch last week. Playing Bingo for exciting prizes over a brunch, as impressive as it sounds. Who'd not want to win a couple stay at such lavish property with a complimentary breakfast. Excited already?

There's a lot more to it

Melange - Home for One of the Biggest Brunch in Town.

Located on the Outer Ring Road , this Luxury Dining restaurant is part of Radisson Blu Now.... Easy to locate as this property is on the main road itself.

Went for Sunday Brunch where you would see one of the biggest Brunches in Town.. So many varieties of foods to choose from which would make you go confuse & making you wanting to visit more times to explore what see what Melange is to offer .

Having a seating space for around 200 diners, They are extravagant in terms of space & food options. I was informed that they have the back space for corporate events which they use it based on the number of people to match the requirements.

The Spread is so huge & the staff is well trained to attend us through out our brunch. Thanks to the Manager Dig Vijay who explained us the concept behind & made sure everything went well for our table

Being a restaurant located in 5 star Hotel property , Buffet price being 1300+ taxes which came around 1600 .. This is the coolest deal for Brunch.

They also have 1+1 for Buffets on Saturday Lunch & Dinner at 1300+ taxes for two people.. Sweet
