Rashtrakutas — Restaurant in Bengaluru

Rashtrakutas, situated on the 19 Main road at HSR Layout, catches attraction of all pass-byes. So this place was in my wishlist from quite sometime. One Saturday afternoon, I planned to dine-in here. The timing here is 12pm. Being unaware we reached 10-15 mins early, but we didn't have to wait much to get inside, thanks to the manager here. When we entered inside, I loved the ambience. The country style theme with slow music and dim light provides a good atmosphere. Walls reflect the beautiful country side culture. Crowd is very good, mostly family crowd. There's enough sitting area to accommodate quite a good number of people. Coming to food. It claims to serve authentic Karnataka style food. The chicken and prawn starters that we ordered were really good, cooked in authentic home-style, tastes delicious and quite different than the usual restaurant style masala overloaded recipes. The food was served on brass utensils with banana leaf on it, I loved the serving way. Now the main course Time. Here I would give a negative mark for the Mutton Masala. Though the gravy was good,but mutton wasn't properly cooked giving that raw smell. I am not sure if that's everyday's scene. Somehow after finishing the main course, we were waiting for the dessert which was order at the beginning itself. But the staff lacks the coordination so much that they missed to give the dessert and got us the bill. We layer had to ask for the dessert. The gulkand ice-cream was too creamy and tasty. It was drooling as if made from pure milk.

Overall, the experience at Rashtrakutas was good except the Mutton and uncooperative staff. They have a Sunday special Breakfast menu, which I would like to try another day and add it...

TL;DR - Good place to try out South Indian style non-vegetarian food.

Good to know before a visit: Warm ambiance Great non veg options Reasonable quantity

Experience: The restaurant looks grand from the outside and was easy to spot. It was an overall decent experience with the location, food, pricing and ambiance.

Product pricing, quantity and quality - The prices were reasonable for the taste, quality and quantity of food served. The service was reasonably quick, both veg and non veg options were good and they were so generous with the quantity that we had to parcel some back home.

Space - The interiors are spacious and the tables are laid out quite far from each other.

Ambiance - The whole restaurant was built in the shape of a huge hut, and it added to the ambiance. The only negative was that even with multiple air conditioners, the interior was hot enough to sweat a little, and the spiciness of the food didn't help.

Crowd - The place was almost full when we went but we got a table pretty easily.

Navigation accuracy - The navigation was accurate the place is easy to locate even while driving.

Route preference - All routes suggested by Google Maps are accessible easily via...

The most unpleasant experience ever. I’d highly recommend visiting a place elsewhere.

As soon as we entered we were greeted by this unpleasant waitress who had no decency. It’s like u pay to have an unpleasant, bossy, and attitude filed waitress to throw things at you. Not even serve you. This waitress “assigned” us a table—didn’t let us sit anywhere else and was so impolite. After which she spoke to the other staff pointing fingers at us badmouthing us. All because we weren’t comfortable sitting near the entrance and asked her if we can switch. She rudely replied sit here as though we were dogs? I’ve never felt this disrespected ever. On top of which all other servers kept hitting each other in the balls and serve us with those hands. These men who think they’re having fun at work? That waitress had 0 etiquette. When it came to the bill she used her two fingers to hold the bill card and pass it to us. Not on the table. Her face was like she was born angry and rude. This ain’t my first time being here but will definitely be the last. Food was average. But overall u can tell how it was. Save your money and visit another place with better food and...
