The Diner Restobar — Restaurant in Bengaluru

The Diner in Whitefield is a simple and easy-going resto-bar that you can drop by on a regular basis without worrying about burning a hole in your pocket. The interiors are quite basic — a mix of indoor seating, bar counters, and an open rooftop/patio section. It’s not fancy or themed, but it has a comfortable, relaxed vibe suitable for casual evenings with friends or colleagues.

One of the highlights is their dance area, where guests can even play their own music — a rare and fun touch for a laid-back night out. The restaurant also offers ample seating options — whether you prefer sitting indoors, at the bar, or outdoors under the open sky.

As mentioned, the place is light on your pockets, which makes it a good choice for frequent visits. However, service can be a bit slow, and getting the attention of the servers might take a few tries. That said, we eventually got what we needed, so it didn’t dampen the experience too much.

Coming to the food — there were hits and misses. The light sundal fry and chicken liver fry were the clear stars of the evening — simple, flavorful, and delicious. But most of the other dishes lacked balance in preparation and taste. The honey chilli potato was overly sweet, the malai broccoli was too wet and soggy, and the nachos were dry, with even the salsa missing its punch.

Overall, The Diner is a budget-friendly place to hang out, dance, and unwind with friends. Don’t go expecting gourmet-level food, but if you’re looking for a relaxed and affordable evening out with some good starters and a casual vibe, this spot...

I had visited this place with my friend on Friday and we ordered the chef special which was a chicken recipe on that day. We were under the impression since this is a chef special, it should be good. But the order turned out to be utter disaster. Since it was late in the evening, we did not think of leaving the place to go else where for food. We then ordered a common recipe of butter chicken hoping they should not mess this one up atleast. It turned up to be better than the earlier order but was just average. We asked for the bill and to our surprise, they added service charge which is completely illegal. They did not even notify us of this charge and we noticed it after the payment was done. We then asked them to re-imburse the amount, to which they gave stupid excuses, but ended up not able to justify the amount. In the end they mentioned they will not be able to refund it then itself as that needs to be initiated by the DIRECTOR of the place ( totally lame) and will be done next day. Till now it is not credited and they do not pick up the calls as well. Even though the amount is small , but given the poor food quality and the illegal way in which the amount was charged, it feels like a loot. Will never visit this place again. Locall food.. really...
