The Dome Cafe - HSR Layout — Restaurant in Bengaluru

It is a nice and cozy place with affordable costing for a night out with family.

Detailed review: The dome is chargeable and best to book prior. Pre booking amount is charged. Booking for is around 1 1/2 hours.The dome offers three packages with their own bells and whistles. We booked the basic plan which was for around Rs. 4200 and it included complimentary cake (around 500gms), decorations with balloons of your choice and decor and two complimentary mocktails. The staff follow up on time and even make sure the preparations are done before your arrival. Ambience: The place is on the 5th floor. No lift access and have to use stairs (lift is only till 4th floor). As you walk in, there is the indoor sitting area and the outdoor seating. Domes are placed in the outdoor seating and cozy and warm enough even on a cold chilly evening by Bangalore standards. Domes are clean and well maintained with good lighting for photo opportunities. Food: We tried the kebabs, chicken gravy, naan and noodles here. Specific instructions for less spicy for kids was entertained. Additional food, if any, can be parcelled. However, the same is charged at a nominal fee. As for mocktails, avoid milk based ones as we weren't a big fan. The peach cooler was good. Service: Service was prompt and very friendly staff. They will accommodate your requests and will be available at all times. I assume each dome has their own server and this does help a ton. For us it was Rubel. He was good at his job and ensured that we got the best recommendation for food and drinks. He made our dining experience very good. Follow staff advice on house specials and dish of the day, and you shall be good. We ordered a plethora of non veg snacks and main course. Couldn't get past the snacks and had to take away the main course. Spend: All in all, we spent around Rs. 7000 which includes the cost of booking the dome and food and drinks. This was for a family of three, two adults and a kid. Reasonable considering that all the food was non veg and we ordered more than we could finish. Please bear in mind that the cost of the dome is for the experience. Bill included the service charges.

Now to dispel some myths which i had in my mind after reading fellow reviewers: You can enjoy the cafe without booking the dome as well. However, since its paid and pre booked for other customers, you can not be able to sneak in a picture from inside. Service charge is added to the bill. However, i was informed that the same can be asked to be removed. But it depends on the individual i guess. They are specific about your booking slots. So be on time. You wouldn't want to wait neither should someone else wait for you. In case your time slot is over and you aren't done, they will accommodate you elsewhere without fuss.

All in all, a fun night and a good place with great ambience and worth the cost for the experience. I will surely visit again, maybe not for the dome experience but just the food.

PS: We did not try the hookah. Detailed review after a visiting almost a back. Waited around the much time to see if they are pushy with...

We booked the dome for a birthday surprise followed by dinner for family and friends. The booking was made one week IN advance.

Dome decor - 4/5 Food -2/5 Service - 0/5 Staff attitude - negative CHEFs attitude - negative WORST IDEA TO TAKE GUESTS FOR FOOD THEIR. CAN STILL BOOK THE DOME DECORATION BUT IF U DONT WANT UR GUEST LEAVING WIDOUT EATING PLEASE DO NOT TAKE THEM TO THIS PLACE

Coming to the decor - decent work their, however the domes are too small and over stuffed with balloons and no ventilation so we could not stand for more than 5 minutes even for pictures

FOR FOOD, We order paneer tikka, dragon baby corn and fren fries which were just average. Along with our starters order, we gave order for our main course (dal, paneer sabzi mix veg and breads). The worst service begins here, the waiter served dal and roti and when we enquired about our sbzi he said it's cooking. When we told him that rotis are getting cold and asked to expedite our order on sabzi he said meanwhile u have dal to eat with roti. Then on asking for bowls for dal he said we don't have dal eat in ur plate only. The paneer sabzi was below average and the mix veg was just some cauliflower and paneer in some green liquid.

The mix veg and sabzi was served after all our guests had one round of chapati with dal.

When we reordered rotis it took than more than 30 minutes to bring it and then the waiter brought one kulcha and the kept it in front of my friend and rudely said we do not have any more kulchas it's over (this was told 30 mins after order) . Listening to this we got really upset as our guests were hungry and were tolerating the worst attitude of the staff.

We went to speak to manager and then chef also came out and said mam we r trying to cook some 2-3 rotis for you (TRYING for half n hour?) but stock is over . Then he started giving excuse of election as a reason for delay (which no one understood) and then the chef told us mam ur order was huge (which by the way booked 1 week in advance) and ur ordering in between, although we ordered everything at beginning ( i did not know that in restaurant we have to guess how much everyo

At last the chef started stating, i am managing 15 places, u can look at my insta, and started arguing what not ...

At the end we and our guest have to leave the place widout completing our dinner with souch of...
