Ahara — Restaurant in Karnataka

We went to Ahara @Ottera for my wife's birthday and had a lovely experience. Ambience: To start with ambience is tasteful fusion of traditional earthy elements blended with soft contemporary lighting making the entire dining experience splendid. The decor and jaw dropping rooftop views from 14th floor is stunning. Next, the food is by amazing. chef Shantanu has a refreshing take on relatable recipies but with totally different flavour profiles.. his innovation lay in blending diverse flavors into a subtle delicacies . We specifically loved his his veg dum pulao, tender naans combined with ahaar signature veg sabzi.. His desert combination of gulab jamun, cheese cake and motichoor laddu is subtlely sweet and delightful.. Must say his mango aachars and pomegranate green apple chutney is awesome.

Service is very warm , professional and friendly ..Abhilash Liya. Specifically Deepthi , who also took a beautiful picture of ours, took care of our specific needs and ensured that we were at comfort all through.

Last but the not least, we happened to catch an amazing violinist playing live music inspired by Indian carnatic tunes. His music elevated the entire experience.

Thanks you Ahara and Chef Shantanu for making my wife's birthday a memorable evening. Looking forward to even more fine...

Visited this place for dinner with family.

What I liked

Impecabble service by floor staff. specifically Kapil who did everythig possible to enhance our experience

Great tasting food with nicely balanced spices . We had Nalli Nihari for mains and absolutely loved it. Nothing but appreciation for Chef santanu

Live Indian music (Tabla and Flute ) creates a soothing atmoshere, perfect for a conversation.Great job by performers

They do not offer kids menu but were prompt to suggest and arrange a healthy customized menu.Highly appreciate the gesture.

Comfortable seating and tables

Improvements:

I think the ambience can be further enhanced by some indoor plants .Also, It depends on personal preference.

its a huge place to maintain, chances are one may find a mosquito ot two ;) but staff is quick to resolve such issues.

I would try to improve the placement for tables on the lower deck, beside the glass partition between upper and lower deck. since on a busy day chances are that person sitting on the lower deck maybe able to see the feet of person...

We came back to The Oterra after the hotel FnB manager reached out with an invite for another visit to the hotel based on my previous review of the buffet.

We were happy to invited back and visited on a Saturday night, chose the indian fine dine this time around.

The place felt posh, elegant and perfect for a date night. The menu has a lot of experimental dishes (you may choose to order the usual dishes by consulting with the restaurant staff).

We ordered Patiala di Lassi 🤩🤩🤩 Kachhi Kehri ki sharbat (4✨) Gajar Nariyal soup (5✨) Rajma Galamat (3✨) Mirchi ke Camembat (3.5✨) Kathal Khurchan Dal muradabadi Ulta Tawa Parantha Laccha Parantha (2✨) Angoori Rabdi (3✨)

As you may see, most of the dishes ordered were an experiment and confirmed by the Head Chef as well, we enjoyed some while were not satisfied with some of the dishes ordered and provided our genuine feedback to him as well. Patialia di lassi is really heavy (thickest so far in Bangalore) and really...
