Panchamrut, The Sattvik Restaurant — Restaurant in Karnataka

Me and my wife went to this restaurant for lunch today. I put it on Gmaps. It showed a road, I was also looking for direction boards outside-there were none. The Gmaps took me to one of the many of AOL's gates. A guard stopped and told restaurant entry is a different road. I took the road he told and again there were no direction boards... I ended up in another gate. The guard there stopped and gave me directions with which we finally reached. Till here it was not entirely restaurant's problem.

We parked and went inside. Inside the restaurant is a central area and a peripheral area. Central area was reserved for some party. We sat in the peripheral section. After 10 mins the waiter came. By this time the party was over and almost all the people had left. We were the only people seated to have food.

We asked for menu, he went and never came back. Caught him again when he came to take the bill to a neighboring table and asked for menu. 5 mins later, he came with menu. After handing it over to me, he said only thali is there nothing else!! (He could've told this much earlier). I said "get me two Thalis". I asked if he has something to drink to which he told buttermilk is available. I ordered two of those too.

10 mins later he came and said..."can I take your order?". I said we ordered na...two Thali and two buttermilk. He asked "did I take the order?". I said "Aap hi ko bola bhai". He went back. We had started our course...the course of "Art of waiting". After 20 minutes, came our Thali.

When the Thali was given, we asked for drinking water. He told he'll get it. After 5 mins we reminded once again for water and buttermilk.

Even after we had finished the tiny sized Thali...there was no sign of either water or Buttermilk. They definitely should undergo some course in the art of hosting guests and the art of serving food

Alll dishes tasted good but was almost cold.

We decided not to have buttermilk and went to the billing counter to pay. By this time some more people had come.

That's when we saw that all the thali items were being scooped out of the Party buffet spread. From Salad to all the 3 sides...probably he took so much timebto get us the Thali because he was waiting for all the party guests to go out so that he can scoop out all the dishes.

₹315 for this Thali of is nothing but the perfect art of looting.

I'd rate 2/5...out of that 2, 1 would be for the nice building and open lawn...

This place is located at the Art of Living center, Bengaluru. It is owned and wholly run by Art of Living center and most of the supplies needed for the restaurant are provided by the organic farms of the center itself.

You can have delightful meal in a Calm and peaceful atmosphere. The greens give a relaxing ambiance and allows us to enjoy the food from heart.

They do not have a fixed menu for the Thali but you get quick bites and juices all day long. Thalis are restricted to certain number after which only à la carte will be available.

We tried their Thali as we would get to taste a variety of items. They always have a healthy yet exquisite food and is crafted to fill our hearts. Dishes we had on our Thali: Quinoa mixed veggies Soup Cabbage salad Stir fried Flat Beans Veg Curry made from Coconut milk Dal fry Roti Coconut rice

We 1st ordered some healthy juice; we were told that we should have our meal at least 20 minutes later. This comforts our stomach to have the main course.

Coming to main course, indeed the Thali was looking great and appealing. We first started with Quinoa mixed veggies soup. Healthy Quinoa, cooked properly, tasted really well with the veggies. You can always adjust the taste with the help of salt and pepper.

We were surprised by Cabbage salad! It was crisp as lettuce, marinated in a secret blend made by them. It had a dash of orange flavor in it.

Second dish which was surprising to see on the plate was Flat Beans. PS- If it is not cooked properly then it would taste bitter. Hence many ppl shun these dishes from their menu. But here it was perfectly cooked when served.

Coconut milk curry, was little sweet to taste but it was light and tasty and so was coconut rice.

The price of the Thali is Rs.250 (including taxes) and other dishes ranges from Rs.180 to Rs. 250. The staff were very courteous and knowledgeable about the dishes. We totally loved the dinner. We even had a wonderful time interacting with other guests around. Jai Guru Dev!

This was our experience at Sri Sri Tattva Panchamrut; do visit this place and let us know your thoughts and feedbacks! Cheers!!...

The service is pretty quick so that deserves at least four stars, however it will depend on the amount of people. It is such a gorgeous restaurant, with an open indoors, which has to windows and is open to the outdoors. It is really fancy, comfortable, and pretty. However, the food isn't satisfactory, especially not for the expensive price. I stayed for Navratri, which is when they have a buffet for dinner, lunch, and breakfast. The buffet is something like 400 rupees per person and totally not worth it. At the same time I was undergoing an eye treatment, and was required to eat red fresh fruits in the morning. The fruit salad wasn't fresh it was from the previous day, and absolutely disgusting, bananas were brown and mushy, same with the apples. As well as that all the bread dishes were stale as, the bread was like the texture and firmness of a tennis ball. Disappointing. The only thing I liked were the pancakes. yum The chefs know their way with pancakes, and I could eat the pancakes all day! Also, the restaurant is really helpful if you are doing the ayurvedic eye treatments at AOL Sri Sri Tattva Panchkarma which is like a minute's walk from Panchamrut because they make all the neccessary juices you have to drink for your treatment so helpful in that way. The food excluding the buffet isn't actually that bad though, just that it has completely dropped in quality. Buffet doesn't have enough choice either. One last thing though, they had a notice saying something like "support us in using disposable cutlery to save water due to extensive washing, support us in our environmental support" I didn't actually see any disposable cutlery while there, but what utter nonsense it that. Absolutely ridiculous and I was disgusted by how they thought that disposable, plastic, cutlery was 'better for the...
