Bengaluru’s restaurant scene moves fast. Just when you’ve found your regular dinner spot, another opening gives you a reason to change the plan.

This month, the new addresses stretch from Kalyan Nagar and Sadashivanagar to Indiranagar, Jayanagar, MG Road and the city’s growing eastern suburbs. There are chef-led restaurants, new concepts and familiar names finding new neighbourhoods. Looking for somewhere new for date night, dinner with friends or an otherwise unnecessary Wednesday reservation? Start here.

NOBA

Kalyan Nagar has quietly become one of Bengaluru’s more interesting dining pockets, and NOBA is the latest name to join it.

If dinner usually means Indiranagar or Koramangala, consider this a reason to look northeast.

BETTA RESTOBAR

Part restaurant, part bar, it works just as well for a casual meal as it does for the kind of evening that starts with dinner and stays for another drink.

Location - Sadashivanagar

HEYOU

HEYOU joins the ever-growing dining scene around Trinity Circle and MG Road.

Central, convenient and easy to work into an after-office plan, it’s one for those spontaneous “Where should we eat tonight?” evenings.

FOO

FOO brings its pan-Asian menu and lively dining room to one of Bengaluru’s busiest food neighbourhoods. An easy choice for group dinners, casual nights out and those tables where nobody can agree on what they want to eat.

Indiranagar has no shortage of restaurants. The question is which new arrivals make it into the regular rotation.
