Ginseng, Royal Orchid Hotels, Airport Road.

Easily, the best Indo Chinese restaurant in Bangalore. It serves delicious Chinese food in a relaxing oriental ambience replete with a Buddha statute. One of our favorite haunts where we do not miss ordering fried veg wontons (Famous Five, as it reads on the menu) with hot garlic sauce for starters. The main course begins with Burned Garlic Vegetable Fried Rice, which is a must try, with veg dumplings in hot and sour sauce. We then look forward to the Chinese special dessert Darsan- which is fried noodles soaked in sugar syrup served with Vanilla ice cream. You can also get to have some fun with fortune cookies which tastes absolutely yummy.

Over the last 4-5 visits we’ve made to this place, we’ve tried many other veg dishes and relished every one till the last bite. This place with its ever smiling staff who even help you in choosing what to eat makes it a place you would love to visit again with family and friends.

Oye Amritsar!

This one is for the Punjabi food lovers. Punjabi starters, main course, drinks, desserts and music, with Punjabi looking waiters to boot. Dim lights and a cool ambience with a dance floor to boot. What do we think? Well, its balle-balle all the way!



On a sultry B’lore evening lassi with malai marke was just the perfect drink- and it was delicious. Bharwan aloo highwaywalle ( potato dumpling stuffed with paneer and assorted veggies) served with pudina chutney was finger licking. Kadai paneer amritsari with butter paranthas and makki roti turned out to be a great meal.

Great place, good food and not frightfully expensive too!
Meal for two- Rs 650

Located in church street road behind Barton Center with Oye Shava on the 5th floor- open roof top and Oye Amritsar on the 4th floor for all the chilling indoors.
