oota bangalore

this overpriced -one single holige- cut into pieces, with barely noticeable filling - priced 250/- was a joke.
even with discount, what is thisrestaurantcharging for, their overdressed staff??

great place nice ambience and friendly staff. got good recommendations on to try items and they were really yum.
valet car parking availble and view fromrestaurantis good.

been planning to get to oota for 6 months or more , but finally was able to get to it yesterday. the eagerness to go to oota was doubled also because they won the best/emergingrestaurantof then year award recently. the drive to whitefield isn't a joke , but with the kids sleeping in the car , the travel was less harrowing ..... wanted to get a reservation before landing there and multiple tries din't yield any result in getting through to anyone, so had to ping mandaar sukhtankar to help with it, thus giving away the surprise ... there after i kept getting calls reminding me of the booking - found it a little amusing , but in their defence therestaurantwas also running full.

the ambience is very pleasant and warm , nothing too fancy , but the bells on the top make for a nice change... since i was with family and not knowing the quantity of food served , i stuck to vegetarian fare ( in hindsight , shouldn't have ). menu is on ipads , so a little fancy , would have been nice to even place orders through them ... we chose sabakki vade ( sabudana vada ) - the dil leaves used it it gave it a nice flavour of its own , suvarna gedde kismuri ( fried yam juliennes ) , mangalore buns for starters , batata gassi for mains along with sannas and neer dosa. the kids has benne dosa .... the sannas were extremely light , so was the neer dosa , personally for me i would have liked to eat it with kori gassi ... for dessert we had elaneer payasa. having been used to eating the one in simply south , this one was much less sweeter and more dense (possibly due to rice flour ) ... all in all it was a very pleasant meal , but i think for me the excitement would lie in their non veg offerings which would need another visit for sure ... cost wise , extremely economical given blr rates i've seen .. i would really like to see a sampler platter with a small serving of their different types of offerings per meat variety ... if travelling with kids, they have a cute reading corner where kids may find some means to kill time ... #thegastronomix

oota bangalore - an authenthic karnataka restaurant, service by mahesh was par excellence with very good suggestions to ensure we matched our food well with the right accompaniments. therestaurantwas outstanding loved the decor, simple but a class apart. the food was delicious though the spice levels were little too much for by buds. loved the prawns ghee roast, maddur sabudana wadas were tasty, raggi mudde were excellent, kori chicken curry was very good neer dosas were soft and perfectand even veg potato curry was delicious.

oota is the bestrestaurantin bangalore- menu, taste, quality, service, ambience .... all the items on the menu are just top class. keep up the great work and also the staff are just fantastic!

authentic karnataka food

this place serves amazing authentic karnataka food. you can go here with your entire family and have great time. so far it’s the best ambiance i have experienced, very soothing and very relaxing. thisrestaurantdefinitely has very high hygiene standards. everything around you is very nicely sanitised and they make sure the plates they serve on are kept warm. really liked this aspect especially in covid times. we felt very safe and service was absolutely great.
what we ordered:
gole baje: too good.
prawns ghee roast: need lot of improvement. it was completely bland and no flavours.
sabudana vade: lovely
neer dosa and mutton masala: this was the show stopper dish. amazingly cooked and presented.
ambiance:5/5

i would have given 5 stars but that one star is for the price and the portion size. if that can be worked then it’s perfect.

kudos to the team..! keep up the good work..!

do check ur bill for 10% service charge which will be taken off upon request.

therestauranthad a nice ambience with the interiors having a touch of traditional karnataka. food was of good quality and felt authentic. for starters, we loved the baale huvina ambode and goli bhaji. neer dosa, menaskai combination tasted heavenly.

this is what carefully crafted food tastes like. great qualities of arestaurantwhich is a must try is a curated and short menu. it simply means, the chef has great focus on what he intends to serve the customers. oota bengaluru simply lives upto all the expectations of finesse and authenticity. must try. cannot stress that enough.

i have been to oota multiple times and generally love the place, service and obviously the food.
in the current lockdown period, i was pleased to see that they have started offering delivery as well.
over the last weekend i had ordered it again. as always, the food was cooked to perfection with an authentic and distinct flavor. chicken kundapur, chicken ghee roast, mangalore chicken sukka were exquisite as usual. akki roti and jolada roti were soft, well-cooked with little bit a smokey flavor to give a complete akki /jolada roti experience.
i love coastal food and it's part of my regular diet. i thought this food was by far the best amongst all therestaurantfood. (and that also includes mahesh lunch home in pune - which is considered as great coastal food over there). and then, mangalore fish curry! fish have fishy smell but there us a way to remove the bad fishy smell and retain the good fishy smell. we do that at home. and only a skilled chef can do that magic in restaurant. the curry on its own was excellent - right mix of coconut, spices and tangy taste. the fish in the curry was fresh and perfectly cleaned to ensure it retains the good fishy flavor. a perfect companion to my neer dosa as well as white rice.
a little bit aboutrestaurantservice here -  zomato misplaced the curry from my order. i called uprestaurantto check if they forgot to send. i also called zomato and it turned out that it was zomato's fault. zomato immediately initiated refund for the curry. and then i received a call fromrestaurantand they offered to send the curry! i told them about zomato refund and asked not to send the curry. the good natured and extremely hospitable voice from the other end of the phone insisted and i caved in - for the love of that fish curry. oota prepared a fresh curry and sent one their personnel to deliver that single food item to my house - at no charge!! it was overwhelming for me.
i would give them 7 stars out of 5, if possible!

thisrestaurantis on 7th floor of the building. it has a unique simple and elegant ambience where roof is decorated with temple bells. as soon as you get your table they provide complimentary rice papad with couple chutney to munch on while waiting for the food.

khara kadubu which is rice dumplings and filled with lentil and gram flour but i couldn’t taste any of it because of the dominating taste of a asafoetida.
mangalore chicken sukka was not upto the expectation coconut wasn’t grated well there was few big chunk of it was easily seen.
i liked prawn ghee roast, prawns were aromatic, springy, juicy and nicely cooked with masala.
anjal fish fry was loaded with masala crumps and a strong raw flavour of fish was very prominent may be fish wasn’t marinated well in advance.
khara boti is a very simple dish in which only salt and turmeric goes along with a little ghee and it was very mild and juicy dish.
mutton donne biryani was a usual jeera rice mutton biryani.
malpuri was very balanced in sweet not too much or less perfect balance but portion was very tiny.
gadbad ice cream sundae is a nice way to end your meal.

overall food was good in taste but whole experience couldn’t justify to cost.

great ambience very neat and cleanrestaurantperfect balance of spices authentic karnataka food, i loved anjal fish fry and chicken biryani prawn biryani is also must try, sheer khurma was delicious.

the food here is really good. do try the anjal fish fry, pandi curry and ghee roast chicken the prawns biryani was a bit of let down.
but the poor rating is solely because of the poor service. drinks ordered were assumed cancelled by the waiter whereas we were waiting for it for more than 30 minutes. most of the staff's attention was on a group of 20 people or so who had pre-booked a section of therestaurantfor corporate lunch.

i somehow never enjoyed their service and food. if you are new to south india then it might be ok. all starter items for veg are deep fried and other items are also using a lot of oils. i always have heartburn when i have food there. also, container they use for parcel is the cheapest one with aluminum container with paper lid which doesn’t look like the quality i payed for the food. i also felt uncomfortable from their service in the way they are “too” proud to be serving karnataka food. instead of just saying no, they were like “we prefer to do blah blah because that’s what we do in karnataka”. i felt humiliated asking something extra which people in karnataka don’t do.
sorry for the low score and negative points on this restaurant. but wanted to share since thisrestaurantseems to get high reputation but i really don’t find something extraordinary other than the view from balcony.

visited this place with colleagues. ambience at its best. never been to any south indianrestaurantwith such great ambience. totally kartanaka cuisine food. menu was in ipads. each dish clearly had the description and map pointing out to the place it is from. a bit expensive. mango delight(4/5). tried goli baje, managalore buns, maddur vade(4/5). couldn’t recall few names, heard them for the first time. overall it was worth visiting.
