phobidden fruit

the food was absolutely delightful - especially the banh mi, vietnamese curry rice, and salads. also there was beer on tap and a pleasant ambience.

a restaurant with good ambience and good food. portion size is good as well. i had a banh mi, summer roll, mekong momos (all veg) and all 3 dishes were good. a place to come back for good food and service.

this place has all my heart ❤️ it is such a peaceful place that just takes you to another world. the ambinace is lovely, and so is the food. vietnamese coffee is a must try. we had it with banh mi and chicken glass noodles, which were perfect in taste !

i’ve had the pho here thrice within the span on two months and they all tasted different. it was good the first two times but the last time was so watered down and i can’t taste any beef/buff flavour. the chicken wings and ribs are good here. the curries are usually too salty. overall it is always a decent meal eventhough it might lack on some fields.

food is amazing! ambiance is amazing.. this place is always full. you need to wait on weekends.. they also have waiting area. the food is delicious.. but they need to improve food portion as comparatively its less. the service is really quick and attractive. the washrooms are clean. no dedicated parking area..

lovely place, with a lot to offer for a vietnamese dinner.

i personally love how easy it is to feel at home at this restaurant and ai guarantee ambience as their main course.

loved the food and the service and their washroom is cleaner than a freshly washed plate!

4 stars because the food is great but can do with slightly better plating for the price.

phobidden fruit is a consistent favourite, it’s a lovely little restaurant on 12th main. the banh mi is excellent - the bread is crusty as it should be. the pork option is excellent but quite heavy, the chicken option is great as well
sambal chicken and lettuce cups are also great.

a nice little place located in indiranagar, we were greeted by a very cute and welcoming ginger cat. it was the first time that we were trying vietnamese cuisine and we chose the right place.
the service is very good as they politely agreed to give us a different table as our original one had lots of mosquitos hovering around. now, coming to the food. we weren't in the mood to experiment to we decided to have the best thing on their menu - pho. we ordered the veg, chicken and prawn pho. it came with 2 dips, a lime wedge, bean sprouts and a bird's eye chilli. the broth was delicious on its own but with the dips mixed in, it became all the more divine. portions are really good too. the only thing that i would complain is that the price is in the higher side, atleast for the items we had. overall, i would definitely recommend this place to one who's willing to try a healthy and unique cuisine.

i had been waiting to visit this place for some time and finally did get an opportunity to do so. the ambience and decor is nice. it gets pretty crowded over the weekends however it's on a first come first serve concept as they don't take reservations. we were seated soon enough. we however had to wait for quite sometime to get someone's attention to take our order and ofcourse had to ask several times for drinking water to be served. i was not at all impressed with the service for a place that falls under a fine dining category. anyway having said that, the food was on point. we ordered the shrimp summer rolls, beef pho, some noodles and shrimp and a strawberry smoothie for my daughter. the summer rolls were fresh, very clean flavours and the dipping sauce is just awesome with pieces of dried shrimp in it! i just loved it!. the pho is probably the best you will get in bangalore. i have had pho where the beef melts in your mouth although this was not exactly like that however it was close enough and i enjoyed every morsel of it! if you are looking for great pho then phobidden fruit is definitely the place u need to be. highly recommend this place for some great food. did not take pics as we were too hungry by the time the food got to our table. i would have given a 5 star rating save for the tardy and inattentive service we received. the food more than makes up for the morbid service though 😊

the most authentic vietnamese cuisine i have tried till date
i have been to many restaurants serving vietnamese cuisine but none came close to this place for a mile.
i ordered :
a) beef pho: mild broth with lemongrass and a side of sprouts and tulsi leaves with lemon, onions and tamarind and tomato chilli sauce.. the beef pieces were a bit chewy and tasted almost like chicken. the noodles were flat styled noodles.. i really loved that broth. a word of advice, if you like your broth to be spicy dont add too much chillies in the start.. add a little bit at first and let it rest in the broth. will help in developing the taste more
b) banh mi: the best thing about this for me was the juicy pork. the juices were running down the moment you took a bite out of it.. the bagette was nicely toasted on the outside and was soft on the inside..
c) monk bean pudding: best way to end a meal. the dessert was nicely balanced with the bit of sourness from the green apples and little bit of sweet from the litches..
overall was a really good experience
two things that i would like to call out
one, the board with the name of the restaurant is. bit small and can be easily missed so be careful to lookout for it while driving
second the restaurant was very dark for me.. they wanted to make a cozy ambience but that only resulted it being dark

when in bangalore, eat the phobidden fruit, absolute favourite place and a must try place, with understated ambiance and the lip smacking vietnamese food. try the vietnamese cold coffee, also the noodle bowls are my top recommendations.

for the best pho in town, please visit this place. absolutely love all of their starters, this is the most calming ambience i have ever been to mostly probably and the flavours are out of the world

i've been going here since the last 7 and a half years and they never disappoint! excellent food, the best vietnamese food in bangalore (possibly the country) and an ever so courteous owner who pays personal attention to diners. i would keep coming here for the rest of my life! you won't notice the drastic changes that happen behind the scenes but i have seen that they have delivered against all odds! kudos!

i've been craving for pho for couple of weeks and a suggestion from a friend, made it to this place for lunch. on the first looks the spaciously arranged tables with few tables lit by sunlight and the shrubs to the side feels good. since my mind was set on pho i didn't look for other items on the menu. on a quick glance they have extensive vietnamese menu. for appetizer we had summer rolls [prawns] and for main course of course pho, i had beef and my friend had chicken. the summer rolls were excellent choice with very good peanut sauce. the pho broth had very good flavors but lacking a punch however with added sriracha sauce got the punch :) . unlike other places the meat to noodle ration was perfect and cooked to my liking. had a piece of meat till the last of the noodles. i would recommend this place and would be coming back again for the pho. my verdict food: 4, ambiance: 4 overall: 4
