phobidden fruit

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. aplaceto come back for good food and service.

thisplacehas all my heart ❤️ it is such a peacefulplacethat 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 !

food is amazing! ambiance is amazing.. thisplaceis 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..

a nice littleplacelocated 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 thisplaceto one who's willing to try a healthy and unique cuisine.

i had been waiting to visit thisplacefor 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 aplacethat 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 theplaceu need to be. highly recommend thisplacefor 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 thisplacefor 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 favouriteplaceand 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.

i've been craving for pho for couple of weeks and a suggestion from a friend, made it to thisplacefor 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 thisplaceand would be coming back again for the pho. my verdict food: 4, ambiance: 4 overall: 4

this is one of the bestplaceto hangout with your family and friends ,there are certain points why i loved this place❤️

greatplacefor vietnamese food. while there is an indian twist to the dishes (considering the spice level), the menu is quite elaborate and offers a true vietnamese experience. i was personally surprised to see banh xeo on the menu. we had the seafood pho, mekong momos, red river riot, vietnamese chicken curry, smoky noodles and spicy prawn fried rice (i know! we have quite the appetite). we ended with a wobbly lemongrass pudding, which was my least favourite dish that day. but overall lovely food and lovely seating area :) would totally recommend this place.

on a five day trip to bangalore, i ate the beef pho for lunch on two of five days. would highly recommend thisplaceto people who love soups/thukpa. the pho is incredibly flavourful and filling. the momos were decent and the portions are generous. theplaceis dimly lit which makes for a perfect ambience.

quaint romantic n cozyplacein midst of indiranagar. amazing taste , presentation and decent portions. if you are fond of vietnamese food or adventurous to try it - must visit the place. great variety in menu - desserts section is amazing too. i plan to come back till i try out everything . almost forgot to mention- clean washrooms equipped not just with hand wash but hand lotion too !!

think vietnamese cuisine in bangalore ...think phobbiden fruit !! many pan asian restaurants cluster in around indiranagar but thisplacehas managed hold onto it unique quality and usp for years now. i'm personally in love with quaint and subtle ambience they have ...just perfect for fine dining !! talking about the food ...it's stays true to promise of serving authentic vietnamese and pan asian dishes. the satays, baos, curries , noodles ....i have never tasted a dish in thisplacewhic falls short of anything but excellence !!

the best for vietnamese food. they have a wide variety of starters and one could fill their stomach with delicious gamut of starters because the portions of food are big.
i'd like to see more options in the main course though, especially in veg.
the ambience is peaceful and calm. the staff is well trained and helpful. if you are not sure of what to order, the knowledgeable staff there will help you make a good choice.
overall, a gem of aplacein the heart of indiranagar with a peaceful environment.

you would just walk by thisplaceif you aren't paying attention. it's a lovely place, just the right amount of decor to make it feel very warm and welcoming. theplacehad absolutely amazing food, especially the fritters. would definitely recommend that dish for a starter. anyone who loves asian food should give the pho a try as well.

the prices are on the higher side but its because of the quality of food they serve so i feel its worth it. the staff is very friendly and all in all, aplacei'd recommend any day.
