phobidden fruit

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

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.vietnamesecoffee is a must try. we had it with banh mi and chicken glass noodles, which were perfect in taste !

lovely place, with a lot to offer for avietnamesedinner.

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.

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 tryingvietnamesecuisine 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.

the most authenticvietnamesecuisine i have tried till date
i have been to many restaurants servingvietnamesecuisine 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 smackingvietnamesefood. try thevietnamesecold coffee, also the noodle bowls are my top recommendations.

i've been going here since the last 7 and a half years and they never disappoint! excellent food, the bestvietnamesefood 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 extensivevietnamesemenu. 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

loved the cuisine here thevietnamesechicken curry and chicken pho was very flavourful and delectable it was one of the best, even the cocunut pudding was very subtle, ambience is perfect for a romantic dinner date and is very pleasant and peaceful, impeccable service by john, he was well detailed and was super friendly and attentive, he went extra mile and we were delighted by the service he provided, staffs like him are an asset. overall a good experience.

went on a weekday and there were lot of unoccupied seats and service was very prompt.
the last order is taken by 3.15 for lunch service so plan accordingly.
coming to the food itself, tried the lettuce wrapped chicken, another chicken starter as recommended by the host and also chicken pho.
all of them were lip smacking delicious.
the pho was light on flavour and quite warming.
for drinks we had thevietnamesecoffee and it was the best on a warm afternoon! will definitely come back for more.😍

great place forvietnamesefood. while there is an indian twist to the dishes (considering the spice level), the menu is quite elaborate and offers a truevietnameseexperience. i was personally surprised to see banh xeo on the menu. we had the seafood pho, mekong momos, red river riot, vietnamesechicken 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.

quaint romantic n cozy place in midst of indiranagar. amazing taste , presentation and decent portions. if you are fond ofvietnamesefood 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 !!

phobidden fruit -vietnamesekitchen amazing ambience, courteous staff good food , very peaceful place

thinkvietnamesecuisine in bangalore ...think phobbiden fruit !! many pan asian restaurants cluster in around indiranagar but this place has 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 authenticvietnameseand pan asian dishes. the satays, baos, curries , noodles ....i have never tasted a dish in this place whic falls short of anything but excellence !!

the best forvietnamesefood. 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 a place in the heart of indiranagar with a peaceful environment.
