Regional Indian Cuisine
What’s new? Idylll Restaurant
Where: Bengaluru
Bengaluru welcomes its newest culinary gem, Idylll, a restaurant that serves regional Indian plates and craft cocktails in their most rustic, nostalgic, and idyllic state. Set in the vibrant locale of Indiranagar and opening its doors on 7th June, Idylll promises an unparalleled dining experience, celebrating the rich tapestry of Indian culinary heritage.
The restaurant’s Idylll Theory philosophy emphasizes a holistic experience that engages all five senses. This is evident in the meticulous attention to detail in the cuisine and the ambiance.
The space is divided into two levels, with fine dining on the lower level featuring monolithic monotone walls and wall frescoes that create an intimate setting. The design pays homage to the celebratory structures of Jaipur, with semi-transparent layers reflecting vibrant hues and intricate details.
At the heart of Idylll’s culinary offerings is a menu that spans the vibrant states of Rajasthan, Kashmir, Lucknow, Orissa, and Maharashtra. Signature dishes like Akuri Pav, Salli Par Eidu, and Misal Pav showcase the rich diversity of Indian flavours. The culinary team, drawing inspiration from the essence of fermentation, incorporates handcrafted pickles and kombuchas, adding layers of complexity to the dishes.
The upper level houses a cocktail room featuring an open circular island bar. Here, guests can enjoy craft cocktails made with regional Indian ingredients, set against softly textured hues, marble, stone, wood, and terracotta. The bar is the epicentre of mixology, where every drink tells a story of India’s rich heritage. Idylll is more than just a restaurant; it’s a destination for food enthusiasts and drink connoisseurs seeking a unique culinary experience.
