An Intimate Al fresco Dining Experience By The Pool At The Lotus Oriental In Bengaluru
The best dinners come to those who wait. And the best dining experiences are destined for those willing to go the extra mile ( more like drive the extra mile), as The Lotus Oriental is situated at least 29 km from Bengaluru city in Jakkur near Manyata tech park. Here, luxury meets the Orient as the luxurious restaurant pampers you with the choicest Pan Asian delicacies. Like Chinese, Thai and Japanese cuisines.
On a chilly Bengaluru evening, where gusty winds embrace you and night crickets quietly chirp, you can’t find a better place to dine than the outdoors by the pool. The al fresco dining experience instantly serenades you. Cosily sit by the pool with your beloved as you soak in the city views and engage in intimate conversations over their signature cocktails — truffle-infused whiskey drink, Shittake fashion and their unique Wasabi Mary which you might have guessed by now to be their Oriental take on Bloody Mary.
