The Naati Oota festival at DoubleTree by Hilton Bengaluru Whitefield played host to select media and creators. TheGlitzMedia was among those invited for the evening, and we share the experience of a beautifully put-together night, with old Bengaluru flavour in place, right down to the last detail.
Not every new restaurant deserves your time. This one does — and it will tell you exactly why from the moment you walk through the door. Behind every great restaurant is a story someone couldn't let go of. At Roxie and Barry, thirty years of patience finally found its room.

Punjab landed on MG Road the night I walked into Oye Kake, and dinner at Eight-Four-O has never felt more like a celebration.

Amoeba on Church Street on a rainy late Saturday afternoon turned out to be three hours we never saw coming and didn't want to end.

Think smoke, spice, chilli heat, umami, crunch, and creamy coconut curries — all wrapped in a playful, flavour-forward experience that feels anything but ordinary.
