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. Amritsari soul, phulkari walls, a live tandoor and lassis that deserved their own curtain call — Bengaluru's vegetarian dining scene just got a generous, flavour-packed Amritsari addition.
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. Twenty-five years on, this Bengaluru institution has returned louder, sharper and considerably more fun — the bowling lanes alone are reason enough to cancel whatever else you had planned.
