I step into The Oberoi, Bengaluru, for my first dine-in meal post lockdown, where I not only savour some of the signature specialities at Lapis, the all-day dining restaurant here, but more importantly, take a close look at the measures being employed by the hotel to ensure safety of guests and staff in these precarious times. From sanitisation of guests, their vehicles and belongings, to meticulous back of the house and kitchen processes aimed at fostering heightened levels of hygiene, to restaurant modifications that appear to not just take care of social distancing, but also airflow management, the team here seems to have made good use of the lockdown to ready services for the new normal. Hope you enjoy this episode, folks. Stay safe and happy eating!
Brulée Of Goat Cheese And Herbs
This dainty brulée of goat cheese, crested with a passion fruit vinaigrette and basil seeds, is lusciously creamy with a smokey edge and contrasts sharply with the pickled beetroots served on the plate. The pistachio granola chip provides sweet relief to complement the fat and acidity of the dish.
Rs. 775 (usd 10.2)
8.5/10
Inside-out Karari Roomali Roti
A conversation starter of a dish, the humble roomali roti is roasted on a ulta tawa until crisp and slathered with a heavy hand of spiced butter. The trio of yoghurts, a puckeringly tart kairi (raw mango), beetroot and a savoury masala dip, served alongside elevates the status of the roti from being a mere nibble to that of a palate-teaser.
Rs. 625 (usd 8.2)

Hyderabadi Lamb Keema Tikki
A kacche kheeme (raw mince) ki tikki, the charred crust of which yields to the juiciness of the meat and the fresh crunch of onions on the bite. The flavours hark to a Hyderabadi pathar ka gosht, a possible inspiration behind the spices in this delicious lamb appetiser.
Rs. 1025 (usd 13.5)
9/10
Peri Peri Cauliflower Deep Dish Pizza
A perfectly executed Chicago style deep dish pizza, the pie is crunchy at the base and that helps hold within itself its weighty stuffing of peri peri spiced cauliflower, jalapeno and cheese.
Rs. 1395 (usd 18.3)
10/10
Organic Kale And Ragi Millet Soup
There’s a nutty bitterness to this soup, the sort that tastes healthy. Not a soup that’s designed to pander to your taste buds, the rajira (amaranth) and millet help in adding a touch of texture.
Rs. 495 (usd 6.5)
7/10
Pan Seared Kolkata Bekti
The sea bass is cooked to the perfect, crisp sear yet moist inside. The wilted spinach works well as a foil to the sweetness of the mild Creole sauce with its slightly bitter, savoury notes.
Rs. 495 (usd 6.5)
9/10
Karnataka Lasooni Panchkuta Saag
Five varieties of greens go into the making of this saag that’s topped with roasted garlic and a generous dollop of white butter.
Rs. 995 (usd 13.1)
9/10
The Unbelievable Apple
This striking dessert layers apple jelly, cinnamon mousse and spiced, stewed apple core into a clever take on the apple crumble.
Rs. 575 (usd 7.6)

Pot Of Gold
A vegan assemblage of pink guava jelly, almond milk cream and berry compote.
