Glass, a modern Indian restaurant and bar opened its doors to patrons this month. Glass has been conceptualised to recreate traditional Indian food served with modern presentations. Designed in an indoor garden setting, Glass has a distinctive ambience. The menu includes traditional cuisine from different regions of India complemented by a varying selection of drinks.

“The idea to set up Glass came about after the second lockdown in the country. The team at Brigade Hospitality wanted to create a special and exciting space to re-energise Holiday Inn Bangalore Racecourse and what better way to do it than by launching a restaurant that would leave a lasting impression on the city?” says Nirupa Shankar of Brigade Enterprises.

And they chose Chef Abhijit Saha to lead the way. Shankar says that they found him to be a forward-thinking chef, who could create food that is cutting edge and ahead of its time. “Our aim is to create customer delight by going beyond customer satisfaction and giving them that extra special experience, ‘’ says she.Chef Saha is a hospitality and an F&B consultant, restaurateur, oenophile, and author. He has three decades of national and international experience in the food service and hospitality industry. Chef Saha was the coach and mentor of Team India for ‘Bocuse d’Or Asia-Pacific’, 2018, guest judge of ‘MasterChef India’ and continues to be the Technical Judge of Young Chefs Olympiad for the last six years. In 2019, he was honoured with the Indian Federation of Culinary Associations’ (IFCA) highest accolade, the ‘Exceptional Achievement Award.’

“Glass is based on clean food, interesting flavour combinations and sustainable dining with a focus on farm to fork. Food lovers can indulge in the finest Indian cuisine with a creative, contemporary and eclectic feel. Our menu exudes imaginative interpretations of traditional cuisine from different regions of India with exciting flavours served with modern presentations,” says Chef Saha.

The restaurant’s Speakeasy Bar serves innovative and classic cocktails along with a wide selection of fine spirits, beers, wines and small plates. It is a place for unwinding and relaxing with friends on a lazy afternoon.

With a good balance of Chef Saha’s specially curated dishes, Glass is the new restaurant on the block in Bengaluru. The promise of picture-perfect food that delights the taste buds too and a unique ambience are some reasons to visit this place.
