"Climbing from #17 on the Top Restaurant Awards 2019, Bengaluru Oota Company manages to offer an intimate dining experience with a “by reservation only” system—there are just five tables in a quaint yellow-walled home in Halasuru and a Gowda-Mangalorean menu that changes everyday based on what’s fresh in the market. Once guests book their table, they can share their dietary preferences and the meal will be curated accordingly. A typical 5-course meal includes season-based drinks, traditional starters, flavourful curries, rice variations, chutneys, pickles, pachadis and the essential curd rice. Desserts and filter coffee cap off the experience. The restaurant is owned and operated by Divya Prabhakar—a 7th generation Gowda from Ulsoor with an 18-year career in hospitality—who will make sure you take extra servings of kori gassi and mutton cutlets, all while telling you about the history and preparation of the regional delicacies on your table." - ByArundhati Ail
