LUPA

Finally visited the much famed - LUPA during Xmas vacation. I had heard about this restaurant a lot and the place did come good on all the recommendations. The decor of the place is very pretty and Xmas decorations did add a charm to the place as well. It has pretty large seating area spread across multiple places. The menu has large number of vegetarian dishes to choose from. Food was very tasty. Cocktails were obscenely expensive and could taste better.

What a delightful all-star experience at LUPA. A great decision to celebrate a special day at this stellar gastronomic experiential place. The staff were wonderfully professional and courteous, helping you navigate through an extensive menu and recommending some remarkable picks. Tried their Curry and Smoke cocktail along with the Roasted Bone Marrow. Decided to go small plate to not miss out on other great choices. Good call! Fiery Sicilian Jumbo Prawns and Crispy Lamb with Hummus did not disappoint and exceeded expectations. Harissa Chicken was wonderfully prepared as well. The staff delighted us with a thoughtful dessert to celebrate even though we had to rush for an event soon after. Extremely stoked by the food and attention. Would love to keep coming back.

I visited this place after seeing their name on the best restaurant award list and it didn't meet my expectations. The food served was really good but the customer service was average and the ambience was just okay. Felt a dark place and some old restaurant vibe.

LUPA, tucked right in the heart of MG Road, is a place you won’t fully appreciate until you step inside. From the moment you walk in, you are greeted with a beautifully designed space—a charming courtyard with a water fountain at its center, setting a lovely and inviting tone, and a large yet cozy main dining area that feels just right for any occasion. The bar, is well-stocked and, more importantly, serves up some excellent, well-crafted cocktails. The food was delicious —there are good of options for vegetarians, and the poached pear salad we tried was simply fantastic. Fresh, flavorful, and definitely something I’d go back for. Gave 4⭐️ for service only because lack of attention - we ordered Tiramisu but they served was a Tres Leches. If you’re on the lookout for a standout dining experience in Bangalore, LUPA deserves a spot on your list. It’s easily one of the top independent restaurants in the city, perfect for a relaxed evening or a special occasion or a business meeting. Definitely worth a visit!

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Lupa, and every dish exceeded my expectations. The Chilli Cheese Crab Melt was a standout—perfectly creamy and indulgent, with just the right amount of spice. The Bone Marrow was a decadent treat, rich and buttery, paired beautifully with the crispy toast. The Pork Belly was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, offering a perfect balance of flavors. For something lighter but equally delicious, the Duck Tacos were exceptional—savory, juicy, and with a great balance of textures. The Truffle Pizza was another highlight, with an irresistible truffle aroma and a perfectly crisp crust, making each bite a delight. Dessert was the perfect finish, and the Strawberry Tres Leches was incredibly moist and flavorful, with a perfect sweetness that wasn’t overwhelming. To top off the meal, we had two incredible cocktails—the S’mores was smoky and sweet, while the Berry Milano had a refreshing berry kick that complemented everything beautifully.

One of the best restaurants in Bengaluru or even India for high-end modern European cuisine! It has impressive and diverse food options, a good bar menu, a warm and upbeat ambience, very helpful and friendly service and staff, and is priced as expected a bit on the higher side. Food: We had Hot Brie with Fresh Black Truffles, Cheese Platter, Spaghetti Aglio e Olio, Pan seared Scallops, a mocktail, The House cocktail, and PB&J for dessert. Hot Brie: It was warm, delicious, and went well with the bread. The sweet fig was a nice addition. Fresh Black Truffles (a must try!): Hot Brie can be ordered with grated fresh black truffles and we did the same. However, I asked for grated black truffles to be served separately on the side. They provided in two forms: one being just grated black truffles, and the other being grated black truffles in truffle oil. In their grated form, they don't have much of a taste to them except for the deep aroma. However, in truffle oil, they reach their full potential. They were deep and amazing in aroma/smell, had a great umami taste, and were a bit like slightly pungent mushrooms. Cheese Platter: We had Danish Blue, Brie, and Manchego. I really found Danish Blue interesting as it is a blue cheese with interesting taste/smell. It had a deeper flavour and felt quite salty and a bit moldy/funky in taste and smell. It also felt a bit sour/fermented. Quite a complicated and layered flavour profile. Must try! Pan seared Scallops: They were quite nice. I felt the scallops were slightly sweet and mild in smell and flavour just like crab or lobster. PB&J: Although the dessert is called peanut butter and jam, I couldn't sense much of peanut butter. It was mostly chocolate. Ambience: Warm and upbeat. Not a great place to have peaceful conversations however. Service: Very polite and helpful staff. Quite friendly as well. They recommend dishes and guide you well if you ask for it. There was a huge delay in service of Pan seared Scallops however. Special Note: Upon interacting with the staff, I have learnt that they also seem to have Caviar off the menu priced at about 16,000 INR at the time of writing this. They also claim to have Wagyu A5 Beef priced at about 8,000 INR at the time of writing this. However, with the import of Wagyu A5 Beef being banned in India, I am not sure about the validity of their claim or the legal technicality of it. With that being said, I would surely like to visit LUPA again to try their Chicken Liver Pate, Roasted Bone Marrow, and Oysters Rockefeller if available. Unfortunately, oysters were not available at the time of our visit. It is better to inquire with them on call before visiting. It is best to reserve our table on Google before visiting.

A fine dine at its best , a cozy atmosphere with amazing service, for the first time I noticed that every one serving us had a huge smile and were courteous in every way ! Well groomed to the standard of a fine dine, coming to the cocktails, well they are really good but a bit too tad expensive, would rather stick to the hard liquor , the smoked salmon was simply delicious, the veggies ,.the sauce and toppings were perfection ! The ham and prawns , the ham was to perfection the prawns were okayish, the mutton kebab was super juicy and cooked to perfection! The chilli chitni and mint chutni were one of the best ive had , the jasmine rice accompanying the kebab was cooked to perfection and a perfect combination with the kebab and chilli chutni ! Mouth watering is what I could call it. The desert - sticky toffee - the presentation was the oomph factor and rightly ampt sweetness ! Be ready to burn a hole in your wallet , but every penny is worth the fine dine experience!

What an amazing experience ! As we walked into LUPA, was greeted by absolutely courteous staff. Got a table quick as it was a Friday and went for a late dinner. There was live music but pretty subtle which made the whole ambience quite soothing. The lighting and the interiors are absolutely perfect to enjoy a fine dine. The service was impeccable and the staff even courteous. The portion size was great and looks even better. It is absolutely worth the hype ! Do try 😊
