Aranya: Dining in a rooftop jungle


Aaranya is undoubtedly one of the very few good restaurants on the Outer Ring road of Bangalore. The seating on the rooftop is amazing, one can really enjoy the wonderful Bangalore breeze while enjoying a sumptuous dinner seated on big wooden tables and chairs.
After coming to Bangalore, I had been looking for a place to go out for birthday treats. According to me, a place to give treats should have the kind of food most people like and more importantly should be inexpensive. It took me almost a year to discover Aaranya. It serves decent North Indian food (punjabi food) at an affordable price and liquor at low prices.
It is hard to find a table at Aaranya on weekends and one should reserve a table before coming. This is a three storied restaurant and only the top floor (roof top) is worth coming to. The Ground floor is suffocating and first floor ordinary. There is enough dishes on the menu to satisfy both veggies and non-veggies. Just a word of caution though, do not order any exotic dish else you might be disappointed with what you end up consuming.Aaranya used to serve decent red wine at a moderate price, but have stopped serving wine now. But, they still serve quite a number of liquors to ensure that even alcoholics find enough reasons to visit the place. This place is worth visiting just for it's ambiance, also the food they serve may not be out of the world but is good enough for eating out with friends.
Cost for a meal for two: About Rs.400-500
