Lush gardens and limpid pools make this outdoorsy bar at the five-star Oberoi more of an anytime family hangout. There is an indoor seating area as well, but catch the awesome Bangalore sunshine and cool breeze in the patio area that is perfect for a weekend brunch. Beautiful trees set amidst a waterfall that flows into a pond filled with multi-coloured fish ensures that children have plenty of place to walk around and lots of things to see. Splashes of yellow on the décor add to the English garden atmosphere.
The menu here is quite limited – the appetizers, main course and dessert have one pick each from Indian, European and American. Each item is priced at approximately Rs.300. We tried the bruschetta platter and a Greek salad both of which good. The salad was quite large and very fresh. For the main course, we had the hamburger – it was ok. For dessert, we tried the chocolate supreme – the usual chocolately gooey cake – but what was interesting was that it came with basil ice cream – I liked the subtle flavour of basil leaves combined with the cool ice-cream!
The Polo Club is a neat place to hangout with family or for a business lunch. The food, by no means, is fantastic, but I give a thumbs up for the atmosphere and ambiance- especially a nice place to go with kids. A meal for two without alcohol is approximately Rs.1500.
