Will never recommend it to anyone!
I wanted to try this place because I had heard a lot about it but came out truly disappointed. We did not have a reservation & we were made to feel like it was a crime to enter without reservation. (we went on a weekday so dint find it necessary to make a reservation). The staff treats you like they are actually doing a favour by serving you! The service is pretty lethargic. Above all this, if the food was mindblowing, I wouldnt have minded it. But even that disappointed me. We tried the Russian Salad, Lasagna & Pasta, all of which was just about average, considering other Italian restaurants I have been to. We ended up with a bill of 2000 (inclusive of one drink) Would not recommend this place to anyone, unless you look like a Chinki! (realised that the waiters are capable of smiling at foreigners!!)

Consistently good
Reading some of the other reviews, I'm kind of shocked and amazed.
I mean, there are so many worse places to go and spend your money in Bangalore.
Sunny's isn't the greatest in the world, but it's good. It's reliable. It's comfortable.
And in Bangalore, that's a lot better than most places.
Nearly everything I've had (6 dinners, 5 lunches?) has been tasty, authentic, and served quickly and hot.
The waiters never struck me as either aloof or overbearing. Appropriate is the word that comes to mind.
I'd recommend it any time.

windy place to be in.....
my experience in Sunny's was great. I frankly had a great time on food and wine there. The service from my call to ask in for table to gettin me through the restraunt was wonderful. The food was great, but maybe it needs more of a refinement to the italian or medi standards. But for all an indian pallate it was wow, it was grt. The event was my bday, with few colse peope to me n frankly all of us had some gret great time in thr.
The food, the wine n drinks and the dessert were made perfectly for the event, i bet.
Its a place u should visit, anyone who can afford Sunnys should and i recommend it again n again to people. Many hav been regulars now n some jus makin it jus for the pizzas.
Better ask for a place outside in open, its better and wow, its chilling and the weather if cloudy u shud make it for an ouside table... try ou n i bet its jus great experience.

The sun doesn't always shine on Sunnys
If you’ve read any of my other reviews on food/restaurants you’ll know that I take food very seriously. I am a confirmed foodie and love trying new places and different cuisines. I’m
fairly experimental too... although I will draw the line at brain, ox tongue and blood pudding etc.There’s just something eww about eating stuff like that. But hey - to each his/her own.
I had heard about Sunnys even before I moved to Bangalore. So when I moved here, this was one of the things on my MUST DO/ MUST EAT AT list.
Sunny’s is located on the very swish and swanky Vittal Mallya Road, just a few 100 meters from UB City. But let me warn you, if you blink, you will miss it.Even though its at the corner of the street, the roundabout next to it is very busy and parking is an absolute nightmare. So, if you don’t have the luxury of a driver at your disposal, be prepared to circle around for a while looking for parking.
I’ll start from the beginning so you have an idea of what this place looks like. One enters through an outdoor area where there is a small bar and a few tables set up. If the weather’s good, you won’t get a place there. The restaurant is on two levels(although I have only seen the ground floor). As soon as you enter, the surly Manager/Head waiter will ask if you have a reservation. Now I, didn’t. It was a weekday and I figured it wouldn’t be an issue. The Manager looked at me, grimaced and then said he’d try and accommodate me. The restaurant was empty other than a table that was occupied by a lone guest (who I later found out was not a guest - he was the owner) and two more tables which had about 4 people on each table, so I was quite puzzled.
Anyway, I just assumed all the tables were probably reserved so I just sat down quietly and frankly, gratefully.
The ambiance... hmn... it’s pretty basic really. Tables, chairs, white table cloths... nothing out of the ordinary. Actually, quite forgettable.
The waiter came after about 10 minutes even though there were loads of waiters hanging around. That’s one thing you notice immediately. There are just so many waiters! Anyway, I decided to have a Ceasers salad as an appetizer and a pasta as my main course. I was with two other friends and they drink so they ordered a bottle of wine to share between them. I stuck to diet coke.
One of my friends ordered a salad and jumbo pawns with tomato tarragon sauce while the other ordered a seafood bisque and a risotto with asparagus, zucchini and mushrooms.
It took 20 minutes for our salads to be served and they put a basket of freshly baked bread on the table accompanied by herb butter.The salad was very good. Just the right amount of everything - so no complaints there.
Then came our main course. The portion of pasta I got was good! I couldn’t finish it! And I must admit, it was very very good. The one who ordered the risotto was also very happy with her choice but my poor friend who ordered the prawns got the shock of her life - she basically got 4 prawns on a plate with some weak sauce.... it was good that my pasta was big enough to share.
The place is quite pricey and even though most guide books say that an average spend for two is about Rs 1000 - I beg to differ. We were three of us. We ordered a bottle of Indian red wine (Grovers), a diet coke, 2 salads, a soup and three main courses. No dessert or coffee. We got a bill for 3800!!!Now either I should have failed in math in school or we had to shell out approx 1300 rupees each!
Now the service. This place is basically an expat hangout.Loads of expat wives hang out there and the owner basically falls over himself to please them. He is not so friendly with the Indian guests unless you are very old clients. He can be very rude and his attitude rubs off on the staff. The waiters have an attitude problem the size of Asia! I was quite upset when we left.
A few weeks later, I had to go back again with a few friends and my husband , who happens to be Swedish. Oh! My! God! What a change! Suddenly I was treated like royalty! I was so disgusted that I vowed never to go back again - even though there are many times that the taste of the superfluous Ceaser’s salad sways my resolve. But I haven’t swayed yet and won’t if I can help it.
I recommend the food definitely but is it worth it to feel discriminated against and pay a heavy price for it (literally)? I think not.
