Review The Polo Club (the Oberoi) - Bengaluru

Kenzie Middlestead
Wonderful evening at Polo Club. Service was fantastic. Kshitij and Mohit were attentive and gracious. Great recommendation with the Pulu cocktail. The new menu has improved the offerings to elevate the already indescribable experience of sitting under the trees at Oberoi Bangalore. Can’t wait to enjoy again soon!
Puja Kedia
As always the Oberoi bangalore has never been disappointing. My all time favorites for years together - the polo club and wabi sabi.. Special mention to the very talented Mohit for the amazing cocktails he served!
Smita Rangesh
Went for tea and snacks with friends and loved the ambience. The mezze was yummy although I wasn’t sure why there was cheese on the bombay sandwich. We had the health drinks and some tea. We lingered longer than we expected to.

Opted to watch the FIFA world cup finals at the Polo Club since we love the ambience. The night was one to remember; Scrumptious food and drinks paired with excellent customer service. Shout out to Mohit for his recommendation on the pizza and keeping an eye out on our little one.
Namitha Krishna
We enjoyed the cocktails and the service here. We thoroughly enjoyed the free photoshoot services by Mohit from the Polo club :) Nice place to unwind after a busy day. Little pricey but that’s expected.
Sanchi Poovaya

Amazing times at the Polo Club. All of the staff were amazing, and in particular, Mohit went above and beyond to make our trip memorable and fun. Thank you!

Kapil Mehrotra
Great restaurant quality / variety food for a bar plus world class knowledgeable staff. Totally unexpected (such variety for a bar). Really amazing taste of lamb biryani. I tried a new (near local) Indian wine based on their recommendation. Folks who like full bodied reds should try it. KRSMA brand.

Alphonso provided the great service last night in Polo club restaurant. One of the best restaurant I have ever been. Value for each penny you pay. I have tried many great restaurant in good hotels but this one is the best compared to Taj, Hyatt or Conrad in the same area. I would love to stay with you guys on my next visit to Bangalore and also recommend to my colleagues who visits Bangalore very often.

Amazing place amidst nature ! A calm place in the heart of the city to get a dose of great food ! Tried their prawn starter & mutton dum biryani ! Murgh Makhani was as good as it can get along with the laccha paratha !<br/>It was lip smacking I would say :) great service & lot of importance given to Hygiene :)
Vibha .v
I love this place.Its got great ambiance and great food. A must try is the pizza Margherita and the burger.The wedges and fries were very crispy and fresh. This is a place I'd like to come back and visit again. We were served by Alette. She was warm and made us feel very comfortable.
Marilou Kruse
Was craving a steak and saw the chateaubriand on the menu - superb! Actually my first steak in India and I’m happy I chose the right place to have it.
Anuja Rout
They serve you mean cocktails!!<br/>Amazing ambience and cocktails .
Aadav Agate
I ate Paneer Makhn and multigrain Paratha stuffed with carrot. It was nice taste. The chef and Ms. Vibhuthi and Ms. Alphonza, Ms. Eleza and Mr Priyadarshan rendered very warm and soft service and Chrstmas eve also feast t ear and eyes
Adv Foodie
Want a little paradise in MG Road? Head to the Oberoi. It is a calm serenity amidst the madness called MG Road. With 3 restaurant's to feed you you will find some place to unwind. The Polo Club is an all day cafe that serves small eats. They have a great staff who is always ready to help. Btw their Thai restaurant Rim Naam is the best in Blr.
Selim Dizick
I love the place because of the atmosphere, it's calme not crowded with good service (5stars) the food is cooked as per your recommendation .🇨🇩🇨🇩🇨🇩
Arnab Bhattacharya
I must say, the experience has been cosy and relaxing. The colonial style with the fresh open air ambience adds up with the exquisite taste of wine and the kebab platters. Keep up the great work guys.
Namo Kaul
Best Cafe in Namma Bengaluru, what amazing hospitality. Thank you for the takeaway gift as well.<br/>Had a good time here. Thank you
Ahnik
A fine bar in a isle of peace. Been coming here for years and they can make a dry martini that always puts me in a good mood. Food is decent but I mainly come to soak in the ambiance and let the kids run around the lawn.
Chandann Reddy
Can not beat the ambience this place has to offer lush green surroundings indoor/outdoor seating!!! And amazing staff... true five star experience!!!! Ideal for business meeting!!! Food was great, matches the ambience and service!!!
Sachin Krishnan
Went to the Oberoi late night with friends, the hotel is under renovation so the polo lounge was the only option. <br/><br/>After few moments of confusion seating us, the reluctant staff got into action. Once seated the attendant promptly asked for orders. <br/><br/>Ordered club sandwich this was nicely made sandwiches, but a tad dry. <br/>The lal maas was good, succulent goat meat, the curry was low in heat, but taste full.. the combo was good with nicely made tawa paratha.<br/><br/>Also ordered Dal Makhani this was the star dish. Creamy and rich and buttery lentil. Goes well with tandoori paratha<br/><br/>Also ordered the kulcha this was well made stuffed with potatoes.<br/><br/>Overall a good experience
Sahana Shetty
This place is cool infront of garden and cute little man made falls. Good to go when you want to go to a classy place, obv food is good as you all know everybest place has best chef 👩‍🍳
Nisheet Saxena
An epitome of amazing food, with family and ordered multiple items, fire and ice must try which is a tangy taste and rest of the varieties of food is really nice.
Mitika
Worst experience today.. the coffee was cold and the person comes and tells that cappuccino is like this. No napkin no water served. It was just pathetic. We ordered French fries for my son and I could smell that they have fried in fish oil. Didn’t expect from Oberoi. We have stayed here earlier but seem staff was no in mood to maintain the standard. Disappointed.
Sunjay
Had a great evening a few Sunday's ago with Harish (Head Bartender) rolling out lip smacking cocktails (from and outside the menu) using of the best sourced ingredients you can imagine - local and international. The service and ambiance were par excellent and the brand lived up to its legacy. Was pleasantly impressed that they recognised and acted proactively to manage the seating experience outdoors as it had its challenges like mosquitoes etc without hampering the overall experience.
Zoya Sait
The ambience is really ñice for a calm and quiet evening. It gets a little hot since it's an outdoor seating even the indoor seating has no AC so I'd recommend going post lunch.<br/>We ordered a fresh watermelon juice, a beef burger and a non-veg platter.<br/>The juice was almost 3 glasses and a burger could be shared between 2 adults and the platter was really tasty but I wished there was a little more because there were four dishes and two of each.<br/>I found the beef burger a little dry, but the juice and platter were really good. Amazing service too.
Druvan Sher
Very friendly and co-operative staff....<br/>Nice view of the restaurant, pleasant environment....<br/>Even the seating arrangements are one of its class....

Hightea<br/>We arrived as booked with a group of 14 people at 14.30 pm on a Friday. It took exactly an hour to get the first item on the table. We sat a long time even with only water in front of us. That's the sad part.<br/><br/>If we expect classic high tea (as we had been told when we booked) we were in for a disappointment! There was no cucumber sandwiches, no eclairs, no Petit fours, no ham cookies. Also we could forget about the free flowing, hot and fresh tea from a big silver pot.<br/><br/>The service was snail like at best and we struggled to see friendliness in our servers faces. It looked more like we had to be endured like a guest whose not that much welcome.<br/><br/>It looked very much like they had forgotten our booking.<br/><br/>So what did we finally get?<br/><br/>Sandwiches with egg mayonnaise. Thick chunks of bread loaded with the filling so heavy it turned on its eggy side. Chicken sandwiches, open tiny bits with bread that reminded of rusk.<br/>Then an unexpected mini bowl of glazed mushrooms. Sauce recognized by Japanese ladies as pork sauce. They were not so amused.<br/><br/>The sweets: scones, cream, jam. Tasted nice though not exactly authentic. But not really enough of them. We were told for sweets there are no refills. For 14 people there were only 12 scones.<br/><br/>What else was in the sweet section?<br/><br/>Florentines, pink macarons, mini jule log, truffles, stollen with marzipan, brownies (a real surprise along with peanut butter cheese sandwiches!!) Fruitcake and unidentified, mini iced cakes. The theme was certainly christmassy or just plain taken from the dessert section to make up for lack of preparation of the original items whichever I'm not sure about.<br/><br/>Comparing this with the traditional English high tea by pastry chef Sangeet Panwar including Jam drop cookies, hazelnut eclairs, quiche and an endless flow of tea I'm not sure it was the same thing at all! I managed to get only three cups of tea one of which was extremely weak.<br/><br/>I wouldn't say the sweets were bad. Actually they were pretty decent and beautiful to look at just not exactly what we had come for.<br/><br/>The staff took to watching us standing from a distance rather than active service. I would call it hesitant. Nevertheless our mood was brilliant and none of us complained while there. The garden is beautiful and we enjoyed meeting outside with ample of sunshine.<br/><br/>The whole experience leaves a kind of question mark for me. What would it have been like if we had really got the announced items?<br/>Despite all the confusion I wouldn't mind at all to go back. A bit of staff tweaking, punctuality to booked timings and the expected traditional high tea are not completely impossible to do I believe and should be within reach taking into account that the Oberoi is a reputable, long established five star venue.<br/><br/>

Came here for a cup of coffee n tried their club sandwich with fries n the earthy detox juice . All 3 were good . Expensive but best quality .

The polo club is one of my favorite places to visit when I’m in Bangalore. The food/drinks are great, staff is friendly and service excellent!! I enjoy spending the evenings outdoors and can’t think of a better place than this. I look forward to coming here again when I’m in Bangalore next month!
Deepti
Visited this place on a Monday afternoon and was amazed by the ambience. The view of the garden is just amazing and the staff were extremely nice to us. The food was decent. We had the onion uttappa which was not very great, but since we were hungry, we enjoyed it. We also had the fajitas which were good.
Shiv Raajesh
The polo club was an enthralling sight with devoted staff. The selection was simple and satiating. The rustic ambience of a polo club is brought to life with impeccable authenticity. A parsimonious man would not appreciate the prices.
Lavanya Kurup
My all time favorite place - been here many times, for work as well as with family. The service never ceases to amaze and the food is also good. Have tried most of the veggie options. Can add more eggless desserts for sure!
Rahhul Kummar
So we ordered starters and food yesterday at the Polo Club. Firstly the tandoor in chicken and mutton was average and secondly they didn't have tandoor options for vegetarians and they said it would take 30 minutes plus for serving those. We had a problem as the person we were to meet who said he was staying at the hotel disappeared suddenly without paying the bill. On consulting the hotel staff to help with finding the person if he is staying in the hotel were least supportive and the staff in Polo Club were indirectly rude to us when we wanted to see the CCTV footage saying if your not staying in the hotel it's not the managements responsibility. The least we expected was hospitality if not anything even after paying the bill which was definitely not worth the food we had. Seriously I would never recommend Oberoi to anyone as the food is below average and the experience with the staff was something I didn't expect from a 5 star.
Aashna Rao
I love spending Sunday afternoon here with a standard vinaigrette salad and classic grilled chicken, jus, mashed potato and grilled vegetables. Remind you of old Bangalore and the finer things in life - an absolute must try. The wine and whisky selection is also incredible.
Manuj
Expectedly good property and well maintained landscaping on the lawn. The staff was quite confused and seemingly hassled in their handling as it was bustling with guests. Decent food n drinks made up our late afternoon/evening with added pleasure of watching the greenery.
Anita SV
Good food, great ambience. Terrible service. We placed our first dish at 6:30 and waited for grill to open at 7. They completely forgot about us eve though we wanted to place order as soon as grill opened. Found someone at 7:45 to place the grill order. It was expensive for the quantity 2K for 4 pieces, which is fine for a premium restaurant. Then we again had to go hunting to find the waiter to get us two glasses of water. Which came soon enough. <br/>Last year on Valentines day we sat at the bar and had a much better experience.
Advith Shetty
This is a classic when it comes to bangalore bars. Nice decor and a great venue if you like being outdoors in the evenings. The food hits the spot and the wide range of cocktails has something for everyone. A great place to get away from the normal bustling city life.
Ross Nevin
I was searching for an Oasis in the middle of this bustling city of Bangalore and I was so lucky to happen upon the Polo Club at the Oberoi. <br/><br/>Sitting outside in the relaxed surroundings of the Oberoi gardens and white noise of the gentle water fountain I was lucky enough to spend several hours enjoying the delicious food, wine and amazingly courteous and helpful service of the staff of the Polo Club. My warmest thanks go to my waiter Jitin who was wonderful in keeping me company with wonderful tales and stories of India life and whet my appetite to travel more around this amazing country but also in serving my needs and suggestions for food, wine and indeed a cheeky Cigar and Cognac at the end of the evening, thank you again Jitin and the entire team.<br/><br/>I would highly recommend this oasis for some time out alone or as a nice venue for brunch with friends and family as the tables are very well spaced out and there is also tastefully designed seating inside. The cocktail and wine menu will certainly cater to all tastes and there is a very good selection of food and nibbles to choose from. I very much enjoyed the Popped Lotus Seed, Fox nuts with my cocktail.<br/><br/>I am already looking forward to making a return in the very near future and thank you again for making my visit a memorable one.
Saurav Sharma
Exquisite royal and classic ambience , although the bar is quiet small but it looks Vintage.<br/>Great use of leather and stained stained glass.<br/><br/>Perefect example of old world charm and modernity infused together very well.<br/>10/10 for ambience <br/>Though the experience was amazing but food didn't meet quiet the expectation.<br/>It was a rollback.<br/>The place is a little bit expensive but I wouldn't mind going back
Abhishree J Kumar
Came to Le Jardin for lunch with a couple of friends, and decided to spend the evening in The Polo Club. IT IS PERFECT. We actually came there for the alcohol but because of the Supreme Court Rules, there was no alcohol being served so we decided to try out the coffee and the iced tea. It was amazing, especially the French Press Coffee, MUST HAVE. The hot chocolate was very good too and the caramel flavored cold coffee was creamy and nice. The service was a little slow but it didn't bother us to be honest because we were really enjoying the place and we got a very kind server, he was very sweet (Mr.Palash, I'm guessing). We took the table outside near the lawns and it's beautiful in the evening. It was my first time in the Polo Club and I was definitely impressed, definitely going back! <br/><br/>Perfect getaway from the busy Bangalore outside. ❤️ Thank you Polo Club.
Ritesh Agarwal
OK kind of food, Ambience in not that great, but the service follow up is nice. They need to improve on the quality of food. Portions served are enough for a couple.
Kshiteej Sode
Visited this place with some co-workers for an event. We were late for the buffet so we had a quick lunch at the polo club.<br/><br/>The Food: The food was quite delicious. We had potato wedges, a chicken club sandwich, penne pasta with red sauce, chicken kaati roll and a chicken cordon bleu burger. The entire course was packed with flavor. Very tasty food. The ingredients were fresh and cooked to perfection.<br/><br/>The service: the service did take some time, but the servers were quite friendly and polite.<br/><br/>The ambience: The Polo club overlooks the gardens and pond at the the Oberoi, so a good place to relax in the afternoon
Achint Aurora
Only for ambience! Ordered Sangria and Chicken tikkas. Sangria was room temperature and had pathetic taste. On requesting to chill the wine,the waiter put ice in it! Being Oberoi I think chef should just resign knowing this. Chicken tikka was hard and probably two days old. <br/>Such a shame,it's a Oberoi. Even local dhabba is better than this.
Aditi
I loved this place. Old world charm, don't expect any hip hop here. Full marks for the staff, who are excellent. We got very, very courteous service. One of them brought me a free drink when he noticed I wasnt having anything. the menu is full of crowd pleasers, but it is one of the better menus I've seen. You don't always want sherry foam on shaved truffles, sometimes you need more than one choice of spicy sandwich. And finally, green. That big rain tree and the gardens.
Sayanti Dutta
So We only had coffee at Polo Club. I know that's not doing justice to Polo Club if I write a review based on that. But I'll definitely come back and dedicate a whole day for Polo Club and re-write my review. For the time being it's the serenity and bliss I experienced here I want to write down my experience. So after a very fulfilling lunch we(me and my partner) thought of spending some more time at each other's company away from the everyday mundane life. so we decided to go for a cup-o-joe  at Polo Club. Polo club has a sitting arrangement outside near the pool and that's just serenity redefined. Amidst the nature, its such a peaceful ambiance, it makes every meal special. I'm very much looking forward to have a glass of nice wine or chilled beer or exotic whiskey here under the star or sometime during the dusk.

Bangalore, FoodBlog, Foodlove, MG Road, Restaurant, Review, The Grill Nights, The Oberoi Bengaluru, The Polo Club. Last Friday, we were invited for a preview of a promotion at The Polo Club in The Oberoi Bengaluru. ‘Turn Up The Heat’, as it is aptly called is to relish and enjoy some fresh grills as there’s still the remnants of winter in the city – the slight nip in the air.
Karishma Dugar
This has got to be one of my favourite places in Bangalore.<br/><br/>It is a quiet, serene and calm place. I've always thought that it was the perfect place to bring a book. <br/><br/>I must say, each time has been an amazing experience. Whether the wine or the tea, Oberoi knows it best. (Note: wine menu is different in Rim Naam and Le Jardin)<br/><br/>I would also like to point out that the entrées served, whether biscuits, french fries or plain old cheese bites, are always tasty and go well with whatever you order. It lessens the hassle of figuring out what you want to order.
Archit Saraf
Have been here for lunch and must tell you it was an amazing experience. Great food, great ambience and courteous staff. It's worth your money. Loved their veg and non veg delicacies. Their bacon and cheese croquettes deserves a special mention.
Monisha Gupta
Amazing food and service. We had a mix of cuisines and everything was so, so good. Special call out for the tandoori platter. Excellent service by Justin!
Krishna
As always, The Oberoi has not failed to live up to expectations (see review for Szechwan Court). First Class service, with staff always trying to help out. Classic ambience. Limited outdoor seating. Could do with more tea options as well as more variety of appetizers/snacks/light eats. Samosas and Kulfi platters simply fabulous. Centrally located and easily accessible by Bangalore Metro service, so no parking issues.
Raj Nandan
A very nice place to hang out with friends or family.I had a very nice experience here the ambience is very nice ,the food is up to the mark , worth spending and you can call it fine dining at its best .Do visit this place and you will have a great time ❤
Rajesh Padmanabhan
Its a great place to lounge business day meetings. Relaxed setting overlooking the lawns with great service. Serve some good bites to go along. The Oberoi is always home for me always.
Sreerama S Kailash
always a pleasure to lounge at the polo club! just had a short business meeting and ended downing an australian red..the place is airy and a place frequented by corporates and foreigners. A beautiful vibe and charming place with professional staff extending service and courtesy! the only negative thing is the mosquito menace that makes you wanna leave the place.
Foodislove
Most of the stars go for the cordial and friendly service..and the added decorations in the evening, making the ambience lovely and romantic:)<br/>Food was fresh and quantity justified...my personal favourite happened to be garlic shrimp:)
Mahim John Kamath
The ambience: amazing, the staff: excellent, the food: delicious. Sit by the sprawling Oberoi lawns and enjoy your meal/drink! The Polo Club is different in every way. Perfect place for a business luncheon or a candlelight dinner under the stars. Must say that the staff are very alert and courteous, very rare to come across these days. No complaints. Love the place!
Arun S
My most favorite place in Bangalore to have a mug of chilled beer. The frosted mug, ice cold beer, top class hospitality and the open air ambience can only make this a fantasmagorical experience!
Akshay Suresh
This used to be our hangout to enjoy pitchers of beer in great atmosphere. They always have some live sports on the TV too. The waiters and bar tenders here are extremely nice. They have quite a few signature dishes which are great. I like the wraps here too. But really it's not just the food that brings me here time and again. If you want to enjoy yourself looking into the gardens that light up so beautifully (with your favorite drink and some interesting short eats of course) and have one of the very best service the hospitality industry can provide this is where you come.
Kothandaraman Swaminathan
Been there yesterday along with our Management Team. Am a teetotaler. So ordered a mocktail - "Mint Julep" based on recommendation of the steward. <br/>1. I had asked for less ice, however the drink was topped with more ice. :-(<br/>2. To put it mildly....the drink tasted very bland. Should be avoided. :-(<br/><br/>Team had ordered veg starters and they were good. Of special mention was the Papdi chat and Potato Wedges. <br/><br/>Service was courteous and prompt. <br/><br/>Varun Nayyar
Siddharth Anthony
The most welcoming place . The staff is very courteous and polite. We weren't looking to splurge, so ordered drinks,cocktails and mocktails and did not order food. Great laid back ambience,especially if you sit outside. A quiet place for a quiet drink. Try the salmon hamburger and the salmon cooked in the clay oven, and the kulfi ice creams.
Shakthi Yazhini
Randomly walked into this place over a month ago for a drink.<br/>The ambience is OK. Visited in broad daylight, so can't say much about the lighting. But I'm pretty sure it's gonna look beautiful in the late evenings.<br/>The hospitality of the waiters is too good. The bartenders are knowledgeable and patient.<br/>On the whole, visiting Polo club was a nice experience.
Jaya Subba
Service - staff - food - ambience - friendliness - everything was just perfect! Had the Virgin Mojito, Caesar salad with Tempura Prawns and Nachos w Chicken & 2 cups of latte, everything was just amazing. There was a soothing live musician singing and playing the guitar which added to the excellent ambience.
Raghava Chandra Jai Shankar
This is one best place in the garden and you can select your drink or coffee or have a short bite..and still you are on the main road and busiest road of Bangalore...you can hardly listen a vehicle noise or bustling crowd...<br/><br/>The original garden city ambience without a miss and best place to relax and wonderful service with the people around. ..<br/><br/>One place to relax all the stress...enjoy
Anubha Rai
Talking about ambience it is amazing, known for its picturesque landscape and location! The menu may feel a bit restrictive to a vegetarian but overall great place if you want to have some peace time with closed ones .
Vaishnavi P E
Yes, a special occasion deserves a special place to celebrate, so we picked Polo Club this time. It’s been ages since I’ve been to The Oberoi and having spent a Sunday afternoon there, made me realise just how exhilarating it is to have a beautiful and large lung space like this bang in the heart of town. It was after 2:30pm when we made it here, but glad to see there were still a few tables free. We seated ourselves at a table placed in the garden and it was perfect to enjoy the weather along with the view. We had to get the attention of someone before we were given the menu, so maybe it was maybe just an inkling of how packed they were.<br/><br/>We started off with a few cocktails - a Mai Tai and a French Mohito. Their beverage list and food menu isn’t available on Zomato, so you can check it out on their official website instead. We were served 2 bowls of complimentary bar snacks - cheeselings and roasted peanuts. Interesting roasted peanuts actually - different spice taste infact. The drinks took a while in coming though. First the Mai Tai - uh huh, absolutely diluted and no flavour at all! Quite disappointing and not something you’d expect at The Oberoi, would you? We sent it back and told our concern. Service is courteous, no doubt about it, and after apologising for the drink, the replacement was perfect. My French Mohito - well, I was happy with the taste, but I guess 90ml of sparkling wine does not amount to anything in a cocktail. So I’d suggest you to try something else if you’re looking for a sparkling wine cocktail.<br/><br/>For food, we checked out the food available in both the food menus - the bar as well as Le Jardin (which is their all day restaurant), and decided to have the Bacon and Cheese Croquettes. 4 croquettes served with a delightfully spicy green chutney - were they good? They were, but I’ve eaten the best at Smokehouse Deli, and I haven’t found any other croquettes since then that even come close in taste. Croquettes are meant to be a cheesy goodness filled with tender pieces of meat, but the ones here had too much bacon fat, some of which we couldn’t chew through. Again, not something you’d expect of a 5 star restaurant. But, what was definitely a highlight was the chutney. You’d normally expect a mayo of some sort to dip croquettes, so this was amusing. That’s why when we had it with the chutney, we were surprised the two were a perfect match! An interesting Indian twist I must say, and that’s a credit to the chef. :)<br/><br/>We chose to indulge in a walk around the garden and it was simply beautiful. It is peppered with a few fountains and the luscious green is a refreshing sight for the eye. Infact there is a fountain right by one of the tables in the garden, in case you love the sound of water by you. Once back, we ordered a sandwich - a Chicken Club Sandwich with brown bread. Now, this was joyfully relished. Perfectly toasted brown bread, with juicy tender chicken, egg and this time good bacon, served with a chilly mayo, fries and a watermelon and lettuce salad on the side. A great sandwich if you’re a sandwich lover.<br/><br/>I was attracted to a particular cocktail by then and so ordered it - I think it was French 375 (the description said champagne, gin and lime). I asked what champagne they used and apparently it’s Prosecco. Hmmm, a misleading description ‘cuz you know Prosecco is not champagne but just sparkling wine. And I do not like Prosecco, so I opted to cancel it. The sweet steward instead went and found out if they could make it with a different sparkling wine and came back to tell me they’d make it with Mumm, asking me if I was therefore interested in still ordering it. :) Yes, it did make a difference and so I chose to take it. Sadly disappointed when it was served ‘cuz the cocktail wasn’t cold. Sent it back and the next time they got it, it was perfect, and only to see after a few sips that there was some small bit of mold (or something else) floating at the bottom of my glass and I think it came out of the cherry. :( I think it just wasn’t my day for cocktails! They apologised profusely and I know they meant it, but we just wanted to head out by then as we were done with food anyway. We asked them to cancel the cocktail, but they made me another, and insisted that it was on the house instead. :) It would’ve been rude if I had wasted it, so I had it, but yes unfortunately it wasn’t cold enough again.<br/><br/>A cost of 4300, for food and beverages is fair for the place I’d say, plus it’s commending that they do not charge service tax. Hmmm, what can I say about the experience other than wonder if their barman was stressed out that day. :) I know they do have good food, their service courteous and appreciable, but I’d say they need to have an outstanding barman as well.<br/><br/>Verdict: Polo Club is a place with a strikingly luxuriant ambiance and fine food, and I will come back here for exactly that. Hopefully I stand a chance to have great alcohol concoctions next time. :) Nonetheless I highly recommend this place.
Sushma Gowda
Great ambience love the outdoors ! Beautiful sangria , delicious food and lovely music . Had an amazing time with my Mr. ! The pork was delicious and fish n chips was finger lickin good 😋
Divyesh Dalal
Great place to catch up for coffee with old buddies. The outdoor setting is great especially in the rains. Opens a little late but it has the right balance of ambience and brew. Excellent service and classique Oberoi in styling.
Sheila Karkera
Looking for a wonderful place away form the noise and congestion of Bangalore, then this is the place - the grounds are immaculate, the food is very good and the service is first-rate. The hotel is wonderful, but even if you are not staying a the hotel, the Polo Club is a great place to visit for a quiet, relaxing dining experience. Everything is perfect. Great food, great drinks, great atmosphere and great service. These guys really look after you and the place is also children friendly. Not much more to say, just go here and enjoy.
Ajit Induchudan
Scintillating view and lovely the outdoor seating. <br/><br/>Ambience (5/5)<br/>The garden adjoining the property is fairly large and filled with greenery. The water fountains add the tune of flowing water to the theme and makes this place a perfect place for a relaxed and laid back meal. The indoor seating on the other hand looked quite classy as well. <br/><br/>Was here for a brief meeting and all I had was their filter coffee and a cookie that was served alongside. The filter coffee was of good standard and the jeera flavoured cookie was passable.<br/><br/>Service (4.5/5)<br/>The staff are very courteous and service was really good. <br/><br/>Would love to revisit for a laid back meal.
Surabhi Koul

The Polo Club at the Oberoi, is one of my favourite places in Bangalore, not so much for the food and beverages but for the ambiance. The thick green foliage gives the area a canopy of peace and tranquility. If you were a resident of the hotel this could be your ideal place for meditation. <br/><br/>I was at the Polo Club yesterday. We ordered for some smoothies and coffee. The smoothie did not seem up to the mark. Our complaint elicited a profuse and genuine apology. We were not billed for the smoothie or the cold coffee that it was replaced with. The steward repeatedly apologised and at one point we felt bad that we had even complained. <br/><br/>You can get good food or beverage at any place, but Polo Club serves huge dollops of peace with your order. In the end, you come out with a soothing experience.

I am rating it a 5 ONLY because it happens to be my favorite place in the whole Bangalore. I have 'n' number of reasons for that - it has the best outdoor garden seating. Very quiet and peaceful amidst the noise city.  The Belgium chocolate cake(molten cake)  is to die for (if you have a sweet tooth, there is NO WAY you can miss this)! The cheese cake is very nice too! During summers, they give you fresh mango juice which is thick and not flavored. The service is good (sometimes during the evening the waiters tend to be lost in their own world though.. its still worth it). MUST TRY restaurant.

The place was chosen cause of the outdoor seating and to get a green spot in Bangalore is simply blissful. We went with family and on 1st January. <br/>The place was relatively bustling and had most covers full. We loved the ambience and the staff were impeccable in their service. We ordered the Philly Steak, Beef Steak and Veggies with Jacked Potatoes. For starters my sister indulged and ordered salmon and I ordered Tomato & Basil soup. Since we had ordered this from Le Jardin it was brought from there, we shifted to the Polo Club because of the seating and ambience. We ordered fresh juices along with our food.<br/>The staff were kind enough to shift us and bring the earlier ordered food to Polo Club. The soup tasted really good and the main course was simply brilliant. I asked for the beef steak to be done very well and they did it excellently,the meat sauce was not sweet and the veggies were well done. I also ordered homemade peach ice tea which tasted heavenly. <br/>The food,service and ambience were simply excellent and this is definitely a must visit again with family and friends.

We went there to check out for custom dinner and sadly couldn't get tables at their other restaurants and ended up in Polo Club. I like the outdoor seating overlooking the lawn on onside and the artificial waterfall on the other. No matter how you look, you dine like a King here. That's how their service is. Amazing concoctions! delicious food!!! oh and their coconut ice cream just heavenly...

It's the Oberoi. And with that comes impeccable service, gorgrous indoor and outdoor arrangements and of course, great food. The Club is surrounded by perfectly manicured lawns laced with a pretty tropical garden. Club sandwiches are a staple if we end up here late afternoons or early evenings. Generous three decks packed with goodness! Now wash it down with some chilled beer or a dessert (I love my chocolate mud cake) over a hearty conversation or in solitary peace as you take in the beauty of the generous open spaces. Highly recommended!

OK this is one good place and I do rate it very high! Its quite an amazing location and being open air makes it awesome - I just love the ability to socialize in the open air restaurants in Bangalore. The seating has been made extremely comfortable - something which you will find is sometimes difficult to get in restaurants. The food options are good. The coffee, tea and hot beverages are served the way I would like to see it - a neat individual tray of hot beverages with a small cookie - now thats how I like my coffee/tea. The sandwiches, fish, prawns, burgers and other bites are all very good - and adequately sized. A good place for the kids as the place opens into a garden. We can just let our kid be when we go here. <br/><br/>A special mention of the service at this restaurant must be made - they are really very good!

If you like the outdoors then this is the perfect setting to enjoy a beer while taking advantage of the mostly perfect Bangalore weather. They do have an indoor open seating space as well, but the best part of this restaurant is the cheery cane furniture placed in the garden. We had the house beer which was good. Some of the group had tea/coffee and wine. All the drinks selection etc was good and the service is also very good. They have a snacks and light bites menu (this zomato page doesnt show the complete menu). I had the burger which was too substantial with the accompanying beer.Should have tried some of the lighter snacks. Burger patty was well made, juicy but not underdone. Fries were crisp <br/>All in all, nice place to while away an evening while waiting for dinner, especially if your last meeting of the day got cancelled

Wow… I love visiting this property and every time I visit it’s a new feeling. My friend and me decided to meet here for lunch at Le Jardin on the 18th of March around 1.30. I reached early and had to wait for my friend. Decided to sit at Polo Club till my friend arrived. The service staff by name Aman who was in the bar at that point of time took the order, I ordered for a draught beer, the service was quick and was served cheese crackers along with the beer. He was kind enough to speak to me for a while. After finishing the beer, I ordered for a LIIT, OMG it was the best till date I have ever had I called Aman why is it so different from other bars. The difference was they had a little tender coconut water and that was really refreshing. My friend arrived in a while and we moved to Le Jardin for lunch. The entire staff was well equipped with bar accessories. A special thanks to Aman and the entire management.

Serene.... Thats what comes to mind when you sit and sip on your Single Malt at the Polo Club at the Oberoi... I've been here 2 - 3 times and always enjoyed the service and the ambience of the place... The staff are attentive and friendly. All in all - 5 stars! Just like the Oberoi!

One of the very few calm quiet place in bangalore... The one place u can go alone!... Good food , nice ambience, perhaps they can work on their menu, a very limited menu i'd say but an overall good experience

My family was visiting us in bangalore and before they go back to Delhi, I wanted to take them to a nice posh place where we adults as well as kids can have a nice relaxing time.<br/>We discovered this place by chance as we got late for lunch time and reached there around 3:30 pm (usually all restaurants close by this time). <br/>We chose to sit outside in the courtyard, I loved the decor that they have created, yellow coloured upholstery in the beautiful green and lush gardens with a pretty small artifcial lake on the lobby side with fishes which kept the kids really busy and happy.<br/>We ordered some dishes such as caeser salad with grilled chicken, , a club sandwich and indonesian tenderloin satay, tempura of prawns with a burger, tomato pizza and fries for kids. <br/>The caeser salad was pretty okay but the club sandwich and the tenderloin satay were prepared to the perfection. We order a second round of tenderloin satay, really loved the sauce on it. Kids enjoyed their pizza and burger as well. (I was really happy that they had their special kids menu) <br/>We also ordered some mocktails - kurrent cooler, crannade with lemonade which had peculiar flavours of black current and craneberry in them which we really savoured. And the guys enjoyed their drinks.<br/>For dessert, we had a some mango special icecream and rasberry cheese cake. Firstly the presentation of the dish was very impressing and the taste was as good as it looks. As I am not a choclate fan so I always go for fruit based deserts and loved the deserts to the core. They pretty much looked like the masterchef deserts.<br/>As usual the service was impeccable and the chef was courteous enough to come to our table and ask about the food.<br/>We loved our experience there and definately recommend this place for a quiet relaxing afternoon.<br/>Food: 4.5<br/>Ambiance: 4.5<br/>Service: 4.5

the best place to spend a relaxing time with friends or oneself or even for a biz meeting.

The Polo Club is a gorgeous alfresco pub, one of a kind in Bangalore, offering live entertainment with a solo band performing while you sip on cocktails surrounded by photographs from the Raj era.
Tulleeho!
he Polo Club located inside the Oberoi Hotel on M.G. Road is one of those places you go to when you just want a casual quiet drink whatever the occasion maybe.<br/><br/>Once you walk through the lobby into the lush oriental garden courtyard you are given a choice of sitting inside the English style pub with semi-private booths and small tables. Or outside in the grass filled courtyard.<br/><br/>Inside, there is a large screen television that tends to set the mood for the interior space based on the sporting program of the day.<br/><br/>If you choose to sit outside in the courtyard you have a choice between glass-topped tables with rattan chairs along the walkway or the wooden patio tables in the courtyard. While the rattan chairs are slightly more comfortable,the wooden patio tables and chairs,are closer to the pond, and provide the best atmosphere for quite dining.<br/><br/>Read the complete review on Tulleeho!
