An Indian cornucopia in the center of Madrid
Let's recap, not long ago we talked about benares , the chef's restaurant Atul Kochhar and his incredible secret garden. And also from Surya , a temple in Callao that revolutionizes with its version of the hubbub of the streets and street food of Mumbai.
With them a precedent was set. Indian restaurants could stand out, in addition to their food, also with their decoration. And it turns out we've discovered a newcomer that has it all: outstanding food and cosmopolitan decor.

Bangalore Modern Indian Cuisine It is the new restaurant of the owners of the also Hindu purnima . While this one -his little brother of him- of him, has specialized in traditional recipes, in Bangalore risk and go further with a modern vision of Indian cuisine.
Here they have wanted to get away from everything known and have opted to have one of the leading interior design studios of many who open a restaurant: Madrid in Love .
Chicken Korma
Here Bengaluru , the one they call the 'garden city of India' , has been reinterpreted wonderfully. Vegetation, details in perfect harmony, marble tables, sophisticated upholstery and lamps made from pai-pai that you will want to take home (me the first).
The restaurant is conceived on two floors: the first facing the street, has a bar area, while the second is in the local basement, but they have solved it so well including a small patio with plants , which makes you think that you are in the most exclusive garden in India and not in a Madrid underground.
