Holiday Inn Bengaluru Racecourse is pleased to announce the official relaunch of its speciality restaurant, Glass Kitchen & Bar. The establishment unveils a sophisticated culinary direction inspired by the diverse heritage of India’s southern coastline. The menu offers a contemporary interpretation of coastal flavours, seamlessly aligning with Glass Kitchen & Bar’s modern, sophisticated identity.
The redesigned menu is a meticulous reinterpretation of coastal gastronomy through a contemporary lens. By synthesizing the culinary traditions of coastal fringes, the restaurant offers a narrative emphasizing the coast, seasonal produce and slow traditional cooking techniques. These influences come together in a menu that feels both nostalgic and contemporary, honouring regional authenticity while embracing modern culinary sensibilities.
Shiv Bose, General Manager of Holiday Inn Bengaluru Racecourse, commented on the strategic shift: “With the introduction of ‘A Coast Apart,’ we are repositioning Glass Kitchen & Bar with a definitive culinary identity that resonates with the evolving preferences of the modern epicurean. The menu balances innovation and nostalgia, featuring distinctive offerings such as Tender Coconut Payasam Ice Cream, the thoughtfully curated ‘Amma’s Corner,’ and signature Glass Special Starter Platters crafted for shared indulgence. Spearheaded by Chef Tirupathi and Chef Ajit, this cohesive culinary narrative brings together nuanced coastal flavours with presentation.”
“At Glass Kitchen & Bar, we set out to create a menu defined by distinctive flavours and thoughtful contrasts, delivering a layered and immersive dining experience. As the specialty restaurant at Holiday Inn Bengaluru Racecourse, Glass continues to champion refined yet authentic cuisine, and ‘A Coast Apart’ brings that vision to life through a focused coastal narrative. We believe regional favourites such as Lobster Mappas, Meen Pollichathu, Kuttu Paratha and Gongura Mamsam will particularly resonate with our guests”, said Ajit Tiwari, Executive Chef at Holiday Inn Bengaluru Racecourse
Complementing the coastal menu is an inventive beverage experience led by Kuldeep Bhure, Food & Beverage Manager, who shares his enthusiasm for the newly introduced cocktail selection under the banner “Madya Mix.” Designed to pair seamlessly with the dishes, the range features signature creations such as Coorg’s Paradise, Bangalore Blossom, and Memories by Glass. Crafted using botanicals widely found along India’s coastal belt, these innovative mixed beverages are layered with tropical infusions and citrus-forward notes, thoughtfully composed to enhance the bold, flavour-rich nuances of the cuisine.
With this relaunch, Glass Bar & Kitchen solidifies its status as a premier destination for contemporary Indian coastal cuisine, driven by culinary craftsmanship and thoughtful storytelling. The revamped menu is a must-try, offering an elaborate selection that caters to diverse palates. With extended service hours spanning both lunch and dinner, guests can choose their preferred dining time while exploring their favourite dishes from this expansive coastal repertoire.
