Holiday Inn Bengaluru Racecourse relaunches Glass Kitchen & Bar

Holiday Inn Bengaluru Racecourse has re-launched its specialty restaurant, Glass Kitchen & Bar, unveiling a refined culinary direction inspired by the diverse heritage of India’s southern coastline. The refreshed concept introduces a contemporary interpretation of coastal flavours, aligning seamlessly with the restaurant’s modern and sophisticated identity.

Titled ‘A Coast Apart,’ the menu presents a meticulous reinterpretation of coastal gastronomy through a contemporary lens. Drawing from the culinary traditions of India’s coastal fringes, the offering places emphasis on seasonal produce and slow, traditional cooking techniques. The result is a narrative-driven menu that feels both nostalgic and progressive, honouring regional authenticity while embracing modern presentation and sensibilities.

Shiv Bose, General Manager, said the repositioning establishes a definitive culinary identity tailored to evolving guest preferences. Distinctive highlights include Tender Coconut Payasam Ice Cream, the curated ‘Amma’s Corner,’ and the Glass Special Starter Platters designed for shared indulgence. Spearheaded by Chef Tirupathi and Executive Chef Ajit Tiwari, the menu weaves nuanced coastal flavours into a cohesive dining experience. Regional favourites such as Lobster Mappas, Meen Pollichathu, Kuttu Paratha and Gongura Mamsam are expected to resonate strongly with guests.

Complementing the cuisine is an inventive beverage programme led by Food & Beverage Manager Kuldeep Bhure under the banner “Madya Mix.” Signature cocktails including Coorg’s Paradise, Bangalore Blossom and Memories by Glass feature coastal botanicals, tropical infusions and citrus-forward notes crafted to pair seamlessly with the bold flavours of the menu.

With extended lunch and dinner service, the relaunch reinforces Glass Kitchen & Bar’s positioning as a destination for contemporary Indian coastal dining rooted in craftsmanship and storytelling.
