This is the WelcomSthalika at WelcomHotel by ITC H

This is the WelcomSthalika at WelcomHotel by ITC Hotels, Bengaluru. A unique concept that showcases the culinary traditions of the region. So there is a local thaali, based on the WelcomHotel you go to. This one at WelcomCafé Jacaranda is The Karnataka Sthalika that has an interesting selecction of native regional specialties ranging from North Karnataka, Karavali coastal Karnataka, Coorg, South Karnataka and the princely Royal city of Mysore. A great way to experience Karnataka on a plate. Vegetarian at INR 799+taxes and non vegetarian at INR 899+taxes. A meal that I highly recommend you try.
Thanks @amandeep2369 and @iamsimonti for your wonderful company. Loved the custom experience and your attention to detail.
