It always pays to know where the watering holes are, in case you need to make a pit stop in the meandering wilderness that Bengaluru has become. If you are ever in the Whitefield part of the city and in the mood for a bite, you could check out Proxy Rooftop Bar and Kitchen. The approach road and even the interior of the hotel might raise eyebrows, but once you reach the rooftop, the transformation is pretty drastic. Open on three sides, Proxy is as breezy as its decor — a fusion of fun and functionality.
The menu too takes the idea of fusion forward in an attempt to bring together the cuisines of the north and south of the country (or even the eastern and western influences of the globe). This could explain why traditional French ratatouille and chicken steak sit smack between paneer in hot garlic sauce and chicken tikka butter masala on the bill of fare.
