Bengaluru foodies, take note — there's a fresh buzz at ITC Gardenia. EDO Restaurant & Bar, a longtime favourite for Japanese cuisine, has reopened its doors with a whole new vibe, and it’s unlike anything the city has seen before.
The revamped EDO isn’t just a restaurant anymore — it’s an experience. Inspired by Tokyo’s lively izakaya culture, the new design blends high-energy street style with casual, small-plate dining. Think bold colours, Japanese pop-art splashed across the walls, and an atmosphere that feels more like an urban Tokyo night than a formal fine-dine setting.
You’ll still find all the EDO classics — sushi, teppanyaki, robatayaki, and tempura — but now the menu goes a step further. Dishes like miso-charred eggplant, sweet potato tempura, and house-made pickles have joined the lineup, adding layers of flavour and variety. Live counters let you watch your sushi or skewers being made right in front of you, adding an exciting, interactive touch.
And here’s something new — the drinks menu has been turned into a playful tribute to Japanese pop culture. Cocktails inspired by anime characters (yes, really!) share space with a top-shelf selection of sake and Japanese whisky. Whether you're a die-hard anime fan or just up for a fun night out, these drinks promise to get the conversation flowing.
The space itself has also been thoughtfully reimagined. There are now four private dining rooms for those special dinners or business meetings, and the outdoor terrace has been expanded for al fresco dining — perfect for Bengaluru’s breezy evenings.
Originally opened in 2010, EDO has long had a reputation for quality and authenticity. This revamp doesn’t forget that — it just turns the volume up. Every detail, from the plating to the playlist, has been carefully designed to create a vibe that’s both stylish and inviting.
So, whether you’re a sushi regular, a curious first-timer, or someone looking for a unique place to unwind with friends, the new EDO has something for you. It’s not just a meal anymore — it’s a trip to Tokyo, right in the heart of Bengaluru. And trust us, you’ll want to come back for seconds.
