There are lots of good restaurants. What kinds of places are you interested in? Off the top of my head, Koshy's is good for old-time indian classics and the coffee and the atmosphere, Coconut Grove for coastal food, Ramana's for north vegetarian, Nandhini for thalis (veg. combination meals). I also like the lunch buffet at Sikander, inside the Garuda mall.
For non-Indian, there's the Only Place for a good burger, Sunny's for expensive mediterranean. The Vietnamese place at the Taj West End is prob. very good. I haven't eaten there though.

Mavalli Tiffin Rooms
Lalbagh Road
Tel: 080-2220022.
This is a kind of a Bangalore institution and would be first on my list. Great food, supposedly the best dosas in India. . I think there is one in the Hyatt in New Delhi as well.
Olive Beach
16 Wood Street
Ashoknagar
Tel: 5112-8400.
This is a branch of the restaruatns in Delhi and Mumbai. Very good Italaian, what they are calling “Mediterran-fusion”. Nice lively atmosphere.
The Italia Restaurant in the Park Hotel is quite good, and the hotel has the very popular i-bar too. I also think all the restaurants in the Leela are good, both western and India.
Most of all, however, try to get invited home by colleagues. India is the one place I have found in almost 20 years of living in Asia where you are likely to be invited to someone’s home for a meal, and you should say yes at every opportunity. Almost always excellent food (often different regional dishes) and an opportunity to meet people.

Cicerone, I must confess that MTR is high overrated. It is also located in one of the most unappetising, noisy of places in the city.
New Krishna Bhawan in Malleshwaram is an old Bangalore institution for vegetarian S Indian food. On Sundays they make unusual traditional items. In Indiranagar, South Indies provides an interesting vegetarian buffet for 200 rupees. There are a la carte options as well.
At the high end, the restaurants at The Oberoi to be excellent.

We go to Ramana's quite often for lunch as it's close to the office. I love their food although it's veg. I actually would go there more and bring take out back to my hotel if they at least had chicken.
I thought the food at the open air restaurant at the Taj West End was blah. We just ordered appetizers but it was nothing to write home about. I hope it was not the Vietnamese place as I wasn't impressed.
I plan to order a lot at the Thai place at the Oberoi until the thought of eating another coconut curry will make me tire of it. Ha Ha. Will post my findings.
