Woodside Inn Indiranagar Introduces New Menu with Coastal and European Influences

Woodside Inn Indiranagar Introduces New Menu with Coastal and European Influences

By Manu Vardhan Kannan

Published on April 21, 2026

Woodside Inn Indiranagar has expanded its menu with a fresh set of dishes, developed in collaboration with Chef Gracian de Souza. Rooted in coastal Indian flavours and shaped by European techniques, the new additions stay true to the restaurant’s approach of serving familiar food with thoughtful detail.

The menu builds on a sense of comfort that feels familiar yet slightly reworked. Drawing inspiration from Goa’s coastal cuisine, the charm of old Irani cafés, and the style of European gastropubs, the dishes come together as a balanced mix of nostalgia and craft. The idea is simple, take known flavours and present them in a way that feels fresh without losing their original appeal.

Each dish reflects this approach in a subtle way. The Mackerel Escabeche, served on charred sourdough, reimagines bangda with a Spanish-style marinade that adds a light acidity. The Prawn Ajillo with Fermented Bombay XO combines garlic prawns with a house-fermented sauce, bringing in a deeper coastal flavour. The Irani Kheema Ghotala pairs spiced goat mince with soft-boiled egg, saffron garlic labneh, and warm pita, keeping the essence intact while adding a refined touch.

The menu also includes European-inspired plates with a local connection. The Tagliatelle Carbonara is served with cured egg yolk and pickled green peppercorns, adding more depth to a classic dish. The Chourico & Prawn Risotto brings together Goan chourico with a contemporary European style. The Club House Chicken à la Kiev takes inspiration from Bombay’s gymkhana dining culture, filled with garlic truffle butter for a richer finish.

Two new pizzas have been introduced as well. The So Mushroom Bianco features duxelles and caramelised onions, while the Goan Odyssey is topped with chourico ragù and ricotta. The Picklehouse Toastie, layered with multiple cheeses and a sweet-tart fruit compote, adds a playful touch to the menu.

These additions have been crafted with Chef Gracian de Souza, a Goa-born culinary consultant with over 23 years of experience across India and the UK. His background in modern European kitchens, along with his strong connection to Goan cuisine, is reflected across the menu. His work often brings together regional influences shaped by his time spent exploring Portuguese food traditions.

“The new menu items are a natural conversation between the coasts of Goa and the Iberian Peninsula. The techniques are European, but the soul is unmistakably Indian, and that's exactly where I feel most at home as a cook,” says Chef Gracian de Souza.

The menu has also been shaped keeping Bengaluru diners in mind. “Bangalore diners are incredibly well-travelled and open to experimentation, but they also appreciate comfort and familiarity. This sits right in that sweet spot,” says Aneesh Jog, Assistant General Manager, Neighbourhood Hospitality: Woodside Inn.

At Woodside Inn Indiranagar, food has always played a central role alongside its 14 taps and freezer door cocktails. With these new additions, the restaurant continues to build on that experience, offering dishes that feel both familiar and thoughtfully updated.

BarNaan Brookfield has unveiled its new signature menu curated by Gurneet Singh, bringing together authentic Indian flavours, contemporary presentation, and globally inspired elements.

The newly launched menu celebrates the depth and diversity of Indian cuisine through a carefully curated selection of tandoori dishes, classic curries, comforting homestyle preparations, and aromatic biryanis, designed to appeal to both traditional diners and modern global palates.

One of the standout highlights of the menu is the Tandoori Salmon, where salmon fillets are marinated with yogurt, lime, and house-ground spices before being cooked in the tandoor, offering a refined seafood interpretation of traditional Indian grilling techniques. The popular Tandoori Chicken also remains a key feature, prepared with cream, herbs, and spices before being charred to perfection.

The “Classics” section of the menu pays tribute to iconic Indian dishes with preparations such as Tikka Masala, Korma, Saag, Rogan Josh, Madras, Vindaloo, Jalfrezi, and traditional Curry, each crafted using balanced spice blends and authentic cooking methods.

Chef Gurneet Singh has also introduced a range of house specialties that blend comfort with indulgence. Signature dishes include the much-loved Butter Chicken served in a rich tomato-butter gravy, Loaded Tikka Fries topped with paneer or chicken, mozzarella cheese, and tikka masala sauce, along with the flavourful Paneer Butter Masala prepared using house spice blends and tandoor cooking techniques.

Adding a nostalgic touch to the dining experience, the “Mom’s Specials” section features comforting dishes inspired by Indian home kitchens, including Malai Kofta, Chana Masala, Daal Tadka, and Aloo Gobi, celebrating traditional regional cooking styles and familiar flavours.

The biryani selection forms another major highlight of the menu, featuring Vegetable Biryani, Chicken Biryani, Lamb Biryani, Shrimp Biryani, and the indulgent House Biryani layered with chicken, lamb, shrimp, fragrant basmati rice, herbs, and aromatic spices.

Speaking about the launch, Chef Gurneet Singh shared, “This menu reflects our vision of presenting Indian cuisine in a way that feels both authentic and contemporary. We wanted to preserve the soul of traditional Indian cooking while introducing creative elements and elevated flavours that resonate with today’s diners.”

With its refreshed culinary direction, BarNaan Brookfield continues to strengthen its position as a destination for modern Indian dining, combining tradition, innovation, and warm hospitality in a contemporary setting
