Bengaluru: Garden city’s Ghouls, ghosts, and gourmands, assemble! This Halloween, the city’s cauldrons are bubbling over with more than just magic potions. If your idea of a haunting good time involves less trick-or-treating and more “treat yourself,” you’ve come to the right crypt. We’ve scoured the city, from eerie rooftops to cobweb-covered corners, to find the most spook-tacular Halloween lunches and dinners. Get ready to sink your fangs into something delicious.
This isn’t just about pumpkin spice; it’s a full-blown culinary masquerade. Chefs across the city are swapping their toques for wizard hats, conjuring up everything from ghoulishly good “Witch’s Brew” soups and “Bloody Beetroot” risottos to sinfully delicious “Graveyard” grills. This is Halloween in Bengaluru at its most gourmet—think bewitched brunches with “Ghost Blood Muffins,” haunted dinner buffets serving “Mummy Wraps,” and cocktails that look back at you. So, park your broomsticks and pull up a chair; the feast is about to begin.
SOCIAL: Where the Grind Meets the Grave
This Halloween, SOCIAL is turning the horrors of workplace burnout into the ultimate fright night.

The familiar café will be transformed into an immersive haunted office, complete with cubicle graveyards and ‘Missing’ posters for employees lost to the grind.
