Celebrate Oktoberfest 2012 at the Sheraton Bangalore Hotel

It's the 12th year of the Oktoberfest making way to Bangalore. Sheraton Bangalore Hotel opens the season at their Multi Cuisine All Day Dining Restaurant Feast in all its festivity. The place is all set with the blue and white checkered flags, the pretzels and German ginger hearts hanging and of course the food.

Bratwurst

The Exective Chef Bela Reick walked me through the menu and the buffet starts with a assortment of breads to be tried with the authentic Obatzda Cheese dip. Then comes in the salad section wtih some bavarian delights such as the Munich style Sausage salad with cheese, Pasta Salad with Peas and Cooked Ham. A must try is the Mini German Meat Patties with some hot mustard, two kinds of Potato salads, a pickled Cucumber and Dill salad and also a Tomato Salad. Moving onto the soups the famous Sweet and Sour Lentil Soup with Sausages and the Potato and Leek Soup with croutons is a warmer.

The Oktoberfest is on till the 23rd of September, so be sure to revel in some of the festivity.The Dinner buffet is priced at INR1495 plus taxes with unlimited beer and the Lunch Buffet without alcohol at INR995 plus taxes. I would highly recommend going for the dinner because the mood sets in for celebration with the live music and the general ambiance and of course good company if your going with one. So get going while it lasts at the Feast, Sheraton Bangalore.
