Easter arrives with a certain expectation — of lightness, indulgence and a table that feels as celebratory as the occasion itself. At 24/7, the all-day dining restaurant at The LaLiT Ashok Bengaluru, the festive brunch rises to the occasion with an offering that is both expansive and thoughtfully curated.
The first impression is one of abundance. A sweeping spread unfolds across the restaurant, inviting diners to wander, sample and return for seconds (and thirds). The salad selection alone is worth lingering over — fresh, vibrant and diverse — while the cold cuts and Mediterranean-inspired dishes bring a refined continental touch to the table. From crisp greens to delicately seasoned appetisers, there is a pleasing balance between the wholesome and the indulgent.
Moving along, the starters traverse continents with ease. Continental bites sit comfortably alongside robust Indian small plates, offering something for every palate. The chaat counter, in particular, adds a lively, nostalgic charm — a burst of tangy, spicy flavours that feel both playful and deeply satisfying. Nearby, the lassi station provides a cooling counterpoint, its creamy blends offering respite between courses.
The main course selection is where the brunch truly shines in its ambition. Indian dishes span the length and breadth of the country, showcasing regional diversity with flair — rich gravies, fragrant rice preparations and comforting classics all find a place here. Alongside, Asian offerings add another dimension, while the live stations bring theatre and freshness to the experience. The biryani station is a crowd favourite, its aromatic allure difficult to resist, while the live pasta counter delivers made-to-order comfort with a continental flourish. A roast chicken station adds a hearty option to the spread, while the build-your-own salad station caters to those seeking something lighter and personalised.
Easter, of course, would be incomplete without its signature treats and here the dessert section leans wholeheartedly into the spirit of the season. Hot cross buns, delicately spiced and perfectly soft, sit alongside an array of Easter eggs, whimsical cakes and bunny-themed confections that delight as much visually as they do on the palate. It’s a charming, almost storybook-like finish to the meal.
What sets this brunch apart, however, is its family-friendly ethos. A dedicated kids’ station ensures that younger diners are just as engaged, while the overall atmosphere remains relaxed and welcoming — ideal for a leisurely Easter afternoon spent with loved ones.
Generous without being overwhelming, festive without tipping into excess, the Easter brunch at 24/7 strikes a fine balance. It is, quite simply, the kind of meal that invites you to slow down, gather close and savour both the food and the moment — exactly what Easter should feel like.
INR 3,000 onwards per person. Only on Easter. At Kumara Krupa Road.
