Dim sum is basically an excuse to put lots of little things on the table and argue over who gets the last one. Bangalore has plenty of places making that plan particularly tempting.

Did you know dim sum isn’t actually one dish? It’s a whole style of eating built around small portions, tea and sharing, which explains why “just one more basket” is rarely part of the plan. The fun is in trying a little bit of everything, ideally while someone at the table is still pretending they’re not hungry. Bangalore has taken that idea and given it plenty of its own personality. Think Manga-covered dining rooms, dramatic bars, tiny alleyway-inspired spaces and terraces where dim sum can easily turn into a longer lunch or dinner. Here’s where we’d start.

Bao To Me

A fun bit of dim sum history: the name is commonly translated as “to touch the heart”, and the tradition grew alongside tea drinking in China. So yes, technically ordering enough small plates to fill the table is completely in the spirit of things. Misu when you want the room to be as memorable as the food.YAZU when dim sum needs to come with terrace drinks.YouMee for something casual, colourful and Manga-filled.Bao To Me when you want a smaller space with loads of character.Basically, come hungry and don’t pretend you’re going to share everything equally. That never works anyway.Download the District App to reserve your table, enjoy the best offers, and discover your next favourite spot.
