The Humming Tree (Closed since Covid)

Not really a place to be visited just to eat but The Humming Tree is an art, music and performance space that also serves food and beverages. It is on of the cool Bangalore Restaurants and a Live Music Venue. Editor loves this place 🙂 Humming tree is not just about food. It’s also the music which comes with the food. This place offers you only a limited menu (which saves you a lot of time). A great place to hang out in the evening with your friends, sipping a beverage according to your morale, tasting some fine cheesecake, listening to the soothing music……..
