Swiing, Indiranagar — Where Southeast Asia Meets a Glass of Wine and a Lot of Style 🍷✨
Indiranagar’s 12th Main just got itself a new spot that’s equal parts chic, cozy, and oh-so-Bengaluru in spirit. Swiing Gourmet Table & Wine Bar — the brainchild of Chef Tarun Sibal (of Titlie, Goa fame) and Akshay Luthria (the force behind Street Storyss) — brings a slice of Southeast Asia to our city’s trendiest food lane, with small plates, big flavours, and a lot of personality.
🌿 The Vibe
Step inside and you’ll find yourself in a dreamy glasshouse bathed in natural light by day, transforming into a moody, gold-lit wine bar by night. The rattan details, blue-and-gold accents, and private dining space make it the perfect setting for everything from date nights to intimate celebrations. Whether it’s a midweek catch-up or a Friday unwind, Swiing’s vibe adapts like Bengaluru’s weather — effortlessly.
🍽️ The Food
There’s no strict label here — and that’s the fun part. The menu dances between coastal India and Southeast Asia, letting familiar flavours take a little trip abroad.
Sundal Hummus steals the show early on — think hummus with a South Indian twist, paired not with pita but chakkli for the perfect crunch.
Grilled Butta (corn kernels in corn juice with togarashi spice) is a delightful ode to the streets — just more refined.
Kingfish Masala Fry arrives with a mango-peanut salad, while the Cocoa Butter Prawns are Bangkok on a plate — rich, silky, and worth seconds.
The Lobster Tail Laksa with its rasam-spiked broth is a crossover masterpiece — coastal spice meets Singapore comfort.
And if you’re adventurous, the Goat Gochujang Ghee Roast with Kerala laccha bread is one of those fusion experiments that actually works.
🍷 The Drinks
You’ll want to linger here. The wine list is extensive yet inviting, perfect for casual sippers and seasoned oenophiles alike. The wine and sake cocktails are cleverly done — the Swiing A Ling and Tropical Bellini are both summer in a glass.

🪶 Being Bengaluru Take
Swiing feels like the kind of place Bengaluru has been waiting for — laidback yet luxe, experimental yet comforting. A spot where conversations flow as smoothly as the wine and every dish comes with a touch of home and wanderlust.
Pro Tip: Go for the food, stay for the wine. And if you spot the Lobster Laksa on the menu — don’t think twice.
