An Open-Air Rooftop on the 13th Floor

ASEAN On The Edge sits on the rooftop 13th floor of Barton Centre, with open-air seating that looks across central Bengaluru. The high floor keeps it above the street noise while staying in the heart of the city, and the skyline view is as much a part of the experience as the food. The restaurant began as the Thai Terrace and has held its place on the MG Road dining map for over a decade.
 

A Menu Drawn From Across South East Asia

Most South East Asian restaurants in Bengaluru stay with Thai food. ASEAN On The Edge draws from Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, and Vietnam, with each country contributing its own dishes, alongside the Burmese Khaoswe the restaurant is known for. The menu was built by chef Gautam Krishna Putti from recipes and techniques gathered on repeated culinary trips across the region, and the kitchen leans on imported staples such as lemongrass, kaffir lime, galangal, and Gula Melaka palm sugar to keep the flavours close to the source.

Groups, Private Use, and Ordering Across the Three Outlets

ASEAN On The Edge seats about 30 to 40 guests at a full sitting. It does not have a separate private room, so a private event takes over the whole restaurant. Because all three outlets share the 13th floor, a table at ASEAN can also order Pan Indian dishes from Ebony or drinks from The 13th Floor.
