At The Oberoi, you can treat your partner, your special one, to what we think is an incredibly romantic dinner setting -- picture the open-air gardens of the property, and there's a beautiful table that's been set up for you, complete with candlelight, of course. That,t paired with a starry night (Bangalore skies are quite accommodating that way) and the warm glow from the lanterns hanging from the trees, you might wonder if Elton John might jump out of the bushes and sing "Can You Feel The Love Tonight?". He doesn't, but you get the next best thing -- a symphony of flavours of your choosing. Pick from Western to South Asian, and let the chefs serve up some of the finest meals as you and your partner enjoy the night. Oh, and did we tell you, you'll have your own butler to ensure everything goes perfectly?
