Nicknamed the Black Box on Whitefield Road, this swanky new space {they don’t call themselves a mall, you see} is worth the trip to Whitefield. Pick from international brands like H&M, BCBGeneration and Superdry if you’re hoping to do a spot of shopping. They also have a concept store for Adidas Originals {the only one in the country!}. On the food front, they have outlets serving everything from Andhra and Punjabi cuisine to Chinese and Middle Eastern dishes. Load up on Italian specials from Toscano, churros from Gobble Me Up and ice cream sandwiches from Nutty Squirrel. Up for some pampering? Head to Spa La Vie by L’Occitane, and then end your trip here with a movie at the nine-screen PVR IMAX {apparently the largest in the city}. VR Bengaluru also hosts regular farmers’ markets, weekend performances, and has a legit carousel for endless entertainment for kids.
