Bengaluru has never been short on rooftops, but now and then, a space arrives that feels like it shifts the conversation. The newest to rise above the city is The Jamming Goat in Marathahalli, a sprawling 6,500 square foot brew garden from the brainchild of Kompany Hospitality’s Avinash Kapoli and Sombir Chaudary, the visionaries behind Kalpaney and SOKA. The city’s latest brew garden with 6,500 sq. ft. of open sky, and a design language that dares to be bold, isn’t just another place to dine or drink; it’s a stage set for evenings that refuse to be ordinary.
The moment you step in, it is clear that this is more than a place to eat or drink. The rooftop is crowned by a striking octopus-shaped light installation, its sculptural arms stretching outward, creating shifting shadows as the night deepens. Around it, surrealist details and fibre-reinforced art pieces lend the air of a dreamscape. The effect is playful, but also purposeful, a setting that refuses to be ordinary. But it’s not just the ambience that makes The Jamming Goat Marathahalli a true G.O.A.T. (Greatest of All Time) experience. The secret lies in its irrefutable culinary excellence.
The kitchen carries forward that intent. Seafood leads the menu, most notably in the Goat Meets Sea section, which brings coastal comfort with a contemporary edge. Plates like Stuffed Bhangda Fry and Dantu Soppu Ratatouille Poppers speak to both craft and familiarity, while dishes such as Lemon Herb Prawns on focaccia, Spicy Octopus Stir Fry, and the Tandoori Coconut Lobster with mustard mayo command the table. There is also room for whimsy, with Chicken Cafreal Arancini, Crispy Broccoli Poppers with avocado-wasabi mousse, and a deconstructed Serradura that balances nostalgia with surprise. At the bar, irrelevance takes center stage. Cocktails are playful riffs on the classics, not a G&T, not a Whisky Sour, and the tropical Goat in Goa.
