Fulfil Your Heart’s Desire with Indulgence

Fulfil Your Heart’s Desire with Indulgence

Love deserves a celebration in more ways than we may imagine. Welcome your special someone into a lovelier world and treat them to a romantic drive exploring the city’s hand-picked eat-outs.

Bangalore is known for its cosmopolitan lifestyle and this means that our beloved city never fails to surprise us with the remarkable standards of services and numerous facilities that make us feel so much more indulgent. With Valentine’s Day finally here, it is the time of the year when red roses and hearts deck up the streets and stores, and cupid conspicuously rules over the world. And, since love is so closely associated with the sinful indulgence of food and drinks, indulge your senses in the city’s finest restaurants that are going to be decked up with their best tableware, all set to dish out exclusive fare for the lovely urban couples.

Add a lustful array of limited edition cakes and drinks, and Valentine’s Day becomes a beautiful memory for you to fondly reminisce with your loved one. Did I mention that the pleasures of Valentine’s Day can get even better when love is celebrated with a romantic drive in a splendid car like the limited edition Maruti Suzuki Dzire Allure. There, there, I’ve said it now; this exclusive car will certainly make this the most memorable day of your life!
