A Soirée of Gratitude: Citrus Curates an Extraordinary Thanksgiving Feast at The Leela Palace Bengaluru

Bangalore, 23 November, 2025: Embark on an epicurean journey this season as Citrus, the acclaimed all-day dining destination offering world cuisine at The Leela Palace Bengaluru, unveils its extraordinary Thanksgiving Dinner on November 27th, a celebration where cherished traditions meet refined reimagination, and gratitude finds expression through exquisite flavour.

This is not merely a festive meal. It is an invitation into a world of culinary craftsmanship and understated grandeur, where each dish becomes a quiet meditation on abundance, each flavour a tribute to the art of gathering. Here, Thanksgiving is elevated beyond tradition; it becomes an immersive experience that lingers long after the evening concludes.

True to its legacy of crafting distinctive culinary rituals from famed Sunday Brunches to weekend specials that have become Bengaluru institutions, Citrus brings a renewed sense of discovery to this Thanksgiving. Renowned for its delicate warmth of Kashmiri spices, the whisper of wood-fired Italian craft, and the serene harmony of Southeast Asian creations, dining here transcends the ordinary. It unfolds gracefully, dish by dish, note by note, mirroring the enchantment of the season itself.

A Feast of Gratitude: A Decadent Thanksgiving Spread Awaits

 The Thanksgiving buffet is crafted as a layered experience, unfolding like chapters in a story. Guests can look forward to a curated assortment of salads, Western mains, Indian specialties, Middle Eastern favourites, Asian classics, artisanal breads, imported cheeses, the sushi counter, and wood-fired pizzas, completing a global tapestry of flavour and setting the stage for an extraordinary Thanksgiving feast.

The highlight of the evening begins at the Carving Station, where the majestic Roast Tom Turkey commands attention with its classic accompaniments - cranberry sauce, sage stuffing, glazed sweet potatoes, and brussels sprouts with chestnuts - while the roast of baby lamb adds a note of rustic elegance.

Guests are next drawn to the BBQ Live Counter, where the sizzle of fresh seafood and flame-kissed meats creates an irresistible allure. Baby lobsters, red snapper, seabass, buffalo medallions, lamb ossobuco, tandoori quail, and tender poultry selections are charred to perfection, while a colourful array of vegetarian grills from tandoori malai broccoli to paneer shashlik add balance and vibrancy.

At the Cured and Smoked Selection, expect a trio of beautifully cured salmon - beetroot, dill-vodka, and kaffir lime–coriander - each offering a distinct shift from earthy to bright. These are complemented by rich Beef Bresaola, Smoked Chicken Breast, and Mediterranean-spiced turkey mortadella. The showcase concludes with the exquisite Homemade Terrines, featuring corn-fed chicken & pistachio and a delicate citrus-infused fish mosaic, each one layered, refined, and deeply flavourful.

And then comes the finale: a dessert buffet that feels almost dreamlike. Pumpkin tortes, champagne-soaked trifles, pistachio éclairs, caramel-chocolate creations, raspberry and mango pastries, and rich Belgian chocolate offerings create a sweet, shimmering landscape - one that brings the evening to a lingering, luxurious close.

 A meal at Citrus has always been a journey of flavour and feeling thoughtful, layered, and quietly indulgent. This Thanksgiving too, let Citrus at The Leela Palace Bengaluru enchant you with flavours that tell stories, memories that unfold at the table, and a celebration that captures the magic of togetherness.
