Esteem mall is a new addition to the list of bangalore malls at a location where someone would have feared to have a mall few years back. Yes, Esteem mall is located at Hebbal near the Hebbal flyover or Hebbal lake.As the city is expanding and people started staying in peripheral areas, a mall comming up is quite natural. This kind of malls comming up with the objective of serving some particular area is quite good. Otherwise, people from the outskirts of the city, it will be a huge expectation to think of visiting other malls given the traffic these days on Bangalore roads
Built by the Esteem group is not a sub standard mall though it may look small from the front. As of now 4 floors are operational with multiple things to choose from. But looks like more floors coming up and they have the rooftop opening for the food court. One can get awesome view from the mall. They have parking facility and those who do not have vehicle, it should not be a problem to be here in the right as there is ample buses plying on the route(ShivajiNagar and Majestic) till late night. They also have a help desk at the entrance of the mall. There are two ways to enter and leave the mall - one can use the front entrance to enter or leave. Otherwise can use the separate entrance and exit on the side parallel to the side bylane.
The ground floor features stores like Wrangler, addidas, Food Bazaar, Health and Glow, Lee etc. The 1st and the 2nd floor stores like pepe jeans, peter England, Koutons, Monte Carlo, Sam and Sally, Ezone, Planet M, few high street type fashion shops, few non branded shops selling multipurpose apparels, Whizz - camera shop, Fab India, Pizza corner, a kids game parlour, Base camp - for adventure stuffs, welhome - for household stuffs, a furniture shop, few shoe stores, mermaid - branded women?s innerwear etc. They have an entire floor dedicated to food and named it Food Court located on the 3rd floor. You have many shops to choose from like Chungs Wah - Chinese food, Biriyani King - Biriyanis, Kebabs etc, Sukh Sagar - chats etc, Mir Maya, Delhi Kazana - Bhelpuri, chats, North Indian Thali etc, Ivero - Ice Cream parlour, Esteem Refresher. One can order to these shops and use the ample sitting arrangements they have made on this floor. I recommend to take the glass shielded window seats to enjoy the nice view.
This mall looked quite easy going and the crowed also seems to be good. Though the mall may not be crowded on a Sunday evening but foot fall is good enough for that area and good news that it attracts foot falls. Some shops are yet to open and maybe some more floors will be added in sometime.
