She calls Asha Tiffins “everyone’s favourite” for its classic South Indian dishes like dosa, idli, filter coffee etc. She says Rameshwaram Café is “obviously popular and great.” However, one should also not forget Amudham for its Ghee Podi Idli and Ghee Podi Masala Dosa. She recommends Nagarjuna for Andhra-style thali and unlimited food. For North Indian cuisine, she suggests Punjabi Kitchen, as well as Viennese Kitchen, Thar and Rajdhani (for Rajasthani food). For Maharashtrian cuisine, she mentions Gavran Misal and Purnabrahma.
In HSR, she recommends Namaste and Aligarh House for affordable food. She points out that Grameen has “good vegetarian food”. According to her, Kota Kachori and Sangam are the favorite places for Kachori, but she clarifies that people generally have mixed reviews about them. She also mentioned Meghna Biryani and said, “You must have heard about her a lot. Initially, I didn’t get the publicity, but it’s amazing!” For ice cream, she recommends Corner House, Polar Bear, and Milo’s.
(4/n) eating places
– Asha Tiffins is everyone’s favorite apart from dosa, idli and of course filter coffee!
-Rameshwaram is obviously popular and great, but there is also Amudham which comes with its finger-licking Ghee Podi Idli and Ghee Podi Masala Dosa.
– Nagarjuna for Andhra…– Aditi Tibarewal (@aditi_tibarewal) 14 January 2025
The thread also included recommendations specifically for Chole Bhature – a dish that is widely loved in Delhi. X User says that Nataraja in Bengaluru is the best place for this. She mentions Shyam Chole Bhature, but admits that she has not tried it yet. She says Anand’s Old Delhi is “very homely”. She also tells that on Sundays she walks to the Chole Kulcha shop in front of NIFT, but she never remembers its name.

Very good. Quite a good introduction for newcomers to Bengaluru.
There’s plenty more good food to explore in Bangalore, the list will expand as you spend more time here, and some great day trips to explore from North Bengaluru.Do visit CTR in Malleshwaram for the best Ben Masala…
