My food trip to Bangalore - 4

Day 4, Jan 02, 2010


The last morning of the holiday was upon us. Having been to all the hot-spots in the city, we had a lot of time on our hands and hunger-pangs in our stomachs. We set out @ 8 am with our minds set on the b'fast of the day. Our taxi-driver suggested Adiga's @ Malleswaram. 


We were surprised to notice that the darshini style b'fast was the only way people here had their b'fasts. And, I was always made to believe that food should be had seated and not on your feet. But, I guess, Grandma stories are ...


We ordered idli, vada, dosas and coffee, the regular. Oh! How I just could not eat the dosas. They are too heavily ghee-laden and too thick for my choice. But the idli, vada and the coffee was nice.


We made our way to Devanahalli where we visited a Jain Temple. Beautifully done up place...


Our lunch destination was, Raj Vansh @ Sigma Mall.


Warning: The menu contents may make you drool and your mouth water. Please read at your own risk...


The Menu:



  • dal-bati, churma (loaded with badam, pista)
  • masala dhokla
  • kati roll (it was more like a rolled-up cutlet, actually)
  • papad
  • sweet & sour chutney
  • coriander chutney
  • salad
  • raita
  • vatana nu shak (green peas curry)
  • punjabi aloo (potatoes cooked in punjabi style)
  • turiya vatana (ridged gourd and green peas)
  • ker sangri (traditional rajasthani vegetable)
  • aam ras kadhi
  • gujarati kadhi
  • dal
  • rotli
  • puran poli
  • puri
  • aam ras
  • rosogolla
  • fruit custard
  • plain rice
  • khichdi
  • pulav
  • paan (@ rs 15 each)
Phew...couldn't eat more... The lunch thali costs just Rs. 200/-. We had to have a siesta after this- a 1-hour siesta.

Evening tea was @ barista @ garuda mall. This was to be our last evening in Bangalore. And we also had to finish some mithai shopping for friends and relatives. So off we went to K C Das (the best in town for son papdi and bengali sweets), Anand Sweets. 

Anytime you go to Bangalore, do not miss pani puri @ Tiwari Sweets (very close to Commercial Sweets).

Also worth trying are the chaats @ anand sweets..

Our holiday came to an end and surprisingly, inspite of a good time, I was glad to be returning home...
