Home-style Iyengar canteen serving authentic delicious Brahmin food!

Nestled in the by-lanes of NR Colony is this humble Brahmin’s canteen serving the most delicious South Indian food not to be found anywhere else in Bangalore.

Dropped by on a Sunday morning bicycle ride. Ordered a Thatte idli, Masala dosa and Benne Khali dosa. The dosas are soft yet crispy unlike the hard kind found in other Bangalore eateries. Finished the breakfast with a traditional Brahmin filter coffee. The only phrase that adequately describes the food is ‘home-style’.

They don’t use garlic or onion in their preparations yet nothing seems to be lacking in flavour. They don’t use cooking soda as well, which is why you won’t feel bloated even after a sumptuous meal.

There are no tables or chairs and seating is limited. Place could use some standing tables like the darshini eateries of Bangalore.

Drop by if you’re in the mood for authentic Brahmin food!

Quiet place, limited selection but wholesome tasting food. Their traditional food is quite the hit, and there's a little place to sit quietly and eat. They have majige huuli on Saturdays only. Their menu is different for each day, and some items are only available in the morning slot and some in the evening slot
