pukka South Indian tiffin saar...
well well well..one of those places whose details are handed down from generation to generation..my dad's hang out,n tho i confess its not mine i go there when all the oily fare one usually eats makes u think of giving up on food(for a while at-least)..their menu is very simple..our old and faithful tummy filler the humble idlis,khara bath,kesari bath,vadas dunked in chutney or sambar and what a lot of people swear by..their coffee(im not a coffee drinker meself) even tho the prices are on the steeper side compared to the darshinis,its well worth it as they are all home made..altho be warned the place gets pretty crowded what with people clamoring for this yummy stuff to pack in their children's lunch boxes..its a pleasant eat out all in all if one gets an arms space on their tables outside..

For the best idly, vada and chutney in Bangalore
Being one of the oldest eat joint in Bangalore, they serve the best butter idlies, crispy vadas and of course mouth watering chutney along with it.
It’s a very small place, one needs to pay for whatever they want to eat at the counter which is almost on the footpath, sneak in and place the order. The man who takes the order, would be passing it on to the people in the kitchen. And this, he does verbally and continuously… I wonder how the order comes out perfectly, don’t people there get confused?? There’s nothing in written they count on. Its all in the mind. Well, whatever, they are the perfectionists and have been doing it for ages now.
The idlies and the vadas are completely dipped in the chutney…. Believe me, many people, like me, go for the second and the third servings of chutney. To avoid the rush and the spillover of chutney, there’s a different counter outside, where this man, serves only chutney. How can a bangalorean’s meal get over without sipping the hot and fresh filter coffee. Its an amazing way to end the meal with satisfaction.
People who want to try this super soft idlies, need to be there before 12 in the noon, between 3-7 in the evening and definitely not on Sundays as they remain closed.

Yummy food, but too many people
The food here is pretty revered among the locals and loads of folks throng the place when they get a chance.
However, the place is just a hole in the wall. This owner needs to at least expand the place, if not start a branch elsewhere.
It's almost an ordeal trying to get your food out from that serving counter, but once out, you can dig in, baby!!! And you'll feel like going back for more. A minor improvement that is there's an unfriendly elderly gent standing out on the footpath who serves up some extra chutney, in case you need it. This means you don't need to fight Brahmin's Battle to get your second filling.

Mmm...... is the word for it
Nothing beats hot and soft idlis with dollop of butter in the early in the morning.
If you want to beat the crowd ... go at 7.
Vadas are very crisp and the chutney is just perfect.
The timings is very limited though. It closes around 12 pm and opens again around 3pm.
A must for idli lovers!!!

Best Idlis in Bangalore
Awesome idlis and coffee. Only drawback is that the place is so crowded that getting your order is an endeavor. But the manner in which the proprietor remembers the order and calculates the amount is amazing in itself.
Definitely scores over the over-hyped and oily MTR offerings
