FOOD, GLORIOUS FOOD

Indian, Chinese, Arabian, Mexican, French, Continental, Italian...

Your visit to Bengaluru isn’t complete if you haven’t sampled its cuisine. And your journey begins with Vidyarthi Bhavan. If their dosas and idlis aren’t filling enough, dropping by MTR will please the glutton in you. Feast on the fish curry-rice at Fishland in Gandhinagar or munch on the magai paanwala on St Mark’s Road.

From mutton biriyani at the Akhada in Shivajinagar to paneer, chicken and egg rolls at Fanoos in Johnson Market, the city is a foodie’s paradise and a gourmet’s delight.
