#foodwalk #basavanagudi #streetfood Early morning Food Walk at Basavanagudi Gandhi Bazar with 200₹! We covered famous 5 eateries including Vidyarthi Bhavan , Mahalakshmi Tiffin Room , SLN Mudanna Hotel , Roti Ghar and SLV corner. 1. Vidyarthi Bhavan - iconic restaurant of Namma Bengaluru! "Vidyarthi bhavan' - This place requires no introduction! Since 1943, it has won hearts of everyone and is maintaing the same quality and consistency. More than everything, two things I really love the most here. Firstly, the nostalgic feel and childhood memories flashes up as and when you enter and secondly the staff who welcomes you and treats you so well with a big smile on their face. Dosa asusal crispy on center and soft texture on corner with aloo palya and spicy kai chutney was a killer. If it is one sentence description, I would say it as a complete heaven. Price 63/- Location 📍Vidyarthi Bhavan https://goo.gl/maps/biCNddDQPwDYzgis9 2. Namma SLN / Mudanna Hotel The essence of the pulav would make you drool. Piping hot pulav served on banana leaf along with chutney is throughly enjoyable in each and every bite and would make you crave for more. The extra spicy flavour of pulav tickles your taste buds .. However , the topping of ghee balances and enhances the pulav. Price 30/- for half pulav 5/- for Ghee Location 📍 Namma SLN https://goo.gl/maps/HuKeqEzjd9vDGgoS8 3. Mahalakshmi Tiffin Room One of the oldest hotel in the neighbourhood famous among localites for their South Indian dishes especially the dosas. Saagu masala here is definitely a must try. Chutney is spread across the dosa and roasted well with ghee and finally a cup of saagu is poured on the dosa and served along with a slightly spicy chutney. Do give it a try. Price 60/- Location 📍Mahalakshmi Tiffin Room https://goo.gl/maps/2wB6r3krmubmKTJ16 4. Roti Ghar Roti Ghar is well known for its Badam Halwa. This sweet is rich in ghee, any person who like sweets would definitely love this one. One piece of Badam Halwa is priced at 30₹ can be tried when you are in and around Basavangudi. Price 30/- Location 📍Roti Ghar https://goo.gl/maps/CkNqP3FbV6zF2A628 5. SLV Corner So the last and final place is SLV Corner for their beautiful strong Filter coffee. Made by Mr.Govindraju Who believes making customers happy is God work and serves each customer with an extra smile on his face and not to forget he is Sahasa Simha Dr.Vishnuvardhan Fan.

#VidyarthiBhavan #MasalaDosa #Bengaluru bengaluru breakfast, bangalore popular breakfast, south indian breakfast, evening tiffin, vidyarthi bhavan, basavangudi, south bengaluru, popular bangalore dosa, masala dosa, masala dose, uppitu, rava vada, kesari bath, coffee There’s nothing that comes close to savouring the crisp crackle of a dosa a few moments after it has left the pan. An experience that we missed much in lockdown. And so when Bengaluru’s most popular dose spot, Vidyarthi Bhavan re-opened dine-in, we lost no time in getting there to savour their iconic masala dose, scrumptious rave vade and a couple of other evening treats. In doing so, I also took a look at the measures that this eatery has employed to ensure a safe dining experience. Enjoy and stay safe. Rave Vade A deep-fried semolina vade studded with chilli, cashewnuts, ginger and curry leaves and served only in the evening, I am told this is quite popular. It’s bite is as crunchy as a cookie, crisp around the edges and soft towards the centre. Rs. 27 (usd 0.35) 8/10 Kesari Bath A textbook kesari bath that dissolves on the palate in a buttery gush of ghee, the raisins convey a pop of sweetness and the cashew lends a toastiness to the clove-induced flavour of this semolina pudding. Rs. 27 (usd 0.35) 8/10 Uppitu The flavour of onions headlines this soft semolina preparation that’s studded with fried lentils, green chillies and curry leaves. A flavoursome dish on its own, savour it with the spicy chutney if you prefer to perk things up. Rs. 27 (usd 0.35) 8/10 Masala Dose If you need one reason to visit Vidyarthji Bhavan, this would be it. A dose that’s crisp and lacey in parts, soft and fluffy in others, and hides within its single fold a creamy potato palya. The chutney is spicy and vivacious, a bold complement to the gentle flavours of the dose and palya. Rs. 53 (usd 0.7) 10/10 Coffee Rs. 17 (usd 0.2) 8/10 ADDRESS - Vidyarthi Bhavan, 32, Gandhi Bazaar Main Road, Basavanagudi, Bangalore 560 004; tel +91 080 2667 7588 Location Tag - https://goo.gl/maps/nFsBwv9yM6DoRwL69 SUPPORT FOOD LOVERS If you enjoyed this video, please consider supporting Food Lovers TV by joining our membership community on YouTube by hitting the ‘join’ button below or on the home page.

Amongst the brilliant characters portrayed, a pivotal performance was that of famed actor and food legend, Sihi Kahi Chandru, who gave voice to the Vidyarthi Bhavan masala dosae, the heart of a tiffin experience at the 77-year-old eatery. In the course of our conversation backstage, Chandru Sir and I quickly decided we should savour a full tiffin at Vidyarthi Bhavan soon. This isn’t your typical Gourmet On The Road episode, but it makes an attempt to capture our experience at the breakfast that followed. Hope you enjoy this one. Take care; stay safe and strong.

#supportlocal #vidyarthibhavan #masala dosa support local eateries, takeaway, vidyarthi bhavan, basavangudi, south bangalore, traditional vegetarian tiffin in bangalore, masala dosa, dose, idli vada, chutney, old world restaurant, traditional eatery, bangalore, bengaluru In its 78 years of existence, Vidyarthi Bhavan has always served its iconic masala dose within its premises, keeping it strictly outside the purview of delivery services. However the current scenario calls for an entirely new approach in food service, and in keeping with this, this revered South Bengaluru eatery has embraced takeaway as a new way of life, at least for the foreseeable future. I visit Vidyarthi Bhavan to document this change from the past and see for myself how its management is taking all steps necessary to ensure continuity of its delicious culinary traditions in as safe a manner as possible. Hope you enjoy this episode. Stay safe and happy eating! Note: This episode was first released in May 2020 and is being rerun to support Bengaluru eateries with takeaway orders in the current situation. Please do support local eateries. Masala Dosa The masala dose is now folded twice as opposed to the VB classic one fold, an allowance that the eatery has made for the dose to be rolled into an aluminium foil in order to retain its temperature when savoured at home. The crispy crackle of the dose is now replaced by a whisper of a crunch, but the buttery flavours are still spot on. The dose oozes ghee, and the aloogadde palya is mildly seasoned and creamy. It helps to crispen the dose a bit on the pan just before eating. Rs. 50 (usd 0.7) Idli VB’s idlis are the grainy sort, perfect for ladling over chutney and piping hot sambar, before breaking it down to a delicious, spicy mash. If they’re too cold by the time they get to you, steam for a couple of minutes. Rs. 26 (usd 0.3) Uddin Vade The vade definitely suffers the most casualty when consumed in a takeaway format. Gone is its crisp crunch, that would yield to a porous bite. The only way to redeem the vada is to dunk it into a bowl of piping hot sambar and savour it with a dollop of spicy chutney. Rs. 26 (usd 0.3) Khara Bath The kharabath travels extremely well, given its moist texture. This tasty dish is studded with onions, fried lentils, coconut flakes and curry leaves, making for a playful medley of flavours and textures. Rs. 26 (usd 0.3) Kesari Bath End your meal with this luscious semolina preparation, the flavour of the pineapple and cloves is quite pronounced. The dish is mellow in its sweetness, save for the pop of extra sweetness when you bite into a toasted raisin. Rs. 26 (usd 0.3) Note: Due to the current uncertain situation, please call the eatery to ascertain the timings and what is available. Prices may have changed since when this episode was originally published a year ago.

He converses with third generation owner Arun Adiga, understanding what keeps patrons coming back. He also relishes a full breakfast of all the items on the menu, tasting from the iconic dosas to poori saagu and more! GOURMET ON THE ROAD RATING Idli Vada A delightful plate of pillowy soft idlis and traditional uddina vada bathed in a tasty, hot sambar. The chutney, although a little runny, is enhanced with a punch of spice and a delicious tempering.  Rs 14 for one Idli and Rs 26 for vada. 8/10 Poori Saagu This poori saagu is a humble yet delicious dish at VB. A medley of beans, carrots, brinjal, and sweet pumpkin all harmoniously brought together. The pooris are light and fluffy as you would expect. The chutney adds a flavorful punch.  Rs 36. 8/10 Khara bath Spicy and savoury, this semolina concoction with veggies like carrots, onions and the simple tempering has a pleasing texture. A dish that needs no accompaniment. Rs 26. 8/10 Kesari Bath This bath is laden with copious amounts of ghee, and tiny morsels of pineapple to give it that sweet, tart flavor. The intense flavour of clove cuts through the richness, making this an irresistible bite.  Rs 26. 8/10 Saagu masala dosa This dosa is roasted perfectly with a crackly exterior and a soft interior. That slight tartness of the batter is present in every bite. The delicious saagu is a wholesome change from the typical potato stuffing.  Rs 50. 9/10 Masala dosa A traditional masala dosa in every sense, served with chutney. The dosa is roasted to a nice deep brown crisp around the edges, yet soft and fluffy within. The flavourful potato palya is gently tempered. Rs 46. 10/10 Filter coffee Strong, robust coffee topped with a frothy cream. Pull your coffee to cool it down and end your meal in an authentic way.  Rs 16. 9/10 Vidyarthi Bhavan, 32, Gandhi Bazaar Main Road, Basavanagudi, Bangalore 560 004; tel +91 080 2667 7588 Location Tag - https://goo.gl/maps/nFsBwv9yM6DoRwL69 Food Lovers is India’s finest content and experience platform on food, wines & spirits and dining.
