Eating in Bengaluru: dosa, darshinis, and the new-wave scene
The legendary masala dosa, filter coffee culture, military hotels, and where the cool kids brunch.
Bengaluru eats well across every budget.
The classics
A crisp masala dosa with filter coffee at an old-school darshini or a legacy tiffin room is non-negotiable. Cheap, fast, perfect.
Local deep cuts
Look up "military hotels" for old-school non-veg Karnataka food, and the Donne biryani served in a banana-leaf cup.
New wave
Indiranagar, Koramangala and the CBD have a deep bench of specialty coffee, brunch spots and modern restaurants. Easy to make a whole day of it.
