Enjoy a classic Bengaluru South Indian tiffin (idli, benne dosa, filter coffee) at the famous CTR — quick, local and within a short drive of Majestic; a solid fuel-up before office visits. CTR typically opens early (around 7:00am) but confirm the branch hours on the day.

Eat at the iconic Koshy’s for a relaxed sit-down lunch offering continental and Indian classics in a historic Bengaluru atmosphere — good for informal business lunch or a quieter break.

If you want to relax after the offices, choose a nearby café (for example, a central café on MG Road or Church Street) for filter coffee and a snack before heading to your hotel or train station. Cafés typically remain open into the evening; check specific closing times.
For dinner, consider Karavalli (Gateway Hotel) for coastal Karnataka cuisine — reserve in advance for a sit-down regional meal, or Toit in Indiranagar for a lively brewpub experience if you don’t mind a short drive. Both are popular in the evening; check opening hours and book if plans are fixed.
