Head to Koshy's, a Bangalore institution since 1940, for lunch. The iconic restaurant and bar serve Indian and Continental cuisine, and is known for its Biryani, Chicken Stroganoff, and Coffee. The ambiance is old-world and charming, with vintage posters adorning the walls and soft jazz playing in the background.
End the day with a food walk at VV Puram Food Street, a paradise for street food lovers. The area is famous for its Chaat, Dabeli, Masala Puri, and more. Try the Gulkand Shake at the famous Srinivasa Brahmin's Coffee Bar, one of the oldest coffee shops in Bangalore.
Begin the day at CTR, a hole-in-the-wall eatery famous for its Benne Masala Dosa, a crispy dosa topped with spicy potato sabzi and a dollop of butter. The place is small and always crowded, but the food makes it worth the wait.
For lunch, head to Nagarjuna, a popular Andhra-style restaurant. The place is known for its spicy Biryanis, Natu Kodi Fry (chicken fry), and Gongura Mutton. Pair the food with the cooling effects of Buttermilk or a Muskmelon Juice.
End the day back at MTR, but this time for dinner. The place serves a range of vegetarian dishes, including the popular Rava Masala Dosa, Bisibele Bath, and Kesari Bath. Finish your meal with a cup of their rich Badam Milk.

End your Bangalore food journey at where it all began, the legendary MTR. This time, try their Thali, a balanced meal served on a banana leaf, consisting of rice, sambar, rasam, papad, and various vegetable preparations.
If you have more time in Bangalore, you can visit other iconic restaurants such as Veena Stores, Mavalli Tiffin Rooms (MTR), and Shivaji Military Hotel. For those with less time, skip either Koshy's or Nagarjuna. Avoid taking your vehicle to VV Puram Food Street as parking is limited.
