Top 5 Iconic Snack Places in Bangalore

Bangalore is filled with loads of famous pubs and bars. But hidden between all those flashy lights and fancy food are some aesthetic gems. Here are my top best places to munch and crunch on food anytime in Bangalore:

Akki Roti at Halli Mane – Malleshwaram

Description: Firstly, let’s start off with my personal favorite Halli Mane. Halli meaning Village and Mane meaning house in Kannada gives you the feeling of a village home when entered upon which is its literal English translation. Extremely famous among the localities of Bangalore for serving the typical Karnataka food which makes it almost impossible to find a time slot where the place wouldn’t be crowded.

Top Dishes: Akki Roti, Ragi Roti, Ragi Mudde,  Filter Coffee and Unlimited Thali on Banyan Leaf.

By 2 Filter Coffee at Airlines Hotel – Lavelle Road

Description: How does eating in the open air sound? Or eating in the convenience of sitting in your car? Then the Airlines Hotel is the perfect place for you. Located right beside MG Road and Bridge Road, Airlines Hotel offers the perfect place to ‘chill’ and enjoy the amazing Bangalore weather to the fullest. But beware, as they only serve certain dishes during certain times throughout the day. So turn up at the right time. Always order your Dosa ‘roasted’. They specialize in making the crispiest dosas.

Top Dishes: Filter Coffee, Tea, Benne (Butter) Masala Dosa, Paper Dosa, Akki Roti, Masala Puri and Channa Bhatura.

Masala Dosa at Vidyarthi Bhavan – Basvanagudi

Description: Vidyarthi Bhavan isn’t just a place to eat but rather its a feeling. A classical legendary place where my grandparents used to go to eat and then my parents and now it’s my turn to enjoy the delicious dosa’s. One dosa is more than sufficient to fill your stomach as it is made from the purest ghee possible. Do not forget to have the Maddur Vada along with the Dosa and trust me, the wait outside Vidyarthi Bhavan is worth every penny spent inside which by the way isn’t much.

Top Dishes: Masala Dosa, Benne (Butter) Masala Dosa, Filter Kaapi (Coffee), Maddur Vada and Keseri Bath.

Thatte Idli at Brahmins Thatte Idli – Sanjaynagar
