New Krishna Bhavan

Good food and good taste. 70years old restaurant. Iconic Malleswaram eatery New Krishna Bhavan to close next week (6Dec of 2023) The very Famous “New Krishna Bhavan ನ್ಯೂ ಕೃಷ್ಣ ಭವನ” Since 1954 Green masala dose Rave dose Onion dose Bonda soup Masala dose Yumm yummyyyy After nearly 70 years of serving affordable vegetarian fare from Karnataka’s South Kanara, New Krishna Bhavan will shut up. After nearly 70 years of serving affordable vegetarian fare from Karnataka’s South Kanara – from button idlis and dosas of every stripe to a jowar dosa named after Kannada writer V K Gokak – New Krishna Bhavan will down its shutters on December 5. The news has saddened long-time customers, many of whom took to social media to pay tribute. Very less parking space.

The last few days has been all about the shutting down of the iconic NKB, Malleshwaram. While we are all sad and upset with the shutting down of a legend, we should also ensure that no more icons go the NKB way... It's our duty to support them, help them sustain and flourish... Many never changed, till today sell the same good old dose... Have not added the pudi ammunition to their menu. One such good old eatery has been Namma Janata Hotel on Malleshwaram 8th cross. Quite the unsung hero, standing strong amidst a slew of newbies all around. The place goes about doling out it's usual dare since the past five decades or so, unfluttered by competition and the one saying " it isn't what it was" most of the times even without visiting the place. Janata hotel on 8th cross as it's famously known ( no need to mention Malleshwaram here as there's only one 8th cross in the whole wide world of a Bengalurian, and it's in Malleshwaram). Started with a gheelicicious kesari bath, the ghee was the binding agent here in this case and wasn't overflowing all over. Dotted by kismis was a perfect start. Then came in the idli vade dippu, we Bengalurians order dippu, as a time pass till the real hero the Dose arrives. The sambar was typical Bengaluru...had notes of sweetness to it, not too strong but beautifully subtle. Melt in the mouth idli and a crisp vade made it a perfect pair. Then came in the dose, the dish for which Janata is known for. Crisp, long, filling and a treat in itself. The palya too stood out. Sadly this dose never got the eyeballs it deserved. It's has a quintessential Bengaluru vibe. No pudi, no tuppa... One could relish the after taste of the mild sourness of the batter after a bite. Thats what makes a great dose. Ended it All with an ultra strofilter kaapi and then a mandatory stroll on the 8th main. A beautiful old world vive envelopes you, thru the meal. Not just the food, but the feel, the aroma and the vibes. Time for Bengaluru to relish, celebrate and retain many such institutions such as NKB, let's start with Janata... See you on 8th main.

The Iconic Veg Restaurant in Malleswaram which served it's Patrons for 69 years. Their signature dishes like Neer Dosa, Button Idli, Bonda Soup,Rava Dosa, Podi Idli, among the Best in Town. Can't forget to mention their Strong Filter Coffee. Exceptional service by the staff adds to the atmosphere. Sad to know they are closing down the existing place... Only Hoping to see it spring back in a new place and a New Avatar but with the same Dishes.

This hotel is getting permanently closing on Dec 6th 2023. Old hotel in malleshwaram and they have AC, non AC service hall, function hall and lodges. They have their special menu for each day and weekends goes to their Obbatu (Holigae) oota. Few other menu items which are must have here kadabu idli, shavigae. Taste is good and cost is judiciously kept for the quantity and taste. Service is faster and they serve happily. Parking in the busy road is challenging for 4 wheelers. Make sure for lunch or dinner early visit is must to get all the menu items.

Not a local Bangalorean, but my boyfriend had spent his time here as a kid and wanted to share this memory with me as this place is bound to shut down, soon. As I stood in the queue among others, on Sunday morning...was able to hear bits of stories of people sharing their profound memories here with the current generation.😁 Truly, amazed by the waiters ability to remember multiple people's food orders. Had an amazing time relishing, the Green Idli Masala, Rava Podi Dosa and cup of tea/coffee (served in white porcelain cups and saucers). Bidding adieu to this legendary place. Thank you, for your service 🙏

This restaurant, established in 1954, offers a clean and simple ambiance. However, the food is truly outstanding. Each bite is a delightful experience, with flavors that are simply amazing. While it can get quite crowded at times, the wait is undoubtedly worth it. If you're seeking an authentic South Karnataka dish this is the place to be. We tried Masala dosa (10/10) green masala idly (10/10) Madurai podi idly (9/10) Gulab jamun (9/10) champakali (9/10) filter coffee (10/10)☕️ They welcome you with warm water I truly enjoyed every dish we tried, but if you're looking for the absolute best, I highly recommend the green masala idly and masala dosa. They are my all-time favorites, and you won't be disappointed. "Thank you for taking the time to read my thoughts. I hope you found them helpful. It's important to keep in mind that these are my personal food preferences, and the food's flavor can vary from day to day, possibly even improving or changing over time."
