Food scene in Bangalore, India

It has exactly been 12 months since I was in Bangalore and I can’t begin to tell how much the foodscape has changed since then. So many more new restaurants, bars and gastro-pubs have opened up. Such is the pace with which the food scene is evolving here. Even so, it doesn’t seem like Bangalore has had enough, each and every one of these places are jam-packed almost everyday. Even with the new glamorous food scene out here, somehow many of the classic old Bangalore restaurants have managed to not only survive, but grow to be more popular than ever. Not to forget, the street food in Bangalore is mind-blowing too, the gaadi-walas [street cart vendors] selling the tangy, spicy masala puris and the pani puris, the bhel puri corners, the Bengaluru style wok tossed Chinese food trucks that make the best noodles and gobi manchurian and khao-galli [food street], an entire one mile stretch filled with street food vendors serving everything and anything you want to eat.

This city being my home town, I have seen it grow from a small, green, retirement city to this gigantic IT hub with a progressive bend to it. I can’t be more excited than this to see how my very own home has gone from Bangalore to the Bengaluru it is today.

I am in town for 10 days, and all I want to do is to try out all the new chic food spots. Of course, that’s not going to happen even if I could eat five meals a day. Nor is one post enough for me to list all the places I love to eat at in this awesome city. Here are some ah-mazing eat-outs I have been able to dine at.
