Must Visit Restaurants In Bangalore That Created History

Creating history, especially in food is not a cakewalk. Years of hard work, mastering the art of cooking and accumulating the knowledge and fine sense of ingredients is what it takes to make a mark in the food industry. While everyone in this business tries it, not all succeed. Some fail and some manage to create a flavor of their own.
Among a lot of other things, Bangalore is famous for food as well. Be it street food, or food at posh restaurants, everything served to you here is nothing less than perfection. Though there are many restaurants in Bangalore that are famous but, all of them are not so iconic. Some of the ones that have managed to make a mark in the city and create a place for themselves in the hearts of people are listed below.

MTR

Mavalli Tiffin Rooms has to be on the top of the list. Such is the success of this place that its name is taken with the name of the city in one breath. Established in 1924, MTR has evolved over the past decades and has reached the peaks to success today. Credited with the creation of Rava Idli during the second world war and Chandrahar dessert during the 1950s, MTR has actually transformed the food culture in Bangalore. In fact, Rava Idli made its way to the national market. To date, their inventions are savored by people in the parts of the country but to get a real taste of these dishes it is best that you try them here itself. So one can say that from Brahmin Coffee Club to becoming MTR, its journey is inspiring at every step.

KOSHY’S

Bangalore’s St.Marks road is and will be remembered by people for this paradise that is called Koshy’s. Owned by the Koshy family, this restaurant is their gift to the city. This restaurant that was set up in the 1940s was visited by famous personalities like Jawaharlal Nehru, Queen Elizabeth II and Nikita Khrushchev. Currently, it is a hub for people from all walks of life, actors, students, journalists, everyone. What brings people back to this place is the food like filter coffee, pakoras, prawn biryani.

AIRLINES

A name so unique that is sticks in your memory for a while, and food so delicious that it stays in your heart forever. This open space restaurant is simplicity at its best. With some tables and chairs neatly arranged out in the open, the meals are served here under trees amidst the chirping of birds and the cool breeze. This iconic restaurant has always been symbolic to Bangalore but it gave a major shock to the people of the city when it shut down for a while. People craved for its famous one by two coffee which was and is still a must-have here. But then it came back and gave breathed back life into the ardent visitors of this place.

VIDYARTHI BHAVAN

Bringing smiles to people’s faces since 1943 this is one of the most iconic restaurants in the history of the city. From pre-independence era to post-independence days, from starting as a small eatery for students to becoming a full-fledged restaurant for everyone, Vidyarthi Bhavan has changed drastically, but what has not changed is the love with which food is prepared and served here and the taste that is specific to this place. People who have visited this place swear by its Butter Masala Dosa and Kesari Bhath. You should try it too.

LAKEVIEW MILKBAR

1930 was the year when this ice cream shop took the city by storm. The best part about this place is that keeping up with the trends, it has changed with changing times, but has also retained some of its features. Apart from ice creams of numerous flavors, cakes are a specialty too. The black forest cake here is pure bliss. Milkshakes and pizzas have too now made their way on the menu. The best part is that it is never too late to visit this place since it is open until late night.

When everything leaves and everything changes in this rapidly transforming city what will remain is the legacy of these restaurants that created history through their taste.
