Chikkanna Tiffin Room — Restaurant in Bengaluru

Chikkanna Tiffin Room so called CTR. One of the place from my bucket list and got a chance to visit today evening. Had read about their taste being consistent since several decades of their service and yes, truly fulfilled.

We ordered: Idly, Vada(no pic), Plain dosa, mini pudi masala dosa, kaali dosa. Idly texture made me to fall in love with this place. Wah!! It’s so mushy. Chutney is something quite different in taste and it’s was a perfect combination. Vada was normal.

Mini pudi masala dosa was the highlight. Ultimate taste because, dosa’s crunchy texture is well aligned with pudi and chutney. Slightly ghee was applied. I can’t get rid off the taste. Every bite of pudi masala dosa was extremely delightful and thoroughly enjoyed. Dosa batter is distinct and when you bite, you feel that crunchiness till you swallow. The taste of ghee was sticked to my fingers 🤤 Plain dosa was delicious as they had spread chutney inside dosa to make the texture soft. Kaali dosa is actually plain dosa and it’s served plain. I requested for ghee and you can see extra ghee is served with an extra charge, but I was fortunate and I wasn’t charged for that. Ghee on kaali dosa felt like I’m floating in ghee pool 😆 finger licking taste.

They serve pulav during evening time, by the time I went it was over, so I couldn’t taste. By morning time they serve, puliogare or lemon rice as well along with the actual food items mentioned on their menu. Bath dosa is something that people prefer here and I couldn’t taste this as well due to time constraint.

They serve Badam milk, coffee & tea during morning and evening time as well.

I could able to speak to owner himself and he was so generous. It is a fast food hotel and self served.

Altogether gem of a place in heart of the Bengaluru city to fulfill your taste buds. Must...
