Kamat Bugle Rock — Restaurant in Bengaluru

You'll find photos of food and the ambience of the place from other reviews. I'm here to share my honest review just about the food. The jolada rotti oota.

I visited the place around 1:15 PM on Saturday. Not crowded. We got a table immediately. They serve food/oota/lunch meal on a banana leaf. The service is quick. Once the leaf is laid out, there's constant service of food, side dishes, salad, buttermilk/majjige, etc.

They specialise in maavina hannu seekarne during summers. Small and pulpy mangoes cooked with spices. It's the best ever. You'll love it. It's so worth visiting the place just for it. In the meals, they also serve you holige/obbattu and it was hot. That's really good and I'm happy to get it hot.

You have unlimited supply of jolada rotti (jowar flattened bread) that's straight off the stove/fire. They serve it with cubes of butter. All the curries or gravies they give are good combination with the jolada rotti. The kaalu palya/beans cooked in gravy and ennegai/brinjal gravy are my favourite.

They also serve rice with sambar, rasam and curd is given in a bowl. There's beeda/sweet paan, ice cream and fruit salad. On the table, you'll find 2 different powders.. one is dark brown and one is orange red. You must try them with curd and rotti. Too good.

The ambience of the place is good, decent. There's live music performance in the place and it amps up your authentic south Indian lunch vibe, sitting under a hut kind of roof on a summer afternoon.

Amazing experience, top quality food and superb taste. Must visit for sure. I hope they maintain the quality throughout. Much appreciation to Kamat Bugle rock team for the jolada rotti oota and the experience...

Disappointing Traditional North Karnataka Dining Experience

We visited Kamat Bugle Rock in Bengaluru for a traditional North Karnataka thali experience with family, but sadly, it did not live up to expectations. Known for serving authentic North Karnataka meals, we were looking forward to a hearty and satisfying lunch. However, the overall experience was underwhelming.

First of all, the place was extremely crowded, which made it hard to find a seat and created a chaotic atmosphere—not ideal when dining with family. The restaurant was clearly not prepared to handle the rush, and the crowd was poorly managed.

The thali offered a decent spread of typical North Karnataka dishes like jowar roti, chutneys, palya, and sweets, but the taste was just average. Some items felt stale, and the presentation was rushed. With Kamat’s reputation, we expected much more attention to quality.

Cleanliness was a major concern. The tables were not cleaned properly, and the overall hygiene of the dining area was disappointing. It didn’t feel like a clean or welcoming space for families.

To make matters worse, the service was inattentive. Despite asking multiple times for certain items, the staff didn’t respond or follow through. This made the experience frustrating and stressful.

Overall, I would not recommend Kamat Bugle Rock for a family outing or for anyone seeking a quality traditional North Karnataka meal. I’d rate the experience 1...

STUP*D PLACE, WE WENT ON 21 OCT 2023 FOR LUNCH, U WON'T LIKE IT IF YOU DON'T KNOW HOW TO BEG FOR FOOD. WE DIDN'T KNOW HOW TO BEG SO SUFFERED A LOT. THEY SERVED SABJI THEN LEFT US LIKE THAT, WE ASKED R U GOING GO SERVE RICE OR ROTI, ETC THEN THEY GAVE POLI AND LEFT US, WE KEPT WAITING THEN ASKED R U GOING TO SERVE ANYTHING ELSE OR WHAT, THEY GAVE ONE ROTI AND THEN LEFT US AGAIN, WE TOTALLY GOT FED UP, EVERY TIME ASKING THEM TO SERVE RICE AS THEY KEPT TAKING 5 MINS FOR RICE THOUGH THERE IS NO OTHER CUSTOMER IN THE PLACE WE WENT EARLY MEAL TIME AT 12PM. IT WAS SO ANNOYING EXPERIENCE AS THE SERVICE WAS VERY POOR AS THE PEOPLE WHO SERVE FOOD NEVER BOTHER TO CHECK IF CUSTOMER NEED FOOD OR IF THEY FINISHED. NO ONE BOTHER TO COME CHECK IF WE NEED ANYTHING TO EAT, WE WERE EXPECTING SOMEONE TO KEEP SERVING AS WE KEEP EATING. BAD EXPERIENCE AS WE FELT LIKE WE ARE EATING FREE FOOD IN CHARITY AS NO ONE BOTHERED OR INTERESTED TO SERVE, FOOD WAS ALSO OK, NOT TOO GOOD. IF U LIKE TO BEG FOR FOOD THEN PLEASE TRY ONCE. WE GOT SO FRUSTRATED FINALLY WE CANCELLED OTHER PLANS FOR THE DAY AND WENT HOME TO SLEEP AND FORGET THIS EXPERIENCE. ALSO THE GUY WHO SERVED FOOD POURED FULL GLASS OF WATER ON MY SON'S PLATE BY MISTAKE WITH ALL THE DISHES SERVED ON IT WHICH MADE MORE MESS AS WE AGAIN HAVE TO WAIT FOR THESE GUYS TO CLEAN WHICH TOOK ABOUT 5-10 MINS DURING THE MEAL, FOOD GOT WASTED TOO BECAUSE OF THIS BUT THEY HAVE BIG BOARD SAYING...
