Karnataka Bhel House — Restaurant in Bengaluru

I had visited Karnataka Bhel house after hearing so much hype about it, but honestly, my experience was extremely disappointing. To be very frank, the taste here was absolutely disappointing and nowhere close to what I expected. I usually enjoy trying out new styles of street food and different methods of preparation, but what they serve here is neither tasty nor satisfying.

The first thing I tried was their pani puri, and it was one of the worst versions I have ever come across. There was no proper masala, no exciting flavors, and to my shock, they don’t even put sev on their pani puri. What they serve is basically just peas, onions, and puri with some pani – nothing more. The pani itself was bland and watery, without the spice or tang that makes pani puri fun to eat. It felt incomplete and badly put together.

I honestly don’t understand the hype around this place. People around me were talking about how unique the style of preparation is, but what’s the point if the taste doesn’t match up? Food is supposed to be about balance of flavors, freshness, and a satisfying experience. Here, it was exactly the opposite. No proper masalas, no punch, and certainly no joy in eating.

Even the other items we sampled lacked taste. They had a dull, flat flavor profile, as though the food was just put together without any thought. Considering the number of good chaats outlets available in Bangalore, Karnataka Bhel house is something I would never recommend.

Overall, it was a bad experience, and I regret spending time and money here. Definitely not worth visiting, and I would give a negative...

I've heard from many people that Chats are best at Karnataka Bhel House. Place is very spacious, looks Hygienic and served well.( Self service) They serve Bhel, Masala, Sev, Dahi and Paani Puri.

Finally I tried it, Bhel Puri is very appetizing and must try chat in here. Masala Puri is above average and can't say this is the best one, but it's the best one in among many. Sev Puri and Paani Puri looks very delicious, but didn't reach out to the best expectations. Sev Puri is way too Sweety, Paani is superb but Puri isn't that crispy. Stuffing isn't that great, since they didn't add Aloo to it. ( stuffing is Green peas masala) Paani Puri could've been much better if they change Puri and add Aloo to the stuffings.

There's kulfi available here, it tastes good too. Give a try after all hot and spicy chat.

Prices are bit aggressive to some point, but it's worth for Bhel and Masala not for others.

So overall, great place for Bhel and Masala Puri lovers. Just give a try once, it's way better than other road side food selling at same...

I dont recommend taking parcel as its a bad idea. I have tasted the chats from the main branch in chamrajapete. That seems good. Here tasted 3days ago, prices are too high. If you are used to eating green masala in masale puri.. you may/may not like the red masala. I frankly didn't like masala Puri. The quantity is very less for the price. masala Puri now costs 45, bhel puri costs 50, sev puri is 50. Sev puri is ultra sweet. Bhel puri quantity is justified, but very stingy to put tomatoes & even onion. Bhel gets quiet heavy if taken for a single person. Unfortunately I don't have the pictures. I brought it with our own utensils, so ya it didn't impact much. If you order through Zomato or swiggy, hope for...
