Kunal Tiffin Centre — Restaurant in Bengaluru

Earlier I rated 4+ stars for this tiff-in center, I have been visiting this center from many years but from last few months there is a bitter experience and reasons are as follows :

1. Very Poor Hygienic - For customers who eats breakfast in tiff-in center, please be aware that they wash plates with out using any dish washing detergents, plates are just dipped in water and small piece of banana leaf is replaced. After complaining this issue with owner of restaurant he promised he will take care and ensure plates are wasted properly, but visited back again in few days and cleaning staff was not using any detergents or liquids for washing plates. I discussed this issue with owner again, this time he gave very strange and rude reasons i) They will continue washing plates without any detergents, its up-to customer if want they can continue eating else stop coming ii) No time to wash plates with detergent iii) Questioned me are you coming for inspection daily ? It was totally displesant experience and that too how can they talk with a regular customer like this ? I explained him in many-ways suggesting at least mix the detergent liquid in tub of water and dip the plates , or use disposal plates and charge the customer , or use the big banana leaf which covers entire leaf. But owner didn't bother of any hygienic standards and responded very rudely for every suggestion.

2. Quality - going down badly every year or month to month . No doubt they are well established by doing breakfast business, but to sustain for long owner should really stick to his good polices which he did some years back or initial set up .

Advise : Request every one to keep in mind of having breakfast in restaurant with those unhygienic plates, alternatively go for take away or parcels to safeguard yourself.

PS: Pass this information to all your known friends...

It's a damn cheap hole in the wall kind of hotel. Located in the busy street of Ganganagar Market. You can depend on Google Maps to reach this place.

A portion of house is converted as a hotel. There is a small stand eat place next to this hotel as the kitchen occupies whole premises. A small hand wash basin & drinking water setup has been kept at a corner near entrance.

They serve limited menu within limited time. Menu consists Dosa, idli, vada & rice bath and the pricing will make your eyebrows rise. I ordered Masal Dosa at the beginning which was served with 'groundnut' chutney. At first this chutney tasted odd but after 3-4 bites I started to like this combination. Dosa was quite thick just like homemade one. Later I ordered Thatte Idli which was soft & fluffy. They serve two types of Vada but I liked uddin vada more as it was crispy and tasty. Along with groundnut chutney they serve tomato chutney too which is sour in taste but tastes brilliant with idli. Tomato chutney has successfully replaced Sambar here.

I had breakfast till my stomach denied strongly and guess what, total bill was just 49 bucks.

I agree that taste was good but I highly doubt about the quality (as I got itching sensation in my throat after having Vada over there). You need to compromise a lot if you visit this hotel. Getting parcel would be a good idea though.

FINAL VERDICT: Best adda for Bachelor's Breakfast...

A great place for an early morning breakfast for all those in the RT Nagar vicinity.

Place opens as early as 6 am with Tatte Idly and 2 kinds of chatnis available at that time.

Dal Vada is available from 6.30 am and all the other items like dosa, etc are available from 7.30 am.

They serve in a plantain leaf on a steel plate. No spoons are given. You need to stand and eat keeping your plate on a parapet. There is a wash basin as well.

It’s a pretty small and clean place with a minimalistic menu at very economic rates. They accept UPI scanner payments.

The staff speak Kannada, Tamil, and Hindi. They can manage with basic English too.

It’s walking distance from the public parking lot at the entrance of Ganga Nagar Market (about 100 mtrs from the parking lot and about 200 mtrs from RT Nagar Police Station)

The pics attached were taken at 5.45 am today.

Ps: if you are visiting after 8.30 am, You need to park your 4-wheeler at the parking lot and walk down. Only few bike parkings are available near...
