Mr. Kapoor and I were on a quest to find a good restaurant for our Sunday lunch and we bummed on to this bengaluru cafe in jayanagar This 2-storey outlet has air conditioning and outdoor seating arrangements. We decided to occupy Table No.9, which is located on the balcony.

A breezy Bengaluru weather, beautiful city view and an ammaazziinngg company by Mr. Kapoor, Everything was just perfect and I was having a really great time while we waited for the staff to take our order. It's a saying that good times don't last forever. My friend and lunch date Mr.Kapoor was constantly distracted by a beautiful lady at table no.10. It seems that he was more interested in the discussions at table No.10 than in what I was talking about.

After an eternity a sweet lady did come to our table to take our order, we did order menthey dosa, rava masala dosa, paddu and mavinkai churumuri.

Luckily the mavinkai churumuri did arrive early and while we enjoyed the delicious dish, my friend had all his attention on table 10. The dish did taste good with the crispiness of puffed rice and the tanginess of raw mango but it could have been better w.r.t other spices profiles. one by on our dishes started arriving, first we thought its rava masala dosa but apparently it was a menthey masala dosa, the disa was really soft with beautiful pastel green hue, which was baked perfectly, the chutney and sambar really complimented the dish. next it was rava masala dosa which was crispy and roasted perfectly with ghee and the coconut chutney really did elevate the dish.

My dear friend Mr,Kapoor was stuck between the delicious food on our table and delicious conversation on the next next table. Apparently, my good-looking friend was really getting attracted to the beautiful lady and was in a dilemma whether to pay attention to the food or to my talk, or to the lady.

While we enjoyed the paddus, one of the favourites of Mr.Kapoor, I had the urge to stand up and inquire with the woman on table 10 if my friend could join them, as he felt their company was more intriguing than mine.

Finally we finished our food and paid the bills and decided to leave the place, as a good human being, I offered my friend to stay back and enjoy the conversation, but dont know he rejected my offer and we left the restaurant. It could have been a great experience if the table no...

Firstly I tried Bonda soup bonda was nice and loved the sambar, Akki roti here they make in different way we got which has less oil perfect crispy and served freshly.

We also loved their Kara pongal and sweet pongal with added little ghee honestly recommending sweet pongal and for Kara pongal they give tamarind gojju which is nice.

They have also have gojju avlaki and they have Kara bath and Akki thari uppitu as well and not to forget adai dose which was different experience for me which has health benefits too roasted to perfect level and they have different doses as well.

They also have ghee padu we loved it as it was crispy and delicious 🤤 with perfect amount of ghee must try here too. For the evening snacks we tried mango churmuri the dry mango grated ones flavour comes nicely to taste buds and the perfect amount of sweetness and spicy was added we loved it
