Sri Krishna Bhavan — Restaurant in Bengaluru

Visited this place recently . The restaurant is very strategically located right in the banashankari bus stand ! . The self service section is quite big but the service section is very very small .....can accommodate around 15 people . The ambience is obviously very noisy as its located in a bus stand . But the place is very hygienic and clean.

Coming to the food I ordered a north meals - 1.soup - the soup was a little too sour , it didn't have any cream , I had to finish it with lot of difficulty . 2.roti - the roti was pretty big in size and soft too , it was freshly made so tasted good . 3.curries - there were 3 curries .....Channa , dal and sort of a spicy curry ........all tasted good . I liked the spicy curry and channa . 4.jeera rice - I really have no clue what rice it was as it was bland and as you can see in the picture it looked like plain rice . 5.curd rice - it wasn't freshly made so it killed any sense of satisfaction of finishing with curds. 6.jamun - it was surprisingly good, the jamun was soft and it was soaked well in jeera syrup

Overall its ok ok .....the cost is less and the north Indian meals was only 100 bucks and its definitely worth it . Points have been cut for bad service and improvements with regards to food . , self service is recommended , the service section managers seem to be very ignorant . I had to get spoon on my own , they do not respond to your calls and hang around like they are the customers .

Do visit the place if your under a tight budget...

The where: Sri Krishna Bhavan restaurant is situated in Banashankari. This restaurant is part of the B.M.T.C. Bus Station in Banashankari. This one is primely located, right in front of the Bus Station. This is next to the Banashankari junction, as well. There is a Namma Metro Station, as well, nearby.

The setup: This is your regular restaurant inside a bus station. It is set up in two levels. The Ground level has a self-service area, wherein the customer needs to collect the bill and get the food himself. The place is just okay. They have enough space at both the setups.

The ambience: The interior is okay. As it is located inside a bus station, it is frequented by commuters and is crowded most of the times. Hence, it becomes a nightmare for the cleaners to keep the area clean all the time. Having said that, it was clean most of the time.

The food: You get a variety of vegetarian dishes here. It is a pure Veg hotel. They mainly serve the Karnataka cuisine, like Dosa, Poori, meals etc.

The taste: umm, can be better. Nothing was exceptionally good. All were just fine. They serve tea, coffee and juices. They do not serve liquor here.

The service: As it is in a Bus Station, do not have big hopes on this part. The food was prepared very fast. The cleaners also do their job very fast. Overall, the service was fast but do not expect a quality...

Generally I avoid restaurants situated near or under the roof of Bus Stands since I have many bitter experiences before regarding the hygiene, quality and attitude of staffs. But. Sri Krishna Bhavan's experience was quite different. Despite of being in a busy bus terminal their quality of food and service is really good.

AMBIANCE: Its very basic, ground floor has self service Stand-eat option and kitchen shares about 40% of the ground floor. It has a small service hall in the upper deck which houses 5-6 tables. Chats & Beverage counter is situated outside the restaurant.

SERVICE: Its very quick and it should be. Since people visit here will be in hurry to catch the bus, service is very sharp to address it. It took around 5 mins to get my order after paying at the counter.

FOOD: Seeing Rava Dosa in their "Day's Special" menu, I ordered one. Though it was not as crispy as i expected, taste was good. Sagu supplied with it was good but chutney seemed bland. Overall, this restaurant is good for south indian dishes.

EVERYTHING ELSE: Hygiene has been maintained well, hand wash area is bit difficult to access during crowded times. I felt price is slightly high.

FINAL VERDICT: This restaurant won't disappoint if you drop-in emergency hunger situation just like...
