Taaza Thindi — Restaurant in Bengaluru

Sunday experience

Good Masala Dosa was just like the one we got from Arogya Ahaara. I guess Taaza Thindi is the original? I'm not too sure about these details. Either way, it was delicious. The surroundings of this eatery are comparatively much better than most places in Bangalore. Parking isn't exactly plenty, but the roads are laid out well enough. Tea and coffee were good. Quick cleaning service.

Bad The layout of the restaurant isn't sensible for large crowds. The payment counter is right next to the counter, where you collect two other dishes. So is the wash basin. People are just pushing each other around. Seating is close to non-existent, with people trying to block space for each other. The Kesari bath dish tasted like they put every clove they had in their store in it. The security, as usual in Bangalore, aren't really solving anything besides asking people to move around when there's barely any place to stand. The counter serving Masala Dosas wasn't as clean as I expected it to be. But hygiene has taken a slight dip post Covid in most restaurants in Bangalore.

Other places to try out after Taaza Thindi that are as good or better: Arogya Ahaara, HSR Layout (parking is an issue) MTR, HSR Layout IDC Kitchen, Forum Mall Rameshwaram Cafes (Whitefield and Rajajinagar has the most space, parking a minor problem again if Valet is closed) Swathi Delicacy, Koppa (This is outside the city, but it takes significantly less time to reach since it's a highway. It is a costlier option if you're just visiting jusy this because of toll and fuel prices) Haldirams, HSR Layout (only the North Indian food...

Loved the food but the place is really hyped in Zomato(4.9 star). When Dwarka is rated 3.9, CTR is rated 4.8 and Brahmin's coffee bar is 4.9, this shouldn't be rated 4.9. I really loved the food here but it is well below the standards of CTR and BCB. Customers would also find difficulty in getting the food due to a lot of rush during peak hours. A big queue is a prerequisite in this place but it's worth the wait.

You have to pay extra ₹5 for an empty plate which is not a good thing is you go with your family. The place is very neat, hygiene is given the highest priority. They also claim to use 'World Class' dish washers which is true. If you can find any flaw in the place It has to be the place where they serve chutney. You've to go past many people to get to the chutney counter which is placed right after the dosa counter. On the contrary, the service is really quick. It would be difficult to sit and enjoy your food during peak hours. Since the restaurant is right infront of the road, your food may catch dust during windy days if you wish to eat(where there's a slab like arrangement during peak hours.

Masala dosa is priced reasonably well at ₹20, a plate of Idly-Vada will cost you ₹30. You won't get the same quantity of food compared to other hotels and that is down to the pricing. If you want a good fast food place in the locality, just...

Firstly, the place was packed! There was a queue of atleast 15 people at the billing counter. So fair warning, expect a crowd, but don't be intimidated by it as the service is quite swift.

I ordered a masala dosa, vada and a filter coffee. The dosa and vada were served only with chutney, however a thicker one for the dosa and a watery one for the vada. The dosa was crisp on the outside and soft on the inside, so was the vada. The food was just amazing! You can taste the freshness, all the dishes were hot off the stove and full of flavor. What I liked was how balanced the flavors were, none of the dishes were overly spicy nor drenched in ghee (iykyk) or oil.

They have separate counters for idly vada, another for the dosa and a third for coffee & tea. The food counters had a decent queue, however the prompt service ensured the wait was never too long. One of the unique things I noticed here was a separate standalone counter just for the chutneys! The place is run quite well, seems very hygienic and the service is quite prompt. Though a self service joint, the place was abuzz with the staff clearing up used plates and cleaning the counter tops and benches.

If you are a fan of south Indian food, you must try this place! I loved it and plan to...
