Upahara Darshini (Barjari Oota) & UD Residency — Restaurant in Bengaluru

Kindly zoom in this photo and see you'll see the kind of food they are serving here Extremely Disappointing and Unhygienic Experience - Hotel UD Residency Bharjari Bhojana, Jayanagar (Visit on 17/04/2025)

I visited Hotel UD Residency Bharjari Bhojana on 17th April 2025 (Thursday) with a group of colleagues and friends. This was my third visit, and unfortunately, it turned out to be a deeply disappointing experience that raises serious concerns about the restaurant’s hygiene standards.

During our meal, we found worms in the payasam and curd, and even discovered a cockroach in the pulav. When we brought these issues to the attention of the staff, the response was extremely unprofessional. Rather than taking accountability, they dismissed our concerns, suggesting that it was impossible given the volume of customers they serve, and even implied that our request to switch off the air conditioning might have contributed to the problem.

There was no apology, no genuine concern for customer safety, and no attempt to investigate or rectify the issue. Instead, the staff simply refunded our payment and asked us to leave, showing a shocking lack of responsibility or basic hospitality.

Such an incident is completely unacceptable, especially for a restaurant of this reputation. Food safety and customer wellbeing should always be the top priority. Based on this experience, I cannot recommend this establishment, and I urge the management to take immediate steps to address their hygiene...

I don't recommend this restaurant. Not a single item in the meal is tasty.

Holige - below average Palyas - vegitables are not sufficient, no taste, no spice, no salt Pulav - fully bland, no taste, no salt, no vegitables Vangibath - cannot understand the taste. Only colour is there Hesarubele - only cucumber in it no moong dal, hardly could find some Pineapple gojju - not sure why every meal contains this dish it's not part of South Indian meal. Somewhat average taste Sambar - not tasty, found vegitables, properly cooked, but no taste Sandige - it is small boti, no taste White Rice - cooked well, no issues Rasam - nice taste one of the good item Soup - tomato soup not good, manchow soup was tasty Masala dosa- not sure why this is made part of meals now a days in restaurants, no taste, served many times to see if we can fill the stomach with only dosaa. Chutney - no taste Curd rice - okay taste , but I would expect proper set curd to be served which we can have with white rice Pickle - good taste And the service is so fast no time to eat , they want us to eat curd rice before we could finish sambar and rasam rice.

Hope this feedback will be taken and improvement will be done

What is needed is simple home like food to be served not sure why it is made...
