The Bangalore Kitchen

Indian Restaurant 4.1 (62)

" Despite the long queues, The Bangalore Kitchen serves some fantastic food. The dosa was delicious and crispy when served. However, they could really benefit from offering sambar with their dosas to heighten the experience. The service was fair, considering how busy they were, and I enjoyed my meal overall. Would visit again! " (*Curated Review*)

" I have mixed feelings about my visit to The Bangalore Kitchen. The idlis were fresh, and the sambhar was okay, but the dosas left something to be desired. They were average at best and quite small. For the price point, I expected more. I also found the attitudes of some staff to be less than welcoming, which overshadowed the food experience a bit. Overall, I probably wouldn’t recommend it to others looking for authentic Indian cuisine. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was skeptical about the hype surrounding The Bangalore Kitchen, but after trying their idlis and chutney, I can honestly say it deserves every bit of praise. The blend of flavors was incredible! The staff was also exceptionally friendly, making the whole experience enjoyable. The only downside was the long line, but it's understandable given the quality of the food! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited The Bangalore Kitchen recently during a busy weekend, and although I had to wait in line, it was worth every minute. The masala dosa was phenomenal - crispy and loaded with that authentic potato filling. The atmosphere was lively, and I even started chatting with some of the other customers while waiting. Such a great community feel. I’ll definitely be back next weekend! " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely loved our meal at The Bangalore Kitchen! The chow chow bath and dosa combo were to die for. The flavors were robust, and it really felt like enjoying a meal back home! The service was friendly and quick, despite the crowd. It was well worth the price despite being on the higher end for a food stall. We will certainly be returning this weekend! " (*Curated Review*)

" While The Bangalore Kitchen has been getting rave reviews, my experience was somewhat mediocre. The dosa was fine, but I felt it lacked the excitement that I was expecting. Furthermore, it was disappointing not to have sambhar available. It was a decent meal overall, but there's certainly room for improvement. I would possibly try it again in hopes of a better experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" In my opinion, The Bangalore Kitchen is a gem! The butter masala dosa was delightful, crispy on the outside and soft inside. The only downside was that I wanted more variety. It was busy when I went, but the energy was infectious and added to my enjoyment. A pleasant surprise overall; I would definitely visit again! " (*Curated Review*)
