" The Bangalore Kitchen offers an authentic taste of home. The butter masala dosa was delightful and brought back fond memories of my trips to Bangalore. However, I did find the prices a bit steep for what you get. But, given the unique experience and atmosphere of the farmers market, it’s worth it for the occasional treat! " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience at The Bangalore Kitchen was a rollercoaster ride! We tried their dosa, and honestly, it was good but not as great as I had hoped given the hype around it. The flavors were decent but lacked a certain level of authenticity that I was looking for. However, the atmosphere was pleasant, and the staff were friendly. I might return but will try something different the next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" I’m a fan of South Indian food, and the Bangalore Kitchen did not disappoint. The masala dosa was crisp and came with a delicious chutney that I thoroughly enjoyed. The ambiance at the Ballard market contributes to the overall experience. I only wish they offered more variety on their menu, but the authenticity in taste was apparent. Would gladly return to sample other dishes! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a disappointing experience at The Bangalore Kitchen. After hearing so many good things, my expectations were high. I got the dosa without sambhar, which I found quite sad since I grew up enjoying them almost always with it. The flavors were mild, and I found the pricing puzzling given the portion size. I would definitely suggest they either adjust their prices or give a bit more food. I likely won't be returning soon unless changes are made. " (*Curated Review*)

" As a dosa lover, I had high expectations. Unfortunately, The Bangalore Kitchen fell short. The dosa I tried was really small and didn't come with sambhar. The portioning felt unfair for the price. I did enjoy the quaint atmosphere and friendly service, but I can't get over the lack of authentic sides. I hope they can improve on this. " (*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*)
