Ganesh Chaturthi, done the old way.

Atithyaa in Gandhi Bazaar put together a traditional feast this Chaturthi. The kind of meal that goes course by course without rushing — tomato-tulsi rasam, khara modak, karjikayi to start. Then Mysore Rasam, Udupi Tharkari Sambar, Hesarubele & Pomegranate Kosambari, Carrot Beans Alsande Pudi Palya. Steamed rice, jeeraga thambuli, podis, pappads.

Closes with Sihi-elle Kadubu and Avalaki Gulkund Payasa.

Happening from September 12th to 14th.

This Ganesh Chaturthi, The Rameshwaram Cafe at Bommasandra is celebrating the festive spirit with a traditional Anna Lakshmi Habbadoota— a wholesome banana leaf feast that brings together the warmth of Karnataka’s culinary heritage. The spread opens with Kosambari, Herekai Thuvaiyal, and Beetroot Pachadi, followed by festive vegetables like Black Channa Usli, Red Pumpkin Palya, and Mix Veg Kootu. Traditional snacks, Chitranna, Shavige Puliyogare, and a comforting main course of Majjige Huli, Tomato Pappu Rasam, and White/Rajmudi Rice complete the savoury spread. The Ganesha specials steal the show — Kara Modaka, Arashina Yele Kadubu, Holige, and Moong Dal Payasam, finished traditionally with banana, yele-adike, happala, and majjige menasu.

Available from 13th–16th September, 11:30 AM–4 PM

Cafe Amudham has added something new to their menu — a Mushroom Donne Biriyani, now available across all their outlets in Bengaluru.

The biriyani is built around earthy, well-cooked mushrooms, fragrant rice, and a masala that stays true to Amudham’s style — flavourful without going overboard.

If you’ve been a regular at Amudham, this is worth trying alongside your usual order. And if you haven’t visited yet, this might just be a good reason to.

This was at their indiranagar outlet

Basavanagudi just got its perfect evening ritual.

@atithyaa_hotel is now serving evening snacks, and this menu is everything your 5pm self has been waiting for.

We’re talking Duet Idly — button ellu podi idly and ghee podi idly with 3 chutneys. Because one was never enough.

Then there’s the Millet Pumpkin Nuchununde — ragi sevai, grated pumpkin, darshini chutney. The kind of snack that feels both nostalgic and quietly wholesome.

The Chettinad Masala Paniyaram brings the heat — 5 pieces, red chutney, full flavour. And if you’re feeling a little colonial-era curious, the Railway Cutlet is a special oval cutlet straight from Anglo-Tamil cuisine. Three pieces of pure history on a plate.

Kothu Idyappam with raitha. Paneer Sukka Toast. Thiranga Uthappam — Each a star in its own way ! 

Pair any of this with a filter coffee or masala chai and tell me you’re not sorted for the evening. I dare you.

Finding a dosa in Ujjain takes a little faith.

South Indian breakfast isn’t exactly the default here. Poha and jalebi own the mornings in this city, and rightfully so. But I was curious whether I’d find a dosa, and New Shreeji Restaurant & Fast Food in Piplinaka came through.

What surprised me most was the batter. They grind rice and urad dal the traditional way, but fold in a little besan and sugar before spreading — which gives it a slightly golden hue and a texture that’s distinctly their own. Not the dosa I grew up eating. But honest, local, and made with real intention.

The chef was happy to talk through the whole process — no hesitation, genuinely proud of what he was doing. That energy always makes the food taste better somehow.

I did start the morning the right way though — their poha and jilebi first. Soft, lightly spiced poha, and jalebi that had that perfect morning crunch. Classic Ujjain.

If you find yourself in Ujjain and the dosa craving hits — you know where to go.

₹671 for one of the most generous Onam Sadyas you'll find in Bengaluru this season — and it's right here in Gandhi Bazaar.

Every year, Onam is a homecoming. King Mahabali returns from the netherworld to see his people, and his people lay out the finest spread they can — as proof that his golden age still lives on.

At Atithyaa, a place that has been feeding Bengaluru since 1986, that spirit lands differently. There's something fitting about a restaurant rooted in tradition being the one to tell this story on a leaf.

What you're looking at — the avial, erissery, olan, kalan, thoran, rasam, sambar, pachadi, the appam, the idiyappam, the pradhaman — isn't just a menu. It's a meal designed around Ayurvedic balance, where every taste from sweet to astringent has its place and its moment. Rice at the centre. Ghee to open it. Moru to close it. The Kathakali fan watching over the whole thing.

When most Onam Sadyas in the city are asking ₹2000 and above, Atithyaa is doing it for ₹671. You don't have to pay a bomb to eat like Mahabali's people.

That's the whole point of the festival, isn't it.

Available on 23 - 25 th of August and please call the restaurant for reservations or DM them on Instagram

Drove to Doddabalapura just for this. Palav Ramu Hotel — no signboard needed, no Swiggy listing, no Instagram presence. The locals just know.

Crispy vadas straight out of the oil. Pulav ladled out by hand. This is as old-school as it gets.

And the pulav? It’s light. Almost feather-light. Minimal spice, no heavy masala, nothing fighting for attention. The kind of preparation that says — *we’ve been doing this long before you had opinions about food.*

For the purists of Doddabalapura, this IS the taste of home. You can see it in how they eat — no hesitation, no pausing for photos, just heads down and happy.

For someone like me, wired on bold flavours and heavy spice? It was a humbling experience. This pulav wasn’t made for my palate — it was made for its people.

And honestly, that’s the most beautiful thing about old legends. They don’t need to impress everyone. They just need to keep showing up for the ones who matter. 🌿

Stomped grapes with my feet, walked through a vineyard, understood how wine actually gets made, and then sat down to taste and pair it — all in one afternoon. This is exactly the kind of weekend activity I didn’t know I needed.

Rico Vineyards offers one of the most immersive wine experiences I’ve come across — wine stomping (yes, the classic barefoot kind), a guided tour of the vineyard, a walkthrough of the entire manufacturing process, and a proper tasting and pairing session to wrap it up.

What makes it special is how accessible it is. You don’t need to be a wine expert to enjoy this — it’s as much about the experience and the stories as it is about the wine itself. And the prices starting at ₹500, honestly, it’s a steal for everything you get.

If you’ve been looking for something different to do on a weekend — something that’s a little experiential, a little indulgent, and genuinely memorable — put Rico Vineyards on your list.

Some restaurants you walk into as a stranger and walk out feeling like you’ve known the place forever. Oorjaa was exactly that.

Met Chef Raj Sethia for the first time that evening — and within minutes, you could tell this is someone who genuinely thinks about food. The kind of chef who has a clear point of view, and it shows in every single plate.

Indian cuisine in a warm, intimate 40-seater space that doesn’t try too hard but gets everything right. We worked through the Tandoor Platter, the Oorjaa Dal which was rich and deeply comforting, a perfectly crisp Chilli Roti, the Classic Yellow Dal, fragrant Jeera Rice — and just when you think the meal has peaked, out comes the Filter Coffee Rosogulla. A dessert that’s as unexpected as it is memorable.

Every dish had something to say. The flavours were layered, the presentation kept simple and minimal, and nothing felt out of place.

Rameshwaram Cafe does an Onam Sadya. And yes, it’s worth the drive to Bommasandra.

20+ items on the leaf. 

Parippu, sambar, rasam, aviyal, thoran, olan, kootu curry, pachadi, kichadi, erissery, pickle, papad, banana chips, salt, banana — and the payasam that makes the whole thing worth it. The matta rice hits different when it’s got that golden parippu poured right over it.

They’ve got the rhythm right — the sequence, the refills, the way it all comes together on a banana leaf. This isn’t a restaurant trying to do a sadya. This is a sadya that happens to be at a restaurant you already trust.

Priced at ₹550 per person and everything is unlimited (no conditions applied) 

Available till August 30th only at their Bommasandra outlet.

Naati Cafe has always been about bold Karnataka flavours — and now they’ve brought that same energy to JP Nagar.

What started in Koramangala, grew through Ulsoor, and has now landed in South Bengaluru. Three neighbourhoods, one very consistent love for Naati-style food.

And for those of us who eat veg — this place genuinely delivers. The Mushroom Biryani was apparently the first of its kind in the city: aromatic rice, proper Naati masala, no compromises on flavour just because there’s no meat. The Mushroom Chops and Paneer Chops carry that same bold masala profile — inspired by the mutton versions but standing confidently on their own.

Regional cuisine done right, without making vegetarians feel like an afterthought.

Naati Cafe JP Nagar is now open, and if you visit before the 16th, you get a complimentary Special Bellary Chicken on any two-dish order.
