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. 📍 New Shreeji Restaurant & Fast Food, Piplinaka, Ujjain <nis:link nis:type=tag nis:id=vinaysathyam nis:value=vinaysathyam nis:enabled=true nis:link/> <nis:link nis:type=tag nis:id=ujjain nis:value=ujjain nis:enabled=true nis:link/> <nis:link nis:type=tag nis:id=poha nis:value=poha nis:enabled=true nis:link/> <nis:link nis:type=tag nis:id=dosainujjain nis:value=dosainujjain nis:enabled=true nis:link/> <nis:link nis:type=tag nis:id=breakfast nis:value=breakfast nis:enabled=true nis:link/>
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. 📍 Oorjaa – North Indian Cuisine, Palace Road, High Grounds, Bengaluru <nis:link nis:type=tag nis:id=oorjaa nis:value=oorjaa nis:enabled=true nis:link/> <nis:link nis:type=tag nis:id=vinaysathyam nis:value=vinaysathyam nis:enabled=true nis:link/> <nis:link nis:type=tag nis:id=bengaluru nis:value=bengaluru nis:enabled=true nis:link/> <nis:link nis:type=tag nis:id=indiancusine nis:value=indiancusine nis:enabled=true nis:link/> <nis:link nis:type=tag nis:id=bangalore nis:value=bangalore nis:enabled=true nis:link/>
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.

Sunday mornings just got a serious upgrade ! Spent one at UB City discovering a South Indian breakfast spread that’s only around on weekends — @_madraskitchen has this beautiful thing going where the menu changes just for Sundays, 8 to 11:30 am, and it’s worth setting an alarm for. Thatte idli, benne masala dosa, puliyogare, and a shavige bath that hit exactly right — homely, comforting, the kind of food that doesn’t need much dressing up. Pesarattu was a nice surprise, and the ven pongal and sakkara pongal were good enough that I went back for seconds. What stayed with me was how homely everything tasted despite the setting — proper five-star ambience but the food had that made-with-care quality you don’t always get in hotel breakfasts. Staff were warm, the weather cooperated, and honestly this might be one of the better Sunday mornings I’ve had in a while in this city. If you’re someone who plans weekends around food (no judgment, same), this one’s worth the drive to UB City. Save this for your next Sunday plan 💚 <nis:link nis:type=tag nis:id=ubcity nis:value=ubcity nis:enabled=true nis:link/> <nis:link nis:type=tag nis:id=cubbonpark nis:value=cubbonpark nis:enabled=true nis:link/> <nis:link nis:type=tag nis:id=bangalorebreakfastwalks nis:value=bangalorebreakfastwalks nis:enabled=true nis:link/> <nis:link nis:type=tag nis:id=thatteidli nis:value=thatteidli nis:enabled=true nis:link/> <nis:link nis:type=tag nis:id=sundaybreakfast nis:value=sundaybreakfast nis:enabled=true nis:link/> bangalorefood
I’ve been a customer of @yauatchabengaluru @yauatcha_india at least from a decade and every single experience of mine has been a delight! My only choice for dessert when I’m here is the raspberry delice over the years and this time I went a bit away from my traditional choice and opted for the pecan and coffee delice. Man! This one is a star too ! That little ice cream scoop adds so much of depth into the entire flavour of ye dessert. Whatever I order for starters and main course usually remains more or less the constant.

When a breakfast meetup unexpectedly turns into a watch enthusiasts’ gathering… What started with conversations over a fantastic South Indian breakfast at Madras Kitchen soon evolved into something every watch lover cherishes. Plates made way for wrist shots, and discussions shifted from dosas and coffee to craftsmanship, horology, heritage, movements, complications, finishing, iconic designs, and the fascinating stories behind each timepiece. One of the best things about the watch community is that it isn’t about the price tag—it’s about the passion. Every watch has a story, whether it’s a first automatic, a family heirloom, a milestone purchase, or a dream watch achieved after years of waiting. Listening to those stories is just as exciting as seeing the watches themselves. Moments like these remind me that the best communities are built around shared passions. Great food brought us together, but our love for watches kept the conversations going for hours. To everyone who joined in, shared your collection, your knowledge, and your enthusiasm—thank you for making it such a memorable morning. Here’s to many more breakfasts, wrist checks, and conversations that go far beyond telling the time. <nis:link nis:type=tag nis:id=watchcollectors nis:value=WatchCollectors nis:enabled=true nis:link/> <nis:link nis:type=tag nis:id=watchenthusiasts nis:value=WatchEnthusiasts nis:enabled=true nis:link/> <nis:link nis:type=tag nis:id=horology nis:value=Horology nis:enabled=true nis:link/> <nis:link nis:type=tag nis:id=watchcommunity nis:value=WatchCommunity nis:enabled=true nis:link/> <nis:link nis:type=tag nis:id=bengaluruwatchcommunity nis:value=bengaluruwatchcommunity nis:enabled=true nis:link/>
Certain places go unnoticed in our daily lives, and in the process, we might miss something truly worthwhile. Here’s CKP Canteen, tucked inside the premises of Karnataka Chitrakala Parishath. It’s a simple, old-school place with nostalgic vibes and a classic Bengaluru menu. The highlight here has to be their old Bengaluru style masala dosa, along with the pulav and buns. And here’s the best part — this place is open to everyone, not just visitors of Chitrakala Parishath.

Chennai foodies kept talking about this one. So I had to find out. Kosmo Cafe, Alwarpet. A tiny spot on TTK Road — metro construction all around, no real seating, and a row of cars parked outside like it’s some kind of secret clubhouse. That alone told me something interesting was going on here. Their Cold Milo. Served in mud glasses, this isn’t your regular packet Milo from school canteen memories. It’s thick, malty, properly cold — and somehow more satisfying especially when they top up milo powder right out of the pouch in front of you! For 90s kids, Milo was always a memory — Kosmo took that memory, chilled it down, and turned it into a cult drink that Chennai clearly can’t stop talking about. Did it live up to the hype? Mostly yes. Is it worth making a stop for? Hmm , yeah I guess , if you’re ok with a bit of sugar load 😁 Simple drink. Strong identity. That’s all a place really needs. 📍 Kosmo Cafe, Alwarpet, Chennai <nis:link nis:type=tag nis:id=vinaysathyam nis:value=vinaysathyam nis:enabled=true nis:link/> <nis:link nis:type=tag nis:id=alwarpet nis:value=alwarpet nis:enabled=true nis:link/> <nis:link nis:type=tag nis:id=kosmocafechennai nis:value=kosmocafechennai nis:enabled=true nis:link/> <nis:link nis:type=tag nis:id=coldmilo nis:value=coldmilo nis:enabled=true nis:link/> <nis:link nis:type=tag nis:id=chennai nis:value=chennai nis:enabled=true nis:link/> @kosmocafe
Namma Filter Coffee’s take on a portable filter coffee tub, apparently inspired by the 1996 movie. There’s something nice about a decades-old filter coffee tradition getting packaged in a format this playful — lid pops off, coffee’s right there, none of the ceremony but all of the flavour. Bengaluru’s filter coffee culture keeps finding new ways to travel with us — dabaras to tumblers to now this. Curious what’s next.

Sunday evenings are meant be unhurried. So I let the evening decide, and it led me here. Tucked into Gandhi Bazaar, Mahalakshmi Tiffin Room has been quietly doing its thing since 1926 — long before Basavanagudi looked anything like it does today. Wooden chairs, marble tables, a menu board that hasn’t changed in spirit even if the prices have. I started with the Kali dosa, and honestly, it melted in the mouth — dark, soft, nothing like the crisp dosas everyone’s used to. Then the masala dosa, a single idly, and a jamoon for good measure, because why stop at one thing when everything’s this good. The filter coffee arrived last, strong and unhurried, the perfect way to close out the evening. Places like this still carry the old charm of Bengaluru. They just are. And on a slow Sunday, that’s all you need. ☕🌆 <nis:link nis:type=tag nis:id=oldbangalore nis:value=OldBangalore nis:enabled=true nis:link/> <nis:link nis:type=tag nis:id=basavanagudi nis:value=Basavanagudi nis:enabled=true nis:link/> <nis:link nis:type=tag nis:id=gandhibazaar nis:value=GandhiBazaar nis:enabled=true nis:link/> <nis:link nis:type=tag nis:id=sundayevening nis:value=SundayEvening nis:enabled=true nis:link/> <nis:link nis:type=tag nis:id=filtercoffeediaries nis:value=FilterCoffeeDiaries nis:enabled=true nis:link/>
Last evening I was about to throw away a cake wrapper at home, and out of habit, glanced at the ingredients list before tossing it. A simple fruit cake had more preservatives and chemicals than actual bakery ingredients — in plain numbers, not even close. Decided to dig into every single additive on that label. What I found genuinely surprised me. Swipe through for the full breakdown. A reminder to make informed choices with processed foods — this isn’t against any one brand, but until there are buyers for such things, there will always be sellers. 🙂
This is the “classic Bengaluru masala dosa” has been loved for generations — the kind you’d find at old-school darshinis and udupi hotels, made simply with oil on a well-seasoned tawa. It comes out crisp on the outside, soft inside, with the classic taste everyone grew up with. No fancy techniques, just good batter, hot oil, and years of practice. Paired with the classic potato palya, & chutney. it’s the kind of dosa that doesn’t need to try hard — it’s just done right. @cafeamudham is bringing back this old-school method, made the way Bangalore has always known and loved it. Simple, honest, and full of flavour and memories.
