vidyarthi bhavan

one of the best and iconic eatery of old bengaluru. well thisplacehas some good vibes and ambience. it's one of the oldest restaurants of bengaluru, the interiors give you the 1980s feeling, old walls, picture frames of old bangalore and some renowned personalities. old table seatings, glad they haven't changed a lot, also ensuring nothing is worn-out.

we have had masala dosa, khari bath, kesari bath, vada-sambar and washed it down the throat by a strong refreshing filter coffee !! the crispy dosa makes your tastebuds flabbergasted....too good. and the sambar will definitely blow your brains off, it's perfect, tangy, sweet with right amount of spices.

reaching thisplaceis not an issue but finding a parking is. this is definitely a must visitplacewhenever you wish, you do require patience to stand outside and wait for your turn. they do run on first-come-first-serve basis. worth visiting if you live in bangalore.

vidyarthi bhavan is bengaluru’s bestplaceto visit if you’re looking to try the authentic and simplistic of south indian food.

tried some of the dishes on the short menu which they have. it’s always crowded and people are queued with their families on weekends.

uddina wade, poori sagu, kesari bath and the famous crispy and buttery masala dosa is what we tried. don’t miss out on the filter coffee.

thisplacehas a history and it is well known for its authentic masala dosa which is crispy and delicious. i visited it recently and was spellbound by its uniqueness. taste was top notch as i have ordered two types of masala dosas. one was normal masala dosa and other was dosa filled with a different type of masala. and i ended my meal with coffee at the end
as it was a sunday it was jam packed. i recommend to people who are planning to go sundays pls go early and grab aplacethere.

don’t go to thisplaceif you are hungry, keep a margin of about 45 mins. there will be waiting of 30 mins + waiting to be served for 15-20 mins.
also, the worst part is they make you sit with strangers! if a table has one seat vacant you have to accommodate a stranger, who may have different hygiene standards than yours. there is no choice here.
i just could not enjoy my food but had to eat as i had waited for 45 mins.
the good part is the food, the dosas are crispy delightful.

the best, crispiest and tastiest dosa i have ever had! the masala dosa at vidyarthi bhavan is simply outstanding! the filter coffee is one of the best too. the staff are polite andplaceis hygienic and authentic. thoroughly recommended!

thisplaceis an age old dosa idli restaurant. even if you go at 7 in the morning, you'll have to make your way through the long que to get a seat. the dosas are excellent, except that it's very oily.

worth the hype and the efforts you can put like waking up early in the morning, riding for thatplaceif you stay far away and can literally feel blessed if you stay nearby so that you can have whenever you can easily. meant for its experience in existence over 75 years and won't disappoint with the food, breakfast mainly they provide. crowdy all time, just need to checkout for vacancies to experience the best.

very tasty and crunchy masala dosa available at a reasonable rate. the coconut chutney served with it was one of its kind and added to the flavour. a must visit place.
note: thisplaceremains crowded with people and you might have to wait for 30 mins for your turn to come. so plan your visit accordingly!

vidyarthi bhavan! a lot of people say that it has lost its charm. but i am always in love with this place. a super crowded joint which serves crispy dosas and a list of other south indian delicacies. i remember going here in the 90s with my dad. now, whenever i go to basavanagudi, i make it a point to visit thisplacefor a crispy dos-ae and their filter coffee. try visiting on weekdays, as weekends are very crowded here.

one of the oldest places in bangalore, i was excited to visit this place. and went all the way from north of bangalore to south bangalore on a sunday early morning to have some good breakfast.

first of all know that i have never been here before so i can't compare the quality before and the one now. sure would help to make it a point to be there by 7:30 for lesser wait time and give your name at the counter so they can call you once the table is ready. you would have to share it with fellow banagloreans.

we tried everything that was on the menu it won't go beyond 150 rupees per person (max). quantity is perfect for a small human like me. four stars because the chutney lacked salt, masala dosa was thicker than expected and lacked masala and the main dishes were swimming in the side dishes. but that was just a personal preference.

my experience was great! i personally loved the khara baath but masala dosa was ordinary. kesari baath and filter coffee is a must try and a definite show stopper. some people complained about the bitter coffee, but this coffee is as authentic as it gets.

75 years and counting, thisplacedid not disappoint! would go back when i go for another long drive :p

i was shocked to see a huge crowd waiting at thisplacethe first time i went here..

50% of the people are above 50 years old.
taste is good and worth to wait.

heard a lottttt about this place, finally got to visit. reached thisplaceby 8am on sunday and it was very crowded by then. had to wait for 45mins to get inside. there was a guy sitting outside writing everyone’s names in kannada and calling out them at their turn. vintage ambience, small tables and chairs. masala dosas were served to all tables by default. you can then order anything other than that. tried idli, wada, kesari bath, filter kaapi and of course the crisp masala dosa. food was good but not worth the hype.

amazing 😍placeto treat your taste buds with authentic south indian food.placeis very hygienic and staff is very well behaved and dressed neatly in traditional. there is enoughplaceto sit, however ifplaceis too crowded which is quite often, it hardly takes 15 mins to get the seat. i have had the softest idli in last 11 years in bangalore at this place, must try. masala dosa is nicely roasted in ghee and served with delicious coconut chutney. you can stop reading now and go give your taste buds a good treat. i hope you like the food as much as i did. enjoy !!

thisplaceis always jam packed, there no day when you literally don’t have to wait in line to get a table. after waiting we finally got a table, mind it you might have to share your table with others😅
we tried their masala dosa, idli dip, vada and kesari bath, which was outstanding and mouthwatering. sambar and chutney was a true companion really done to perfection. thisplaceis one of the bangalore finest.
