Namaskara,
	After reading about all the good hotel's in bangalore i am really 
surprised that no one made even a passing mention to sanman right next  to kino
theatre on subedar chatram road in seshadripuram, swathi behind central on
platform road also in seshadripuram and one next to malleshwaram police 
station which i believe was sanman's sister hotel. 

sanman which opened in '85 was very famous for its rava idli's. they served it
with ghee, chutni (lots of it) and palav. Oh no i am drooling all over my keybo
ard. all of its north indian dishes and onion dosa and uttapa were very good.
its coffee is worth mentioning. served in a big cup and strong.

swathi opened around '87 and become an instant hit with people of all ages. we
went there for its coffee, which was really good. it used to cost us Rs 2/- for
a cup, but was worth it. and almost all of its dishes were just great. its
tomato soup, donne menasinakai bonda & bonda soup were just incredible. i have 
lost count of the number of birthday parties we had there. one surprising thing 
was, even though sanman and swathi were close to each other, i don't think
sanman lost any of its customers to swathi. both would be full at all times. and
both had very good and economical plate meals.

the one next to malleshwaram police station opened very recently in '90 i think 
(i forgot its name) and was good as it was run by the people of sanman. one
more hotel which comes to my mind is ullas opposite janata hotel on 8th cross
malleshwaram. it was on top of veenus store. it was very inexpensive and had
great malasa tea. its paper dosa and savige uppitu are worth mentioning here.

i don't think i have missed any good hotels in the northern part of bangalore
esp., malleshwaram and yeshwathapur. there are some good ones in sadashivanagar,
palace orchards, etc., which i shall post in my next article. right now i have
got to stop drooling, go home, cook and eat something or else as somebody had
written will have to go and see my travel agent.
 
bye and take care or as we say barla

Oh Boy. I couldn't resist no more.

For singles living in the Malleswaram area, there are two fast service 
dinner
places SHAKTi and SUHAAS, both on Sampige Road

They serve CHAPAATHI and a variety of curries at budget prices and then to
top it off MOSARANNA. Now I would die to have such a dinner anywhere.

And the prices used to be very decent. One could finish dinner with about
Rs 3 or 4. 

And SHAKTI has a branch near the Swastik Bus Stand

And very close to National.* (primary, high, middle, college) there is 
Jyoti
Prakash bakery. Great Jam Buns and badami Haalu

And we used to visit Subbammana Angadi for driving nails into our BUGURIs 
while
we were in national middle school.

And then there was that PURI KAKA.

Bombaat puri maadtidda swami aa Malayaali. Khaara jaasti anta helidare 
mugeetu. 
Belligge ondakke (athava eradakke) hodaaga uri kitt kollodu!

He used to make great tomato puri, soutekai, masaale pineapple and what 
not.
And it was amazing to watch him use the deadly sharp knife with dexterity.

And then the Kadale kai Parishe - the annual peanut fair. It was a blast. 
Damn good peanuts at rock bottom prices

I make it a point to visit VB bakery on every visit. National institutions
(NMS, NHS, NC) have a love affair with VB. Almost always we used to get
Badam Burfy and puffs and buns from them. When I stayed at the National 
College hostel we were being served VB bakery buns every morning.

And how can you forget Vidyarthi Bhavan in Basavana Gudi. Great masale.

Somehow I cannot bring myself to visit MTR again. The first time I visited
them they were callous and arrogant. Thanks but no more MTR for me.

Those were the days..

Hey,  coooooooooooooooool maan
Bakeries have to be considered an integral part of Bangalore life.
No political or cultural correctness, Daivittu beda!!!!
when a bakery is as common as a 1/2 coofee joint, it enters the cultural fabric.

I have been a beer drinker for the last 7 years. With regard to the debate
over the pros and cons of pubs in bangalore, i must say that those  against it
have a strong point. i agree with them as i feel there is no REGULATION enforcedon the customers (age, etc). i have seen kids (adolescents) of impressionable
ages yet to sprout FACIAL HAIR sitting in places like The Pub, 
Oaken Cask etc swilling beer ( and even hard liquor) in large groups. 
Also, many of these kids seem to be from middle/upper class families. 
where do they get money from for a pitcher of beer which, reports say can 
cost upto Rs 100 ? 
Most of these kids do it as it feels MACHO ( I did it too!!) During my time,
i have seen lots of my PEERS stray a little too much and hit ROCK BOTTOM.
I realize that i could have been among them.  It has been my observation
that most of these chaps (at least 50 - 60%) sooner or later try country
liquor ( for kicks) and in many cases GRASS. Many ACK readers will agree with
me!! this is a VERY DANGEROUS trend.

 Our BANGALORE already has enough on its plate. A DRINKING PROBLEM AMONG ITS
YOUTH is certainly one it can do without!!!!! 

May it continue to be known fo favaourable qualities like electronics, science
and tech, its salubrious climate, hospitability etc and not as the dump
favoured by lovers of bachus!!

hope i have'nt come across as a pitcher of beer gone flat!! just thought
i'd say a few words....

We found Molake Hurali in the grocery store "Tom Thumb."  Also, at 
the local Indian store  we can get millet which I used to think was Ragi 
until one of uncles correctly identified it as Navane. 

 You are sure right about Bassaru, and Uppesaru (esp. with Avarekai).
Even though they are very much a Karnataka speciality, they are known
to people from smaller towns or had connections with.  Some of my
Bangalorean friends who had come over for dinner found Uppinesaru
to be exotic!

Good to see the discussion going on about Hotels in Bangalore..
Here's a few more:

>Brahmins Coffee bar in Chamrajpet : Idli-vada ......( Behind Bangalore High School, Bull Temple Road),

>SLV(one of the many) but this one opp. BMS  Engg. college next to the K.E.B. Office
  90% of the BMS Junta lived on the idli-vada there..

>IISc. B mess for its great Rajma/aloo muttar curry

>Mysore Paak and mixture from a small hotel in the "PETH" { Balepet, Chickpet..} area, I think
  it was called Gundappa Hotel.

>And finally a weird Dhaba on Hosur Road, about 4 kms. out from Jnr. 9 Block,
  called Jyoti Hotel I think, for its greasy chicken, hot capsicum curry etc, served
  on aliminium plates and water in plastic "BOSIS", for the real EFFECT.

              The only thing which is synonymous to Bangalore are THE PUBS.
My favorite pubs in b'lore are:
  
RAMDA : Might be one of the first pubs in B'lore(or in India!!!). Anyway the
beer tastes like "UCHHE"(open for comment..)
  
THE PUB : Was reigning the pub world in B'lore from 1984-1988.It's a small
place, but a very pub like atmosphere.
  
OAKEN CASK : Was the second pub to give any sort of competition to THE PUB.
Good music and a very western like atmosphere.
  
THE BRIGADE PUB : On Brigadez ; Serves knockout beer which surely lives by its
name, not so popular.
  
DERBY SPIRIT : On Race course road ; Sardarji's joint and THE place to booze on
weekends.
  
TAKE 5 : Next to Derby spirit, supposed to have a good crowd.
  
HIGH OCTANE : Runs only because MCC is next to it.Guys expect to "LINE MAARO"
MCC chiks there.
  
THE PUB WORLD : Must be among the best pubs in India.Very good music and superb
interior deco. The best crowd hangs out there. God damn expensive,but still a
packed house everyday.
  
BLACK CADIALLAC : Latest entrant,like pub world.
              There are so many other pubs, Maitri pub(Banashankari),
Lava's (Gandhi bazar), Sun Pub(J'nagar), Mexican pub, Cheers etc.......
I'll let others a chance to describe them and also any other new pubs that have
come since.

Somehow I don't find myself agreeing with you. True, Vidyaarthi Bhavan
did have a reputation for Masala dose'. But I think the quality
of the Dose' has been on the decline for quite some years now.
On quite a few occasions, I have found that the Masala dose' there is 
mostly "hiTTu-hiTTu". I have found that there are a few other places
which sell better Masala dose' but I can't recall their names
right now. Can anybody with better memory/greater experience
come up with the names ?

I guess many people (including me) used to visit Vidyaarthi solely 
because of its reputation. I wonder how many times the management has 
changed hands over the past 20-25 years.  But somehow the magic still
lives on. *I* am sure to visit Vidyaarthi the next time I visit
Bangalore even though I know that there are places that sell better 
Masales :-)

  yes, Our UVCE canteen has improved a lot.  (All because of our Bhatta!!!!)
  Our bhatta is not just a good cook but a good buisness man also. If u want any work to get done in the
  University (like getting transcripts, marks card etc etc) first contact our Bhatta and not the REGISTar !!!!!!!!!!
