Hungry, kya? Posted on December 30, 2008December 30, 2008 “You’ve never been to Food Street?†I could hear disbelief in Badri’s voice when I replied in the negative. It’s true. I’ve never been there. Never had the chance. And besides, no one’s ever suggested meeting at Food Street before. So on Sunday evening, a few of us got together and decided on a rendezvous at this place. It was as expected : a lot of food. I had just had a large Sunday brunch and decided to concentrate on photography while the other wolved down everything in sight. We started from one end and this itself lasted well over an hour : chaats, bondas, akki rotis, idlis, dosas (served with some delicious chutneys), pakodas, masala cold drinks, badaam milk, buttered corn – nothing was spared. And just when I thought we had tasted it all, we were at the next stall! They even have Chinese and “Manchoory†on offer. “This is bigger than Khao Galli,†was Vishal’s comment. Vishal was our visitor from Mumbai. The corn stall was a big hit with mango corn, butter corn and every kind of corn on offer. Divya tried everything possible and still some more with Archana giving her company. The guy at the corn stall even had a mechanized fan that was attached to his cart to blow the air. Then a few policemen came and tried to push them out of the galli. No doubt this is an everyday affair. They will probably be back soon. The “masalafied†pepsi, fanta and soda – weird! Though everyone seemed to be enjoying it. The place is crowded from one end to the other. It’s done, I thought as we reached the end. No, says Badri. We now need to cross over and do the other side of the street. Even a foodie like me was mortified! So that was my Food Street experience. I definitely wished I could have gone there with an empty stomach and not after a 3 hour meal! But next time… Located at VV Puram, walking distance from Lalbagh West Gate. Open from 6 pm till well after 11 pm. Must visit: But only if you’re upto street food and anything it has to offer. Not for those with a delicate constitution.

I really need to get someone to take me there one of these days… I agree. Yummy post and too bad you didn’t have an empty stomach! (nice photos though) Reply
yups, what you say is right. go there empty stomach and not after a 3 hour meal..at the end of the road in one corner there is a very famous bakery hidden behind the temple, did you try something there? i had made a post long back, hope you like it. it’s here. Reply
It is definitely the place to enjoy some yummy desi delicacies. You should go again and try it out. Anytime late or when we want South Indian dishes, that is where we head. My two cents about the place can be read here Reply
@ Venky: Glad it whetted your appetite! @ Cindy: You must! It’s quite an experience 🙂 But take a local! @ tanay: nice detailed post! and nice pics too. recognised some of the usual suspects! didn’t try the bakery – will do the next time! @ aathira: 🙂 glad to be of help! @ anu: yes, definitely. will go again sometime! @ Lubna: thanks and same to you!

putting two and two together, I believe you were advised by the “great cyclist” Badri whose adventures will soon form the Mr. Bean sequel…:) Reply
@ Asmysham: heh – yes, i think there can only be one “badri” the great cyclist!! but i wasn’t aware of his mr bean reputation 🙂 Reply
Incidentally the Dosa Maker is exactly the same guy we all visit each time.. :)..kya consistency hai 🙂 Reply
Wow! I did not know there was such a street in Bangalore. Should check it out next time I am in Bangalore. Reply
Anita, We live in the US but my husband is visiting his family in Bangalore now. Based on this post, he went to Food Street today and enjoyed it very much. Thanks for the post. Reply
