Food Street aka Thindi Beedi

 

Food Food food, who does not love food and when it comes to road side food the lure of hunger skews up exponentially. But it is very much necessary to know where to get hygienic, appetizing and economical street food. In India the rudimentary problem is hygiene and a careless attitude towards it which sometimes takes a toll on our health. Well no worries, I have got just a right place for you where you can get all kind of street food from Idly to Dosa and from Pakodas (Bhajjis) to Chinese. It’s called Thindi Beedi aka Food street.

Thindi beedi is located in VV Puram,

There is everything here for all ages from kids to elders but you might not find great deal of north Indian food but there is lots more to explore.

The street starts from VB Bakery, perhaps the finest and the oldest bakery known in Bangalore.

Tip:- You might wanna tour the street first, eat everything and then enter here to shop so that you need not have any distractions while eating.

Thindi street is full of eateries and most delightful food you could ever fancy. The food here cannot be labelled cheap but it’s certainly not expensive.

Tip:- Take a dry tour of the boulevard and then choose on the list of options because there lots to eat but certainly you cannot have all .

Here are the few legendary food here,

 

At Shivanna Gulkhan centre you get 2 exclusive deals,

1. Exotic fruits + Gulkand + Ice-cream = Mind-blowing Combo

2. Masala Pepsi

for some strange reason people tend to have printed the wrong spellings all over the street on their shop boards but nothing could beat the following, 

Food street is a strictly veg foodie’s nirvana, so just go there and freak out on the food coz the place is a delight by the evening progresses as the crowd builds up,

Pizza Stop: A Pizza Delight (Updated)

Dominos, Pizza corner, pizza hut, US Pizza and many more but if you have visited Europe then I am sure that you would not like any of the brands I have cited above, I give you Pizza Stop,

Pizza stop is a much unrecognized pizza chain which could be found at around 5 locations in Bangalore, Pizza Stop basically is an Italian pure vegetarian restaurant, they do not say that we are pure vegetarian anywhere but I guess its pure veg because you cannot find any single no-veg dish in here.

We went to the JP Nagar branch which is recently opened; some 15 days back and hence the setup and ambience wasn’t up to the mark but wasn’t bad either. They have a very small and yet dominant collection of food to offer which includes thin crust pizzas baked fresh directly from the oven.

We ordered Spinichi Fungi Tripolati and I was just lost in the taste, the pizzas were so good that I have decided not to go to regular famous pizza chains anymore,

Well I loved the place and would definitely recommend you also to visit it the next time you crave for a good pizza,

Update: I recently visited the place again and to my surprise the prices have skewed up a little,

My report Card for the Pizza Stop JP Nagar is

Price – 8 7/10

Taste – 9/10

Service – 6 5/10

(They have only 1 waiter as of now and they really need to improve on that)

Ambience – 5/10

Value for money – 8 7/10

Will I go back – Without any doubt

Suggi is a quiet a delicious place. Suggi is a great place with a very cosy ambience and of course food is just delicious.

You may find the food a bit greasy but the flavour is wonderful. You can just select anything and order and be rest assured that it will be excellent. They have loads of selections in veg and non veg both, starting from Beverages, soups, Side dishes and different types of dosas. Please do not forget to ask for tender coconut kheer, it will simply blow your mind away.

Suggi is an splendid place but there was just one problem when I visited the place last time, a restaurant is known by its spotlessness and presentation. I have been here a couple of times and both the times almost everything was alright except the following,

A little disarray is tolerable this is purely unacceptable.

Thank God its Friday, Again

TGIF 2nd branch has opened up in newly built Meenakshi mall,

Its located on Bannerghetta road

The place is luxurious and has an amazing vibe to it which gives you a natural feeling of leisure.

It’s a kind of place where friends can sit and chat for hours or enjoy the game of cricket for hours but only drawback is that its way overpriced

Food is mouth-watering

And for drinks also they have loads of selection,

UpSouth

 

Ever been to Vidhyarthi bhawan, Upahar Darshini or Dose Camp ? Yes I m sure that all of us in any case have paid at least a single visit to these places. On the same note a fresh ‘Bon south’ joint venture has opened up its outlet in Bangalore called “UpSouth”,

The restaurant is located just opposite to the Ragigudda temple Arch, on one of the corner on the main Jaynagar 9th block bus stop traffic signal.

The place has 2 floors and the interiors are quiet tranquil in character,

You can discover broad array of south Indian selections here, from individual dish to scrumptious combos. But the lone displeasing thing is that combos are priced at respectable rates with more than enough quantity but all stand alone dishes are quiet heavily priced in contrast to the combos, a plate of Idly for 40/- does not make sense when you can buy a combo with 6-7 items.

In short it’s a best Saturday – Sunday morning breakfast or brunch option, There is nothing further which can be told about Upsouth, its simply amazing, You must try coffee here, most likely the finest filter coffee I have ever experienced in Bangalore (I haven’t tasted coffee a lot though )

My report card for UpSouth, Bangalore is,

Price – 7/10

Taste – 9/10

Service – Self Service

Ambience – 6.5/10

Value for money – 9/10 (If you are buying combos)

Will I go back – I have already been there 5 times
