We thought about making a blog post about the best authentic Bangalore street food places and what better a place than Bangalore's own Food Street, V.V.Puram.
I studied in Jain PU College, V.V.Puram and as you might have guessed, I was a regular there. Name almost any food you want and there's a good chance you might get it there. From the everyday to the exotic.
So here's my write up about Food Street, or in Kannada, Thindi beedhi.
Directions:
It is located near Sajjan Rao circle in VV Puram. If you are taking a bus or an auto, get down at Sajjan Rao circle, and the food street starts right next to it. If you are driving, you can get the driving directions from google maps:
General Info:
If you're a guy who is picky about what he places in his pie hole, this is probably not the place for you. If you are like me, who eats just about anything, get ready for the best three hours of your culinary life!

What to eat:
1. V B Bakery
Though this exactly fit into the culinary repertoire of Chat street, It is definitely worth a mention for it's amazing plain cake, cream puff and apple cake. My recommendation : Eat your fill in chat street(or more if you're a foodie of course) and then honor the time old tradition of having dessert at the end of your meal. As always, there is parceling also.Ramu's Ghee Masala Dosa
Mouthwatering-ly aromatic, Sinfully delicious, this slice of heaven born out of pure ghee will be yours for just 30 Rupees.
Eating time = as fast you can demolish them.
Guilt period = number of dosas consumed * 4 weeks, 5 if you don't exercise.
Idli Mane
Tired of ghee soaked monstrosities at Ramu's Tiffin Center? Hop over to Idli Mane to consume the unholy offsprings of Idli and Dosa - The Paddu.
Good things come in small packages and these are the perfect examples for the statement.
You could also try some of it's extended family for considerably less guilt, such as the Idli, Akki/Ragi rotti.
Unnamed Bajji Stall
Time to take your mouth for a roller coaster ride. Get an explosion of flavor, oil and the chilies before running to douse your mouth with a hose. These atomic bombs of flavor will make your day. Special Recommended is the Bell pepper Bajji with extra veggie fillings and a hint of lime.
North Indian style
Pining for the rustic tastes of the north? Head over to one of the numerous north Indian stalls around. Their amazing curries will take you back to your hometown for a few minutes and the rotis feel like wisps of cloud made out of flour.
Holige
Another must-try stall is the one selling holige (puran poli). Coconut holige is my personal favorite. Even the plain Dal Holige drenched in desi ghee is sumptuous.
Going to chat street is like a pilgrimage to meet the culinary gods for less than 200 bucks. You'll want more and more and before you know it, You are a foodie!
If you are still reading this, What is wrong with you?! Shutdown your computer, grab a couple of buddies and make your tastebuds lose feelings in their knees!
