5 Options for your Bangalore Feast under 200 bucks

Month end, right? It is tough anywhere, but, in Bangalore especially, when the weather is beautiful, and you always feel hungry, it’s just brutal. So, where do you go and what do you eat in Bangalore, when all you have is 200 bucks in your broke ass wallet? Here is a cheat sheet for your Bangalore feast under 200 bucks. You can thank us later!

Kota Kachori, Koramangala

No pocket-friendly Bangalore food list can start without mentioning Kota Kachori first. It is a Jain breakfast joint, in the foodie haven of Koramangala. But, know what? I can have kachori’s for lunch, and dinner too! Hell, wake me up in the middle of the night with a bowl of Kachori from this joint, and I will gobble it down without breaking a sweat. 

Here’s what you must eat:

In case you are in mood for something more mainstream for your lunch, or dinner, you could also order their Thalis. The Premium Thali costs INR 180, and my favorite Jaipuri Thali is only INR 100. Yup, just find your way to Koramangala now.

Baba Chatkora, BTM Layout

If you are craving for a slice of Punjab, in the middle of Bangalore, make a beeline for the BTM Layout. Baba Chatkora brings Punjab’s Kulcha, and Chaaps, to the cool Bangalore. 

Here’s what you must eat:

You can also gorge on Rajma Chawal (for INR 80), dig into a Pind da Thali (for INR 100), or enjoy their famous Chaaps (starting at INR 150). So, what’s the hold up? Chheti Kar, Yaar!

Kylie’s – The Bao Shop, Church Street

Let’s say you want something a little more exotic. How about a Bao? To the uninitiated, a Bao is an oriental sandwich, made of super soft, mildly sweet, steamed bread. At Kylie’s, you can have a plate of two, decent sized Baos, for peanuts.

Here’s what you must eat:

There are a host of other filling options – fish, lamb, paneer, chicken, and pork. The most famous, apart from the Teriyaki, are the Char Siu Pork Bao, the Hickory Smoked Chicken Bao, and the Patatas Bravas (Veg). There is a lovely Banana Caramel dessert, if you have a few extra bucks to spare. 

Nellai Aappakadai, Koramangala

Back in Koramangala, the broke foodie’s paradise. This time, we are in a Chettinad joint, lusting for their Appams. Just remember, Chettinad food is spicy. So, choose wisely.

Here’s what you must eat:

They also have an irresistible Mutton Kheema Appam (for INR 130), Stuffed Chicken/Mutton Kaima Idlys (starting at INR 120), and a signature range of beverages, titled Jigarthanda (starting at INR 70). 

Mavalli Tiffin Room, Basavangudi

Let us close with the legendary MTR, where no matter how stuffed you get, running a INR 200 bill would be a tough challenge. Everything you taste here is authentic Bangalore – so soak it in. The amazeball Masala Dosa, the heavenly Rava Idlys, the delectable Kesari Bath – you cannot go wrong with anything here.

Here’s what you must eat:
