Eating in Bangalore

If you roam around the main shopping areas in Bangalore during the weekends, one thing clearly strikes you: Bangaloreans like to eat. Eat a lot. Be it a small road-side food joint like paani-puri stall or bonda-bajji shop or fruit juice place or a fancy and expensive restaurant, if it is in the right location, it is going to be crowded. If you go near Cool Joint in Jayanagar 4th block, you can see people putting their arms and legs at risk to grab their sandwich. The line at Ganesha Dosa camp in 3rd block is rumoured to reach at least a couple of kilometers. If you go to a nice restaurant on Saturday evening for dinner, you will be squarely asked to come back on the same time on Monday, because they are booked solid on Saturday and Sunday ;-) Bangaloreans quickly became rich, or at least spendy, but the infrastructure is not keeping up. If you want to have a nice, peaceful dinner during weekends, the only place to have it is your own home! If you are thinking of a second job, there is no better thing than to open a restaurant.
