Explore Bangalore's legendary eateries on a trail dedicated to authentic dosas, idlis, filter coffee, and traditional South Indian snacks.

This journey is centered around traditional breakfast and snack items, often called 'tiffin'. The trail typically winds through old neighborhoods like Malleswaram, Basavanagudi, and Gandhi Bazaar, which are home to legendary 'darshinis' (quick-service restaurants) and tiffin rooms that have been operating for decades. Visitors can expect to stand in queues alongside locals for a taste of authentic flavors that have remained unchanged over generations.
