Tiffin Time at Janardhan

“You need to have Dose’ here” said my friend.

He was talking about Hotel Janardhan which is just off race course road. The place has been around for years but I’d naver been there.

Ended up at my friend’s office (which is right behind the place) for a “meeting”. At  2 PM we headed to Janardhan for lunch. A nice South Indian Thali. Probably the best I have tasted in a while. Interesting thing here is that theres nothing else available at that time… only Thali…and the place was packed.

Somehow the meeting “extended” into the evening and at 6:30 we decided to take a break and head for the Dose’. The thing I liked about the place was the lack of variety. He only has a few items in the evening but thats more than enough if you asked me. I did a Sagu Masale’ and was forced to have Badam Halwa. Since we could not have coffee after eating a sweet, we were forced to order some “Benne Muruku”…

I have a meeting again today…

PS: Rating **** 1/2

    Since we could not have coffee after eating a sweet,

    I used to be that way, these days I head for the coffee machine right after dessert. Sadly.

    I have been to Janardhan, I think :-) . Of my MIL sister’s lives close by and they took us there about 11 years ago. Is this a restaurant/hotel? The walls were all green :-) I remember that distinctly. Maiya is too good. We did not even get a chance to try their western desserts!!

    Vijay and Nikhil!! Quick a trip to Maiya and a FULL report soon please :-)

    rads: So sad, I also have black coffee with dessert!

        AH!! You kill me :-) Or even more, my son would NEVER agree to leaving Bangalore without a few trips to Maiya. We just wanted “expert opinion” written for the others ;-) . We had the breakfast buffet and the regular breakfast floor. We never made it to the lunch in silver plates :-(

    I have a deep appreciation for these limited menu places. There’s a Keralite restaurant near home that serves the best food in the whole city. And a limited menu.
