Indian Coffee House

This weekend has decided to be exceptionally out of the kitchen!

The afternoon found me walking the streets of Bengaluru with Bar. We walked past the coffee house and somehow Bar had the vague notion that it served only coffee!!! He stands humbly corrected...!

Saturday afternoon... pretty much just out of bed... apples in the name of breakfast... running to the bank to make a credit card payment and then looking around for a black sweater yours truly insisted on buying! Hunger had to strike! :D

First order:
1 mutton cutlet!
1 scrambled eggs on toast
1 omelette with chips!
2 cold coffees!

After the aforesaid has been made to vanish in seconds (apart from the coffee) another plate of mutton cutlets makes its way to us! 12 seconds flat and our tummies have devoured that as well!

As we sit sipping on the cold coffee, our eyes wander to the rustic look of the place... it's b-e-a-u-t-i-f-u-l! The rickety old fan.. dirty old walls... benches for sitting... the ornate hats of the waiters... the sepia paled posters... the tiny 'katori' with 'saunf' and the bill... (which was just 110 for so so much!)... It all added up to a fantastic Saturday afternoon! :)

(The coffee house in Jabalpur is where dad had proposed to mum! :) )

Location: Indian Coffee House
13, Mahatma Gandhi Road,
Bangalore, 560001
080 25587088


Verdict: For a quintessential Saturday afternoon while exploring Bengaluru... this is it!
