Bangalore Tamil Veg restaurants (WIP)
I had first come to Bangalore in 1991 and shifted here semi-permanently in 1997. For a city with one-third population of Tamils, it was very difficult to find Tamil style eating places. While the Sagars and Darshinis offered the same Idly/Dosa, Rice, Sambar etc, it was not the same as we get in TN and the pongal they gave was a horrible specimen of the type. Not just me, many of my friends had the same problem. It took a while for me to realise the small eateries in Shivajinagar that provided Tamil food. The situation has changed for the better now and I could see lot more places in Bangalore. Chettinad cuisine also has become very popular, although non-veg, I still have the option of going there for spicy Kara-Kuzhambu.
With this list, I will try to provide a comprehensive listing (not recommendations) of the Tamil style Veg-restaurants that I come across in Bangalore. This is a WIP, and I will update this as and when I come across a new one or if referred by any readers. I will try to provide a separate listing for Non-veg too.

I have been to Krishna Cafe (Koramangala) few years ago...it is quite a nice place.
Hi Kaps
Thanks for the comments. I had only recently chanced upon this place. It was quite good. If you know any other Tamil restaurants, let me know.
I have heard about a Chettinad restaurant called Annachi....haven't been to that place.
Other than this have been to 2/3 restaurants near the movie hall in Malleswaram. Their dosas are yummy and the sambhars are Tam style....not the sweet tasting red colour:-)
Thanks for the blogroll
Hi
Annachi is opposite to my house but Non-Veg. Thanks for reminding the place in Malleshwaram. I also used to frequent one Om-Sakthi mess near Natraj theater.
I visit your blog regularly but was a little lazy to edit my blogroll until today.
Hi,
Has any one tried PONGAL IN jeevan beema nagar road near BSNL? IT IS REALLY TAMILIAN AND SAFE TO OUR PURSE TOO!
