During my two years in Bangalore, I found that most of the non-bangaloreans have just heard about the place but have never eaten there(which is a pity). This is one of the few places outside of Kolkata, where I found the street food to be worth living for. The place as I mentioned is a small, unimpressive and maybe even an unhygienic little place and one has to stand and eat. But for a food-lover that shouldn't be a problem as the food they offer makes up for all it's short-comings.
I have heard and read that Hotel Fanoos is famous for it's sheekh kabab rolls and the fact that it is open till the wee hours of the morning. But, I found that the boti kabab rolls are the best thing one can have here (maybe even in the whole of Bangalore) and also that you have to reach before 8:00 pm to enjoy the boti rolls (or they get finished). Also, for all of you haleem-lovers, Fanoos serves a killer haleem during Ramzan.
I should warn all the so called self-proclaimed food-lovers of Bangalore that one shouldn't go to this place if one believes that a place serving good food should be clean and shiny. The only thing one gets here is delicious food and for a food-lover that should be enough.
