Nagarjuna

I wanted to write about Nagarjuna for a long time, but I never believed that I could do justice to the restaurant with my blog (and still don't). However, I couldn't have a blog about restaurants in Bangalore and not have Nagarjuna in it.

There are three Nagarjunas in Bangalore and I love all of them. But, if you have to visit any one of them I would suggest the CMH road one as it is neither too crowded like the Residency Road one or completely deserted like the Jayanagar one.

These restaurants are not famous for their ambiance or their fancy food, but are famous for their meals. At Nagarjuna, I always order a veg meal and a chicken starter to go with it. When you decide you are going to visit Nagarjuna ensure that you miss the previous meal as you have to stuff yourself to enjoy Nagarjuna. You would always start the meal with ghee soaked rice and dal powder. This dal powder with papad and the coconut based chutney they serve makes me return to Nagarjuna time and again. The vegetable curries which are served along with the Meal are also good, but the dal with spinach is the best dal that money can buy. They also serve sambhar, rasam and kadi with the meal, but I never had enough room in my stomach to savour those. One should always end the meal with curd as you need something to soothe your stomach after the spicy food.

Nagarjuna is easy on the pocket too where a veg thali costs about Rs.90 and the chicken starter which is enough for two, costs about Rs.150. So a meal for two would cost you about Rs 350 and trust me it is worth every rupee.
