Vidyarthi Bhavan
ವಿದ್ಯಾರ್ಥಿ ಭವನ
A long-standing Gandhi Bazaar institution opened in 1943, famous across the city for its crisp, buttery masala dosas.
Vidyarthi Bhavan opened in 1943 on Gandhi Bazaar in Basavanagudi and originally served nearby students, which is how it got its name, meaning 'Students' Home'. The menu offers only a small selection of South Indian breakfast items. The signature is the masala dosa, crisp outside, soft inside and rich with butter, paired with filter coffee. The restaurant is almost always full; at peak times there are queues outside and shared tables, and weekend mornings are especially crowded. About 150–300 rupees per person. It can be visited together with the nearby Bull Temple and the Gandhi Bazaar neighborhood.
