ADIGA'S

Majestic, Bangalore



For an old time Bangalorean, the Idlis and steaming Coffee at Brahmin's Coffee Bar in Shankarapuram is part of their life. I have known several people who would break their journey when they are passing the Brahmin's Coffee Bar to take a bite of the hot idli. Such is the popularity of these Idlis and coffee and Adiga's Chain of Hotels took its birth from this Coffee Bar. The entrepreneur in Mr. Vasudeva Adiga from Kundapur (South Canara) made him chart a course of his own. Armed with an engineering degree in 1984 he did the rounds of job scouting, before taking over an ailing eatery SLV hotel in Gandhi Bazaar. The small but well known Brahmana Coffee Bar noted for its Idlis in Shankarapuram which his father maintained is where he learnt the ropes of the trade. He renovated the SLV hotel and the response was tremendous. The take over of his brother in law's ailing eatery and naming it as Adigas Fast Food by maintaining high standards of quality and hygiene (fully mechanized) and service has resulted in the well known ADIGA'S CHAIN of restaurants. A gamble well executed as in the offing is two more branches to delight the addicts of the Adigas hotels.





For a first time visit at any of their outlets, it is recommended to order for their famous Masala Dosa, Rava Idli, Vada, Gulab Jamun and Coffee. The taste of Coffee is unique and reminds me of the MTR variety with the just right flavour bringing out the richness of the coffee bean. For a growling tummy this is manna. The rotis and accompanying gravy dishes are excellent. The specialty at Majestic branch is the newly introduced Jollada rotti meals (50/=) a North Karnataka specialty. The South Indian meals priced at 30/= is wholesome. In the self service wing mini meals at 15/= caters to small budgets, and those in a hurry. Keeping the diner's pulse in mind he has the Executive meal, for the calorie conscious with less rice, but with chapattis, salad etc. "VALUE FOR MONEY, SERVICE WITH a SMILE and CUSTOMERS KNOW BEST" drives his business enterprises. At the restaurants the day starts early and closes by 11 pm. It will not be a surprise to find a friendly gentleman sauntering towards you, to chat and casually take the feedback - That's Vasudeva Adiga. A lot of foreigners frequent the Dickenson branch.
