When it comes to savouring soft idlis and crunchy vadas, all roads in South Bengaluru lead to Sri Lakshmi Venkateshwara Coffee Bar, or SLV as this string of eateries is popularly known. And it is no surprise given the fact that the brothers behind this tiffin house enterprise have over 125 years of combined experience in the making of the idli, vada and khara bath, beginning with extended stints at the iconic Brahmins’ Coffee Bar where they learnt the trade. I met the brothers behind SLV, Srinivas Bhat, Krishna Bhat and Anantha Bhat at their flagship eatery as it completed 35 years last month to find out what makes their offerings so special.
Idli
The idli is porous and the sort that dissolves in the mouth when steaming hot. The chutney makes for a flavourful accompaniment to permeate through the idli with its ‘flowing’ consistency and spicy fervour. One of the best idlis one can taste in Bengaluru. The butter, to be honest, is an unnecessary but decadently tasty indulgence!
Rs. 28 (usd 0.4) for two idlis; Rs. 10 (usd 0.1) for butter per idli

Vada
The vade here is double fried ensuring a crisp crunchy bite from the first bite to the last, on the inside it is soft and porous, speckled with black pepper, green chillies and curry leaves.
Rs. 22 (usd 0.3) per vada
9/10
Chowchow Bath
The khara bath is ‘runny’ in its texture and quite loaded in its flavour, one can taste the aroma of the spice mix that goes into the preparation here. The kesari bath is lush with ghee, and studded with pineapple flecks and cashew.
