Sir waiting for second part. It's torture.

[@venkatesh1972]

My humble pardon for the mistake in uttering Siruvani from Thanjavur.. what I meant was Siruvani from Coimbatore and Cauvery from Thanjavur

Sir I'm a huge fan. Made your tomato rice recipe yesterday, for the nth time. Much love and respect from Kerala❤

[@Savethemanuals94]

Bhattu kutty!

[@deepikasundar4875]

I like your presentation and your stories! All the best sir!

[@Subtlerays]

it is ok Sir ..our cauvery is as sweet as Siruvaani .. 😅

[@vasanthkumarjayaraman6753]

A hard core vegetarian, Chef Bhat has the knack, to smell a non vegetarian dish, and tell, if the meat is cooked or not. Great rendezvous.

[@Jayprakasharvind625]

Thanks Kripal, for introducing us to this pioneer. His channel is the need of the hour for me. Its stupendous how passionately the chef speaks about the South Indian Cuisine, about his culinary journey, so much so, that Kripal's disposition got eclipsed by the Chef Venkatesh Bhat, in this episode. 😅

[@eminem2000in]

Two of the three people that kept us going during the pandemic (the other being Bharadwaj Rangan). This is the crossover that we all needed!!

[@rohithiyer2002]

Bengaluru needs one such high-class buffet restaurant like Royal Indianaa for vegetarians - unfortunately most of the buffet restaurants here are all of the same pattern - grills etc. Request Venkatesh Bhat Sir to reopen his creations in Bengaluru with the same love he has given to Chennai

[@sunithastehly9943]

I will visit Bengaluru, IF Venky Bhat opens a full fledged Vegetarian restaurant that would fulfill the tasty desires of a South Indian. - Love from USA

[@jaysreecs4566]

You really deserve to have a place like Royal Indianaa. I hope you get one soon. The one in Chennai is too good.

@@jranga Thanks for your recommendations, as a Bengalurian - both the restaurants I have tried and may not match what the restaurant from Venkatesh Bhat used to operate in the city earlier...

[@udoram]

It is one of the rare occasion that kripal has been outshined in an episode. Venkatesh, wish you keep rolling(ruling) in the next episode also.

[@KIRANKUMARVK-1974]

Great collaboration and was dying to watch venkatesh speak kannada.

[@ItsmeSRG]

This Episode is amalgamation of Stalwarts from the culinary landscape, Kripal Sir & Venkatesh Bhat.Its Very hard for one to grab attention away from Kripal Sir when he is around but have to say Venkatesh Bhat made it happen. The Show was just 🔥🔥

[@rajeshramachandran1704]

Good afternoon dear Kripal - Just returned home after a scrumptious weekend family lunch 👍 Now straight diving into the vlog that I was quite eager to watch . Wow you are going to dine at the Royal Indiana with your friend Chef Venkatesh Bhat 👍👍 Great memory by Chef to clearly mention that he last met you 17 years ago 👍As one of your subscribers correctly mentioned two story-tellers coming together and hence it might be a 2 part vlog . That’s been on spot 😀😀 Agree in the Marghazhi month - It is considered auspicious and is associated with various cultural and religious events in Tamil Nadu. Chef Venkatesh’s punctuality and commitment is commendable 👍 I am yet to watch any of his YT vlogs . Let me check one of these days . Seems to be an interesting concept to spread culinary knowledge and awareness. For a change you are relatively silent today 😅 The ambience of the restaurant is cool 👌. Never heard of this welcome drink Wasantani ( looks to be a simple recipe ) . Oh it’s a complete vegetarian restaurant. Great his entire family has a hoteliers background. Phew what a fabulous buffet spread including Chef Venkatesh’s specialties 👌👌 Different types of Rice dishes 😋 It’s great to get into research coz that’s quintessential for improvising the dishes that has to be offered 💯💯💯 Good observation and comment by Chef Venkatesh on the common passion and value that he shares with you . Back to the table to continue with the conversation with CV 👍 The first dish - Vazhai Thandu Paruppu Saaru🍲. Like their core value “Serve from the Heart” . Dissection of the ingredients of the Soup by two legends 💯💯💯Good story on how HSB paved its way to an arena once dominated by the Udipi chain of restaurants 👌 Good of CV to talk about the vlog with the late Puneet Kumar ( 🥲) Next items Kuzhi-Paniyaram , Vella-Paniyaram & Poondu Dosa 😋 Poo-vazhai-pottu making its way into the plate 👍👍 Glad that you relished it thoroughly 👌 Next to the Poondu Dosa ( it’s one of my favourite) . I can have it on as-is basis 😋 Oh I just saw the Paneer Soda 👍 The spiced baby potato looks super yummy 😋 Need to try this dish 👌 Thoroughly enjoyed every single minute of your conversation with Chef Venkatesh . Kudos to him for his passion , commitment , honesty and integrity 💯💯💯 What a fab combo you both make and it’s a treat to your viewers. May your friendship continue to forge and grow stronger with the passage of time . Too good chief . You could have got Boss to Chennai . Anyways I am overwhelmed by this vlog and cherished watching it . Super eager to watch the Part 2 of the vlog . You take care , stay safe , have a wonderful day ahead and God bless 😇 Loads of love & respect 🤗🤗🤗❤️❤️❤️💯💯💯

[@FoodLoversTV]

Hi Rajesh, glad you enjoyed this episode. Chef venkatesh Bhat is a legend, and I feel rather privileged to call him a friend from two decades ago. The interesting conversation with Chef aside, the food at Royal Indianaa too, as you have rightly surmised, is the sort that impresses. I would recommend it as a must visit for vegetarians who would like to taste some great dishes and in an environment that's top class. The second episode has plenty more of the food, and I hope you enjoy the watch too. Happy Sunday. Cheers!

[@prasvasu4217]

We'd love to see you host Chef Bhat in Blore. He's an extremely open minded personality who's not run out of recipes for 15 years; and explains the stories and context behind the food with such passion. A Chef and a storyteller par excellence! An explorer of our vast South Indian traditions and styles!

[@sumanmundkur8030]

Venkatesh Bhat please open a good restaurant in Bengaluru. Sadly it is impossible to get good South Indian food in North Bangalore..

@Kripal - The interesting thing is that Mr. Bhat is related in a way to the owners of Matsya restaurant. Also, I guess the pedigree in a way comes from his roots as well ( region you’re familiar with ;)) not wanting to discount his journey and what he has gone through.

[@sumaprincipal8479]

Mr.Kripal,thank you for your videos. Venkatesh Bhat's cooking videos are simply amazing.I have learnt so much.My biggest compliment came from my granddaughter who said that my paneer butter tasted better than the restaurant one.I try just about all the recipes.❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@taxoholicmusings]

A very special episode indeed. Thank you very much Kripal for this video with MasterChef Venkatesh Bhat! I have been longing to visit The Accord Metropolitan and Royal Indianaa restaurant. I visited Chennai many times for work but couldn't make it. I hope to visit this place next time and savour those special culinary delights from MasterChef Venkatesh Bhat!

Hi Kripal , no doubt uhr the best n best show but venkatesh with the passion for cooking represents Tamil Nadu and everything in there is Tamil and Tamil culture. Hope he brings in more dishes from canara, karwar, north Karnataka, karntaki daccani, Davangere . Kripal u being in blore haven't heard dishes from Karnataka which have not been represented like udaka, uddu gojju, banana jamun, chakkoli and more. Here I am not doing regionalism but want to represent our state.
