Exploring Bengaluru’s Love For The GOBI MANCHURIAN AT RAVI GOBI | Vegetarian Street Food

#gobimanchurian #ravigobi #banashankari
vegetarian, popular gobi manchurian, street food, auto, manchurian sauce, gobi, gobi dry, fried rice, cauliflower manchurian, cabbage manchurian, potato manchurian, baby corn manchurian, mushroom manchurian, banashankari, bangalore
Armed with the recipe for a crowd-pleasing manchurian sauce that he learnt from a chinese cook, 16 year-old Ravi set out with an auto 21 years ago to serve gobi manchurian in the South Bengaluru neighbourhood of Banashankari. Two decades on, Ravi Gobi seems to rule the heart of gobi manchurian lovers in the city, as evidenced by the number of customers who throng his vegetarian sidewalk eatery each evening. I caught up with Ravi and some of his happy patrons over an extended manchurian tasting session recently, where I savoured not only his popular cauliflower and cabbage versions, but also an equally appetising, babycorn, mushroom and potato variation too. Hope you enjoy this episode, stay safe and happy eating!
Each dish on the Ravi Gobi menu is prepared fresh to order, every plate served piping hot and therefore necessitating a wait of 10 to 15 minutes. The gobi or potato/ mushroom/ baby corn, fried fresh, dressed in a chilli-salt spice mix to make the dry version, or tossed in a savoury manchurian sauce that has the fresh zing of coriander, green chillies, ginger, garlic and onions.
Babycorn Fry & Manchurian - 9/10
Cauliflower Manchurian - 8.5/10
Overall food rating - 8/10
Full plate - Rs. 50 (usd 0.7)
Half plate - Rs. 35 (usd 0.5)

TIMINGS: 630pm to 1030pm
Note: Ravi makes the dishes fresh to order, so do factor in a bit of a wait.

Tried Gobi and Mushroom manchuri after watching your review. Food taste was very ordinary. We get more tastier and hygienic items better than this in and around Banashankari. Very dissappointed, would not recommend this place to others.

Ravi gobi was my pregnancy craving too.. Such a nice man he used send his people delivered to my place since he didn't want me to wait such long que..Thanks again

[@swetham7989]

Please don't eat Gobi or any Chinese dish in pregnancy as most of it contains aginamoto /MGM

[@redezhil1983]

Oh wow! That's really so nice of him.

[@redezhil1983]

@@swetham7989 sometimes during pregnancy you should satisfy your craving.🙂 We eat mostly nutritious food during preg but little bit of these craving satisfiers in between is also important to keep you happy. Happiness is also a big factor during pregnancy. The owner says there is no MSG in his prep. So i guess it's ok. Msg is used even in vaccines that goes straight into the baby's body, could we do anything about that? All those folic, iron and calcium tablets also come with loads of side effects and such harmful substances.

Absolutely love the group/community taste-testing. I loved seeing the reactions and expressions of your "tasters"; the whole range of emotions: enthusiam, reticence in offering opinions, agreement. To me this is more important than any type of food. During this pandemic this is what I so miss and it is what that makes us human.❤️

Helo Kripal, Enjoy watching your reviews they are quite tempting. I belong to a community that uses a Wheelchair for mobility. We find it very challenging to access the eateries as most of them are not inclusive. We miss out on the fringe benefits of dining outside. Could you kindly make a video on eateries that are wheelchair accessible. I know it would take a lot of research for you to do. But it could be of a great help for people of our community. Though I don't live in Bangalore, it could be very informative for my community living there. Also it could spread awareness for an inclusive society. Thanks Srini
