Nearly 100 Years, UDUPI SRI KRISHNA BHAVAN Is Bengaluru’s Best Kept Secret! Sagu Dosae, Best Sambar

Although established at its present location in 1926, its culinary provenance dates back to the early 1900s. One of Bengaluru’s oldest eateries, Udupi Sri Krishna Bhavan has not received the kind of recognition other eateries of its ilk have perhaps due to its location amidst the hustle and bustle of Balepete. The food here is prepared the old-fashioned way, not the sort that swims in rivers of ghee or is buried under mounds of butter, khoa, or other such dairy decadence. Which is good, especially if you want to indulge, sans any guilt, in its tasty South Canara fare, like many of its regular patrons, some who have been visiting for 50 years! I soak in some charming old-world vibe as I make a tasty meal of some of their must-try dishes including a scrumptious, very popular sagu dosae and perhaps the most impressionable sambar you will find in this city. A sambar that we also watched the making of.
Hope you enjoy this episode; take care, stay safe and strong. Happy eating!

I am from Agra, UP. USKB was my go to place for about 15 years until I started putting up at Seshadripuram for my bimonthly Bengaluru visits. The place closes at 7 in the evening. So I used to wind up my business by 5 or 5:30 so that I could finish my dinner before the closing time. I would rate this place at par with Vidyarthi Bhavan. Also the fare is certainly better than Janardhan Hotel. It might sound a little hyperbolic but visits to USKB are one of the most cherished episodes of my life.

[@rajnagpal2000]

Udupi Sri Krishna Bhavan is one of the oldest & most favourite restaurant of Bangaloreans. I'm the 3rd generation customer after my Grandfather & Father. Each& every item is delicious, there is this dish Rava Bisibele Bath which is a Sunday Special. My friend Subu all the best for continuing this legacy & thank you Mr Kripal for covering USKB.

[@giridharkoppikar]

Loved the way when Kripal sir persisted by telling Dosei even when Owner was telling Dosa ..... Respect sir 😀

[@nkulkarni1]

People like Subramanya Holla... is the reason that these old generations of hotels are running... they are customer centric and uphold the old traditional taste...Kudos to you Holla Sir for keeping it alive

[@Akarsh1104]

This the place where my great grandpa took my grandpa and grandpa took my dad and my dad took my brother. Few places fill the stomach and very few places fill the soul. Good work Kripal sir.

There is one Udupi Srikrishna Bhavan in Hampankatta, Mangalore. When you enter it feels like your are revisiting 19th century. Such divine feeling. If I remember it correctly, we have to leave our sandals outside and enter. A perfect ಬಾಳೆಎಲೆ ಊಟ if you are visiting Mangalore

[@vasudevanelumalai9362]

I was visited regularly to USKB in later 70s when i was stayed at Bangaluru upto 1980. And after that visted there yearly once to the eatery often. They remain the same taste and ambience. Wish them a centenary celebration

[@raghunandansrinivasan773]

Vivid memories that bring back the ambience of UKB, the aroma and experience that we had in the 70s and 80s! Poori Saagu was my favourite. Thanks Kripalji.

[@manjunathdhange7974]

Mr kripal I like the owner Mr Holla expressing himself his pride in his work, I like the catch phrase " fire in the belly" when you asked them the question what keeps the people of kumta a small village in South canara so successful in hotel business, this is what is missing in today's generation.

[@harshajila1984]

Just a correction, its Kota :) Kumta is in North Canara or Uttara Kannada....no offense intended, cheers!

Nothing can beat the spicy and tangy sambar of USKB. My family has been eating here since 25 yrs. The taste of sambar is still the same. I've been looking for the sambar recipe for years over the internet but without luck. You had them share the recipe effortlessly. If I were the owner I would not have shared it even for a million dollars. Hats off to you.

[@Sumukhee12]

I've been here with my father and he used to go there with his father ! I'm sure I'll take my daughter very soon! Thank you for reminding me of this legendary place 😊

Yummy ..awesome.. traditional decor

[@askaranth]

Very well done- the description stating ingredients and the specials used are exemplary - Our relative Subramanya has conducted the tour so well that he too seems to be a good cook, apart from having managerial skills along with his wife to sustain the same standards after his father, as we remember this place; best way to reach is now by Metro & alight at Chikpet ! Best wishes to Subba family !

Hi kripal sir, very glad to see your classical video of ancient Udupi Sri Krishna bhavan balepet. To relish the sambhar here at uskb you should come at 8am in the morning believe me sambhar tastes at another level here in the morning. I relish with 2 cups of extra sambhar with two idlis. Not to Miss masala dosa and sagu masala. All credits to Mr. Subramanya for keeping up the legacy and tradition with great dedication.

I have lot of childhood memories of Kota Village which was my aunts home . Many hotels like Taaja Thindi /Pakashala /Adigas/Maiyas / Dose Camp Jayanagar/ Halli Mane all come same village people. I had a chance to meet many of these owners as some were classmates of my uncle . They are amazing entrepreneurs and know their job well . Great cooks themselves and open to learn always. Adopt new technology . Mantap Ice cream Sadashivnagar is also from same place. Shivaram Karanth a great poet and Yakshagana Teacher is from Kota village. Saagu Dosa was good with Adigas but now since brand is sold and available from Paakashala (same Vasudev adiga).

Oh, finally Kripala hits the road to my favorite Dosa hotel. Sagu dosa is still best at USKB and I remember my dad is to take me there every Thursday ( after visiting Ragavendra temple on ChickPet main road) religiously when I was a kid. And there were other hotels here on the same street like Malabar lodge and Subramanya Lodge ( famous for Mentya Dosa) when Majestic was the hub of all Bangalore's activities in the 80s and 90s probably.
