The mood inside the joint
If you are expecting the perfect ambiance for your Sunday afternoon meal, Kollapuri’s may not be the right place for you. Although maintained neatly, the building in which Kollapuri’s is located in way too small and hardly accommodates 30 people at a time. Hence, it is mandatory that you will have to wait at least for a few minutes before you get a seat in the restaurant. The kitchen is visible from inside the seating area and the happenings inside will be your dose of entertainment before your order arrives.
The service is quick and prompt and unlimited raithas and rasam are always on offer here. The owner of the restaurant is a good man and is always willing to explain to you about the specialty of Saoji Cuisine.
Specialty
Tasty food at a pocket-friendly price. Hotels that fulfill both these criteria are hard to find in Bengaluru. However, if you are willing to take a ride to Basavanagudi, Kollapuri’s will offer you lip-smacking food at astonishingly low prices. Coupled with the unique taste of the food items, Kollapuri’s already has a number of reasons to make you visit the joint at the earliest.
However, Chicken Biryani and Chilly Chicken combination is the one that will win your hand at this restaurant. The flavor of the Biryani is distinct and the aroma of the dish will remain in your palms long after you leave the restaurant. Staying true to the Saoji Cuisine, Chilly Chicken is extremely spicy and will make you enjoy the glass of extraordinary rasam which is served at the end of your meals.
