We all know about VV Puram and the street food we’ve all enjoyed at some point. Today, we shall take you through another such area you must not miss out on, in Bengaluru. Located near the busy Avenue Road, you will find metal, jewelry, and other miscellaneous goods being marketed by the day. If you happen to be here after sunset, you shall see the sidewalks come to life with street food vendors!
Back in the 80’s, Nagarthpet used to be the after-party area with youngsters stopping by for a hot, crunchy dose at 2 am. You could spot all kinds of people looking forward to curbing their late night hunger pangs. This was until a rule was established, asking pubs and nightclubs to be shut down by 1 am.
Today, you can still head for the carts where delicious doseys, steamy idlis, and refreshing badam milk are sold under the street lights. If you can brave through crowded streets, this is your paradise. Let’s check out some of the best outlets here in Nagarthpet.
Nagraj’s Cart
There is always a crowd around Nagraj’s Hand Cart outside the Neela Complex in which he serves soft idlis as well as plain, masala and onion dosas. His red podi dosa, when paired with the spicy coconut chutney can give you the best foodgasm ever. His trademark chutney is ground with green chilies, mint, and coriander and never fails to bring life to the dose. Another delicacy he has to offer is podi rice, which is wrapped in a donne. They also have their own magic dose, which is a special onion and podi dose pairing.
