Vidyarthi Bhavan has a rating of 4.2 out of 5 based on over 55021 reviews on Google

I had their super masala dosa it was delicious, crispy and lived up to its reputation. This place is a classic old-style restaurant with a simple yet charming atmosphere that takes you back in time. It can get a bit crowded, but the taste makes it worth the wait. If you love authentic South Indian breakfast, this iconic spot is definitely a must-try!

It's one of the legendary hotels and mainly famous for masala dose. And the waiters also are in urgent for customers. One time must try if you're a foodie. The dose was fully crispy and it was the main tasty for that and the chutney was nice and nothing special in taste medium flavour and finally must try for once and little hype and crowded. Overall 4 out of 5.

Finding a seat is a hunch, You need to wait any time you go, we wait 10 min as we visited in Morning weekdays. The staff is good but they take 2 times and the serving time is a lot, Keep some petition for it. Food quality is good but not so special, Because of its history people used to come and Insta reel is still famous

After so much hype finally managed to visit this legendary place with my friends Had Rava vada, chow chow bath, masala dosa. To be honest i prefer CTR hotel masala dosa from Malleswaram Chow chow bath, Rava vada was good. Unfortunately uddina vada was over To top it off we finished with filter coffee it was damn good. Would definitely visit again and recommend it If you are visiting on the weekend then be prepared to wait for your turn to get into the hotel Visited for the old school charm of Basavanagudi and was not disappointed Would recommend you to call early and make reservations

The place is extremely hyped and highly crowded. Getting a seat to have food is a task in itself. Staff is unbearably rude. Staff doesn't have patience and not even on far end the well behaviour, gentleness is seen in them. The service is very random. Food taste isn't as good as it's hype over everywhere. For the price it's mentioned the food ain't even decent to it. The customer is treated like an unwanted guest. Even though the menu has finger countable items , the service remains worst possible. I don't recommend such place neither for food nor for the service.

Vidyarthi Bhavan is undoubtedly a popular destination, often drawing large crowds, especially during peak hours, which is a testament to its iconic status and long-standing reputation. The dosas here are prepared in a distinct style, offering a unique taste that sets them apart from the more conventional varieties. While this signature flavor appeals to many, it may not align with everyone's palate. Given the high footfall, the service tends to be brisk and can feel a bit rushed. There's certainly room for improvement in this aspect, though it's understandable considering the volume of customers they handle daily. Overall, Vidyarthi Bhavan offers a nostalgic culinary experience worth trying, particularly for those interested in traditional dosas. Patience is key when visiting, especially during busy times.
