Veena Stores

It was a nice experience but not best as I have eaten better south Indian breakfast in other places. The atmosphere was cozy. I loved the road and the total area. Service is user friendly and less chaos. Crowd management is great. Recommended to visit atleast for experience. But yes, food was not so good for me. It was okay.

I recently visited Veena Stores and had a fantastic experience. The taste of the food was absolutely amazing , authentic, flavorful, and freshly prepared. What stood out even more was their modern touch: they have an automatic order machine, making the whole process smooth and efficient. With a wide variety of food options to choose from, it’s a perfect blend of tradition and technology. Highly recommended for anyone looking for great South Indian food with a hassle-free experience!

Amazing place to try out authentic Kannadiga breakfast cuisine. The food is simple yet very flavourful and elegant. The shop begins at 6:30am every morning and shutters down by 8;30am, except on Sundays where they're operational till 11:30am. Even at the break of dawn you'll find a loyal stream of hungry customers manoeuvering through the counters to order their favourite food. The service is prompt - you get your coupons and soon as you place your order your food is ready. There are buckets of chutney from which you can serve yourself. Do note, there's barely any place to sit. The food is heavenly. I highly recommend the idli - personally I've never had such soft idlis yet. Bisi Bele Bhath is the right amount of masala and the fried boondis balance out the spice. Puliogre (tamarind rice) is tangy and cooked to perfection. Chow chow bhath is basically upma and kesari/sheera, one serving each - very filling. Only the filter coffee I found a bit disappointing. But overall it's a must must must if you're ever in Malleshwaram.

Situated at Malleshwaram, Bangalore, this cafe being one of the oldest breakfast corners in the city serves lips smacking south Indian dishes like Idle, medu vada etc. I have tasted idli with Medu Vada with the unique pudina and coconut chutney which make it an awesome combination. The idli to me was the softest one I have tried. The chutney was also uniquely nice. The lead time of serving is too less in spite of the heavy crowd all the time. Also, I had the filter coffee here which is also very good. All the prices are reasonable. They have a small room for sitting inside which accommodates roughly 10 to 12 people at a time, mostly people love to have them outside the cafe only.

Finally made it to Veena Stores in Malleshwaram—and now I get the hype. Super soft idlis, piping hot vadas, and that chutney? Unreal. No sambar needed, honestly. I also tried the chow chow bath and it hit the spot—perfect mix of sweet and spicy. It’s more of a stand-and-eat place, no seating, but the food is totally worth it. Simple, quick, and full of flavor. If you're in the area, definitely drop by. Just make sure to go early—around 6 AM—if you want to beat the crowd. It gets packed real quick!

If you're in Malleshwaram , make sure to stop by Veena Stores. I can't recommend their idli, kesari bath, and vada enough – they are truly awesome. The idlis are soft, the kesari bath perfectly sweet, and the vadas are crisp perfection. A fantastic spot that you absolutely must try

We had vada and idly for breakfast—an absolute delight! The vada was perfectly crispy, while the idly was soft and fluffy. The chutney, infused with fresh curry leaves (karvepak), added an aromatic touch that elevated the entire meal. A must-try experience for anyone who appreciates authentic South Indian flavors.
