Uber/Tuk Tuk: The traffic jam is a pain in the ass so taking an Uber or a Tuk Tuk is only a good idea if you basically really need to.

Underground; it’s cheap and fast. You’ll have to buy a card worth 50INR, refundable when you bring it back to any counter.

Cubbon Park

Best local food in Bengalore

The Rameshwaram cafe @ Indiranagar - Between street food and a local little restaurant, this place is the best for all day meals. I highly recommend the mini Vada Sambar dip, the Ghee Pudi Idli, the Ghee plain dosa as well as the Gongura rice. If you like your Masala tea sweet then definitely add it to the order.

I have spent my time there guys so I’m sorry that I cannot recommend you another good spot. By the way, they have three of them all around the city.

Bob’s bar - For local brewery and tasty snacks

If you want some western food

Sly Granny - Located on a rooftop (although not much of a view) you will get some reasonable food. I would recommend the goat’s cheese and grilled fig bits as well as the quinoa salad. I have not tried the cocktails but it seemed like they know what they are doing.

Temple of senses - If you are craving a smoothie bowl.

Blue Tokai coffee - For good coffee and Kombucha + they have a trendy little clothes shop
