Koshy’s of Bangalore is recognized as an
“establishment of Bangalore”, a very popular
restaurant and hangout on St Mark’s
road. It is owned by the Polachirackal
family in Bangalore originally from Mavelikkara.
Koshy’s is a meeting point for journalists, artists,
theatre persons, students and foreigners. Founded in
1940, it retains an old-world charm with huge pillars
and large fans.
The main building has Parade Café, which is
simply referred as Koshy’s, the Jewel Box restaurant
and a bakery. They have two sections. The left part
of the restaurant is non AC and the right part is for
fine dining and drinks. The ambience is excellent
and gives you a feel of Kerala architecture. Sunday
breakfasts have always been reserved for the quintessentially
classic Kerala staple. It houses even one
of the oldest bars in the city and is actually a landmark
in Bangalore. What Leopold’s is to Mumbai,
Koshy’s is to Bangalore.
Our verdict: Koshy’s is a place for you to go in case
you want to be in an old times café wanting to chill
and have some good meal on the side.
Must try: Sunday breakfasts.
Location: St Mark’s Road, Bangalore.
