About Bangalore
City overview
Bangalore, officially Bengaluru since 2014, is India’s highland tech capital, where colonial parks, Wodeyar palaces, startup districts, craft breweries, and old South Indian food streets sit at about 900 metres above sea level. MG Road and Cubbon Park make the central spine, Indiranagar and Koramangala carry the restaurant-and-startup night, and Basavanagudi and Malleshwaram preserve older Kannada neighborhood rhythms.
Food & drink
Bangalore food starts with masala dosa, idli, vada, filter coffee, bisi bele bath, ragi mudde, donne biryani, and late craft-beer snacks. MTR near Lalbagh, CTR in Malleshwaram, Vidyarthi Bhavan in Basavanagudi, and VV Puram Food Street give the city’s strongest local route.
