| Bangalore is the largest city in South India and third largest in the country. As the capital of South India during the times of the British Raj, and home to the Maharaja of Mysore until Indian independence, the city has a long history as an important strategic settlement in which people from all over India and internationally have come to live and work. As such, Bangalore is a diverse and vibrant city, more cosmopolitan than most in India and this is reflected in the range of superb Bangalore restaurants.

As a major commercial and industrial contributor to India's economy, business is booming in Bangalore and is concentrated on modern technologies. Regarded as the Silicon Valley of India, Bangalore's continued success as the fastest growing city in India is due to a modern, progressive attitude, where the past is celebrated and the future is secured through technology, education, and contemporary life and culture.
The rich cultural history of India is important in Bangalore and religious festivals such Dasara, celebrating the old Mysore Kingdom, and Deepavali, the renowed festival of Light are celebrated with fervor by all, irrespective of culture or faith. Thus, while visitors to Bangalore can expect to sample a diverse array of international cuisine, traditional and contemporary Indian dishes form very much a major part in any Bangalore dining experience.

Indian cuisine is famous the world over and there are good Indian restaurants in every city in every country in the world. No other type of cooking displays the subtle sophistication with which many spices and vegetables are combined to gastronomic effect.

India is a diverse country and the cuisine of India reflects this diversity with each region having their own particular specialities and cooking styles.

Located within the largest city in South India, Bangalore restaurants, which serve Indian cuisine, are influenced by all the South Indian regional styles, including Andhra, Chettinad, Hyderabadi, Tamil, Mangalorean, Kerala and the local region of Karnataka.

A range of pickles are usually a prominent feature as are dosa, poori, vada, bonda, idli, and bajji dishes.
Byrianis are very popular too, especially the Hyderabadi version and towards the coast, seafood, such as prawns, mackeral and mussels forms the basis for many dishes.
India is a vegetarians paradise and only around 30% of the Indian population eat meat on a regular basis. Vegetarian dishes are made from both Indian vegetables such as gourds and brinjals and also incorporate many typically English ones such as cauliflower, carrot and cabbage. A traditional Karnatak meal may consist of a range of dishes served on a well-rinsed Banana leaf and it is customary to eat with the fingers of the right hand.
While no visit to Bangalore would be complete without experiencing an authentic Indian meal, the city is a modern international metropolis, containing every conceivable café, restaurant and eatery.

What this Also means is a selection of Bangalore restaurants which display the kind of dining environment usually typical of European countries, Britain and America. Some of the Bangalore restaurants are English style bars, others with a continental bistro ambience. What is sure is that whatever your tastes there is the ideal Bangalore restaurant for you.
In Bangalore, dining is a social experience, an opportunity to spend some quality time with friends, family, or work colleagues.
