    Extremely disappointed. We used to come here years ago and got here with same excitement on Sunday morning. After 30 minutes of wait time to get a table and another 30 min for food it was a total waste of Sunday Morning. Burger (Pic) has nothing in it except bun and deep fried meat. No flavor no nothing. Liver toast was bitter and stale taste. Water and tea never came to table. Mushroom toast is bad with no flavor at all. My daughter who loves mushrooms did not even eat beyond 1 spoon. When tried to escalate disappointment to manager or billing guys they are least bothered and acted as, if you don't like then pay the bill and leave. Don't recommend this place to anyone specifically tourist as it gives bad remark to our Bangalore City

    It’s highly appreciated that they’re one of those authentic place to have that English breakfast with orange juice! But speaking of the cutlery and glasses! I don’t think you have to have the same old stuff to show that you’re authentic! It’s high time that you replace every single cutlery and give the space a good deep clean and then resume with the same menu! The only thing that should be retained is their sugar tin and menu! So I recommend the authorities to kindly consider our suggestion 🙏🏽

    Koshy’s is just overrated. Everyone is Bangalore was hyping about it and I decided to visit Koshy’s for my Birthday breakfast. We had a terrible experience! I love English breakfast and I thought they would serve an authentic English breakfast. Everything in the menu was pricey. We asked for a full English Breakfast, the person who took the order explained the things that come in the platter but did not tell the cost. The breakfast was heavy, but the taste was OK. Tea wasn’t served and it’s wasn’t baked potatoes but French fries for some reason. They charged us ₹500 for one breakfast platter. They charged ₹60 for a water bottle. This place was such a disappointment!

    Visited the place with my friends. Reached the place at around 2pm. The place was decently crowded. It has the authentic look and feel, like walking into an Indian Coffee House, what the place is famous for and basically the character of the place. The mutton cutlet here is famous and hence we ordered a plate. We also ordered the vegetable cutlet, butter toast, lassi, mushroom omelette, special coffee and a tea. The fact that you pay 625 rupees for two cutlets was totally unacceptable after tasting it. Its big, but a very average cutlet, served with some veggies. Totally disappointed. The vegetable cutlets were decent enough and probably the best thing we ordered. The butter toast was also good and hence the 2 stars. Everything else was very poor. The lassi was below average, the fries did not have any seasoning and not well fried as well. The place is just about the old setup inside and everything else is below average, the food, the service. Definitely a let down.

    ‼️This place ain’t for the 90’s or the Gen-X crowd so save your time & money ‼️ Legacy, GONE for a TOSS! Ridiculously OVERPRICED for everything they offer in the menu. Food quality SUCKS big time. Fish n chips? Oh Lord, the worst I’ve had in my life.‼️There was no salt in it, the taste was absolutely awful (highly doubt they even used Basa in the first place) it was so crispy and hard to chew with one piece of dry carrot, cucumber, tomato & beetroot. Well, grow up and dip them in vinegar for a better taste and serve it!? Ambience is pathetically poor with basic table and chair. The environment is loud n noisy. No parking space, no smoking zone. The Menu is certainly a HORROR it’s over priced than Smoke house deli I guess lol. It is sad that despite being 70yrs old they are still stuck in that era and not improving the utensils or the overall quality. **Just surviving** There are far better English/continental breakfast places out there DONT COME HERE & MAKE A FOOL OUT OF YOURSELF 😭 Surprisingly, there is MANDATORY TIP of ₹50, adding insult to the injury. Apparently they “don’t charge any service fee” so adjust maadi. 😏 Totally wasted ₹1250 bucks here!

    3 star of atmosphere is only because of the nostalgic vibe. Heard a lot about this place so we wanted to visit. May be what we ordered weren't the right items but who gives cold bread with a filling straight out of the fridge!!!!! Ham sandwich is raw bread with single ham in it. Same with all and at that much high price. After our Sandwich experience we did not try anything as our bill crossed 800 for THAT QUALITY SANDWICH.

    Right on the main road on Lavelle Road. It’s one of Bangalore’s oldest and rarest cafe which also sells beer a very rare combination. Just be careful of timings as k. Google it shows open from 11. But from 11-3 both non ac and ac options are open. But from 3-7 the ac section and lunch items are closed. Overall food is very nice but service sucks . The waiters are pretty old and hence they don’t care much so don’t expect a very good service. Price is also very reasonable overall a place you should try

  • 1/5 Tarun Paul K. 2 months ago on Google • 97 reviews New
    Just horrible. Very horrible. I visited this place because early in the morning there was no place open in that area to have breakfast. There was a waiting line; the waiting area is good, but only six people can sit. The rest can stand, but there are no fans or ventilation. When our turn came, we entered the chaotic restaurant - Koshy's, with staff running around here and there. But not everyone can take your order; a designated person will only take your order. The rest of the staff will just ignore you to your face if you try to tell them that you want to order. The washroom is nice and clean. No problem with that. But the food, horrible. So overly priced only for a very cheap and mediocre taste? A Chicken Sandwich for ₹200 only to eat a small piece of bread with cold chicken on it, that was stinking, probably not even cooked properly. The mushroom in the omelette also tasted very stale. Everything was so bad. They are charging only to sell their 90s vibe of an old era or something. With old chairs, tables, interiors, and pictures on the wall. Everything else is horrible. My Sunday started so badly because of the horrible experience.

  • 3/5 Behera A. 2 years ago on Google
    Went in for a morning breakfast. The food is good but just not for me. The sausages were too peppery, the omlet had a lot of raw tomatoes. The pineapple juice felt a bit bad. The best this for me was the toast and butter. Really delicious bread. I would recommend the place for a calm breakfast. I probably chose the wrong dishes.

    Koshy’s, St. Marks Road If you are looking for a perfect authentic breakfast of old times with classic vintage vibes then don’t ever miss this iconic place. It’s so calming, soothing absolutely simple, classy & British ambiance!! The menu is also simple with only top dishes. I love each & everything here & I have had a lot of times!! But my personal favourite is their veg cutlet & in house bread toast paired with soft eggs!! Appam & stew, hot chocolate ☕️ are a vibe. A table at the window, a good book, my favourite breakfast at this place is all I want for a great day!! Whenever I get bored of this modern city life with bling & glamour this is my go to place! It’s there since more than 50-60 yrs who continue to keep up the same charm & taste. Love the old black & white pictures of Namma Bengaluru. If my mom accompanies me here sometimes she has lot of stories to tell seeing those pictures. It’s a great place to explore if u really want to experience true Namma Bengaluru vibes before it turned into a tech city!!

    Loved the vibe and the old charm of the place. Tried Cheese and tomato on toast, their famous fish biryani, chicken liver on Toast, Caramel custard and fruit cake. The cheese and tomato on toast is the show stealer, please try that if you are visiting. Also the fish biryani deserves a mention.

    In my opinion it's overrated. Very very expensive and quality standards not met. Bangalore has many other cafes serving tasty and sumptuous food other than this place.

    Very nostalgic feeling after visiting koshys after a long time(like 20 years). The place was calm even though placed at a busy location the lunch was very relaxed. Food was amazing. The grape juice after walking in the hot sun 🌞 was really good. The ambience of the place is a reminder of old Bangalore vibes in terms of decor. The paintings of schools and other nearby landmarks studded on the walls are a highlight.

    Visited this place for the hype it has and it was able to justify. The waiters and all they were properly dressed like the butlers. The service was good. The place was full. It has the nostalgic vibes. Must visit place atleast once Tried beans toast which was amazing. The cheese omelette was good but the mushroom was okayish. The sandwiches were bad. Not worth trying if you are a fan of English breakfast. The ice cream coffee was okay. The place was clean though and had a pretty clean washroom as well

  • 3/5 The Indian G. 1 year ago on Google
    Breakfast menu looks good. Toast items are all too dry. Service is very slow. Difficult to get even a glass of water. Waiters just want tips. Go for lunch or dinner. Koshy's has it's rustic appeal. The lunch/breakfast food is very nice. Pork is well made. Breakfast at Koshy's is hyped only because they serve beer along with the food but all the sandwiches are so very dry, the need for beer makes sense. It gives you very Indian Coffee House vibes but like all old established eatries Koshy's too needs to better the quality of their services and breakfast food.

    Imagine stepping into a breakfast place that feels like a time machine to old Bengaluru – that's the magic I found in this cozy spot. The atmosphere instantly took me back to a different era, making it more than just a meal; it was a journey through time, and I loved every moment. Now, let's talk about the food. We tried the Bombay toast, mutton keema omelette, and mushroom omelette – all fantastic. The Bombay toast had a perfect crunch, the mutton keema omelette was flavorful and hearty, and the mushroom omelette was a tasty surprise. What made everything even better was the super fluffy bread they used. It was like a cloud on my plate, soaking up all the deliciousness. I'm already planning my next visit to try more dishes because this place won my heart. And guess what? Sundays are extra special – they serve Appam with mutton curry. I can't wait to be back for that! Not only was the food amazing, but the people there were so friendly. The waitstaff was welcoming and made the whole experience even better. It's not just a breakfast place; it's a place where the vibe, the food, and the people come together to create a memorable time. If you're into breakfast spots that make you feel like you've stepped back in time, this one is a must-visit. I'm already excited about my next trip back to savor the flavors and good vibes all over again.

    This place is around 70 years old, and probably since then they forgot to clean it. It has heritage, spider webs, a filthy kitchen and no provision for parking. Coming to the food menu, it is a HORROR. The service almost does not exist and the staff do not seem to have much clue of what waiting might actually be like. The prices are nowhere worth the experience and food. Best to ignore this place like you should a 70 year old abandoned house.

  • 5/5 indrajit a. 1 year ago on Google
    In terms of the taste of food, it is still a lovely place to be at, however I felt sad to hear that their Chinese items / foods are not getting served anymore. The Menu book has about 50 - 60% filled with Chinese dishes... I felt sad because I had tasted them many a times before and it used to be delicious... hence missing so many dishes... Now in terms of service I felt their services have dipped a lot these days. It's like the customer has to ask for water and sometimes the customer has to remind them of a dish they missed to serve... and this has become a common sight. Unfortunately the service team seems not so positive in running such a historical restaurant... I seriously miss the old days of Koshy's with Glitter and Glamor.... Anyways all my best wishes to them...

  • 5/5 Milu M D. 3 months ago on Google • 23 reviews New
    This place looks very old but kept neat and good service they provide. Butter chicken and butter roti remains in our taste buds even now!! Pork dish we had was not good and the mixed fried rice was as normal as we make it in our home can be rated 3.5. For 2 people it costs around 2000 which is costly I would say. The lime soda is a specialty here it is soo good, that it reminded me of a bhai who used to sell lemon sodas in a shack near to our place of stay. I have never ever tasted lemon sodas as good as the ones he made during those days. Best place to spend a family or friends get together, dine in for dinner or lunch.

  • 4/5 Varna P. 3 years ago on Google
    Being an iconic place in Bangalore, I had a lot of expectations from the place. I came here for breakfast on a Sunday morning and it was pretty crowded. After we finally got a seat, nobody even bothered to give us the menu. We kept calling the waiter but after half an hour we finally got the menu. The staff is extremely uncooperative and rude. The food was definitely not upto the mark. I had a dissatisfied and disappointing experience here. When your customers come in early on a Sunday morning for breakfast, you attend to them with a smile and make sure they have a good time. I left the place on a really sad note and hungry. Definitely not coming back here. The only positive thing is that the food is served fast which does make up for all the waiting.

    I have been going here for 42 years. Service is still exceptional and impeccable. They still serve Fish & Chips. And it is perhaps the only place in Bangalore that still serves freshly baked bread with Fish & Chips. Had a lovely lunch with beer.

    Good experience and very good food. They do not have an all time menu. They take out menu according to the time of the day. Their snacks menu is not that adequate as their dinner or lunch menu. Good place to chill along with your food and a few beers. Their Indian and Chinese food is as good as their continental food. The place is nothing over the top but the experience is. The Mutton and Appam Stew available from 9-11AM on Sundays is a delight to have.

  • 4/5 NIKHIL J. 2 years ago on Google
    You become present in the history. One thing that I have observed is that, people know about Koshy's, but not many have entered into this place. Koshy's has also been part of Bangalore's history and yet it sits quietly on the side of the road, depicting how far it has come till now. If you have the time, google search about Koshy's before coming, read about the history and the best sellers. As soon as you enter, there are two sections, one on your right is the A.C. Hall and on your left is the Non-A.C. Hall., I would suggest that you take the later to slowly immerse yourself, to feel a little bit of the history (the ones near the windows preferably). Once seated, you'll see the mixed crowd. Let me explain it to you about the "Mixed crowd", one is the curios types (like me) - who wanted to experience this by themselves, to find out what Koshy's is all about and the second being the old crowd - who have been religiously coming here for ages. You just feel this rustic air that transports you back into history. The food does not take much time to reach your table ( I had read a lot of reviews that said that the service is super late, but for me, I did not face this), the rates are moderately priced. Ambience is okay, it is not well lit, mostly depends on the natural light during day time. The service, the presentation, the servers, all give a very "Indian Coffee House" feels. We ordered Mutton omelette, cold bournvita, cold coffee, nadan chicken curry and wheat parotta. Except for the drinks, the food was heavenly. The Mutton omelette was soft and heavy, it is cooked minced mutton with a blanket of soft omelette. This omelette comes with two fat-toasted bread ( I read it somewhere that they make their own breads - fancy!). The bournvita and cold coffee were just fine, a little diluted, but fine. The nadan chicken curry is what the server had suggested and it went well along with the wheat parotta. The nadan chicken curry is basically a Kerala dish, where the chicken is cooked with coconut milk and spices. The aroma that it brings to the table would start a tsunami in your mouth, this dish was delightful. The wheat parotta is a little bit on the stiffer side when compared to the maida parotta which is a bit elasticky, but this went well with the chicken curry. I'm going here again for sure, there are a lot of dishes that you might have never even heard of, I want to try those out. I would like to give the P.s. Try having a conversation with your server, ask him for his suggestions and recommendations, some have been here for more than 20 years. Also, it would be a double plus point if you can talk to them in Malayalam.

    This is a review to their breakfast options: They have good quality food, but overpriced and definitely overrated. Quite a few options to order from. Their lunch menu is where all of their main dishes shine! Personally, I would never go there for breakfast again, and I would not recommend either. But if you still do, go for their bacon options. Their omelettes are also too small for the price, and honestly that's all I have against them.. The environment is alright, I guess. We're never going back there anyway :)

    Has the same old world charm from 1999 to 2004 when I used to frequent the restaurant while working around st. Marks road and church street. The photos on the walls are a throwback to the decades-old restaurant that has survived the test of time. The food is still quite refreshing and continues the British/European cuisine. They have a AC and a non AC segment catering to different types of audiences. The steaks and fish and chips are excellent. Worth a visit.

    Koshy's parade cafe is nothing but a nostalgic cafe. Come here if you would like to revisit your good old times at Bangalore. The food is totally different when compared with other cafes. The bread is made here. The sandwiches, omlet etc are just simple with no extra frills. The only negative, I would say is the waiting period for food. You have got to wait sometime to be served the dish you had ordered. It took us a solid hour to complete our dining.

    Koshy's Bar & Restaurant located at 39 St Marks Road, Bangalore, has a rich history as a landmark restaurant, having served many customers, including Queen Elizabeth II herself. Unfortunately, my recent visit revealed that the quality of food has declined, and the waiters lacked enthusiasm. Despite this, there are still some dishes that are worth trying, such as the Roast Chicken, Prawn Biryani, Fish ‘n’ Chips, Appam Stew, Breakfast Chicken Liver on Toast, and Omelettes with mushroom, mutton, bacon stuffed to Spanish. The Koshy’s old Special Coffee is also a must-try. However, the Chinese dishes are not great, and the quality of the food can be better overall. During my last visit, the food was just terrible, with no salt added. I had to add salt myself, which was quite a disappointment for all of what we ordered. The restaurant is well-known but now misses the prime. However, Koshy's Bar & Restaurant still holds a special place in the hearts of many Bangaloreans who have fond memories of dining there. Overall, while the history and nostalgia associated with Koshy's Bar & Restaurant are impressive, the current quality of food and service leaves much to be desired. If you're looking for a taste of Bangalore's past, it's worth a visit, but otherwise, there are better options available.

    It is an old classic in the heart of Bangalore. With a 90s vibe and music that that's you back. There is a separate space for the breakfast crowd and the lunch and dinner dining crowd. The food was good, and the presentation could have been better. We tried the chicken steak and pork ribs with clear chicken soup. Taste was lovely! Must visit for a classic experience and folks interested in an old-school vibe.

    This is old money vibe. Centrally located and not very crowded. Yes, the food is very expensive but tastes really good. For food Ordered the keema naan and bacon egg on toast. For beverage, tea and coffee was ordered. The staff are polite. Service was super fast. Didn't expect it to be so quick. All in all, it's a must visit once at least.

    Visited this legendary restaurant to grab lunch. Unfortunately reached there late and did not get the Lunch Menu. However, got the all day menu and it was delicious.

    Old timey vibe. We went there for breakfast. Get the butter toast with whatever you order. Big fat bread that’s toasted and slightly slathered with butter. It went well with the fried eggs I ordered. I don’t know if there’s anything that would take me back here though. My friend ordered the mutton cutlets and he said it could have had some more flavour.

    I love this place because I've been going here for far too long. There are times when the food is good and also when it's not. I can't be objective about this place. It's a place stuck in a different era. So depending on what you want it can be great or not. If you are in the city give it a shot.

  • 5/5 Amey J. 4 years ago on Google
    This restaurant was opened in the 1940s and it strives hard to retain the charms of the days gone by. The menu card has a substantial presence of Anglo Indian dishes. Their bacon isn't anything to recommend but their steaks are delectable. Their fish and chips are the best illustration of their Anglo Indian focus, the fish is fried in the Indian style. I like to be there on a, quiet Sunday afternoon.

    One of best places in Bangalore. It has great breakfast along with the old Bangalore charm with an amazing vibrant crowd. The servers are becoming more and more hospitable towards you and are now extremely very warm with mostly a smile on their faces. Love what here - Everything !! Fav's are chicken liver on toast, fried bacon, kaya toast, veg puff, cold coffee and the list is endless. Would ditch every other breakfast place in town for this one. Thanks to everything about the place.

    The food was amazing. We had kheema omelette and chicken liver on toast and they were phenomenal! The special coffee and lassi were average but the food more than made up for it. And the service was clinical and efficient. Oh and we got the food very quickly. All in all amazing!

    This is a very old traditional restaurant. Most customers seem to have been coming for years and some come every day. Split into two halves with the same food but one half more a fine-dining environment. I prefer the part where old guys sit and read books or newspapers at the table.

    The place brings back old good vibes of the Bangalore. Best place to enjoy your breakfast with your friends and get nostalgic about the good old days of your life. Love the bacon and french toast (my personal favourites) Kheema pav and mutton omelette are of also one of the good dishes.

    This is an amazing place love the ambience, the food is great a little overpriced but once in a while it's alright to go have a good time. However the quantity of dishes is less. The Quality however is great! They need to arrange parking for cars much required. Also they need to make a proper menu card they literally printed it on a piece of paper and give it to you.

  • 5/5 Pooja P. 3 years ago on Google
    The food is great.. the ambience is a little old times type... The Spanish Omellete is worth trying

  • 5/5 Dominic S. 3 years ago on Google
    Good place for pork and beef.. good ambience and employees r very polite and mannered. Little expensive but it's worth it. Its one of the most iconic places to eat so the price is justified.

  • 5/5 Sridhar V. 3 years ago on Google
    It was a bit sad that the boisterous crowd is not back at Koshy's. We had bagged beans on toast, the signature rush we like the most, grilled sandwich, cutlet, finger chips, and pot tea - yet another signature item we usually order. The waiter was very courteous and quick in serving. Cutlet appeared a bit burnt, but didn't taste burnt. Overall, a great experience of dining out at Koshy's.

  • 5/5 vijay r. 3 years ago on Google
    An iconic place in Bangalore famous since the British times. I usually go here for breakfast. Their bread is prepared in house n I'm a fan of their toast and cutlet.

  • 4/5 mohamed h. 3 years ago on Google
    Excellent place to have some very different breakfast. Tried the following items Chicken liver and toast - outstanding taste Kaya toast - smooth and right amount of sweetness Mutton cutlets - well cooked tender mutton. The service was not something that stood out. Seemed like the staff were very lethargic. ( That's why the 4 stars) Ambience was real, had the character of an eatery that has seen many generations. Must try place, if you are in the area.

  • 5/5 Nigel F. 2 years ago on Google
    Koshy's is one of those old world places, that have been around since before independence. Remants of the British raj, when things were done slightly differently. No music here, hushed tones. Waiters in spotless all-white uniforms and a genteel old world decor. All wood and brass, tall pillars, black and white photos on the wall. The food too is reminiscent of this time, ham sandwiches, roast chicken, roast mutton. A different breakfast and lunch menu and an excellent selection of beers and alcohol. The waiters are friendly and numerous, the service ultra quick. Just the sort the sort of place to come in for a quick lunch or an early leisurely dinner.

  • 4/5 Apurv C. 2 years ago on Google
    The place maintains the old world charm. The food quality was just ok (I only tried the Fish n chips and the caramel custard). Prices were higher than expected. Service was fast and prompt. Waiting to visit again for another dish..

  • 4/5 Amrita S. 2 years ago on Google
    A must visit retro style English restaurant in Bangalore. Bread butter , variety of omlettes ,tea ,coffe are served with usual pricing.

  • 4/5 Aniket A. 2 years ago on Google
    Heard so much about the place so planned to visit during my visit to Banglore. The interior of this place is so classy and I liked it very much. Actually, I wanted to try their appam and chicken stew which is very popular amongst the foodies but unfortunately, it is available only on Sundays. So, we have ordered French fries and chicken fried rice which was good in taste. Honestly, I found the prices on a little higher side but next time I will visit on any other Sunday.

  • 2/5 Nikitha N. 2 years ago on Google
    I liked the place where the ambience is amazing and you get the feel of late 70’s vibes.. ordered ice tea liked it.. fish chips- good… veg cutlet- good… omelet ok… over all need to improve in terms of menu.. the items are overpriced and very causal in service.. would love to see more items in the menu

  • 4/5 Deborah P. 2 years ago on Google
    I've heard loads about this place and it's pretty famous among folks who grew up in Bangalore as it has a British charm. But guess of late the quality is reduced. Food was good but super expensive. Can visit just for the feels of good old days. 😌

  • 3/5 Swastivikram J. 1 year ago on Google
    I read Vivek Shanbag's Ghachar Ghochar. One of the main characters in the book used to go to a rustic cafe everyday. It was a way of life for him. A part of routine. Something that brought normalcy, calm and respite from other things in life. The moment I entered the place, it seemed as though it's that cafe. Somehow this place has paused in time. Sitting at the corner table, near the window, looking outside the modern Bangalore with Maybachs, Porches in the view, this cafe seemed very quaint. Juxtaposition of old Bangalore inside the cafe and the new city outside. The meal is pretty average, oh but the view and the personality of this place warrants going there atleast once if not again and again. Personality: 3.5/5 Food: 2.5/5

  • 3/5 Caleb J. 1 year ago on Google
    Service is excellent. Taste is okay. Not much quantity. Vintage vibes, table capacity could be better for 4 people. Other little things like restaurant infrastructure are just decent, very less lighting, well maintained, and it looks more like old things are being preserved instead of being renovated. If you are the type of person who would appreciate legacy stuff then you might like this place. From my experience this was slightly on the expensive side.

  • 5/5 Sneha P. 10 months ago on Google
    Good service! Nostalgic place! Great experience. I simply love their rum and ice tea along with their sides like peanut masala and some home made fries. I also love their caramel custard.

  • 5/5 Ripple E. 1 year ago on Google
    Koshys was the first Indian owned bar in Bengaluru. I love history, and beer. So I headed here as soon as I was done with work during a business visit to the city. Gave me a big nostalgic vibe of Kolkata, and the old school pubs from the British era that can still be found there. Koshy's have maintained the place well, although more can obviously be done to spruce it up. Especially, the lighting. It felt a bit dark, and therefore slightly depressing. It seemed like they have their own clientele who drop in often. The menu is a treasure trove of Anglo Indian dishes, mixed with quintessentially British items with the occasional South Indian twist. There's a sizeable Chinese and a North Indian (primarily briyani & kebab) sections as well. The service is slightly slow. Prices are standard.

  • 3/5 Varun R. 9 months ago on Google
    This place is very old and still keeps same old vibe and you will see lot of old chaps chit chatting here. However this is a place where you can spent time with you're loved ones. Since this very old place and waiters are bit old generation and you can expect delay in service. Have visited koshy's earlier that time I had tea, mutton sandwich and omlette it was good however this time chicken sandwich was not hot. They serve beer too

  • 5/5 Shubham P. 8 months ago on Google
    Best old school cafe that reminds you of old times.. The place will be generally crowded, so try coming here early hrs.. waiting will be around 15-30mins.. Lots of varieties to try here, must try Appam with Mutton stew on Sundays.. also different toasts to try from their kind of homemade bread.. really good place to enjoy your morning breakfast.. Little bit on costly side but worth it for the food and service..

  • 5/5 Venkatesha P. 8 months ago on Google
    An old world colonial cafe, extremely popular eatery in Bangalore since many decades. Quite an iconic place. They have many signature dishes which are quite popular. Many options available for vegetarians as well. We had mushroom on toast, baked beans on toast, veg cutlet and their famous cold coffee.

  • 3/5 Arnab P. 5 months ago on Google
    This is OK for a one-time visit, for the ambience, occasional catch-up, and nostalgia. So-so food, good service if lucky, and somewhat expensive prices considering quality. We ordered the chicken sandwich, chicken puff, fruit cake, naan, soup, curry and coffee. Almost Rs 1200. Pretty pedestrian stuff, but the atmosphere has charm.

  • 5/5 Dhananjaya L. 5 months ago on Google
    Nostalgia for me!! Used to go a lot in the early nineties and now I could manage to go after decades !! Awesome ambience , service was good as there was no one in the AC section. Food is good!

  • 1/5 Tanveer A. 5 months ago on Google
    Overpriced, pathetic food, accompanied with awful service. The only thing Koshy's has is legacy, and this comes from a time when no other place in Bangalore offered English/Continental breakfast. In today's day and age it's clear that the food is awful and nowhere near what actual English/Continental breakfast is. Sandwiches are cold pieces of buttered white bread with the edges cut off, with a thin cold layer of meat. The mutton cutlet is ridiculously overpriced. The Spanish Omelettes are also cold and soggy.

    Ordered club sandwich, chocolate mousse, and their signature coffee. Club sandwich was served after a huge delay, it was not even warm, it was cold. When we asked the waiter he justified that club sandwich is made this way, they cool the meat and veggies inside before serving. Worst place to dine. Never coming back ever!
