Lakshmi Natraja Refreshments is the place where I love to vist often when I'm there in Chikpet for shopping. Place is really small & very limited seats to occupy.
Lakshmi Natraja Refreshments serves authentic South Indian dishes like South Indian Breakfast, Lunch & South Indian Tiffin Dishes.
I highly recommend here to have Idli, Pudi Masala Dosa & Onion Utthapa if you are there for Breakfast & Dinner.
Management have recently introduced Kerala Parotta. 2 pieces of Parotta served with Chana Masala & Coconut Chutney.
Lakshmi Natraja Refreshments is also known for their South Indian Meals which they serve only for lunch hours. I have never tried their Meals, planning to taste those too.
Overall
When you are around Chikpet & Market area for shopping, if you are in search of good food, Lakshmi Natraja Refreshments is the best option to choose.
A hidden gem for dosas in Majestic area. One needs gmaps to find this place. Walking is the best option.They are known for their podi dosas. The place is clean and we enjoyed the dosa as well. Must visit if you are in and around Majestic
They have the best idly in town. Idly are soft as cotton and crispy dosa. They have a variety of other things which are good i.e podi idly, podi dosa, chitranna (lemon rice)

Sri Lakshmi Nataraja Refreshment, Nagrathpet
Many of the age old eateries who were highly recommended by many turned out not so impressive to me. So when I heard good reviews and hype about this place, Sri Lakshmi Nataraja Refreshments on the busiest Nagrathpet road, I went without any expectation. It lies in a passage on Nagrathpet main road (It was once a main road may be, now it's even hard to find space to walk).
Ordered Pudi Masala Dosa and Jamoon. While dosa getting prepared I saw some happy faces of people eating dosa which got slight relief for me, so I was sure it won't be disaster but made my mind to have opinion of my one do controlled my excitement. Finally Pudi Masale arrived, the aroma of ghee on that dosa made me even more excited. There is rule which we use in film writing, of we get too excited just before having something or meeting someone then it will be failure or heart breaking scene! 😀 I wished it won't happen this time and trust me, this is one of the most amazing Pudi Masala Dosa which I have tried. Dosa is thin and crisp, it had perfect color and texture too. What elevated the taste of the dosa is the pudi (powder) used in that, it's little sweet, little spicy made every bite crave for more. Even their Gulab Jamoon scored well, it was slightly over sweetened I felt otherwise it was good too.
There are no tables and you have to have dosa sitting in a bench, self service and pricing is on higher side but it's worth considering the taste. Parking is a concern, don't take your car and you may get two wheeler parking only if you are blessed. In spite of all odds, this is one dosa which you shouldn't miss!

This place is budget friendly but serves the best south indian food ! Their bhaath dosa, podi dosa and ghee idlis are the best! I highly recommend this for the food. If you like ambience then this restaurant is not for you.
Rare diamond in the rough. This place is right in the middle of avenue road /chickpet . It's a tough task getting there but totally worth the effort. Tip go at 8 30 pm. Podi masala dosa is crisp ,soft and flavourful ,Melts in your mouth ,so good that you can easily have 2 because it's homely and not full of soda etc.idlis must be had with ghee. Better than most places. This place serves food like its an expert grandma's kitchen and I'm going back despite my anxiety for crowded narrow places.
Trying to find a best place for breakfast in the weekend?

- Kesari bath
Ratings:
Ambience : 4/5
Taste : 5/5
Menu Options : 5/5
Lemon rice (best ever) and Savige bath are must try but available only in the afternoon.
The place is heaven for south indian meal lovers like me. Food they serve is super reasonable,refreshing and scrumptious with all the essential components of a full meal.
Although, the place is difficult to find ,but you gon never regret the efforts youve put it to get there.
Proper 5/5 for food, ambience might upset some ostentious souls.
Still for me its an overall 5/5
Cheap tip- you must try pomegranate and amla juice in a shop opposite to this food joint
Love this place!
LNR as they call it, has dosas made of pure ghee and that's why the price might be on a higher side when compared to other places.
The Pudi dosa and idlies are the two things I love at this place!
South Indian meals also available at this place.
Service is good. Staff does their work efficiently.
Surely a 5/5.
This place is located in a narrow lane in Nagarpet (Chickpet area). The food is just lip smacking delicious. The streaming idlis with chutney, podi dosa all a class apart. One of the best South Indian places in Bangalore.
Only thing I didn't like was that they use disposable plates
Dosas were soooo good. Out of the three I've had in India so far, this was by far the best! Super crispy with delicious chutney. The potatoes are so savory and I could eat that for days.
There's a bathroom and a sink to wash your hands after eating
One of the best Dosas I've ever had. Quick service. The place is a must Visit. The approach is kinda tough but it's all worthit. The Dosa Idli here are Killer. Their lemon rice are also great.
Though it is amidst the dirty place, they have maintained clean and hygiene inside. Authentic taste and value for money.
The food was truly delicious, especially the meals, which gave me the feeling of attending a marriage function. The hospitality was exceptional.
Going to this place for a long long time and they have never let me down. Their all time best dish is masala dose. This time we took pudi masala, pudi bath masala, mango jamoon, parota, idli and vade. Idli and vade was ok ok other than that, everything else was fantastic. We enjoyed the food completely.
The only downside is that it is a super expensive place for a darshani
Great food. Reminds me of those good old days ka taste. No oil only ghee which makes it healthy as most of the hotels use palm oil. The only drawback is it's location but for what it's worth I think it's worth it... Over and over again.
If your are in Chickpet surroundings for shopping or in Nagartpet. This is a go-to place. It's a little interior but easy to find. it's just next to the temple Opposite Karnataka steel house Banner. we tried Masala dosa, Chitrana, Puloa, Idly. They have all varieties of breakfast items and they only accept cash. Coming to Taste their Khali Dosa, Masala Dosa are Top notch. Their Idly's are soft and served with two kinds of chutney. Pulao was on the spicy side served with Chutney, we ended our meal with curd rice. Overall Taste is very good. Might feel a little pricy. Coming to coffee nothing special wish the Coffee serving guy would treat customers well. Sitting arrangement is little different from normal hotels
Really amazing place for dosas. I had only pudi dosa and coffee here but loved it the most. Must visit place if you are in and around Chikpete.
Nice& good, unique incredible content about pure silver utensils food preparation & serving tradition culture. It's a indescribable thing.
I wanted to have pure south Indian & I reached to this place by the suggestion of my friend & loved it. I never had so much delicious idly & pudi masala dosa before. Coconut chutney was awesome. Price is cheaper then any other . Restaurant is clean & hygiene. So much variety in menu, I wanted to other dish but my stomach was full in just 2 dishes. I recommend this. I love this. I would love to come back again & again.
