Beginning as a canteen for students of a local school in 1943–1944, Vidyarthi Bhavan has grown to be a well-known landmark in Bengaluru. Famous for its “masala dosage,” which seems thick on the exterior but becomes crispy as you eat it, it is a popular hangout for politicians, literary greats, students, and working adults.
The same restaurant recently published a picture of Rishi Sunak, the prime minister of Britain, who dined there in 2019.
