Restaurant Review - New Modern Hotel, VV Puram

New Modern Hotel or NMH as it is popularly known by locals, is neither new nor modern. In fact it has been around for the last 50 years and is an institution in itself, showcasing the way the restaurants used to function in this city.
Unaffected by modernisation this place has still retained its old world charm and you'll get to see a large board with the items and pricing mentioned on it both in kannada and english.

The waiters still walk around barefoot wearing lungis and the cashier still sits behind a metal cage dishing out exact change in seconds.
If you have watched the recent alpenliebe ad carefully, where the waiter runs you through the items on the menu in seconds, it has been shot in NMH, so you might be able to relate to this place.

NMH is popular for their tiffin items like Idli, Dosa, Vada but i personally like the more rare delicacies like the bonda soup and sweet chiroti which one might not find at darshinis. Their strong coffee is like a jolt of caffeine and will awaken your senses instantly.
Pricing is rather low and service is quick. I wouldn't recommend the very ordinary meals/thali which they serve, but otherwise its a great place for breakfast or snacks. Absolute value for money and demands atleast one visit from any foodie just to bring back old world charm of bengaluru restaurants.

Rating - 4/5
