Koshy's

This place is a true vintage gem that has stood the test of time for decades. Walking into the restaurant is like stepping back into the 1980s, the atmosphere, the decor, and the ambiance all perfectly capture the era’s unique charm. Time seems to slow down as you soak in the classic walls and retro vibes, eagerly anticipating a delicious meal. They serve exceptional bacons and classic English breakfast fare, making it a perfect spot for breakfast lovers. Just don’t expect biryanis here 😆🤷‍♀️ it’s not that kind of place. Overall, it’s a wonderfully nostalgic destination that feeds the soul with authentic vintage warmth and character. The ambiance recalls iconic 80s restaurant design elements such as bold accent walls, interesting color combinations, and vintage furnishings that create an immersive throwback experience. This attention to detail helps evoke the aura of that era beautifully, making the place more than just a restaurant but a delightful time capsule.

Disappointed by the Food, Saved by the Ambience Honestly, I had heard a lot about Koshy's and decided to visit with high expectations, only to be left disappointed—especially by the lunch menu. While the dishes sounded fancy on paper, they completely lacked flavour. Everything we ordered was surprisingly bland. The Chicken Florentine was especially underwhelming—the white sauce was lumpy and reminded me of wallpaper paste, and the chicken itself tasted like it was just boiled with no seasoning. The Vegetable Malai Kofta had a rich color that promised a punch of flavor but delivered none. It was bland and lifeless, like most of the meal. We were hungry, and the salt and pepper on the table ended up doing the heavy lifting. The pickle and raita ended up being the most flavourful items on the table. The French fries and tomato soup were decent, with at least some seasoning. To be fair, the staff were courteous and the ambience was fantastic, which makes this review even harder to write. The place clearly has a legacy and charm, but the food fell shockingly short—especially for the prices they charge. Really hope they get their bearings and bring back the flavours they’re known for. Until then, I’m not sure I’d recommend it for a proper meal.

Visited after years. Still retains some of its old-world charm. Part chaos, part orderly. But things work reasonably well. Tried my old favourites - liver on toast and the bacon omelette. Both were worth the revisit. My wife tried the appam and veggie stew which was decent, not great. Coffee excellent, orange juice superb. So that's a 5 star for the food in my book and 4 for the rest.

It is always pleasant to experience a nostalgic feel, and I appreciate that aspect. The availability of good food always enhances the overall experience, and I find that quite important. The presence of dim lights contributes to a particular ambiance, which I like very much. I also love it when establishments offer an old-fashioned atmosphere; that's a good touch. Moreover, I enjoy that the food itself is delicious and satisfying, an important attribute. The availability of food with alcohol caters to various preferences, which is something I appreciate. Ultimately, all these elements together provide a very pleasant and well-rounded experience for customers.

We’ve visited this restaurant many times, and overall the experience has been fairly good. The food quality has been decent on most visits, and the prices feel reasonable considering its prime location. The restaurant also serves some English-style breakfast items like omelettes, toast, and classic breakfast combos. One of the highlights is the old-world charm and vintage ambience — the classic interior. Many people come here not just for food, but also to enjoy the nostalgic atmosphere that has attracted generations of diners. Not a spicy-food destination: If you’re looking for heavily spiced South Indian or local spicy fare, this isn’t really the place — the menu leans more to continental, classic cafe food, and mild flavours rather than fiery Indian curries. Overall, it’s a worthwhile visit if you appreciate heritage spots and classic breakfast/brunch menus — just temper expectations if you’re seeking bold, spicy Indian cuisine.

Breakfast at Koshy’s Bar & Restaurant was a big letdown. Food felt like dabba quality — the veg stew was just watery with no taste. Coffee was terrible; even the waiter admitted it’s not good and said the chef has changed. The place has lost its vintage charm. Washrooms were dirty and poorly maintained. Way too expensive for this quality. Totally overrated now. Not recommended.

This restaurant is hyped so much that one can plan to go here and see the beautiful old ambience of Bangalore and relive the old and golden times spent by our great people of Bangalore, food is average , the interiors is beautiful reminding you the old club culture Bangalore days. We ordered Fish fingers which was good also Mutton Briyani was good . But the Chicken steak was not what we excepted. Staff have their own way of handling the customers . As I have seen many reviews about this place that staff is not friendly etc… but I had a very good experience and they were good and knew about the menu and cooperative too. Food was average not as great as it was hyped . Overall I would recommend this place only to People who would love to come here and have the experience with their loved ones and relive the old Bangalore days.

Koshys is an emotion! I have been going here from many years and the taste never changed. I have tried I think most of the dishes and they have been satisfactory. We also tried the Kaya bread toast from Sunday special which was good. I like the service too, they are quick and the atmosphere is vintage. However, the washroom was very bad today even though we went right at 9 am.
