Posted by Veena Shivanna (Bengalooru, India) on 20 April 2007 in Cityscape & Urban.

I dont think I need to write more about this place. Recently managed to eat Shavige bath here on a sunday morning! :-) !!

You can read about this here & here on Vijay's and Bellur's blog.

By the time you get the eatable, the hunger is dead... :-)

Since its named Veena, you need to wait for the order to be served ;), probably.

And is that Sanjay fetching the order for u there?

@Srikaanth: It should be the other way isn't it ?

Yes, Sanjay & his friend Jigar.. the day when were heading to Girish's radio program samvaada!

wow! rush nodi alli. It always amazes me for the project management between IT industry (that goes for ever) and daily catering needs management @fast foods like these, where they do not have the definite/approximate count for demand and still be able to cater the needs quickly. :)

regarding "By the time you get the eatable, the hunger is dead... :-)" --> I think it is better than the restaurants where I usually fall asleep by the time I receive the food, even when the restaurant has only 2 out of 20 tables filled. :)

ummm.... shyavige baath nanna favoritu. I used to enjoy shyavige baath (Rs6/- per plate 8 yrs ago) at a corner store by Dental School in Jayanagar 4th block. Shyaavige baath with coconut chutney combination anthoo sooooper aagiraththe. yum yum...

@Ram: yes yes, they do demand-supply management quite pretty well.
