Koshy's
Family-run café-restaurant that began as a bakery in 1940; the restaurant opened in 1952. It keeps its colonial-era wooden furniture, fans and mirrors and is known for its breakfasts.
Why it’s worth it
Run by the third generation of the Koshy family, it keeps old-Bangalore interiors that have barely changed, and in 2026 it still hosted a Syrian Christian supper pop-up.
