On completing 75 years of its existence, the good old Vidyarthi Bhavan decided to celebrate the moment in a very special way. To start off, we coordinated with them in organizing an event at Ravindra Kalakshetra, Bengaluru. This event came about as a landmark and one of its kind. For the very first time, it has happened so that a restaurant released their own stamp and a postal cover. In addition to this, they also released a coffee table book named ‘Nenapinangala’ that reflected the journey of the restaurant. Furthermore, they even felicitated their staff members for their constant service and hard work. They were awarded and acknowledged for their efforts. This event was loaded with the dosa fans and lovers of this exemplary restaurant. In this big fat dosa affair, there were a large number of people involved and it was our pleasure to be a part of this iconic journey!
Opened in 1943 by Venkataramana Ural from Saligra, Vidyarthi Bhavan was ready to serve authentic Karnataka affair, especially dosas. In the 1970s, the family handed it over to Ramakrishna Adiga. Now, Ramakrishna’s son Arun has taken over the family business. Benne Masala Dosa, Puri Saagu, Idli-Vade Sambar, Uppittu, Chow-Chow Bath have celebrity status! Vidyarthi Bhavan primarily started for students, as the name suggests, but its popularity increased, and today they have celebrities from all fields who drop-in for their delicious dosas and coffee. Writers BR Lakshmana Rao and P Lankesh, Poet MN Vyasa Rao, Field Marshal Cariappa, educator H Narasimhaiah and actors Vishnuvardhan, Ananth Nag, and Shankar Nag were among the regulars. A heritage spot in Gandhi Bazaar.
