Bangalore and food go hand-in-hand. You cannot separate food and someone from Bangalore. They love their food and know exactly where to get it from. And while you might have your favourite haunts that you frequent, we decided to take it up a notch — and turned to Anurag Arora to take us through his Bangalorean food itinerary.

Anurag, a product designer and a cook, began his culinary journey with a home dinner popup in 2019, aiming to share his food beyond his immediate circle. He now hosts a popular dinner series at his home, Apartment. He has also held such popups in New York, Mexico and Italy. Additionally, he has been featured at renowned restaurants like Kanishka, Pidgin London, and published by Main in Vancouver.

So, it only felt right to get to know his favourite spots in Bangalore and here's what he has on his Bangalorean food itinerary.
