New Krishna Bhavan, the iconic eatery in Malleshwaram, Bengaluru, is bidding farewell as it announces the closure of its doors on December 6. Renowned for its piping-hot breakfast, the eatery, established in 1944, has been a favorite among locals and visitors alike.
The building housing New Krishna Bhavan has reportedly been sold to a jewelry company, prompting the management to make the tough decision to shut down permanently. This news has left the local community heartbroken, with many expressing their emotional connection to the eatery on social media.
As the last week of operations approaches, patrons are making their way to New Krishna Bhavan for one last visit. A saddened customer shared a picture and commented, “Heard the news that New Krishna Bhavan is closing. Went there yesterday for a good open butter masala dosa before it shuts down. Sad to say that the experience was substandard. The dosa and aloo palya were cold. A very disappointing experience!”
Another user lamented the closure, saying, “Breaks my heart into a million pieces.. progress?!?! New Krishna Bhavan in Sampige Road, Malleswaram will be closed down to make way for some other commercial establishments. Who will give me their amazing dosas, kotte kadubu, green idlis, and fried rice?”
A local shared the sentiment, stating, “It is the end of an era today – Bangalore’s iconic New Krishna Bhavan restaurant closing down and Charlie Munger passing on. May their legacy be remembered for generations to come. In many ways, we grew up with both of them.”
