Vasudev Adigas, Vegetarian restaurant in Bangalore, India.
Vasudev Adigas is a vegetarian restaurant in Bangalore that serves South Indian dishes such as dosas, idlis, vadas, and rice-based meals on metal plates. The space is divided into a quick counter area at the front and a full sit-down dining room toward the back, so the setup suits both a fast bite and a relaxed meal.
The restaurant traces its roots to the Udupi cooking tradition, a style that developed in the coastal town of Udupi in Karnataka and was originally associated with temple kitchens serving vegetarian food. Over time, the concept expanded into multiple branches across Bangalore.
The name "Adigas" refers to a Brahmin community from the coastal part of Karnataka, traditionally known for vegetarian cooking. Dishes here are prepared without onion or garlic, which is a practice tied to that community's food customs and still visible on the menu today.
A visit works best in the morning for breakfast or around midday when the full menu is available and the kitchen is at its busiest. Those in a hurry can use the front counter, while the dining room at the back offers a more relaxed pace.
Some branches of Vasudev Adigas are open around the clock, which is uncommon for a traditional South Indian restaurant. This makes certain locations one of the few places in the city where you can get a hot meal after midnight.
