Karnatic - South Indian restaurant in Bengaluru - Bengaluru Urban, India

After trying their outlet in JP Nagar, visited their outlet in Church Street which is comparatively smaller to the JP Nagar outlet. Located on the second floor, there is a lift available to reach. The place was near empty and we took the seat of our choice. We tried the following: karibevu chicken, chicken donne biriyani, veg thali, elaneer lime and elaneer payasam. Items took about 15 mins to be served but all items came in together. Taste was good and authentic. Some of the menu options were unavailable. They didn't have non veg thali. The ambience is decent but the music they play is very soothing. Overall we had a good experience and staff are friendly as well.

Loved the chicken biryani. Very good ambience and authentic feeling.Karnatic Restaurant offers a delightful journey into South Indian cuisine. Nestled in the heart of church street, it exudes a warm, inviting ambiance. The aroma of freshly ground spices sets the tone for an authentic experience. The service was attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. Overall, Karnatic Restaurant is a must-visit for anyone seeking an exceptional taste of South Indian culinary heritage. The coconut mousse is a must tryy desert.

They had all the most famous south biryani's served in a single plate! The concept is cool though. Service was a bit delayed because of the crowd even on a Thursday. The atmosphere was a bit suffocating because of the closed area with a lot of crowd. The serving folks were great though.

We had ordered appam, Malabar chicken curry, chicken biriyani Nati style which were really good. I was fascinated by Rayalseema lemon pepper chicken which was a weird and not so authentic Rayalseema dish. Service was really fantastic. No finger bowl being served but got to use hand wash. Next time would like to try prawns or chicken ghee roast with beer dosa and there authentic multi biriyani option.

Lots of posts on Instagram about this place, so here goes a try. It was just too hyped (not worth the hype) maybe because you get to taste a variety of biryani at once in a thali which I really appreciate. The taste of the biryanis was average. A total of 7 biryani and 2 piece kebab for 599 is a bit overrated but was filling the empty stomach. rs99 beer (only KF Ultra Max) is optional though. Ambience could've been better or maybe that's the max they can get in that space. It's a good visit if you want to taste a variety of biryanis!

This is a must go place for all the Biryani Lovers, here in Bengaluru, specially if you love Beer along with Biryani, because they got a special platter going on with the name of "Beeryani", that comes with 9 different types of Biryanis(bowl cup portion) along with an add-on of Kingfisher Ultra pint (99/- only). The Biryanis are from different South India places including Hyderbadi Biryani, all with different tastes and flavours, the kebabs served with it are also awesome. We order another separate dish, Chicken Ghee Roast, it is just magic for all the hot & spicy lovers, most recommended. Do give it a try. Thanks!

This place is located in the heart of the city Church street, Bengaluru Was here on "Beeriyani festival" @karnatic.blr where they serve 10 types of biryani starting from just Rs. 99. They also have an option of separate individual plates of biriyani which starts from Rs.99 as well as the entire biryani thali. Total 10 varieties of Biryani (both veg and non veg) They serve 6 kinds of biryanis in the non veg thali. Price for chicken 599 Price for mutton 699, Veg Thali - 349, Beer not included in thalis (it can be an add-on for inr 99 only) Loved the mushroom biryani and veg biryani. My friend tried non veg thali and they also liked all the varieties of biryani in thali Their ambience is very traditional and during beeriyani festival food is also served in traditional attire.

It was our first visit yesterday. Through the word of mouth. The restaurant was decently crowded. There was some biryani festival going on. Festival apart, 1. Waiting time is too much, even if we reserve the table online we have to wait for atleast 40 minutes. No one bothers even if we request that the kids and elders are there, staff handling the waiting customers are very hyper and arrogant. Their cooking process is very slow that's why the waiting time, or else there is nothing much in that. 2. Ambience is good, decent, air conditioned. 3. Serving staff - none of them know the regional language, I am not sure about the proprietor. Again, serving staff are not friendly, and they simply wander here and there like kids, behaving awkward in front of the customers. Forget it. 4. Food - yes there are decent options of food, liquor also available in a limited menu. Hygiene is maintained, taste is okay. Deep fried items are not so great, off-course deep fried items contain oil but in this restaurant it's not properly fried. 5. Let's come to their table reservation, billing, payment and advertising part. The phone of the restaurant which is available in google is 24/7 switched off. They themselves have provided us the option to reserve the table via online e-commerce websites like "easy-diner" and they have mentioned that payment is accepted through the same Easy-Diner and all other platforms. Once we finished our dinner and the waiter brought the bill, I said I will pay through Easy Diner App since their restaurant is tied up with Easy diner for reservations and payments, now started the tug off between me and the person at the billing counter, I really don't know what was his problem or the management's problem, they suddenly said they accept easy diner payments only for limited food options. It was ridiculous. I realised that I became fool by watching logs of this restaurant and over hypes given. They want e-commerce apps for reservations and don't accept the payments from them. I finally ended up arguing with the staff, paid the bill and left the restaurant. All I can say is, it's an overrated restaurant in the city. The main thing to improvise is, staff behaviour, management is more of money minded, it won't work in long term, their false promises in advertising, and sorting out their niggles with payments. That's it.
