Karnatic

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.

Visited this place a while back. Food was alright but the service was horrible. We were treated differently just because we were students. Water was not served even after asking quite a few times. The waiter literally ran to another table in the middle of taking our order. The manager guy (or so we assumed) was especially rude and arrogant. Would not suggest any student or a young person to dine here.

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.

Great atmosphere with cool and pleasentness, idea of depicting local culture fused with food restaurant seems quite interesting to me, the art the setup the materials etc adds to the coolness of the place
The service was great
The taste was best
The options were good
The price could have been little low
Overall experience was 4.55.

Nice ambience, excellent food, amazing service and staff.one of the staff name Anand he was nice, polite and curious about what we want.quality of food was delicious and fresh. If u r looking for authentic south Indian food then u must try this one.obattu was too good.

Good restaurant with a lot of South Indian food options. The prices are reasonable. It is placed in a good location. The restaurant has been kept very clean. The "Coconut Mousse", which was a dessert, was unexceptional!

Good place. The food is good, very palatable, no typical over masala fare. The ambience is great - go leftwards when you enter, the tables there are cozier. The service is examplery, very satisfied. The price is on the higher side but a good dining out experience overall.

After a long time i tried a full south indian meal here at Carnatic, and came out extremely satisfied. It was a wholesome experience, both spicy and sweet one. Started with muskmelon pulpy juice which was unique and my first try with pulp, very delicious and must try. Kale soup was regular for me. In appetizers, paneer and chicken Ghee Roast stole my heart, the masala was well done and ghee flavour came out well. One rare place where they make ghee Roast well, it was complimented with neer Dosa. Tried chicken biryani with salan and raita which tasted real nice. Gutti Vankaya Pulav was exceptionally good, loved every bite of eggplant which i otherwise don't like. Ghee Roast dosa was served with amazing tomato peanut and coconut peanut chutney, which i liked much that i ordered akki roti too, to try this different item with the same set of chutneys. Kotthu parotta egg was absolutely delicious too. Finally in desserts, obattu was my first try and absolutely loved it. Kulfi was well chilled, solid and tasted apt. Coconut mousse was my favourite and yet another interesting try. Pricing is economical and portions are sized well. Must visit place.

We have stepped in on Sankranti Day and We have ordered their Special Thali at 499 but trust me the food portion is very small and one time only. Taste is very worse and more over it is just one time only. I suggest n recommend that don't try for it.

Even though we have ordered from Ala caete but the food quality is very bad.

If you are going here for the first time.try the platters and then go for what u like the best! All the items are prepared to give you that authentic taste of it! Being a South Indian and rice lover I loved the curry leaf rice here! Drumstick vepudu was something different we tried and it was good

Situated in the Cbd area of Bangalore at iconic church street, Carnatic is beautiful Culinary Tale of southern states, namely Karnataka, twin states of Andhra & telengana, Tamil Nadu and Kerala. The ambience has an aura of southern charm with service staff in traditional attire serving the southern flavours in traditional way.

Located on the Church Street, Carnatic is an authentic South Indian restaurant with royal interiors and spacious enough to keep a good crowd.

I visited this place to try their newly launched all day breakfast menu which they serve on Sundays from 8pm.

We started with some beverages like majjige, lime water and tulasi seeds and panka which is made of muskmelon and one of their famous drinks.

Heading to the dishes, we tried the mutton chops which was well cooked, akki roti tasted yum with the green chutney, the kaal soup or the mutton leg soup was just okay. The crisp plain dosa was perfect with the green and tomato chutney and the egg kothu parota was delicious.

In the biryani section, we had the chicken biryani which was delightful with the salan and gutti vankaya pulav which is made with brinjal was a unique and amazing dish I have ever tried though I am not a fan of eggplants.

We also had some of their desserts and the coconut moose and kulfi were just the best.

What happens when you mix best craft beer in Bangalore with the best South Indian food?

You get Carnatic.

Extensive menu with the best dishes from Mangalore, Mysore, Nellore, Andhra, Chettinad, Kerala served under one roof, along with the best craft beer from Brewsky.

I had visited twice for dinner, and every time, had an excellent experience.

Loved the Neer dosa, ghee roast, appams!

If you are in South Bangalore, this is one the MUST VISIT restaurant.

Hi, I would want to rate it 0, This review is for the JP nagar Hotel. The management is horrible, once the order was placed they come back after half hour and say the starter is not available. Next after change of order still we waited for more half hour and still nothing was served. (Both starter and main course)
After waiting for one hour no response & we started to leave they did not bother about it.

I went in search of the service boy and asked and all they said it is crowded. (rush ide sir) so we left.

The food was ordinary, we were a party of three.
They don't serve chutney with Neer Dosa! So much for South Indian food.

We ordered bonda soup, it was more like salt soup, when complained, the service personnel nodded their head and did nothing

Lack of chutney forced us to order Avarekayi side dish, could not make anything out of it, it was not made well

Good decor and church street alone can't make a restaurant.

Avoid

Visited Carnatic a month back, ambience is decent and while the staff were polite and helpful, the service was a little slow, maybe they were a little understaffed.
Food was good, ordered the veg thali which was good, but the mushroom ghee roast was amazing. The coconut pudding was fabulous.

We were there for lunch.one of our friends ordered a thali, it was not good at all.they brought thali with rice which was cold and they forgot the papad. The dosa too was given but forgot to give chutney till asked for.they gave one hand bowl when we were 6 of us.
They added some items that were not asked for.then they corrected the bill after we questioned them

Carnatic is an authentic South Indian restaurant with brilliant food from all the four South Indian states as well as coastal food. It has a very pleasant ambience, beautiful wall paintings, rich South Indian decor giving out the perfect South Indian vibes. The spices, the taste of the dishes are perfectly South Indian.
The Thali both non veg and veg with a whopping 30 dishes and mini thali (non veg, veg) having 16 dishes each are a must try if you're in a mood to devour food from the four South Indian states. Other food items to try are the biriyanis. The quantity of food could be more considering the price charged.

Ambiance is good. Food is not bad. Had the paya soup which was very tasty. Highly recommended dish is Amma's chicken. The biryani was just ok. I hv tasted better. The place is open till 4am on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Definitely worth visiting after a night out at the pub.

A restaurant with an unique concept. Serving major specialities from cuisines of all south Indian states. Quality of food and service is perfect. It's definitely a worthy experience to try out various dishes. Most of them felt authentic and tasted great but a few were average. They have played around with camphor frangnance instead of room freshners which enhaces the ambience.

The Carnatic region is the region of peninsular South India lying between the Eastern Ghats and the Western Ghats, in the modern Indian states of Karnataka,  Tamil Nadu and southern Andhra Pradesh.

Carnatic, The restaurant has hand-picked some specials from this region and added to their menu.

Must Try:

1.   Mutton Pepper Fry (Karnataka Style)
2. Rava Fish Fry (Coastal)
3.   Special Biryani of the day
4.   In House Made kulfi

 
Ambience:

Warm & traditional. Beautifully  Handpainted Ravi verma paintings on the wall.

Service: Waiting time is less. Service good.
However ppl who are new to the Cusine require to be recommend and explained to a bit better by the service staff is my observation.

Food: The menu is quite vast, it took us a while to decide what to order.

Starters:
We started from  the Karnataka section with some Mutton Leg soup & fry.
It was simple and nice. A little more spices in the soup and fry would have been nice

 Then we ordered Mutton  Menassu Fry (Pepper fry) again from the Karnataka section. This one is really yum.

Also ordered a small portion of Anjal tawa fry. Good option if you like coastal food.

 Mains:

For mains we ordered kothu Paroto and mandya style biryani.
Kothu parota is a speciality from tamil nadu , this was ok and the portion size quite large.
Not all Biryani types is on their regular menu so ask for it as they do different styles every day.

We had the Mandya Style Biryanni – More like the Donne style. This was great and do try it with side of Andhra style chicken chilli. Since we were full we moved to desserts.

Desserts:

In House kulfi & coconut mouse
 The kesar Kulfi was refreshing, very home style

 Coconut Mouse was served in a coconut shell and the interesting bit was it came with a layer of biscuit powder and sugar crystals. Reminded me of Nice biscuit.
If you like coconut order this.

Overall:
Perfect place to get the glimpse of this regional cuisine in blore.

Carnatic, an upscale restaurant in Church Street which serves until 4AM. As the name suggests this place serves dishes from the Southern region of India. The warm classical music on the background and the wonderful illustrations make it a wonderful ambiance. I was here to try their Hosatadaku menu recently.

Bonda Soup: Fantastic! One word for it. Subtle amount of spice and crispy Vada in a turmeric base.
Idli-Nati Koli Saaru: Idli was fine. The country chicken or Nati Koli was not cooked that well and the meat was a bit chewy.
Andhra Style Chilli Chicken: Spicy as it should be and wonderfully cooked.
Puri and Batani Kheema Gojju: This was the most devoured dish. It was good
Mutton Pulav: here again, mutton pulav was Flavourful and decent
Yelaneeru Payasa: Tender Coconut Payasa was great with chunks of Tender Coconut. Could have reduced a bit of sugar

Service could have improved a bit.
Bon Appetit,
Ghatotkatcha

Ambience is good. But Karnataka style recipes are very disappointing and bland. Manager who takes the orders doesn't give much information about the dish while ordering. And service is not great. Overall experience was not so good. It's placed in central of Bangalore, Would suggest them to focus on our own Karnataka recipes first as it's rich in flavor and spices.

Quaint place for Vegetarian and non-vegetarian food - worth a Try
When we entered the Restaurant, there were hardly any customers. Yes, we had reached early - just after 12 noon for lunch. But when we were leaving after lunch, there were people waiting outside to get in - in fact, after we paid our Bill, and were still chatting, we were gently informed that there are people waiting outside.

Wooden tables, high ceiling, not very bright interiors, etc.make it a quaint place. The food was served as a buffet. Welcome drink and starters at the Table. All else from the counter. There was a live chaat counter too. Indian Breads (Rotis) were also served at the Table. A decent spread and a mild mix of South Indian and North Indian Vegetarian food.

The service can do with some improvement, And the Desserts too. Service was slow. We had to remind several times for Rotis, but they were very quick with the Bill! Desserts were not as tasty as they looked. And there was no refill once the carrot halwa got over - no one to monitor these things, I guess. After several reminders, the refill came.

Good for one try at least.

Ambience: The time put in for the decor and the furniture as made the place very beautiful.

Food: All the items we ordered were very tasty and we enjoyed the variety. Especially the prawns ghee roast was outstanding.

Menu: The menu offers a variety of all the South Indian dishes. They have segregated the menu for Karnataka, Andhra and Tamilnadu States. That's a good thing to find all dishes under one roof.
However, they have not included some of the main items in the menu.
It can present it in a better way.

Price: It can be considered as acceptable for the taste, the ambience and the location.

Hosts and Stewards: They were courteous and welcoming. However, can improve buy maintaining their patience.

Carnatic is an beautiful expression of culinary richness in the southern states. A gourmet tale with tradition, a place to experience some of the best recipes from the states of Karnataka, Tamilnadu, Kerala, Andhra & Telengana.

”

The interiors gives a nice, rich feel of culture and traditions of the Carnatic, a region of South India between the Eastern Ghats and the Coromandel Coast, in the modern Indian states of Tamil Nadu, south eastern Karnataka, north eastern Kerala and southern Andhra Pradesh. The beautiful southern style paintings, decorative temple lamps, rich and luxuriously wooden furniture, along with the copper dinnerware adds to the entire charm of this place.

As I browse their menu, I could see that there are sections in the menu dedicated to various cuisines, starting with some of the specialities from Karnataka, like the Mandya Style Kaal Soup, Stuffed Bendekai, Kuri Kaal Roast, followed by the authentic fare from neighbouring Tamil Nadu, the Kothukari Paniyaram with keema, Chettinadu Masala fry, Mutton / Chicken Kurma.

Love their biryani

Also must try their coconut mousse and lime water with Tulasi seeds
Service is also amazing day

Though restaurant is good, very worst service I have ever experienced in my life, Firstly They don't serve what we order, secondly they serve on time, we were half filled and made us wait 40 min for the next items. And they fight in the kitchen.

No team coordination and the manager is least bothered to address them or customers
