"Their idlis are superlative, and so are their medu vade, dipped in VS’s special minty chutney. (I’ve always believed that the combination of fluffy idli and crisp vada must be one of India’s great gustatory experien­ces.)"

Suresh Hinduja

"Veena Stores has been fulfilling its promise of serving hot, steamy and fluffy idlis to the people in Bangalore for years now. The reason why they’re there is what’s on the plates: the softest, fluffiest idlis you’ll find, served with a lovely pale green chutney and to wash it down a glass of strong filter coffee."

Meghana Petkar

"I really liked it. The idli’s were super fluffy & soft."

Ayushi Anand

"Make a quick stop at Veena Stores for their crisp and soft Idlis."

Priyadarshini Nandy

"It’s inexpensive, comes with a lot of chutney and is the pride of Malleswaram, if not the entire city. It’s totally worth driving up to the place just for one idli-morning."

Saina Jayapal

"This iconic South Indian breakfast joint is practically world famous for its soft, soft idlis, perfect Shavige Bhath and unlimited chutney. Must Eat: The Idli Vada combo."

Bellur Ramakrishna

"The Idlis are small, fluffy ‘melt in the mouth’ types."

Atheetha Raghuchandran

"I was told the idlis in Veena Stores are the best, but I never expected it to be this amazing! The idli was soft, fluffy and just melted in my mouth and the pudhina (mint) chutney that came with it was the perfect dip to elevate the taste of the idli to an altogether different level."

Maheima Kapur

"Veena Stores in Malleshwaram is what started as a condiment store in 1977 and morphed into a legendary eatery, serving consistently good South-Indian fare, especially idlis which melt as soon as they touch the tongue."

Neha Mujumdar

"Not because people anticipated rain and reached for cover, but thanks to the fluffy, steaming idlis served up at Veena Stores. But Veena Stores triumphs, as it has over the years, for its equally strong offerings beyond the admittedly stunning idli-vada."
