(This month, each day, except the four Sundays, I will be blogging about interesting features associated with Bengaluru, formerly known as Bangalore, as part of the Blogging from A to Z April Challenge)
The best-known landmark here is a restaurant with the unlikely name of Vidyarthi Bhavan, which roughly translates as Students' Home. There is a reason.

It was founded in 1943 by Venkataramana Ural primarily to cater to schoolchildren.
In 1970, it was sold to its present owner Ramakrishna Adiga. During these 78 years, it's been untouched by the designs of modern architecture.
While the clientele was students back then, it's people from all walks of life today.
The everyday rush of people to savour the delicacies -- mainly masala dosa -- is so much that people wait patiently for as long as an hour for their turn to be let in.
