After Your Hebbal Lake Walk
Hebbal Lake is one of Bangalore's most famous urban lakes, surrounded by a spacious walking path and a well-maintained garden. Morning and evening walkers visit in large numbers, and the birdlife (including pelicans and herons during migration season) is a bonus.
What most walkers agree on: the walk is only half the ritual. The second half is the **cup of creamy almond-saffron milk** on the way home. And for residents of Hebbal and the surrounding Kodigehalli / Sahakaranagar / Hebbal / Yelahanka belt, the cleanest, most authentic option is **Shastrys Cafe**.

Getting from Hebbal Lake to Shastrys Cafe
From the Hebbal Lake main gate of Hebbal Lake, it is approximately **4.5 km** to Shastrys Cafe. Most walkers find it a 5–15 minute auto ride or a short drive depending on traffic. If you are already on a cool-down walk, the cafe is within a comfortable distance for many regulars.
What to Pair with Badam Milk
Walkers often pair their cup with a light breakfast:
Idli with fresh coconut chutney: — soft, warm, easy on the stomach
Vada with chutney: — protein from urad dal, satisfying
Ven Pongal: — creamy rice-dal with ghee, the ideal warm post-walk comfort food
Kesari Bath: — if you want something sweet to end with
Shastrys Cafe serves tiffin with **freshly ground coconut chutney and steaming hot sambar** — made fresh every morning, paired with idli, vada, and every dosa on the menu.

FAQ
**Q: Is Shastrys open early enough for morning walkers?**
We open at **8:30 AM**, which suits walkers finishing their loops between 7 and 9 AM. Earlier walkers often visit on their way home after stopping elsewhere first.
**Q: Can I order Badam Milk for delivery instead of dining in?**
Yes — on Zomato, Swiggy or Ownly. Search **Shastrys Cafe** on either platform and add Badam Milk (₹45) to your cart.
**Q: Does Shastrys serve at the park?**
No — we are a cafe, not a stall. Our address is No.880, NTI Layout, 2nd Phase, Rajiv Gandhi Nagar, Kodigehalli, Bangalore – 560097. But we're close enough to walk or drive after your park session.
