After Your Rajiv Gandhi Nagar Park Walk
A neighbourhood BBMP park right in Kodigehalli — the nearest bus stop is Canara Bank Colony Kodigehalli, a 10-minute walk from the park. A quiet, local morning-walk spot frequented by Kodigehalli residents.
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 Kodigehalli and the surrounding Kodigehalli / Sahakaranagar / Hebbal / Yelahanka belt, the cleanest, most authentic option is **Shastrys Cafe**.

Getting from Rajiv Gandhi Nagar Park to Shastrys Cafe
From the main entrance of Rajiv Gandhi Nagar Park, it is approximately **0.3 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 follows the authentic Brahmin tradition of serving tiffin with **coconut chutney only — no sambar**, the same way Brahmins Coffee Bar, Veena Stores, and Hegde do. Sambar is served at lunch with the rice thali, which is the proper place for it.
