After Your Ganesh Temple Park Walk
A popular walking-and-running track in Sahakaranagar, near the Ganesh Temple. Well-lit, community-friendly, and attended by regulars from dawn onwards.
What most walkers agree on: the walk is only half the ritual. The second half is the **cup of cool spiced buttermilk** on the way home. And for residents of Sahakaranagar and the surrounding Kodigehalli / Sahakaranagar / Hebbal / Yelahanka belt, the cleanest, most authentic option is **Shastrys Cafe**.

What to Pair with Buttermilk (Majjige)
Walkers often pair their cup with a light breakfast:
Idli with fresh coconut chutney: — soft, warm, easy on the stomach

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 Buttermilk (Majjige) for delivery instead of dining in?**
Yes — on Zomato, Swiggy or Ownly. Search **Shastrys Cafe** on either platform and add Buttermilk (Majjige) (₹20) 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.
