Pure Veg, Pure Brahmin, Right on the Road
Railway Parallel Road runs through the northern Bangalore corridor — Hebbal, Kodigehalli, Thindlu, Vidyaranyapura — connecting residential neighbourhoods to Phoenix Mall of Asia and Bellary Road. Most evenings, this road is dense with commuter traffic and very light on dedicated pure-vegetarian dinner restaurants.
**Shastrys Cafe** is the exception. Open 5:00 PM to 8:30 PM, six days a week (closed Sundays), serving authentic Karnataka Brahmin cuisine — 100% pure vegetarian, no garlic, no onion in cooked dishes.
Location
No.880, NTI Layout, 2nd Phase, Rajiv Gandhi Nagar, Kodigehalli, Bangalore – 560097
From the road, take the NTI Layout turn-in off Railway Parallel Road. The cafe is on the 2nd Phase side, a short entry from the main road.
