When you return home after a Bangalore visit, the question you’re most likely to be asked is “Did you visit MG Road?” This rich and active area comprising MG Road, the intersecting Brigade road and nearby Church Street has been the pulse of the Bangalore metropolis.
Named after Mahatma Gandhi, M. G. Road is also one of the busiest roads in the city and is lined on one side with retail stores, food outlets and restaurants. It starts at the end of Cubbon Park at Anil Kumble circle, named after the state and the country’s best cricket bowler. At the other end of MG Road is Trinity Circle, flanked by high end hotels like the Taj and the Oberoi. Between these two ends are office buildings, shops, eateries and movie theatres.
MG Road has something for everyone. From coffee houses like the India Coffee House where you get good ‘Madras coffee’ to upscale restaurants like 13th floor, it offers many different kinds of cuisine. The ice cream parlors’ have some very tasty exotic options. For the book lovers, Higginbotham’s and Gangarams are the veteran bookstores of Bangalore city.
If you want to give your wallet or purse some exercise, take a saunter into nearby Brigade Road. Brigade Road is easily the busiest shopping area in Bangalore. It has several local and international brands and many eateries. Just off Brigade road is Church Street. Church street is quieter than MG and Brigade Roads and boasts of several restaurants and fast foods. Don’t miss the delicious Rossogollas at K.C. Das at the corner of Church Street.
