Prashanth - The Gowda Delight


For all those who dig there teeth in flesh and still cant get enough and also for all those who swear about quitting meat while u are tearing that chicken meat away to glory, this is the local version of Empires.

Not for the faint hearted and vegetarian, Prashanth is located on Gandhi Bazaar main road. You need to be careful of the imitations and the original prashanth is in the corner of the road, just before roti ghar and its entrance is in a side alley, right next to a shady bar. Now this joint is not a place where you can land up with your girl. This is a strict guys only place and the ambiance is not much to talk about, though basic cleanliness is ensured.

This place is famous for its Mudde (ragi balls) and chicken and mutton curries and kebabs. Mouth watering and done it true Gowda style, these place is a great delight for any non fussy non vegetarian foodie, whose only concern is food. After some ragi balls, mutton chops and some rice and curry, at the end of the meal you are served with rasam (a south indian curry), unlike other places where they serve dessert. This is a hot drink, which helps in digestion. If you are a newcomer to the place, do check the bill once before paying. Not that they cheat, but its good to be careful.

Also be careful of duplication as there are quite a few of other prashanth hotels, but ask for the original. Most of the people you find here are regulars and localites who have known the place for a long time now. And if you are a veggie, im afraid, you are in the wrong place. You belong to the minorities over here.

So calling all ye carnivores, the strong hearted and the food obsessed , pay a visit and its worth every kebab the adventure.
