What people say, in short
Karnataka Food Centre in RK Puram Sector 12, near Moti Bagh metro, is the South Indian canteen many people call Karnataka Bhavan. They recommend it for authentic Karnataka-style dosas, which one says taste like Bangalore's, along with the ghee roast dosa, bene dosa and filter coffee; one has been going since the 90s, and another calls it tasty and cheap. Several visitors say quality has dropped, with watery sambar and bland dosas and chutneys.
