The comments cited below are a sample of the full tally across 11 threads.
What people say, in short
City-wide recommendations for Cafe Bengaluru share one Alkapuri location. A commenter from Karnataka finds the food fairly close to home, and a diner returning from Bengaluru also enjoys it; another disputes its authenticity. One Alkapuri visitor describes eating khara pongal and ghee podi idli; other comments praise dosas. Coffee and sambar divide opinion: one diner dislikes both, while others defend the flavours. An Alkapuri visitor recalls a small, crowded restaurant. These reports do not establish the same experience at Bhayli.
