The Taste Bud Restaurant

You can find us over in the Vijaya Bank Building, tucked into No. 504 and 441 on New Kalidasa Road. This part of Mysore, especially around Vijaynagar I Stage, has a lot of life to it. We spend most of our mornings getting the kitchen ready before the sun gets too high. It is a lot of work chopping vegetables and getting the spices right every single day. We are not trying to be one of those modern spots with tiny portions and huge prices. We just serve food that people actually want to eat when they are hungry after work. The building is pretty easy to spot once you get onto the main road. Sometimes it gets a bit crowded during the lunch hour and the noise level goes up but that is just how a restaurant should be. We have got a mix of regulars who have been coming since we opened and new people who just moved into the area. The staff here mostly grew up around Mysore so we know what people expect. We do not do much advertising or anything. Usually, someone tells their neighbor about a meal they had and then that neighbor shows up a week later. That is how we like it. The floors get scuffed up from all the feet but we mop them down every night and start all over again the next morning. It is simple work but it keeps us busy and the kitchen smells good.
