Local Tips for Bangalore
- Download Uber or Ola taxi apps - they're more reliable than hailing taxis on the street and show upfront pricing
- Try authentic South Indian breakfast at Vidyarthi Bhavan (dosas) or Brahmins Coffee Bar (filter coffee and idlis)
- Traffic can be heavy during rush hours (8-10am, 6-9pm) - allow extra time for airport transfers
- Most restaurants don't serve beef or pork - chicken, mutton, and vegetarian options dominate menus
- Carry small denominations of rupees for auto-rickshaws and street vendors who often can't change large notes
- The metro system (Namma Metro) connects major areas and is cleaner and faster than buses during peak hours
- Bargaining is expected in markets like Commercial Street and Chickpet - start at 30-40% of the asking price
- Many pubs close by 11:30pm due to local laws - Brigade Road and MG Road have the best nightlife concentration
- Book restaurant tables in advance for popular spots like Toit, The Permit Room, or Koshy's Bar & Restaurant
- Dress modestly when visiting temples - cover shoulders and knees, and remove shoes before entering
