Gluttony on 12th Main

Gluttony, by far, is our favourite of the Seven Deadly Sins. The single vice we’re all guilty of – an intoxicating over-indulgence in food and drink. In tribute to both Gluttony and to Bangalore’s spanking new food district, we bring you a hyper-local guide to your weekend binge.

There’s something about Indiranagar’s 12th Main. Something about this once-residential street, now the groovy temple of hipsters, music aficionados and food lovers. Sure, Koramangala can lay claim to Food Street, and Lavelle Road quite literally gives everyone a run for their money, but 12th Main has quietly established itself as the uptown food precinct to eat and be seen eating at.  It still retains the old charm of stylish homes and artsy boutiques tucked away in unexpected corners, but there is a new undercurrent of pulsating energy; independent bubbles of space where musicians, artists, film-makers and food lovers congregate seven days a week.

We spent our weekend restaurant-hopping on 12th Main; breakfast to dinner, and everything in between. It wasn’t easy, pledging to this kind of gluttony. But we followed it through. And it sure as hell was fun.
