Thindi Beedi (Food Street) is synonymous with Bangalore street food. The lively stretch of Thindi Beedi at V. V. Puram, an old area in the heart of Bangalore, houses an array of street food joints offering everything from masala dosas to holiges.Apart from the variety of north and south Indian food here, the area is cheap.
