Living in Central Bangalore, we often think we have everything we need, so we rarely venture beyond our 5 kilometre bubble. However, whenever we make it to SoBa (that’s South Bangalore, in case you didn’t know), we always make a point to visit JP Nagar (the other area being Jayanagar) because there are several spots we enjoy hanging out at. These places serve up great craft beer, delicious coffee, and more. In no particular order, here are some of the best restaurants in JP Nagar that guarantee a good time.
