What makes Koshy’s restaurant so special?

- Is it the history behind it?
- Is it the food? Appam or beef?
- Is it the laid back attitude?
- Is it the sugar bowl?
- Is it the checkered table cloth?
- Is it the kind of crowd it attracts?
- Is it the location?
First exposure to Koshy’s joint
My first visit to Koshy’s restaurant chanced upon me, the first glimpse of the hep crowd from Bangalore. At that time, smoking was allowed, and I looked at awe, on the sight of ladies who smoked with manly confidence.
Sights like these were new to my life, and I wanted to know more. As my life progressed in Bangalore, I soon got acquainted with a lady. Our initial rendezvous was all in Koshy’s over a glass of rum and fish.
Life moved forward, we spend less time in Koshy’s and started visiting many new age pubs and cafe joints. Each place comes with a story, but I feel none as old and peculiar as Koshy’s.
So, much has come and gone for this iconic restaurant. Started in the 40’s, Koshy’s has come a long way. People from the Emperors and to small time crooks(like me) has come to dine.
Koshy’s on the move
What’s the future for Koshy’s. Will it move bodily in the test of time, or will it still cling to the old tales that still hang on its walls.
I hope it moves with the change, at the same time retains the laid back warmth to all the patrons under its roof.
If you’re reading this post and looking for a coffee partner at Koshy, then don’t hesitate. During weekends, I’ll free to join for a coffee & chit-chat.
