Sandowitch brings pocket-friendly, comfort food to Bengaluru

Sandowitch in Indiranagar is a choice to make if you feel hungry, undecided or just want a snack

Tucked away at one end of Indiranagar’s vibrant Walk-In Street is Sandowitch, a charming little place to step into if you are peckish. Though quite small with limited seating inside (the venue has open air seating too), the brightly done up interiors modelled in the style of a diner, are welcomingand going by the walk-ins on a weekday, it would seem the lack of space is no deterrent.

As the name suggests, Sandowitch’s USP is sandwiches, but they do serve wonderful sides and refreshing drinks as well. A huge plus in their favour is that the menu is well-balanced and caters to vegetarians, eggetarians and the perennial carnivore.

A seat by the window ensures we get a view of the ever-bustling 100-ft road and we sip on a peach please and guava lava as we wait for our sides to arrive. The drinks are a great boost when you come in from the sun.

The menu may not be extensive, but most items bear a sassy, tongue-in-cheek name. The shroom boom and falafel arrive and we dig in. These mushroom balls are quite yummy and it would be quite easy to lose track of how many you have enjoyed. Generously cheesy with spinachand an entire mushroom cap, you certainly do not feel short changed here.

Like most places in the city, the falafels at Sandowitch are made with chickpeas and not fava beans, and though they have been “Indianised” with the addition of onions and coriander, they cannot be faulted.
