Bengaluru Airport expands dining options with iconic CTR, Rameshwaram eateries
Bengaluru: Bangalore International Airport Limited (BIAL) is set to bring two beloved Bengaluru food joints to its terminals. Rameshwaram Cafe will open in Terminal 1, and the famous Central Tiffin Room (CTR) will greet travelers at the arrivals area of Terminal 2. "Our mission is to showcase the best of Bengaluru’s culinary heritage," a BIAL source told Moneycontrol.
Currently, the airport features popular South Indian eateries like Hatti Kaapi in the T2 lounge, Ooru Canteen in T1 departures, and Maiyas in T2 departures.
CTR, also known as Sri Sagar Hotel, has been a culinary landmark in Malleswaram since 1920, famed for its signature benne masala dosa (butter masala dosa). A go-to spot for both celebrities and locals, CTR’s legacy continues with its new airport outlet.
Rameshwaram Cafe, which opened its doors in 2021, has quickly become a favorite for its generous use of ghee (clarified butter). Named after the birthplace of former President APJ Abdul Kalam, it’s now a must-visit stop for travelers passing through Bengaluru. However, pricing for these new outlets at the airport has yet to be revealed.
In March 2024, Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah inaugurated two Indira Canteens at the airport, including one near the P7 parking area. These canteens, which offer affordable meals (breakfast at ₹5 and lunch/dinner at ₹10), were introduced in response to cab drivers' demands for low-cost dining options.
Bengaluru’s Kempegowda International Airport now connects to more than 100 non-stop destinations and ranks as India’s third-busiest airport after Delhi and Mumbai. Since its opening in May 2008, the airport has handled over 300 million passengers, achieving this milestone in December 2023. Canadian billionaire Prem Watsa’s Fairfax Group holds a 64% stake in BIAL, with Siemens Project Ventures owning 10%. The remaining 26% is split equally between the Karnataka State Industrial & Infrastructure Development Corporation Limited and the Airports Authority of India.
