Azhagi Restaurant, Hosur (Bangalore Road)

If you are looking for an hours drive and wouldn't mind driving into another state (carry your original vehicle docs), there is a good place in front of Ashok Leyland II on NH7.

Azhagi Restaurant is run by a family, and you can see all the interns and Adhiyaman college kids frequent there.

Pricing is very decent. We had Biriyani, Kuska, Chicken Kebab, Fish Curry, Fish Fry... Also they serve meals.

Just after MGR college after you cross Hosur Bus Stand, you will see it on the right.

Also helps to fill up the Petrol there @ Tamilnadu, as it is few rupees cheap per litre than Karnataka.

Nice Drive from Hosur to Bangalore

I have been taking my wife to Hosur MGR College since 3 weeks, over the weekend, for her MBA exams.

Road is super for the 42 kms, except for Chandapura and Attibelle (Athipalli) circle entrance and not to forget the junctions of Bommanahalli and Electronics City.

NRN has to do something to speedup the flyovers.

The return travel around 2.30 is a mess at Sparsh, RTO etc. Too much of work is going on. No lane dividers are there and for guys like me used to US roads, it is a mess. These slow moving trucks kill you!

For the same distance and 15 more minutes, you can avoid the messy traffic into South Bangalore and reach Bannerghatta Road, JP Nagar areas by taking a left on the Attibelle Circle and continue straight (dont take left or right) till you reach Anekal (you can visit your farmland, like I do on the way!) and take a right, to reach Bannerghatta via Jigani.

Smooth as Hemamalini cheeks, like Lalu said.

The Saturday morning drive takes 1 hour and 10 minutes in the normal NH7 route, while on Sunday it reduces by 10 minutes and I dont exceed 65 - 70 kmph as my car is new.

The return drive on NH7 is cool too! About 1 hour to reach Mysore Road junction at Silk Board. Then the fun starts of crawling.... on Saturday and while Sunday is cool.
