This is a list I can get behind. I will add

Co.Ba.Ja and Tom's on Brigade Road, roughly opposite to each other for some
genuinely tasty stuff if they eat meat.

Also Mangalore Pearl in Fraser Town, and Anupam's Coast2Coast for very good
karavali food.

And Sharief Bhai for the best of Bamgalorean Muslim cuisine.

I want to remind people that OP's question was about recommended places for
visiting European tourists who have had little exposure to Indian cuisine
to go to. The question was not what is the best place for some dish.
Implied in the OP's question was, IMO, a requirement that the place be
easily accessible to foreign tourists without freaking them out with
language barrier or perceived hygiene issues.

There are a dozen places I would go to in Bangalore for authentic, tasty
food over MTR. From street corner benne dosa places, to North Karnataka
food to TamBram food to mudde idli places, But I would hesitate to take
a foreigner with no previous exposure to Indian restaurants to many of
these. I.e., don't throw them in the deep end of the pool.

Love the original MTR in Lalbag.

Find CTR hugely overrated :-)

[Venkat Mangudi - Silk]

MTR is over-rated. :-)

CTR (there are two of them near Malleswaram) is better for dosas. Shree
Sagar (Central tiffin room - CTR1) is near the Malleswaram ground.
Chikkanna Tiffin Room (CTR2) is near the temple in Kumara Park. Both have
lip-smacking dosas.

Venkateshwara Sweets for Mysore Pak, Veena Stores for Idlis.

Other decent dosas are at Airlines Hotel, Konark on Residency Road and
Ballal Residency (also Residency Road).

Hope this helps.

Cheers,
Venkat

In Chennai Grand Sweets and Snacks is a good place to visit. Many of their
locations have a restaurant attached to them that serves decent, hygienic
South Indian food. They are also renowned for their, well, sweets and
snacks.

In Bangalore, surely MTR?

Friend of mine are probably (pending visa issues) visiting Bangalore and
Chennai.

They are both European, so exposure to Indian food is limited.

Recommendations for places to get local(ish) cuisine?
