After serving dishes like button idli, green masala idli, masala dosa, and badam halwa for almost seven decades, one of Malleswaram’s landmark food joints, the New Krishna Bhavan, is ready to take its last order. The restaurant will permanently shut its doors on December 6.
Established in 1954 by Ramakrishna Prabhu, the restaurant was passed on to his son Sundar R. Prabhu and is currently owned by his son Sunil S. Prabhu. Like the ownership which has travelled across generations, the workers at the restaurant have also been around for just as long.
Mr. Prabhu said: “We have been in business for almost 70 years now, and we want to venture into different paths. We love this place, but honestly, we are a bit tired and exhausted. Our employees, who have served us for years, feel the same way. One of them is Ramamurthy, our 72-year-old cook who worked here for 40 years.”
