Truffles, Indiranagar: The Burger Bengaluru Grew up On

“Portion sizes are big enough that two people can comfortably share one order. Nobody ever does, and everybody regrets it.”

• The immutable law of Truffles

Truffles is an American style burger and comfort food restaurant at Ground Floor, K P Square, 307, 100 Feet Road, Binnamangala Stage 1, Indiranagar, serving burgers, pastas, wraps, steaks and desserts in a bright space with contemporary art, known for large portions, fair prices and long queues.

Truffles occupies a particular place in this city's food memory. It is where a generation of Bengaluru teenagers had their first proper cheeseburger, where college students went when they had money, and where people who have since moved abroad make a point of eating within forty eight hours of landing.

The reputation is built on three things and it has not changed in twenty years: burgers that are actually meaty, portions that are genuinely too big, and prices that do not punish you for being young. One long standing description called it a haven for continental food lovers with small pockets, and that remains accurate.

So this is the practical guide. What to order, how to handle the queue, what it costs, where the branches are, and the honest caveats, because a twenty year old institution with multiple outlets is never uniformly excellent.

What Is Truffles in Indiranagar?

Truffles is a casual American style restaurant serving a wide variety of burgers, snacks and desserts in a bright space with contemporary art on the walls. The Indiranagar outlet is on the ground floor of K P Square on 100 Feet Road, and it is one of many branches across the city.

The original name was Truffles Ice and Spice, which is still what a certain generation calls it. The chain now operates across Koramangala, St Mark's Road, MG Road, Indiranagar, Banaswadi and 80 Feet Road, with the original outlets on St Mark's Road and in Koramangala.

The menu spans far wider than burgers. Pastas, wraps, salads, steaks, nachos, chicken poppers, breakfast items and a genuinely large dessert list. The burgers are what built the reputation, but the pasta and dessert sections are why families come.

What Should I Order at Truffles?

Order a burger, and if you are not having a burger, have the Alfredo pasta or a wrap. The American cheeseburger, the chicken double smash burger, the Alfredo pasta, the Tex Mex wrap and the fish and chips are the dishes that come up again and again.

• American cheeseburger. The one. Described by long time reviewers as mind blowing with a nice meaty patty, and that is what you are here for.
• Chicken double smash burger. The modern addition and a diner favourite. Two thin patties, properly griddled.
• Chicken Rocky Roads. A long standing house favourite that regulars name without hesitation.
• Alfredo pasta. Comes with two slices of garlic bread and is large enough for two. The most ordered non burger item.
• Tex Mex wrap. Arrives with a generous side of potato crisps. A genuinely good solo lunch.
• Fish and chips. Called worth five stars by one long standing review, which is a big claim in a burger restaurant.
• Nachos with cheese and salsa. The default table starter and consistently well rated.
• Ferrero Rocher cold coffee. Described as heavenly. It is essentially a dessert. Order it as one.
• The dessert wall. Ferrero Rocher, Oreo, Kit Kat, Dutch truffle, red velvet, Tres Leches and Mississippi mud pie. Pick one and share it, unless you have made bad decisions already.

What to be careful about: freshness of salads has drawn specific criticism, and delivery orders have occasionally arrived with items missing. Order the hot food, check the bag, and treat the salad section as optional.

“The menu descriptions actually tell you what the dish is. In a country full of restaurants naming things The Volcano, this is a public service.”

• A small thing Truffles has always got right

How Do I Avoid the Queue at Truffles?

Go mid afternoon on a weekday, roughly between 2:30 pm and 5 pm. If you pass a Truffles you will mostly see a large waiting line outside and a crowd inside, at almost any hour of the day, but the mid afternoon window is the reliable gap.

One reviewer describes walking into Truffles Indiranagar hungry at 2:45 pm on a public holiday, getting a seat immediately, and receiving prompt attentive service. That is the exact window I am describing, and it works because everybody else eats lunch at one and dinner at eight.

• Best time. Weekday 2:30 pm to 5 pm. Seat available, kitchen unhurried, service attentive.
• Worst time. Friday and Saturday evening. This is 100 Feet Road at peak, and the queue is real.
• Order delivery instead. Truffles has had strong home delivery for years, and a burger travels better than most restaurant food.
• Try another branch. There are outlets across the city. The Indiranagar one is not the only option and the menu is the same.

How Much Does Truffles Cost?

Truffles is among the better value sit down restaurants in Indiranagar, and value has always been core to the proposition. Customers describe it as a go to spot with consistently delicious food at fair prices, and prices are widely described as reasonable for the quantity and quality.

The real value story is portion size. Portions are large enough to be comfortably shared by two people, and a pasta comes with garlic bread, a wrap with a side of crisps. If you order one dish each for a table of four, you will leave with boxes.

Compared with the rest of 100 Feet Road, where 2,000 rupees for two is normal, this is the place you go when you want to eat properly without the bill becoming an event. That has been true for two decades and it is the single biggest reason the queues exist.

Is Truffles Good for Vegetarians?

Yes, though it is unquestionably a meat forward restaurant. The menu carries vegetarian versions across salads, wraps and pastas, and the dessert and shake sections are entirely accessible.

Several menu items are offered in both veg and non veg versions, including the salads, which is a sensible design for a restaurant that feeds mixed groups. The pastas in particular work well vegetarian, since the sauces do the heavy lifting.

That said, if you are vegetarian and choosing a restaurant purely on your own behalf, there are better uses of an evening in Indiranagar. Come here when the group wants burgers and you want to be fed properly rather than accommodated.

Is Truffles Still Worth It After Twenty Years?

Yes, with the caveat that any chain this size will vary by outlet and by night. Most experiences are described as excellent, with occasional issues around missing items or freshness, which is a fair summary of a high volume operation.

What Truffles still does better than almost anyone in Bengaluru is the specific combination of a properly made burger, a huge portion and a bill that does not sting. The city has gained a lot of expensive gourmet burger places since Truffles opened. It has not gained a better everyday one.

• For a burger. Still the benchmark, and still the honest answer when someone asks.
• For a group of students. Nowhere on 100 Feet Road does this better, on either portion or price.
• For a quiet dinner. Wrong place. It is loud, busy and full, by design.
• For a gourmet burger experience. There are newer, pricier places doing dry aged patties and brioche theatre. This is not that, and does not want to be.
• For dessert. Genuinely underrated. The dessert list alone justifies a visit.

Weekday afternoon, cheeseburger, share the dessert. Same city, new flavours, always.
