Tiffin by Taj

Many BLR regulars skip the lounge buffet and pay Taj prices here.

Tiffin by Taj sits airside in Terminal T2 and gives you a real restaurant meal before long‑hauls to Europe or the US instead of another chafing‑dish dinner. This is Taj Hotels running an airport outlet, so think plated South Indian and North Indian dishes, proper filter coffee, and a slower, more polished service style than the food court counters nearby.

You’ll find it in T2 after security, on the departures level within the main retail and dining zone, so it works for both domestic and international flights using the new terminal. Expect higher‑than‑mall pricing: mains usually land in the ₹450–₹900 band, with tiffin plates and snacks coming in lower, and coffee or tea around ₹150–₹250. Figure on ₹1,000–₹1,500 per person with a drink if you sit down for a full meal.

Menu focus runs through classics: idli, vada, dosa, uttapam, and South Indian thali‑style plates, plus some paneer, kebab, and curry options that feel more hotel‑restaurant than fast food. Portions tend to be closer to city‑restaurant size than airport snack size, so one dosa plus a side is usually enough for a single traveler about to board a 9–10 hour sector. Expect standard Indian spice levels; you can ask them to tone down chilies on curries when ordering.

Service runs on restaurant time, not lounge time. Allow 30–40 minutes for a proper sit‑down meal from order to bill during evening bank departures, and 15–20 minutes if you just want a quick tiffin or coffee between domestic hops. T2 has reliable seating, but at peak waves on flights like BLR–LHR or BLR–FRA the tables here can fill and there may be a short wait to be seated.

Tip: if your long‑haul in T2 boards from a distant pier, eat here first, then head to the gate 35–40 minutes before boarding instead of hunting for food near the aircraft stands.
