Introduction

Nagarabhavi astonished me when I first visited it in 2022. The locality was good, spacious and cleaner than other parts of Bangalore. Also, it had a lesser number of outsiders and more number of locals. I loved the place for its vibe.

Origin of the Name

After some research I realized that the name Nagarabhavi comes from 2 words: Naaga and Bhaavi. Naaga means Cobra or Snake and Bhavi means a Well. Maybe in old days Nagarabhavi would have had lots of snakes and hence the name Naagarabhavi.

80 Feet Road

I visited the 80 Feet Road and realised that there are 3 bars in close proximity i.e., Cycle Gap, Stories and Sky Lark.

Update as of 2026: Now there are 2 new bars: Skyro near Stories and Shelby near McDonald's.

Veg Restaurants

There are two main vegetarian restaurants namely Nammora Thindi (more popular) and Nammane Upachara. I like the names of both these.

Nammoora Thindi means:

• Namma - Mine / Ours
• Ooru - Village
• Thindi - Food

Which when combined becomes - The food of our village.

Similarly Nammane Upachara means: My home's treatment.

• Namma - Mine / Ours
• Mane - House / Home
• Upachara - Treatment

Nearby Places, Colleges & Schools

There is a nearby place named as Mallathalli or Mallathahalli which also has a Homoeopathic College.

A popular college named Ambedkar College is also there near Kengunte Circle.

Also there are 2 popular schools here namely Bachpan Play School and Aryan Presidency School.

Places of Interest in Nagarabhavi

Personally I love the Zen Park, popularly known as Buddha Park located in Nagarbhavi for its location, serenity, sculptures and Japanese theme.

I read a post about Nagarabhavi being an underrated place in Bangalore and trust me the redittors wanted it to be an underrated place to protect it's charm.
