Sunday afternoons are for slowing down, meeting friends and eating food without worrying too much about your usual diet plan. Bengaluru is a cheat city with everything from crispy dosas and spicy biryani to burgers, pizzas, desserts and indulgent local favourites.
Whether you want to taste traditional Karnataka food or want to see Bengaluru’s current food scene, Sunday is a good time to treat yourself.
Start With a Classic Bengaluru Breakfast-Brunch
Even if it is Sunday afternoon, you can start your cheat day with a South Indian favourite. A plate of masala dosa with vada and chutney is an easy choice for someone looking for something crispy and filling.

As for the local, go for Bangalore-style benne dosa as it has a generous use of butter. Put it with chutney and potato palya for a comforting weekend meal.
Go for a Spicy Biryani Lunch
A cheat day without biryani seems incomplete. Bengaluru has a lot of options for people who enjoy fragrant rice, tender meat and spicy flavours.
Chicken or mutton biryani can be the centrepiece of your Sunday lunch. Add a side of kebab, chicken 65 or raita if you want to eat a more indulgent spread.

Try Bengaluru's Street-Food Favourites
If you want something casual, explore the city’s street-food culture. Bengaluru-style masala puri, pani puri, pav bhaji and gobi manchurian are popular choices when you want bold flavours.
A plate of mangalore buns is another option that you might try, especially if you love slightly sweet and fluffy South Indian snacks.
Burgers, Pizza and Loaded Fries
For a modern cheat-day experience, head for a burger or pizza. A juicy chicken burger, crispy fried chicken burger, or loaded vegetarian burger can easily become the star of your Sunday meal.
Pizza lovers can go for Margherita, spicy chicken toppings or loaded meat pizzas. You need to add loaded fries, cheesy fries or garlic bread to have a full indulgence.
Don't Skip Dessert
The best cheat day should end with something sweet. Bengaluru has a lot of choices including ice cream, brownies, waffles, pancakes, cheesecake and chocolate desserts.
If you like an Indian touch, try gulab jamun, kulfi, falooda or a rich milkshake after lunch.
Make Your Sunday Cheat Day Enjoyable.
A cheat day does not have to mean eating everything in one sitting. Pick one or two foods that you like and enjoy and don’t rush.
If you can have your dinner as one big food walk, or just share different food with friends or family, you can also do it.
From benne dosa and biryani to street food, burgers and desserts, Bengaluru offers food lovers lots of ways to make Sunday afternoon delicious.
