Nearly a century of military-hotel heritage.
From a humble Jayanagar kitchen in 1935 to a Bengaluru institution — our story is one of unwavering authenticity.



The taste of generations.
Shivaji Military Hotel has been serving Bengaluru since 1935, and is one of the city's most iconic destinations for authentic military-style cuisine. Our kitchen still follows the same slow, deliberate methods passed down from our founder — hand-pounded masalas, fire-tempered meats, and rice cooked the old way.
Known for our legendary Donne Biryani and traditional Karnataka recipes, we've earned generations of loyal customers through quality, consistency, and authentic flavours. Many of our patrons grew up eating here — and now bring their grandchildren to the same table.
We've never strayed from what works. No shortcuts, no compromises. Just real food, cooked with care, the way Bengaluru has loved for nearly 90 years.
