OG Variar & Sons Bakery, popularly known as Variar Bakery, traces its roots to 1954 when O Govinda Variar, a native of Kannur, Kerala, set up a small bakery in Guttahalli, Northwest Bengaluru, selling breads and buns. Eventually he moved to Rajajinagar in 1970 before opening a second bakery on Chord Road, West Bengaluru. What makes Variar bakery immensely popular with locals is its philosophy that “excludes artificial additives, preservatives and chemically bleached flour in its vast range of baked products.” As a result, “there is no shining in our items,” says second generation owner, Vijaya Shankar, who is currently on a quest to substitute, to the extent possible, detrimental fats with healthier options of unrefined oil, ghee, butter across most of their range, and in certain products, maida with wholewheat flour and grains. I spent the better part of a day exploring the bakery and tasting many of the must-haves at this institution that has spawned many imitators. Hope you enjoy this slightly extended, but toothsome watch. Take care; stay safe and strong. Happy eating!

Sir Why don't you make videos with youtubers of food making Rekha aduge, bhat n bhat and with other food making youtubers
Finally the wait is over. Thanks Kripal sir.
U went to variar and didnt taste their dil pasand...u certainly have missed the best dil pasand made in bangalore..
New thippasandra lv Iyengar bakery is 40 years old and one of the best bakery which also came in newspapers .... Must try
Nivu modalu kannadalli matadi idu Karnataka
I moved to Rajaji Nagar when I was 16..& moved out to several places in Bangalore & abroad. Today I am 68, living 45 km away from the bakery . I still visit Varier & carry products that last for 10 days. The ambience, the well groomed salesmen with clean shave, spotless white dress, the consistent quality standards, are truly iconic. Founder's son's commitment to uphold the high standards is God's gift to loyal customers like me
If it's lasting for 10 days then they have added calcium propionate , sodium benzoate and other preservatives , dnt be carried away sir ...
Always doubt
I'm impressed by how this Malayalee business family has fully integrated into the Kannadiga society. May ISHVARA bless you with more success. 🙏🌹
Irony is that our muslim brothers still trying to speak kannada with difficulty ( only for those residing in Bangalore)
@@ns7330 No hatred bro.. it's about commitment to the native language. Nothing else. Why do you think this as hatred instead of why you guys don't speak native language as malyali or tamilian speak?
@@ns7330 true that!
@@ns7330 Tamil muslim speaks Tamil, Kerala muslims speak Malyalam but Bengaluru( few districts of southern Karnataka also) muslims struggle to speak kannada. Hope you now understand what I mean. No hatred towards anyone. Northern part of Karnataka muslims speak and write better than southern part of kannadigas .
@@ns7330 i am not talking about religion but people. I am taking about kannadigas .. means who's ancestors were born in Karnataka and lived in Karnataka. Tamil muslims speak Tamil , malyali muslims speak malyali buy why karnataka muslims struggle to speak kannada??? Please introspect and come back. 🙏
My grandfather used to take me to this bakery when I was 6 years old whenever I used to visit Bengaluru as he used to live in Rajajinagara . It's been almost 18 years since I visited them. This video literally gave me chills and nostalgia at the same time.
💯👍
Meet your grandpa soon 🙏
@@srinivasbengalurumysuru You just pressed the wrong nerve Sri, he passed away 8 years ago.
@@vaibhavrao8564 🙏 🕊 😔
Yes sir i know how it feels, may his soul rest in peace i also miss my grandfather a lot.
The owner is passionate about food nutrition - happy to know.
Mr Variar is representative of the 'old guard' when integrity and honesty meant something. Glad to have seen this video. Cheers.
Many 90's kids fav destination..
This place is iconic.

Plss com to new thippasandra lv Iyengar bakery one of the best
@@varungowda2228 This bakery is big, grand and spacious...Space is luxury!!
Finally! Can’t thank you enough for visiting this iconic bakery! By the way the flour mill the owner spoke about is my Uncle’s Srinivasa flour mill right next street of the main branch of the bakery. They’ve been avid customers of the flour mill since they started the bakery back in 70 😊
That's nice to know, Rahul.
That's so awesome
@@sajeshnair8817 hello sir, where is your uncle's flour mill?please send the location.
@@veenagowda6289 please read the comment about uncle and flour mill, that was not made by me. See whom to tag before you make comment
That's such valuable info man.. The precise reason why I came back to this video was to refresh my memory about the flour that they use.. I think I shall try the flour from that mill as well
When he stops the use of margarine and vanaspati he will become the only bakery to be making the healthiest goodies . Thanks for covering this bakery and all the best to this creative genius.👍
Legendary veggie puffs.. never ever can forget the best veggie puffs. Miss it so much being away from india…
From Mangalore , but live in Canada and thanks to this episode , was able to communicate with the baker and they ship internationally.. so happy can eat nippat and other delicacies
Their Congress bun is iconic.And the almond chikki brings back memories of my childhood.And their dumrot is a classic.
Sorry got confused with another bakery.But Warrier Bakery biscuits and dilpasand is so yummy.Everytime I visit Rajajinagar I definitely go there.
You must be remembering VB bakery
That's from VB bakery of VV Puram. This is OG Variar bakery.
Beautiful technology and Cleanliness maintained....
Feel freshness of Air ...😃😋🤗
Owner has integrity personality so his products.so nice to hear kannada language from him.
If owners gets excited about explaining his goods even though he's doing that for decades..that means he's genuine af so are his goods.
I love this place. The fragrance from Variar bakery grabs my attention when I am going to Rajajinagar.
My relative home was there in Rajaji Nagar .. Whenever we visit there we buy rusk, bread, butter biscuit and bread, I was eating everyday evening .. lot of memories there 😍 varrier will be in special place in my life ☺️
I Love There Plum Cake n Spl Bun n Sweet Bread every Thing

Thank you Kripal for showing the most iconic bakery and most importantly wellness being thought by owner and will make a trip from North Bengaluru to West and visit this place. Must request such Owners to spread around Bengaluru.
Thank you so much for covering this kirpal sir.... I have spent all my childhood in Rajajinagar savoring the exciting cookies from this bakery....... though I have moved out now from Rajajinagar.... I still do not come back without the sweet and salt biscuits , milk biscuits and my favorite dilpasand 😍 whenever I visit Rajajinagar..... this bakery always brings back my childhood memories
I stay next to it for more then 45 years. Growen up with its products. One of the best and very best delicious products. Seen from its day of inception till date. Owner and staff well behaved. Let them grow with more with new innovative products.
💯
The most awaited video being a Bangalorean 💖 Thanks Kripal I had requested for this video a lot of times .. Feels so good to see the interiors of the oldest and my favourite bakery of Bengaluru ❤️
💯...this video was waiting for a very long time
Truly accepted
I have not only got recommendations to dine outside but I have also learned quite a bit of Kannada.
Awesome...so happpy to see this bakery flourishing. Lot of childhood memories . Been having their delicious snacks since i was 4 yrs old.
My all time favorite is their sponge cake.
This wariyar community is known for their ayurvedic treatments. I now understand that they are in backery as well. Congratulations.
I can bet on the genuinety of the owner. really appreciate sir
It's is one of the best Bakers in Bangalore
Yummy ymmy healthy
S, 👍when i visit my mom, i never miss visting varior bakery to buy bread, rusk , puff & biscuits. Excellent taste.
Favorite bakery.
It's a perfect example how one can flourish their business with authenticity, keeping public's health in mind . Otherwise we find adulterated items being added to make money n fame. No wonder they r able retain the customers from so many decades, generation after the generation... It's not a small achievement indeed.
OG VARIAR & SONS bakery is superbbbbb in quality ... I used to drive many KMs to get stufff from this bakery
3 items 10/10 kya bat hai
I am regular customer of OG Variar Bakery, Post office road , Rajajinagar !! :) Plain cake is all time favourite !!!! You must taste Plain cake only.. thumba chennagiruthe taste !! .Its simple and Awesome ! !!!
This is the only Bakery my Dad, Mom, Sister and myself prefer to eat our favourite bakery items. Especially to that plain bread or salt bread.
My favourites are Veg puff, Sweet plain bread, Plain Bun
The sweet n salt biscuit and the plain cake from this place is ultimate.

Wow, this is a jewel of Bengaluru. This is what I call honest business and it takes immense amount of ethics and will to do it.
So great to see that the Variar bakery still looks exactly the same as it did when I used to go there as a child. I still remember his dad
Very happy to see you cover the most popular bakery in Bangalore. 👍 I had visited it and it was quite crowded at most times
Great to see his healthy rich bakery items. I am associated with it for the past 30 years. My children are grown only tasting this mouth vanishing bakery items
Fantastic! This is one of your videos that I watched without skipping.
This bakery is a perfect example of the Bengaluru palate! :-)
My favorite bakery. I have tried a lot of their products when I was in Bengaluru. I still get it when I visit Bengaluru 😋
My Fav Bakery, When I was kid my dad used to get it often and this was my Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner, am 30+ years now I get it for my daughter & she loves it. A Must Try Bakery. It’s Emotion for me ❤️
Sir you missed to taste their plain cake. They are best
Next time, Deepak.
It's plain, Deepak.🙄
@@deepalisardesai110 🧐what have I written then?
Salute to owner for his concern for customers health, rather than just bussiness
Hi Kripal...such a clean..beautiful bakery..I could easil fly to Blr from S Africa..just to taste these baked gems
I first tasted Varrier bakery products at this very place whenever we visited my aunt and family who lived very close by. The founder was a genial, simple quiet man for whom service and quality came first. Customers priority was to get the product hot-off-the-oven - Varrier bakery products are still the best ever I have ever eaten. No other bakery products, I dare say even of 5-star hotels, came anywhere close to Varrier's natural, fresh, tasty stuff. I am so glad his sons are carrying on their father's legacy with the same simplicity, warmth and perfection.
super then i am going to visit this shop definetely
My favorite bakery in my place,
Wow! Happy to see the most awaited bakery....a must try ..
As a young adult I have spent my weekend evening hours grabbing most of the bakery products. I never ever enquired about the flour and the oil which they use in their recipes.
For 8 years I never thought there would be a process in which a bakery would make keen decisions regarding their ingredients irrespective of being in mass production.
Even 8 years from now we had to stand in queue for 20 to 30 minutes to get a orders delivered since they do not have a dining place we have to carry our food home.
Today after watching your video I feel this is a very important message for all the food entrepreneurs in case they want to create a legacy in their business model and the choice of ingredients will always speak about your product.
No fancy packaging no labelling just the product talks about itself that's how *Variar bakery* stand stall for the last 70 years.
They have been very specific when to add or not to add onions to their savory preparations. All their products have a very minimal life span.
Today sitting in my Mumbai home I miss relishing the sweet note of that sweet bread.
Butter biscuit, plain cake, Dilpasand and Cream roll 👌👌👌
Now taste has come down than before 25yrs back.
Other than above bakery food I have tasted rest in video.
this shouldn't be called just a bakery.....its an temple where food is worshipped.....great job....
Khara bun, toast, potato bun, etc., made me remember my old school times, when we were waiting for Saturday to come & having all these in the afternoon after school.
Kripal Sir, I guess you missed out on 1 famous item, which is RUSK. I have been tasting it for close to 30+ years and it has had the same taste since the beginning It is something which goes very well with your coffee. Not only the taste it has got a very good shell life as well. Even after 7 to 10 days also the taste remains the same (as long it is airtight or simply close the cover with a rubber band). Before pastries and ice cake came, we used to buy their HONEY CAKE as well.
Its there at 6:17...
based on my experience, the rusk you get here at Variar bakery is the best in Bengaluru, you dont get the taste in any other rusk anywhere.
Hmmm hmmm
True in 1975,I worked in a bank near the original Warriors Bakery...All my friends advised me to try their rusk..Even now when I pass thst side, buy rusk.
Rusk is top class of this Bakery, I can vouch for that, OG varier Bakery, rusk is the best 👍
Your channel is not only for food vlogs..it improves our english language as well 🔥🔥👌
Valuable extra Ordeneri OP variyar traditional item shop and factory jai hind👌
We stay in rajajinagar and my favourite bakery and everything is so yummy in this bakery thank you for uploading this video
We were just behind this bakery. Mr. Vijay shankar was junior student to me, in school.
Proud of you Mr. Shankar
Best Bakery in India. Lucky to taste all types of biscuits from my childhood. My favourite is coconut biscuit, fruit biscuit and the plain cake which melts like a butter. I am Customer to them for close to 25years where I give them a business close to 5K-6K every month. They are more like my morning breakfast and evening snacks. All products are top notch.
Very nice to see this review, which cherishes my memories since my childhood and even till date. , I have been visiting this bakery regularly since 40+ years to epecially taste the veg puffs and kara biscuit..... Nicely narrated Sir.
My mother's favourite bakery where I get all the best bakery items all the way to Abu Dhabi. What amazing items 😍
I am living very near to this legendary bakery for the past three decades and continue to be good over of their mouth watering products.
One great thing about this bakery is that their savories leave addictive and long lasting taste on your tongue and healthy repercussion on our body.
I get frequent enquiries from travellers not only within Karnataka but also from different States about where this bakery is located. I have many Rajasthani and Gujarati friends whose luggage involve invariably Varier bakery products - as per the wish list OF their relatives/friends from their native State !
Minblowing delicious tour keep it up

What a start of the year.....Most awaited Video 😍😍 Coconut biscuits is my all time favorite 😋 Thank you Kripal for making our weekend blissful 👏🙏
Big Fan of your Vlogs!!!
Loved the coconut biscuits too, Nishchitha, happy weekend! 😀
Mouthwatering
Glad to see you reviewing this bakery. We stay hardly 100 mts from this place and so I have grown up eating bakery stuff only from this place. May be we are so accustomed to their products that I literally don’t enjoy eating from any other bakery.
This is the best episode on FoodloversTv. Kripal Sir you nailed it 👏👏👏
I never knew that watching your videos(which I enjoy a lot) would also give me good educational value. I am a huge fan of bakery products and never knew margarine is one of the main ingredients that goes in. Thanks to the owner at OG variar who is trying to change the way bakery products are prepared
Beautiful video.. A lot information.. Well planned visit..
In Starting of the video..i was little surprised to see Kripal bhai wearing white shirt and white inner.. Ha ha.. But later it was cleared..
"Bekary Dress Code"
Super , and i like u when you taste the way of food
Very Informative video. And great to know that eateries are now providing food products which uses ingredients that are non-refined (whole) grains or are without additives. Keeping not just happiness but the health of the customer in mind as well.
The owner is so humble and down to earth .
Plum cake in OG Variar bakery is my all time favourite 😍 Brought back my childhood memories where we used to spend summer holidays with grandparents in their house in rajajinagar 😍 OG variar bakery is an emotion
This is a great Bakery, the products are good, tasty and Hygiene. The great thing about the owner is he reacts very quickly on the customer feedback.
Love your passion for good food and emphasis on tradition, while drawing the difference between the older taste and the new. You are the true teacher and chronicler of the food of our great nation. May your tribe increase, Kripal Sir 🙏🏼😊
You just won me over with your Kannada usage.. felt real good and proud. Thanks. Lastly, there were so many other items like rusk, sweet n salt biscuits, butter n cashew biscuits, milk biscuits, and the classic sponge cake etc. were missed out.
Will return to taste the ones I missed, Vivek, happy you enjoyed the episode.
Amazing. Very nice items. Mouthwatering. The owner is doing a grett job. The workers also very nicely working. Very neat and clean.
The sponge cake from this place is just out of the world. Never have I had a better sponge cake. We would pack huge boxes on our way back to Bombay
Agree
As soon as the video started and I saw the potato bun, memories came flowing in and a smile came through. We used to have the bun almost every alternate day during school days. Also sweet bread 😋. Thank you for this video
Happy this brought back some great memories for you.
From 1982 am having bakery products from here. Even now we get regular items once a week. Plain cake is so tasty. Great video Kripal sir.
