They were owned by brahmins and the cooks were brahmins. The restaurant was open to all. In some, there was a small area where the brahmins sat on the floor for eating; the main area had tables and benches for the rest (both brahmins and non brahmins). This was quite a few decades ago. now you will find only general area and family rooms.

My point is, such brahmin hotels with brahmin name boards had to lay low during virulent attacks by the EVR inspired goons. They are slowly making a re-appearance.

I have a question regarding these "Brahmin" restaurants. Were they Brahmin because they did stuff like used hing instead of garlic and therefore sold food that was acceptable for brahmins to eat or were they meant for brahmin patrons only?

@Balasubramanian. I see sarcasm and irony in your reply to this thread.
Your information is well accepted and I hope further posts in this thread will honour the topic of discussion.

Please do not take it otherwise. My view is not to wound somebody's feelings nor
it is mentioned in a sarcastic tone. The traditional food is normally liked by everyone
because it is mere passing of customs from one generation to the next. Any long
established method or practice followed in the Brahmin community has its own flavour
without adding any artificial ingredients. Now a days in all the medias, viz. TV, Computer
(On line) etc you get lot of recipe giving suitable instructions for preparing a food dish, snacks,
sweets, according to oncoming festivals, occasions, functions, etc explaining the details
containing the quantum of ingredients required, method of preparation, etc. Besides recipe
printed books, cards are available in the market for the ladies to do it and practice, before
expertise themselves. Hope the point is cleared now.

Over and above that, let me make it very clear. You normally find a board
out in a Hotel naming "Brahmin Hotel" these days in the urban areas. You will
only find Vegetarian Hotel. Only in a very few Hotels, Cooks are engaged from
Brahmin community. After catering technology came into popularity, there is
no choice of Brahmin being taken to Kitchen these days.

My god upon reading this EVR character sounds like one terribly dangerous zealot. I swear we live in a "24-hour BREAKING NEWS!" culture here in the US yet stuff like this never gets mentioned. Frustrating to say the least!
