Established in 1944 by Ramakrishna Prabhu, New Krishna Bhavan has been a cherished spot among morning walkers and visitors to Malleshwaram.

The closure holds a deep impact not only on the culinary landscape but also on the lives of those associated with the establishment. "Before the pandemic, the staff strength was over 120," lamented one of the long-serving employees.

Expressing their dismay, residents of Malleshwaram took to social media platforms to share their heartfelt connections and memories with New Krishna Bhavan. The news of its closure evoked an outpouring of nostalgia, as patrons reminisced about their favorite dishes and the cherished moments spent at this culinary landmark.
