On a recent road drive through Kolar, we made a detour to Kolar Gold Fields, once famous across the world for its gold mines. The mines have long closed, and the town is now a pale shadow of its former glory. What has endured however is a bakery that first opened in 1880 and still continues to dispense its baked wares in an old school tradition that harks back 143 years! I met its fourth generation owner and also tasted many of the scrumptious treats on offer that are still popular with the inhabitants of this verdant town 70 kilometres from Bengaluru.
Hope you enjoy this one. Take care; stay safe and strong. Happy eating!
Note: I enjoyed most of the baked treats on offer. Standouts for me though were the veg puff, muffin (dilpasand), coconut biscuit, spicy cookies and plum cake.
Biscuits are priced at Rs. 30 for 100gm, the puffs and muffins at Rs. 13, and a loaf of bread, Rs. 30.

My mother, Mrs J.Syed Hussain has worked very hard for the bakery. She has grinded Sugar with her hands, made garam masala using mortar and pestle not mixer and grinder, just to retain the traditional taste. My mother has been a great support in running the Bakery. Mr Ismail is handling the bakery single handedly only from 2005, Till then my father was running the Bakery.
God bless you ...n all
Good to Hear you fathima.
I can vividly remeber Hussain with his curly hair and quiet demeanor. As a young man when Mr jaffer and Mr Jaypal were running the bakery!
Thankyou Ma'am and Sir. I'm grateful that you remember.
@@dr.murthy4048 Thankyou so much for remembering my Father and Grand Father. I'm very Grateful to you.
Hi Krupal,
I'm from KGF and indeed Ismail is very humble and warm welcoming person whenever we visit the bakery. The snack is very tasty and good. Thanks for your video really loved watching it. 🎉
I also remember we used to clean Raisins and Cut Cashews in huge quantity to make plum cakes Especially for Christmas and New Year. Making Cross Buns. It was a big Celebration for us during Christmas and New Year. The Entire bakery would be illuminated with Lights and Cakes of different colours and Designs. It was a feast for the Eyes and our tummies too. Golden Days. Will always miss those days. I love my KGF, my Love and Favourite Destination.
Worth a visit to KGF BAKERY. The people cook one of the simple & best food. All due water in the soil. I think still the water has not spoiled the entire Kolar district. My mother was born & brought up in bangarpet. She brought cooking skill to our house from that soil.😊
Mr.Syed Hussain's Wife used to make masalas for the puffs and masala biscuits, they used to prepare masalas with hands in large quantity as the buisness was very good those days. She used to cut, grate and grind everything manually as there were no machines like what we have today. Nowadays peeling, grating, grinding, Everything has become so Easy, but it was not like that in the good old days. My mother used to get lunch for my father and Run the Bakery for the Remaining Half day till Night. My mother would walk from Andersonpet to Champion Reefs to give lunch to my Father and help him in the buisness.
Thankyou so much.
Mr Ismail is so humble and contented guy.. Always love his muffins.. ❤
This is probably one of the oldest bakeries in the country but I'm sure Goa, Surat, Kolkata, parts of Tamil Nadu, and perhaps even Bombay have older bakery traditions, or at least ones that are fairly concurrent. Right now, the oldest one I'm aware of is Dotivala in Surat which is probably the origin of the nankatai
Good Morning, Sir
I am Ravi from Kolar Gold Fields. Thank you very much for visiting KGF and the Bakery.
Ismail is indeed a kind,humble and a warm hearted person. I have been a long time customer of his bakery. I catch him regularly on my early morning walk at a park close to my home. I am glad you visited his bakery and tasted those yummy biscuits , puffs and dil pasand.
❤Warm regards
Ravi KGF
Kolar is more Telugu or Kannada?
You are welcome, Ravi, happy to learn of your connection to Ismail.
@@shashanknarayan5929
Kolar is 90 percent kannada
Whereas KGF town is 70-80 percent Tamil remaining Telugu
And KGF rural 90 percent Telugu and remaining Kannada
@@Karthik-cg1dd even Urdu is also peeping
@@shashanknarayan5929 kolar is mostly Kannada, second highest spoken being Telugu and Urdu ofcourse by Muslim population, KGF has large Tamil population... That's Kolar district😀
KGF was a strong anglo indian concentration....sadly those glorious days are over from the sixties.
Btw....mr ismail has a great smile!
Feels like Mr Ismail is the mirror image of Mr kripaal in terms of straightforwardness and honesty
Good episode loved it😊
The coconut biscuits and muffin is must try, will not find anywhere. Thank you 🙏
Kripal - have you seen such a bakery in London ? 😂😃
Revived my childhood memories. The muffins are the best I have had.
Mr. Ismail is one of the most humbling person I have ever seen. He being a Saab, calls you “Saab”. Thank you brother Kripal for showing this dil pasand bakery ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Dotiwalla Bakery in Surat City, Gujarat State was founded in the year 1861 is considered to be the oldest Bakery of India. Before 1861 it was run by Dutches, so it is also known as Dutch Bakery by locals.
Thanks for showing us the old bakery ..the vibe from old style mesh door which i use see my grandparents house is pleasing
My pleasure 😊 Thank you, Mohammed.
Kripal sir watching your video now with my 5 years old daughter and she wants those items 😂😊
140 years old and still as good as gold!!! that's the line which hit me :)
Old is gold like kolar

Kripal sir amazing beautiful vlog of century old imperial bakery at kgf ? Humble owner ismile who is continuing his grandfather business venture reminding of good old British era and explain each and every bakery products and its proces and what material used very nice vlog really enjoyed ❤
My mother's native is KGF.I ate dilpasand of this bakery at a younger age.Recently I ate that.They still maintain the taste.
I wish that Gold Mines may Start Again and Our KGF will glitter again and gain its Charm and beauty Again.
Thanks kripal for introducing this gem to your audience. Will explore this on coming sunday
A bread 🍞🥪@30/- ? We are paying here even in the small villagesRs50/-😮 As you told the rates in the KGF backery are also age-old.😊
Mr. Ismail didn't mention Mrs. Asma Fathima Kauser, daughter of Mr. J Syed Hussain. When things are being said they need to be accurate 😇
It Would be great if you pin this comment Kripal Sir.
Yes, pin this comment
People need to know about this
Mr. Ismail Khan is not the fourth generation of the Bakery Owners. He is nephew of Mrs J.Syed Hussain, the real Owners and who have worked so hard from generations to accomplish this.
ಕನ್ನಡದಲ್ಲಿ ಮಾತುಗಳು ಇದ್ದಿದ್ದರೆ ಇನ್ನೂ ಚೆನ್ನಾಗಿ ಇರುತ್ತಿತ್ತು
One of the best episodes of FLT! As someone rightly mentioned, I-smile :)
I born and brought up from KGF… requesting to visit the house at oorguam and five lights house and this should be would without food block and the food been prepared at each Bungalow is the the true love for human at our KGF… I would recommend to visit the house at five lights and Endaress with oorguam
Very happy to see you visit my home town, however you referred to it as Karnataka Gold Fields…also curious why you speak to people in Hindi? Why not Kannada?
😂😂 He's a Urdu speaking Muslim. Better to speak in Urdu than broken Telugu/ Kannada
KGF people speak fluent Kannada, Telugu, Tamil & Urdu. Once it was cosmopolitan place. Many Anglo- Indians scattered
People like Ismail are Gold , so KGF still has Gold which are it's people and their simplicity ❤❤❤ Love Love Love 😘 thanks Kripal Sir for discovering the real gold as always.... Cheers & Love
Vikram
True!
Seems, Mr Ismail has not just held on to the culinary traditions of his forefathers, but even their conservatism in pricing the products...!! 🙂
He is laier
Sir, Mr. Ismail Khan is not the son of bakery owners. I couldn't run the Bakery because I'm the only daughter of Mr.J. Syed Hussain. We are Syed and Mr. Ismail is Khan and he's my cousin.
Kripal sir..kolar alli eddiri..kannada basheyalli matadsi... English..n hindi..comman languages..yellaru matadtare...swalp namm kannadanu erli...
Why I see these comments from Kannadigas? Live and let live others.
@@shashanknarayan5929😂😂😂😂
It was heartening to see you covering Ismail and their iconic bakery.
KGF has many such memorable stories. A well planned self sufficient town providing employment, education, housing,food, water to its workforce I believe in it's peak was more than 25,000.
Wherever we maybe, KGF and it's wonders kept alive by people like Ismail will remain inside our hearts.
A big thanks to bringing the video to a larger audience.
I have been here.. a traditional bakery started for Britishers before independence
Great fan of you sir.. Iam from Kgf thanks for being there and explored our old place and bakery..❤
Great 👍
Food cooked with passion will be good. Commendable that Mr. Ismail has carried on the traditional way despite the challenges.
Should support such old Establishment ❤
I am pretty sure that this is not the best bakery Food lovers Tv has visited. But the vibe of the place, the chill laid back energy of the entire episode was fantastic. Not to forget the simplicity of the owner Ismail and the customers 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
@@malikam337 would you like to elaborate?
Thank you so much for making this video. The video is well overdue. Absolutely thrilled to see this video. Brought back so many childhood memories my dear old KGF and of this bakery. It was a lifeline and the most loved bakery. Lovely video. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
YES I KNOW HIS FATHER AND GRAND FATHER THERE PRODUCTS ARE GOOD .THESE PEOPLE ARE HUMBLE AND FRINDLY. EVEN ENGLISH PEOPLE WHERE LIKING THERE PRODUCT.
So finally, you upgraded from your old iPhone 8 plus! 😅
But what a humble man. I loved this episode. Thank you, Kripal!

It must be a landmark now after Mr kripal visit

I have regurally visited this bakery and uddandiyamma temple during my college days ,my hostel was located near this bakery.This uncle is very humble person.
Nope. DVP Bakery in vellore has been operational since 1875
🙏 Thanks Kripal Ammanna Sir for this Video.
Mr. Ismail is a Zem like person. Products from this Backery is re@lly good
Mr.Kripal Amanna good morning sir. me to is from K.G.F nice to see your vlog. Kgf lost all its glory after closing of the gold mining.
So nice in kgf bakery iam from kgf
Thanks Kripal for introducing us to this foodie's gold. Will make a visit some time.😊
Great mashalla
Ismail s smile is great 😊
The honesty and humility of his heart is evident in his smile! He carries on his family's legacy without perhaps realizing that he is part of the early contemporary/Colonial Indian history! This is what sustains businesses for generations, apart from the food by itself. His inner contentment and happiness makes him TRULY rich, and all the wealth in the world combined would fall short before his richness! Thank you Ismail bhai for your service!
Thanks Kripal Amanna for taking me back to my childhood days when we used to go regularly to the Imperial Bakery for the fresh treats! It's a regular pit stop on our travels to KGF even now! Thanks for putting the Imperial bakery on the culinary map! 🙏🏽
Good work Kripal. I am sure this video will bring more customers to the bakery.
Ubantu 🙏🏾
Thanks for coming to kgf
Just got feeling after how famous this bakery could have been in those golden days ... KGF nostalgic
After last big gold vein went dead in the 1970s at BGML, the whole township went to seed, the Australian , South African and British expats working the mines left . The Anglo Indian miners migrated to the Persian gulf, Taiwan, Australia and Canada and the Indian labour left helpless . I visited the old hospital dormitory at BGML, it takes you back 100 years . Truly the end of an era!
Nice video
Thankyou you bhai for this wonderful experience
My favourite bakery ... ismail uncle is very good
Glad that Mr. Ismail is still trying to keep the age old practices of baking items. Prives are too low. I love the simplicity of Mr. Ismail. May god bless him for lots kf success.
Wonderful Kripal... A question, why your Kannada language vanished and Hindi took priority? KGF is in Karnataka? I always enjoy your Kannada and presentation
Excellent ismail bhai👍👍👍
Thank you for showing us this gem. 😊
Please correct the google coordinates It’s showing wrong place.

Stay blessed ismail bhai..thanks alot for this superb vlog amanna bro🙏
Super Food Sir 🍗🍗🍗
Thank you 😋
The owner can be more enterprising by adding a tea/coffee counter. Additional revenue stream for him.
He does have a tea counter, the person manning it was away during our visit.
Egg puff must have been great , those old recipe egg puff
