Serving customers who are in a hurry to get to work in the morning is one of the toughest things for an eatery of any size or stature to do. But brothers Anil and Raju have risen up to the challenge every day for the past seven years, all from their 5 ft x 8 ft stall in Kodandarampura.

The grinder constantly churns out dough for their main item, the thatte idli — a soft and sublime disc of steamed rice batter. The duo dish out over 250 idlis in a matter of three hours between 7 a.m. and 10 a.m., accompanied by a generous amount of chutney made of coconut and dry chilli, which you will want to lick off your fingers after you’re done.

Incorporating flavours from their home town of Kundapura, the brothers also serve excellent vadas and rice bhath.

Venkatesh, a regular here for the last two years, starts his day here as a matter of routine as he loves the consistency in quality that the place offers. With their idlis priced at a modest Rs. 8, Thatte Idli Tiffin Centre offers healthy and hygienic food, and an unusual concern for your schedule.
