Atithi - Pure Vegetarian Family Restaurant — Restaurant in Karnataka

We had been to Athithi for lunch today with our family. The service was decent. We had ordered 3 south Indian thalis along with North indian food and starters. My 3 year old daughter took little Rice from one of the thaalis and we requested for little curd. They gave us a big bowl of curd and I told I just need a small cup like in the thali and returned the big cup.

We got our bill and we see that they had charged Rs. 30 for a small cup of curd(about 2 tbsp of curd) The South Indian Thali costed Rs.125. But a small cup of curd was Rs. 30 When we questioned the person who took our order he said it's chargeable and I'm totally OK with it. But when I questioned why Rs.30 for a small cup of curd and thali is itself is Rs. 125 to the cashier / manager he was very arrogant. He was responding very ignorantly and when I said I will post a review he said you post it wherever you want and this is how it works. It's not about charging but it is about his attitude towards the customer. We are tourists here to Shimoga and we had a very bad experience here. The Name of the restuarant is quite misguiding after what we experienced. Also I didn't want to pick this point but because of the manager's behavior I would like to mention that they even charged 10Rs extra for 1 litre Bisleri water bottle as well. I'm attaching the picture of the manager who was rude and...

We decided on Atithi after googling for vegetarian restaurant and going thru Google reviews. And yes, the reviewers are right! Located within the city, yet in a very calm & quiet atmosphere, we just loved the setting! My wife and I had a great lunch today. The 'Mangaluru Bun' we ordered was piping hot, extremely tasty with the chutney it accompanied... The items in thali lunch (south and north) were enjoyable.... The menu list too is quite long, offering choices... Very spacious restaurant, very neat and clean.... The staff were very well mannered. The wash room, toilet facilities are top notch. And there is a mini aquarium too, housing a vividly colored solitary 'Flowerhorn Cichlid' ornamental aquarium fish! Only regret we had was that we couldn't sit at the lawnside tables to enjoy the lunch (I was told it opens only in the evenings...). Overall, full marks! Keep it...

Very nice vegetarian food restaurant. Sat in the family section by the entrance. Very nice ambiance, due to the natural open wall seating surrounded by greenery on one side. The service was good and the steward was great Food was mild with very good taste and nothing too spicy . Lemon dry babycorn - Nice tangy taste with crisp bbycorn. Paneer tikka- excellent taste with well marinated paneer pieces Masala papad- right amount of spices and veggies Veg kadai and aloo matar- very nice and simple accompaniments for tandoor roti. Mild spice and good thick gravies Dal tadka wit rice- great combo ,even better with jeera rice Lemon soda- best juice, with the right amount of sugar ,salt was little less

Food feels really savoury and delicious. Slightly on the expensive side,but great experience if you sit in the family...
