Sri Renukamba Bidadi Tatte Idly Hotel — Restaurant in Karnataka

Sri Renukamba Thatte Idli is not just a pit stop on the Mysore–Bengaluru highway; it’s a culinary landmark for Karnataka’s most iconic breakfast item—the thatte idli. Unlike regular idlis, the thatte idli here is large, flat, and exceptionally soft, served piping hot with a generous dollop of butter and a side of bold, earthy coconut chutney. It’s a minimalistic menu, but that’s precisely what works. The focus is razor-sharp: quality, consistency, and timeless taste. For many locals and travelers alike, Renuka Thatte Idli represents comfort food done right. It’s a place that prioritizes authenticity over ambience, and flavor over frills. You may not find air-conditioned seating or polished tables, but what you will find is a plate of food that delivers simplicity with soul. The vadas are crisp, the chutney has real body, and the overall plate feels nostalgic and deeply satisfying.

That said, cleanliness is average, and shared chutney containers may not appeal to every diner. Seating is basic and often crowded. Still, those who come here don’t come for the luxury—they come for a true taste of Karnataka.
