Usman Dry Gobi (ಉಸ್ಮಾನ್ ಡ್ರೈ ಗೋಬಿ) — Restaurant in Karnataka

Every Mysorean who has visited the ‘Chat Street’ on Krishna Vilas Road, in front of Devaraja Traffic Police Station, would be familiar with the mouth-watering ‘Dry Gobi’ that is available hot and crispy every day.

People stand in queue to put their hands on the yummy Dry Gobi prepared by Abid and Usman, his son. The father-son duo recently won the ‘Best Street Food Award’ at the ‘Oggarane Dabbi’, cookery competition organised by Zee Kannada, a regional channel.

Abid was previously selling ball-point pens at Shivarampet before preparing and selling Dry Gobi. He has been selling dry gobi since 18 years. Earlier, Abid was selling dry gobi for six years at NR Road before moving to Krishna Vilas Road, now popular as ‘Chat Street’.

Speaking to Star of Mysore, Abid said that it was former Mayor D. Dhruvakumar, who gave him an opportunity to sell Gobi at the Dasara Exhibition Grounds and added that it was because of his help that day he was able to look after his family and it was yielding  good results.

Abid also expressed his happiness for his delicacy being awarded the Best Street Food- 2014 by Zee Kannada.

To prepare dry dobi, Abid uses around 15 kg oil and 100-150 kg cauliflower. Earlier, Dry Gobi was being sold at Rs. 10 per plate. But with the rise in prices of essential commodities, it is being sold at Rs. 30 per plate.

The cuisine is so famous that people from across India who visit Mysore come to Chat Street to tickle their taste buds with Dry Gobi. This apart, local MLAs, Corporators and senior officials also visit Abid’s Usman Dry Gobi Stall to taste the delicacy.

If you find yourself wandering the vibrant streets of Mysore, making a pit stop at Usmaan Gobi is a must for every food enthusiast. A small yet lively eatery, it offers more than just an exceptional dry Gobi dish that wins your palate with its delightful flavors.

What sets this place apart is the immaculate cleanliness maintained in every corner of the kitchen. Watching the meticulous efforts put in by the chef not just in cooking but also in maintaining hygiene is truly commendable. Your patience will be tested as the waiting time averages around 20 minutes, but rest assured, it's well worth it.

Managed by a warm and patient father-son duo, their ever-present smiles add a comforting touch to the whole dining experience. Their friendly demeanor and commitment to providing top-notch service make you feel right at home.

Though the eatery manages to excel in most aspects, it does lag a bit behind in embracing digital payment methods. As of now, they accept only cash, which might be a slight inconvenience in this digital age. But let that not deter you from experiencing the culinary joy Usmaan Gobi brings to the table.

In conclusion, the wholesome experience and delicious food at Usmaan Gobi is something I would ardently recommend to all my friends. It stands as a testimony to what passion and a smiling service can do to elevate the dining experience. A visit here promises not just a meal, but a wholesome experience that leaves both your heart and...

Update(1-sep-2024) Updating bcoz of so many hateful comments. For mysureans Usman gobi is an emotion, it was our adda growing up. We love the taste, so when PPL ask wats good to try we include this too in the list. Yes crowd management could be better, yes it might not b something ground breaking. I hv also felt like tat after going to a much hyped place in other cities and felt what's the hype all about. The thing missing is the connect, the history you have with the place. For Mysoreans who have grown up in the city Usman ll always b a spl place. Think about a place in ur hometown tat u r fond of u might get the connect.

I guess this one of the most famous eatery in town. They make one dish, and they are the best in business. Another great example of how you can run the show with just one item on the menu. I have never experienced a dip in quality or taste. The impeccable quality and the incredible consistency makes the dry dry gobi a delectable choice any day. This is a must dry(pun intended) for any foodie. Make sure you set aside atleast 30 - 45 minutes, you have to wait for atleast 15 minutes anyday, but the wait and the hassle is definitely worth it.
