The 21 best cheap eats in Shimoga

Quality of the food gone very low these days. Pepper egg dry doesn’t even smelled the pepper. My friend complained about the quality of mutton pepper roast. Egg roll was just above the mark. Egg rice is equivalent to the taste of road side cart. Management should bounce back to the good old days .

The hidden gem ( literally, easily not visible, we need to search) of Shimoga, exactly at the Gopi Circle. When we were searching for this Restaurant, we missed it initially because of the closed curtains but later enquired with the Sentry, posted near the stairs, whether the Restaurant is opened or not. It was in the first floor, the ambience was good and the service was very efficient. We have ordered a variety of items and the taste was very good. The Andhra Style Vegetarian Lunch, Biriyani, Starters and mocktails were all made with care. We will surely visit this Restaurant, when we visit Shimoga again.

Anmol Restaurant, situated at Gopi Circle in Shivamogga, offers a dining experience that leaves a mixed impression. The restaurant impresses with its delicious food and cleanliness, but it falls short in terms of service efficiency. The highlight of my visit was the flavorful tomato soup that kickstarted the meal. It was a tasty and warming choice. The spring rolls were also a hit, providing a delightful crunch and a burst of flavors. However, the real star of the show was the kulcha – it was incredibly soft and scrumptious. The mix vegetable curry was a basic yet satisfying accompaniment, rounding out the meal nicely. One notable downside was the prolonged waiting time and slow service. While the food quality was commendable, the delay in serving it can be frustrating. It's worth mentioning that the restaurant has a separate bar area, and both vegetarian and non-vegetarian options are available under one roof. The option to pack food on demand is a convenient feature for those looking to take leftovers home. I was pleased to have a gift certificate worth ₹250 from another establishment, which I could redeem at Anmol Restaurant. This added to the overall positive experience. In summary, Anmol Restaurant is a place to savor delicious food in a clean environment. However, the service could use improvement to make the dining experience more enjoyable. If you have the patience for slower service, the food here is worth a try, and the option to redeem gift certificates is a nice touch.

Crazy people. Water 20 but bill 29 rupees and the interesting part putting gst for water also . Nice fooling people

The food is really good and the atmosphere also . But service related if we go inside no one is welcoming customers . N if we go two and order simple food they are neglecting customers. N waiting for when the customer moves /go early like n AC also not works in all tables. Only one or two sides AC working not a whole table. in this summer it's horrible to sit without AC . In service related - No smile when they are servicing and when they are taking orders also. We like to appreciate Cook really wonderful food. Good taste.

Food and ambience are good, but the service is bad, we tried Andra meals with some starters. We received the order very late and after we were done eating half, we got the starters and when we are almost done eating then the server comes with ghee😅

One of the worst restaurants I’ve ever been to. Charging Rs 140 for an egg burji which literally has nothing but a single egg. Worst in taste and looting peoples money by over pricing everything. Biriyani is too oily and never would i suggest to anyone.

The Food was delicious..Good Ambience..The Service was excellent..Must try Shubham Special Icecream..I would highly recommend to visit this place.

The hotel was 4Starred..So visited this hotel when we were in shimogga and searched for good resto..around.. It was bit crowded when we went for lunch but luckily got the seating..In the AC Section.. Ambience was pretty good..with nice interiors and good seating with plenty of space..and a light music..👍 Lets talk about the food..we had hobi manchuri..and pulav..must say it was very tasty..I loved the hyderabadi biryani..❤️ Food wise yes I would visit to this hotel when in shimogga.. Service..was not up to mark for me..we waited for 20-30min for the order..while the people beside our table were getting served who were seated after us..😐 So a minus star because of the service.. Price was resonable according to the ambience and the food.. Good spot to have a vegetarian meal with your family and friends..

I had a great dining experience here. The food was delicious and well-prepared—the Gobi Manchurian (4.5⭐) and Mushroom Chilli (4.5⭐) stood out with excellent flavors. Babycorn Kasturi Dry (4⭐), Veg Special Handi (4⭐), Paneer Tikka Masala (4⭐), and Butter Roti (4⭐) were also satisfying. Service was quick, the staff were polite, and the ambiance was pleasant, making the meal more enjoyable. The only drawback was the washroom—it’s small and shared, with just one washbasin. Overall, a good place for tasty vegetarian food with efficient service.

I am RAJASHEKARA HV along with my wife Shobha. Very pleased to express my satisfaction at Shubham restaurant Absolutely an amazing vegetarian restaurant! The food was excellent. I am from Bangalore, traveling through, and was looking for a good vegetarian place for lunch—thanks to Google, I found this gem. We enjoyed very delicious food in a pleasant and elegant ambiance. Another highlight is their hospitality—simply unbelievable. A big thanks to the entire team at Shubham!

We accidentally bumped into Hotel Shubham... And the Taste, Quality and Service was Next Level... At 1st glance the Hotel from outside looks simple... My wife quickly read reviews standing outside Hotel Shubham... 4.6 it was and we bumped into it... We went on the 1st Floor and it was packed... 8:45 to 9:15 PM was waiting... We got the seat and the Rest was Fantastic... The Owner himself attended us from the Waiting till we got Table... He advised us the stuff we can try... And all were damn Tasty... He did give my younger one to play 1 puzzle which kept my kid occupied for 15 mins... He awarded them both key chain gift which I personally believe is a kind gesture...That's how one touches the heart... Overall, a must visit place in Shivamogga to have some really good food... Good Job Owner and Team...

Must try for lunch - Tomato soup, Baby corn kasturi Manchurian (lite on the tummy), Roti and butter kulcha with kaaju mutter gravy, Ghee rice, Chikku milkshake and Sweet and salt lemon soda.

Three of us Had been there. Very tasty food. They have a separate section for north indian food. Servers were very polite. Good ambience. A/c room also there separately. Auto stand was just opposite. Rates are surprisingly reasonable.It was 70 percent of what I assumed.

The restaurant has separate veg and bar restaurant. Food menu is good and taste was delicious. Staff behavior is very professional and seems they had well-structured hospitality training. Ambiance is another plus point. Best of all, the place is less crowd and hence your food will be served quickly. It is quite pricey than other few hotels, but given the consistency in taste and less-crowd the price seems total worthy.

We had stayed in Clarks hotel and got to know few restaurants are inside this. We had the buffet breakfast option. The breakfast was better but could be good. Panner Paratha, poori, sagu, bread, jam, butter, idlis, vadas, sambar, two types of chutney, set dosa, strawberry milkshake, water melon juice, tea, coffee, cut fruits, dosas. Service was worst. The staff dint inform us reg the menu also we had only to enquire about the breakfast as dosa was something which we had to order. The taste was not good as poori was made from maida, dosa was not crisp and was soggy, paneer partha had hardly paneer in it, strawberry milkshake had artificial strawberry flavour. When we had been to Rice bowl in the evening to have some snacks french fries were ordered and none were there in the reastaurant except us. There were staff who were chit chatting playing games who dint bother to serve as it took more than 25 mins just to bring a plate of French fries. The service is very poor.

Nice restaurant located within hotel Green View Clarks Inn, which is a number one hotel in Shimoga. Unfortunately, it is a vegetarian restaurant, also alcohol is not served. Ambience of the restaurant and service is good. I had dinner and buffet breakfast. The varieties for the breakfast is appreciable. Highly recommended for your visit.

Good Food!! This restaurant is located in the premises of Clarks Inn Hotel. It's a pure veg restaurant. Even though the cost is little on the higher side the food & Service is very good. Good experience.

Had Buffet. Very nice ambience and staff. Food was good too. Guys at the pasta and Pani puri counters were polite.

Spacious and good interior food is also good but little bit expensive it deserves the charges . Parking is difficult have to park on road side

Pure veg restaurant.. Good food and good ambience, they have good options for lunch and dinner buffet but breakfast buffet is not all that good.. If it was a complimentary one, I would have given it a pass..

While the service and ambience is good, the food falls awfully short. They didn't had any South Indian items for dinner so our group of 9 ended up ordering North Indian dishes and we immediately regretted it. The Veg Hyderabadi curry was green in color. Palak paneer was bright green with clear indication of added food colors. Phulkas were okay. The outdoor seating, service was top notch. The management should improve food quality.

We had lunch at Atithi , pure vegetarian family restaurant in Shimoga. Ambience/Atmosphere was good, clean and neat. We had ordered for Basundi, sweet, but it was not to our expectation. Regarding food it was good except for rasam which contained garlic. Service was good. They have separate AC hall and also for family outside tables are there. Sufficient parking space is also available.

The taste taste is not consistent nowadays. The place has good options in curries, and others have limited dishes to try. Service was quick, and ample parking space was available. The food was oily, and a few dishes were tasting different than what it was named. This place is a decent option for family visits as it won't be crowded, and getting a table is easy.

Very good vegetarian restaurant in the hotel Jewel rock. Food quality, quantity and taste was very good. They have non ac, ac and outdoor dining area. Limited parking inside the hotel. Service was excellent. They have clean rest room. Prices are reasonable. One can visit with family and within Shimoga city. We had Soup, boiled vegetables and phulka, Dal. They gave onion salad as compliment

Atithi is the now regular lunch point during my travels. Very first time, it was the availability of headache free parking which made me come here.Now it is both parking and tasty food. Nice and clean restroom as well.

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 section for dinner

Went there after checking reviews. Taste was good. But the service and atmosphere was in a mess.

Very bad stay .. rooms are ok but bed is not good even two people also cannot stay properly.. not good for family.. I strongly say don’t go for stay in this place with kids.. you will get irritation.. hot water also not available in the evening time.. if you coming from long journey you will get hectic stay won’t get sleep in these beds. See the pics .. within half an hr we went and asked for check out. Refund also didn’t get. Worst experience.. staff also very irresponsible.. overall worst..there reviews also paid reviews it seems.. before taking rooms go and check out.. 😡😡

Went for lunch here. Simple, good food and waiters are always helpful. Have stayed in their rooms here earlier. The rooms are really huge. For the price charged, it's a really great deal.

Nice decent lodging with ac non ac. Clean and comfortable. Very near to hotels has a their own food joint. Nice food @ reasonably priced.

Rooms are very good and clean. Very reasonable. Staff are co ordial.

Worst hotel in shimoga never visit, cashier is too arrogant with customers they don't know the manners how to behave with the customers never experienced such kind of arrogance in my life, literally they don't respect the customers. Worst i repeat

Rooms were faily maintained . Located in Shivamogga Town.Just used for 1 hr as we were travelling to other location.

Good place with decent parking space. Well enough maintained rooms and walkable distance to bus stand. Food is also good. Decent place to stay.

One of the best restaurants for North Indian dishes! The food was absolutely delicious and full of authentic flavors. The interiors have a very decent and pleasant ambience, making it a comfortable place to dine. Parking space is available outside, which is really convenient. Overall, a very good hotel and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great meal.

Visited hotel with family. Ordered manchow soup- it was excellent. stuffed crispy mushroom (taste was not good), tomato dosa was not that great. Lastly ordered kaju pulav- it was delicious 😋

Very good ambience and excellent, quick service. Prices are on the higher side compared to the taste, which is just okay—not particularly delicious. However, the restroom was clean and well-maintained.

Good one , ample parking available. Chutney and buns were too good. Coffee was kadak.

Same taste as any other paakashaala restaurants. South Indian thali was filling and tasty. Do try their tandoori items like paneer tikka which is good. Good place for a vegetarian. Evening chats are Little spicy untill mentioned to be less spicy. Parking available and service is good. Well maintained. Paan shop also available

Food was very good albeit a tad bit spicy (may be its personal preference, my family members were ok with it though). Very good ambience, excellent and quick service. We had ordered tomato soup, harabhara kebab, tawa pulav, veg kofta curry and some breads. The triple sundae was very good with vanilla, rose and coffee flavors.

These people say rates for ac and non-ac are the same and make sure you sit in AC. While the Bisleri water which all over India sells for 20 here they charge you 25 saying it's AC price! The staff is always in a hurry for order and doesn't let you enjoy food peacefully. Food is however good, and they customize if we need less chilli or any addition. The quality of the gravy could get better after you've had food they leave you with colour stains in your hand so definitely they have got some food colour there.

I went here as I was in a hurry. Worst food i could have had. Firstly there's no air circulation and sitting inside feels suffocating. I ordered dosa, it was very bland , the chutney was even worse. I wouldn't recommend anyone to visit here even during rush. Choose wisely and avoid this place

Food is full of oil , after i had the mushroom noodles i couldn't travel to Bangalore because of motions i experienced in the bus . I recommend to others not to order the food here , staff don't know how to behave.

As it's inside the bus stop so the main thing the customers expect is quick service and washroom. Nobody responds and there is only one guy who does quick service and rest all ignore if you are calling them. We ordered butter roti and paneer curry it was nothing but oily no taste nothing..and the washing area stinks so much and not at all clean and there was no water in tap we had to use the glass from vessel to wash the hands..it really needs to be improved atleast in this as it's inside the bus stop and they will be having the customers all the time. Such a bad experience with this hotel in Shimoga

The restaurant looks good but it ends there. Service is pathetic, they take forever to attend you and serve the food. We had Gobi Manchurian - which was burnt out and couldn't eat at all. Ver biryani tasted like normal pulav. The fruit salad with ice cream was small and poorly made. Please don't visit at any cost.

It's worst place...If u visit u will definitely get ur Mindss off its just hell in name of palace its too poor at service if ask for quick service then die there itself if u get ur food after ur bus passes away....that too not worth the time....If u wanna have some good idli go out of bus stop u will find on streets or aras hotel....Avoid this even out of emergency

One of the worst restaurant. I had been here twice but the staff ignores us and the taste was not upto the mark. Morning breakfast wasn't available here I guess it's only lunch facility here, coz last time when I went inside for breakfast they directly said me to go to some other hotel we don't serve breakfast. Service is extremely slow. Unfortunately Twice I had been for lunch as I was extremely hungry ( usually I avoid this hotel) but food was literally tasteless, am not being mean here but fact is fact

Pleasantly surprised when I found this restaurant for breakfast in Shimoga. Had been looking for some decent place to have good breakfast and found this on Google. Drove to the place to see that it was in a KSRTC bus stop. Made me think whether it was worth since all those restaurants near bus stops are pretty dirty. Still gave it a try and was astonished...It was spotless clean and well maintained. Service was good and so was the food as well. Had a Masala dosa which wasn't as crispy as it is in Bengaluru, however didn't disappoint in the taste. Puri's were slightly oily. Filter Coffee was awesome. The cleanliness was the big positive I saw there. Definitely worth a visit for people in Shimoga.

One of the best hotel for every day meal.. Small but neat and good.. Tea, Breakfast and luch are served here.. Only few peoples can sit and eat inside. And you can stand and eat outside the hotel..A special cold carrots juice is famous... Only few options in break fast and lunch, Morning tiffen rice items and idly Wada for the lunch you get only Rice, sambar and crude rice, along with mirchi pakoda or potato pakoda... On Saturdays only rasam is served... Taste is ok.. service is also ok.. Street parking for two wheeler and cars.. Not recommended for families going out..

Average taste & preparation. Economical

Eating here since I was kid maybe 20 or more years.quality is good.always full of energy .uncle and his younger brother work very hard.good taste and affortable.

Very good food

Good and quality breakfast is been served here..quick service...

Most affordable price with varities of tasty food. Its a small hotel, only Four employees serve the food.

One of the best vegetarian hotel in Shivamogga, when I will be in Shivamogga I use to have a break fast in this hotel, in Shivamogga no veg hotel can compete for Ganesha hotel idli and chatny , who ever visit Shivamogga must visit hotel but space is very less this is the major drawback.

Evey thing is average the sambar yellow water with salt ,chutney is also watery no taste in food and also the no cleanliness, attitude of staff and mangaer is also like 5 star hotel so better dont waste money and time spend money on other place this is just to save you thank you

The hotel ARAS VEG is located exactly at the entrance point of KSRTC bus stand....the outlet is good if you are in a hurry to catch the bus but want to have a decent south & north Indian meal at "not so costly" price...lodging facility is also available

A good decent hotel serving South Indian breakfast My go to hotel for breakfast

Good option near the bus stop. North Indian food is available and AC family hall too. Parking can be a proble, it is in a very busy place.

Had a bun and idli vada. Good👍 but vada(20 per piece) is little bit oliy.

Best hotel near the bus stand. Better service along with lodge facility available. Discipline and Clean Highlight of the hotel. 1. Best option for Veg meals. 2. Menu options of variety of meal and breakfast. 3. Quick bites also there. 4. At least small cafe break talk caN be made. 5. Very much economy. 6. But green tea is not available

Good 👍service busstand hotel

It's a small eatery. Average food and taste can be found here. It mainly caters to the mobile population of the market. and acts as a eatery for the nearby hospital.

Good restaurant, with boarding, lodging, RMR ed. Corner, centre of city, good and tasty breakfast ,lunch, tourists can stay, try, can move other visiting places through Kuvempu road,, 👍👍

We can expect good coffee, tea and dosa. But other food stuff are average and service is poor.

This hotel is very much acessible from near by prestigious hospitals in shimoga.. nic veg hotel provide all types of foods and outside catering is also avaolable

Food normal taste rate o.k cleanliness not Soo good

One of the oldest restaurant in shimoga.. Try dhosa and pav bhaji, rava idli etc. good taste in veg and also it's pure veg restaurant...

Ambience 3/5 Service 3/5 Taste 4/5 Variety 2/5 Quality 4/5 Price 3.5/5

South Indian home food far away from Home. If you are missing the home food being a traveller to Shimoga, then you must try this place. One of the best places so far as we have explored as a travellers to Shimoga. The staff are very friendly, warm and welcoming. The food is cooked and served with love. Usually this place has a wait but since we were early, managed to beat the line and the crowd. If you are looking for simple yet tasty home food, then this is the place. If your priority is ambience, then this is not the place.

Great place for lunch and dinner. Clean and neat. The taste is superb.

Food was good, tasty,bit crowded,they charged 90rs for holige meal which was affordable,they serve unlimited side dishes

Nice food for vegetarians they serves food on banana leaves good taste when you visit Shimoga go parvathamma mess.

Quite a good hotel for afternoon meals. Nice to see ಬಾಳೆ ಎಲೆ ಊಟ. It's almost North Karntaka style dishes. But a bad thing is they vary rates everyday..

Home made food, taste yum

The mess is located on BR road. Bangalore road. The mess serves lunch at affordable prices. The serving is typically on plantain leaf. Starts with salt, pickle, 2 different types of vegetables, pulses curry, cucumber salad, Ragi ball, rice roti, chapati, rice, sambar, rasam, curd and butter milk in small proportions. The single serving is sufficient. The cost per meal is 50rs. It is one of the most popular locations by the locals and tourist. Value for money. Must visit if you are a foodie. However the ambiance is simple and neat. No AC nor cushion seats.

Same food same taste no changes

Don't come to this place

Soup 🍲 super food also good 👍

Superb place for boozing... I'm regular customer here... Nice food...

Good place to have drinks. Worst in food

Friendly staff , tastey food awesome

Wowww,very clean and neatly....

Good food, but should look more clean and hygiene.

Taste is ok . Management should guide the suppliers properly to talk with customers. Otherwise good hotel.

Please arrange all Verity food. Taste is super

Very nice sitting arrangements for all, nice painting wall. coffee & tea very nice taste.

Very nice place. Tasty food 😋

Old style hotel. Good tasty food. Lite on pocket. Try Tatte idly here.

Nice but worst services they service seeing customers and they don't respect customers equally

Went for dinner. But not seen any one other than me so decided not to opt for the food here. Had a tea, it seems already prepared and once again heated and given, price was reasonable.

Good quality not best. Well maintained. Kind staff. Spacious. Cheapest dine in offering hotel near to KSRTC and private bustand. Easy parking. If you have less time, this would be best choice to get meals.

The food is not good. We ordered dosa and idli where the batter seems to be 2-3 days old, giving it a sour taste. PLEASE DON'T GO HERE. YOU'LL BE DISAPPOINTED.

Not worth the price, the quality is very subpar and ordered dosa but it tasted like it was prepared from 2 day old batter.🤮 PLEASE STAY AWAY FROM THIS HOTEL AT ALL COST

Please don't go.. Stay hungry than going here. Food was very bad , almost like 2-3 days old.

The food didn't taste great. It was unhygienic. Bonda soup and chapati was not at all tasty or fresh The veg thali was okay, passable. I would not recommend it

We ordered fried rice, it was bought from the hotel next to us and served. Other food taste was not good

Neatly maintained, homely taste ,decent pricing nice staff everything is ok

Best for breakfast, must try their Idly and Vada ....chithranna& was average.... Coffee was good

tasty south indian meals... rasam was super taste... good hotel near bus stand...

Excellent food and very tasty and hygienic

Tasty and healthy food .Near bus stand.Quick service

Very good food clean and tasty veg hotel

Decent restaurant with Quality Tasty Food.

Good food

Bad customer service And wont even fry potato twister properly

They are not vegan, don't get fooled by the name.

Worst employee attitude

Good taste

Authentic home made style food with good ambience. Nice place to visit for a good food.

Sincere attempt to provide homely food with so much dedication, very great taste.

A great delight and homely food

We tried pizza, pasta and wrap and lollipop. Out of these red sauce pasta was too good. Reasonable price and friendly staff. Must visit place in shimoga if you are looking for fast food and place to hang out with Friends.

I had the best Veg grill sandwich here. If you are in Shimoga, make sure you visit this shop.

Nice cafe in the heart of my city Shimoga . For fast food lovers must visit place . Price are reasonable Every one can afford

The best cafe ever.... They are very kind people.., The taste is just awesome..,must visit kimd of a place im Shimoga..,

The food is good quality but I think it's not as flavourful as you'd expect it to be

Veg momos were very really nice. The owner and workers are really polite.

Nice place for a small gathering. Very tasty and perfectly cooked food. Cleanly maintained.
