An eatery that also boasts of chaat and other crowd’s favorites
Looking for a quick meal that won’t burn a hole in your pocket, Mr. Idli, in Banjara Hills is just what fits the bill. From classic Podi Idli to fusion eats like Idli Manchuria, they have over 10 kinds of idli variants. It is little wonder that the small eatery is full at all times, especially at lunch.
From chaat to tiffins and meals, there are a host of choices. If the overdose of dosa bandis in the city bore you try the molagapodi multi dal dosa which (thankfully is not overloaded with ghee) is delicious and extremely flavorful. Thatte idli, which is becoming increasingly popular are as soft as they come, with ‘just the right amount of spice’ podi. If you feel like having a snack or chaat anytime (like this writer), try the Sev Puri or the Masala Puri, both are just as good as the bandiwallah.
The most popular item on the menu is Donne soya chaap biryani and when we tried it out, we understood why. The delicate flavors and well-cooked rice make it a winning combination which is enticing and not overpowering. The Noodles are an excellent pick too, with just the right amount of spicy Indianness added to it. Round your meal off with a delicious mango lassi.
Don’t miss: They are running an offer on breakfast items at just Rs 39 which has a menu of idli, vada, dosa, puri, mysore bhajji among others. Just the right fuel to charge you in the morning!
