While at Kyatasandra, try to have breakfast at Pavitra Idly Hotel, which is famous for its Thatte Idly. Thatte Idly is a bigger version of the normal Idly. Thatte means Plate in Kannada. The hotel is located just around half a KM from the station. Just walk towards the Tumakuru-Bengaluru Highway and upon reaching, just take left and you will find this hotel with a lot cars parked around.

While travelling in Karnataka by train don't miss out on having the Maddur Vade. This must be the only food item invented for rail travellers. The snack is named after Maddur MAD. You can read the story of its invention here: click here and click here
