    The mutton saaru with a ragi mudde is what to order here, not the biryani everyone queues for. Plastic chairs, steel plates, no reservations, and the kitchen stops when the pots empty around three.

    A pete kitchen running since 1908, and the mudde with mutton saaru is the reason to walk into Sultanpete. Come in the morning; the crowd is for biryani, so ask for mudde plainly or it gets forgotten.

    Kodigehalli Main Road, below Yaakay Bar & Canteen, Sahakar Nagar, Bengaluru 560092

    The super thali puts ragi mudde and naati koli saaru on one steel plate, and desserts are worth saving room for. Weekend lunch means a half-hour wait outside; the full menu is only on a QR code.

    Nati koli sambar with two ragi mudde, about sixty rupees for the balls. Sunday afternoons are a scrum with people standing beside your table waiting for the seat, so eat on a weekday if you can.

    Open
    Lunch and dinner, booking and prepay a day ahead

    Ragi mudde arrives with a coconut-rich Gowda koli saaru as part of a set meal in a Halasuru house. Booking and prepayment a day ahead are compulsory, walk-ins never happen, and it costs many times a military hotel.

  8. Chandu's Deluxe (Malleswaram)

    Open

    Malleswaram old-timers come for the ragi ball dunked in the green pepper curry, usually with mutton chops beside it. The same curry goes on nearly everything, so order one gravy, not three. Closed Mondays.

    Open
    9am to 4pm, then 6.30 to 9pm

    Order the nati chicken curry meal, which arrives with mudde, rice and rasam. Portions are smaller than the price suggests and staff can be brisk, so go for the mudde and the curry rather than the biryani.

  10. Naati Sogadu (Sahakar Nagar)

    Open
    Noon to 10.30pm
    Where
    Ground Floor, Site 28/1, 15th Main Road, 1st Cross, E Block, Sahakar Nagar, Byatarayanapura, Bengaluru 560092

    Here the mudde goes with naati koli bassaru rather than a plain saaru, and that is what to ask for. Portions run small, some items appear only on set days, and there is no parking at all.

  11. Nati Republic (New BEL Road)

    Open

    Where
    3rd Floor, Praveen Prashant Complex, 42/4, New BEL Road, Chikkamaranahalli, Bengaluru 560054

    Nati koli saaru with ragi mudde, on the third floor of a New BEL Road building. It opened in 2025, so it lacks the pedigree of the pete hotels; no alcohol, and the veg side is thin.

    Open
    Morning through to 11pm, shut Mondays

    Ragi mudde with mutton saaru is the meaty end of a mild menu; the pudina chicken dry is the other thing to get. It is up a lane behind SRS Travels and closed on Mondays.
