Good place for a quick & pocket friendly breakfast.Hot & soft idly along with spicy chutney(🌶️🌶️🌶️) was awesome.Bonda was super crispy outside and softer inside.Poori and rice bath is also available.

Soft delicious steaming hot idli and yummy chutney. Worth the early morning drive from Bengaluru. Cost ₹ 20 for 6 idlis

Had visited here while we were on the way to Mekedatu. The place is known for its unique style of idli making. The place is small but the taste beats even the best of restaurants. Do head out if you are present in this area.

Visited this place after seeing Food lovers video in YouTube by Kripal Amman. Turned out to be perfect breakfast. Hot n soft idlys served with tasty chutney. 8 idlys for 20₹ which makes you aww. Must stop for breakfast if you are travelling on Kanakapura road.Note : You will find another Kote idli in the entrance thats not the old one. You need to walk for 100mts to get this place

Was my first visit to Kote Idli Mane. It was just like it is described in the posts. Was a bit difficult to find, but managed. From 1st September 2021, they are serving 6 idlis for Rs. 20.. I believe it is still very honestly priced for the super soft idlis and spicy red chutney... Yummm. Hope the legacy continues forever. 🙂

Avoid going on a Sunday. The piece is crowded. The idlis are good. The place is not on the main road. Plan to park away.

Idli is very good and chutney is spicy. This is proper combination for breakfast with less price. That is for ₹10 you will get 5 idlis

This is not a original kote idli mane. Please ride little further in the same road youll see the old hotel.8 idly costs 20₹ and youll get a spiciest chutney.

Review №11

Kote Idli Mane is like a time machine which lets you experience the simple life. All you get here is idlis with red chutney made using traditional means (wood-fired). A plate of 8 idlis cost just Rs 20 and we were surprised that we managed to finish them. The idlis are hot n soft with the chutney adding some spice to the mix. Would recommend carrying some butter cubes with you to add to this experience.Expect this place to be crowded during weekends and dont mistake it for another small joint with same name at the beginning of the cross road. Just walk inside the lane to find this old house.

It is hype , so many outlets in Bengaluru better than this, only thing is 8 idli for Rs.20 but then that is not the main factor u need to visit .going there only for this purpose is bigggggg no

Review №13

Food was so-so. It was popular and crowded; probably why idlis were not cooked properly. At less busy times, I imagine that their food is of better quality.

Review №14

Amazing spicy chutney! They charge ₹20 for 6 Idlis and ₹10 for 3. You only get chutney and no sambar or vada. Idlis are soft and you can easily finish a plate and come back for more. If you go on weekends, youll have to wait in queue.

Review №15

Value for mr ramchandra hard work, but no cleanliness, scarcity for chutney, rude behaviour, and taste okay, but the good part is just beside this place, there is a sweet shop kitchen, by name Darshan sweets, superb Mysore pak and mango burfi ,

Review №16

Super soft idlys.. Must try when you visit Kanakapura.. Be careful that there are many hotels with similar name while on the way to this hotel. Use this pic for a identity.. 4 idlys at Rs 10.. The combination of idly with the spicy red chutney is ultimate..

Su
Review №17

Simple and homely fare of idli and chutney is totally worth the drive from Bangalore on a weekend morning. Priced at 10rs for 3 idlis I dont think it gets cheaper or tastier.Please note that theres another place by the same name which is what we will first see. This place is about 100 metre walk up the narrow road and its a house. Recommend not taking car onto this narrow lane and to park on the other road

Review №18

Idli is good .I suggest to take ghee for idli from the opposite store and do try chakli in that shop

Review №19

Those who are planning for a ride to this place it will be a bad idea. This is an over hyped place. Dont expect some exceptional quality. When you compare the quality with their heritage this place is big flop. Idly quality is below average or maximum average. One who is beginner to cooking can make better idli. We drove from Bangalore for this idli it was total disappointing.The chudtey the provide have two quality. For parcel they give thick one and for those wo are having fro there they provide the one which mixed with water. And it is not at all good.This is a very small place and it is too crowded. There wont be any place there to sit and have the idly properly.For the price you can ignore these thins only if you are coming from nearby or stop here while passing this area.Price :3nos - ₹106nos - ₹20

Guys one of the picture is a misleading one someone has uploaded. Thats the first copy hotel of original Kote Idli. So like in other images just ask for that small house without any commercial bill boards or advertisements etc. Find the genuine one and enjoy the Idlis

Review №21

There 2 hotel in the same name in same area. Dont visit the fake kote idli hotel.. for original kote idli mane need to walk from 100 meters from main road.. parking not available for cars.. need to park near main road and walk.. worth the visit..

Approximately 60kms from bangalore lies this traditional idly shop in kanakpura serving soft idlies since the last 30years..Believe it or not you get 8 idlies here for just 20rs and the spicy chutney is heavenly.❤️.Note : While visiting here ,there are a couple of other kotte idly shops that comes before this just to deceive you.

Review №23

This is definitely an overrated place now if not before. The chutney is good and there is nothing special about the idlis.

Review №24

Not worth visiting.I went all the way from Bengaluru.1.5hrs ride through the worst roads to Kanakapura frm Bengaluru...Generous,Humble old man(owner)of Kote Idli Mane, his son is very arrogant and stupid...After such a long ride the way he spoke to me i felt very bad abt visiting this place with lots of effort.And mainly we get 8 idlies for Rs.20.All the idlies i got wer half cooked🙈😭My overall experince was very bad😢😠

Nice red chutney, extremely spicy..Note that 1 plate of idli will fetch you 8 nos of idlis of regular size.The idli is good only when consumers hot

Vi
Review №26

8 Idlis for 20 INR is a joke...!!IMO, I would rate this place higher than the Vasu Hotel on the main road. Reasons below.1. Only thing on the menu is Idly Chutney, it will serve the purpose of a simple sumptuous breakfast, whereas Vasu has lost its sheen or the authenticity is on the wane.2. You will still see people flocking Vasu, but the faces say a different story altogether.3. 8 Idlis with that extra spicy chutney will fill your stomach without needing anything.4. Idly Chutney is always lighter as it is steam cooked compared to oily Dosa and other things on offer at Vasu.And now the Cons, rather state of things.1. Weekends Im sure considering social media posts on this place, will be chaotic.2. Parking might become a mess, as the lane carrying it is narrow throughout. Suggest you park your cars far away.3. No seating arrangements as it is more of a fast foodplace, though it can manage 5 to 6 people near the counter.4. Small indoor area, it might need queuing up in the weekends.5. Better to go on a relaxed Weekday.6. In short, simple humble place with no facilities that you would expect.

Review №29

The hotel has been there for 40+ years for which it carries the traditions of a person making idly which he has carried on from his elders. Its got an authentic touch with a homely vibe.Dont expect to be too comfy as it more commerical attracted to a large number of crowds , mainly local crowds.To note -1. Good for family , friends , groups , couples and everyone.2. Is it a must visit place - personally NO.3. Is it worth a one time experience as your passing by the route - then YES.4. Size of idly - medium.5. Price of idly - unmatched and awesome. 👌6. Quality and softness - awesome 👌7. Chutney - one red chutney only.8. There is a busy road passing by to which there is a lot of traffic. Due to COVID we didnt see much on the day of visit but once everything normalises then it will be hard to find a place to stand or sit is what I presume.

Visited kote idli at kanakapura which is about 60kms drive from namma Bengaluru!Since 1971 , This place has been serving idli and is famous among Localites of Kanakapura.Unlike Bidadi thatte idli , even this place has few duplicate hotels near by and one might get decieved easily!Its a complete visual treat to watch the making of Idli here , so authentic and traditional!Hot piping Idlis are made by old style cooking method using wood fire , batter is poured on a large tray where at once around 50 idlis can be made.Idli is genuinely soft and tomato onion chutney is mildly spicy and little tangy, makes it a good combo!One can expect feel like home taste basic , mild and simple! ♥️Pricing of the Idli is unbelievable!A plate of idli is 20₹ in which you get 8 idlis , where in each idli costs you just 2.5₹Its a must visit and recommended place for breakfast while you are traveling via Kanakapura.Do not miss it!

There are 2 hotels in the same road. Please check with local people or anyone who has visited there. We had visited the 2nd shop. Worst place to have idlis. Idlis are very hard and the hotel owner is also too arrogant. If you want to have worst hard idlis in the world you can visit here. My recommendation is 0 for giving a try also in the 2nd shop.

Review №41

Idly and only idly to choose from. Quantity is very good 6 pieces per plate. Red chetney was good but if u could get the solid Chetney it will be better. Check the place how the idlies are made. Firewood used to cook which makes this idlies unique. Parking an issue. No option to sit n eat. One has to accommodate outside the hotel. With these idlies vades are missed badly.

Visit nearby places like maralwadi dam/lake , are it’s on the way to sangama. You can have the breakfast here. 20/- 8 idli’s and khaara Red chutney is amazing . Do try when you are on the way Kanakapura Road.. 😊

Review №47

Is it only me or others also feel the taste of idlis here are not upto the hype it has? I felt they are average. The day I went though it was not crowded I felt idlis were not steamed to perfection, there was a hint of rawness and I felt as if they removed the idlis even before it was cooked.. quality wise no issues and looked good.The place has a homely vibe which I liked .. :)

Review №59

This is an authentic small place where idly are still made in old style. I forgot to take photo of the idly maker, my hunger pangs had lost all patience to wait😬.This place doesnt serve green coconut chutney, they serve red spicy chutney along with idly. I am sure a normal person with decent appetite can gobble around 12-15 idlys. The kutti vadas are worth trying...its a nice pit stop place worth trying. I missed carrying my cutlery & ended up using foil 😒 so please ignore

Off main road, situated in a small gully. Cant be accessed well by car. 2 wheeler is OK. No real place for parking. Would suggest an early morning visit. Chutney is extremely spicy and not worth a special visit. Idli is soft. One time experience, if you must. Nothing else available to eat.

Its a humble eatery where you can gobble up as many idly as you can at a extremely pocket friendly price..! The idly arent the usual soft ones that dissolve as soon as you keep in the mouth, it has a bite to it. The chutney brings in all the spice and thats one fascinating thing about it. Well the place isnt that ambiance overloaded its elegant in its own way. Be ware only idly is Available at this family run establishment.

Rating 2 - This is only for the hard work they put in.Most of the food blogs have rated it highly, but the fact is far from the narrations mentioned in the blogs. Visiting in car would be a challenge. Bike/Cycle is accessible. Idlis are soft. But as you can see from most of reviews mentioning about chutney being spicy. Spicy is not the main concern. It is not tasty. Other than idli no other variety is available (incase if anyone from group would like to taste along with idli). Incase if you are planning to visit this place from far distance (above 5 km) for only testing idlis, not a good thought.
