In a place like Indiranagar, Rotti Mane is a boon for North Kannadigas. The eatery serves Jowar Roti and Chapathi Meals, Holige Meals, and other breakfast items. I don’t rate this as the best place for North Karnataka food but an ideal place in a locality like Indiranagar.

I have never heard anything negative about this restaurant except the crazy crowd during weekends.

You should order a Jowar Rotti meal which includes 2 Rotti, Brinjal Curry (Ennegayi), Mixed pulse curry, a cup of curd, rice, sambar, rasam buckled with pickle and cucumber. If you are not so hungry then you can simply go for Rotti Curry or Rice Plate option.
Again, the ambiance is not so fancy-poshy but the meal has a majestic taste. When you are hungry and craving for an awesome food then ambiance doesn’t really matter (our perception).
