Got an invite for food review – Rayaru’s kitchen – a pucca Karnataka style Military Hotel. Actually being a south Indian non-veg, I like to have non-veg especially the lamb and lamb spare parts with perfect spicy and flavorful masala, somehow I tried out in different places but taste was that I expected and now here I had all the dishes perfectly done as per south Indian style. Let me share my experience…

About Hotel Rayaru’s:  They are opened for breakfast, lunch and dinner. A typical south Indian breakfast with thatte idly and botti (lamb intestine) curry, akki roti, ragi roti. Lunch with briyani meals, begga oota (full meals) and dinner with many more from lamb leg soup to bun parotta.

Lamb Leg soup

Chicken Paddu

Red snapper fish fry

Chicken Koliwada

Natti Chicken curry withRagi roti

Natti Kozhi Fry

Brain Fry

Botti Fry

Liver pepper fry

Thalae mamisa (lamb head fry)

Location: It is located on the Indira Nagar Double road, nearer to ESI hospital.

Ambiance: Usually military hotels, are mostly preferable for takeaway when it comes to family. Here there are two floors, well designed for family and also beautiful aquarium which adds more beauty to the hotel.

Parking: Parking space is available infront of the hotel, else you need to take the lane nearer to the hotel for parking.

Service: Service was too good.
