Pai Hotel
ಪೈ ಹೋಟೆಲ್
A family-run, pure vegetarian breakfast institution on Car Street; Mangalore buns, dosas and masala chai are the locals' everyday breakfast.
Pai Hotel is on Car Street near the Mahabaleshwar Temple. It is a family-run, pure vegetarian South Indian restaurant where pilgrims and locals come for breakfast early in the morning. Its signature is the fluffy, lightly sweet Mangalore buns, served with coconut chutney and curry. Also on offer are dosas, idlis, medu vada, pooris and a lunch thali, all served with a cup of Indian milk tea. Prices are very low and the setting is simple, though service can be brusque at times. The buns sell out quickly, so arrive early. About 150 rupees per person.
