Mango Tree Restaurant

Hampi's best-known vegetarian restaurant, now relocated to Kamalapur, famous for its banana-leaf South Indian thali.
A long-running vegetarian restaurant in Hampi. It used to sit near Virupaksha Temple and has since moved to Kamalapur, to the area behind Sathyama Temple near the old bus station, so many older guides list an address that no longer works. The new site is a garden-style space shaded by green trees, with both floor seating and tables, and it is much roomier than the old branch. The signature is the South Indian thali, and the menu also includes an Israeli breakfast with pita and hummus, pizza, pasta, lassi and banana toffee pie. Expect about 200–400 rupees per person. No reservations are needed, though some diners find it a little pricey. It is about 4 km in a straight line from Hampi Bazaar, which makes it a convenient lunch stop while touring the southern ruins.
