Old Chill Out Ganesh Restaurant
ಓಲ್ಡ್ ಚಿಲ್ ಔಟ್ ಗಣೇಶ್ ರೆಸ್ಟೋರೆಂಟ್
A long-standing backpacker spot by the market, with low floor seating, hummus and falafel platters, pasta and budget-friendly prices.
A street-side restaurant near Virupaksha Temple and the market, with low floor seating and a banana plantation alongside. It keeps Hampi's backpacker vibe. The menu mixes Indian, Italian and Israeli flavors. The most popular item is the hummus and falafel platter, and Sicilian pasta, vegetable biryani, pizza and banana chocolate pancakes are also often mentioned. Reviews are mixed: some people enjoy the atmosphere, while others say the food is average and some dishes fall short. Expect about 200–400 rupees per person, and no reservations are needed. Note that it is not affiliated with Chillout Bamboo, which is upstairs in the adjacent building.
Opening hours
Daily about 7:00–22:30 (some platforms list 23:00)
