North Karnataka food is a good option for a low budget, light and healthy meal. Most of the stores selling north Karnataka food items have this mini version of a meal which costs between Rs.50-70 for a tummy filler.
Looks like a regular stores, you will find quite a few of these stores or Rotti Manes around Bangalore, not so many in Indiranagar though. Looks like this place close to the Cauvery School has been around a while.
They have 2 types of curries for every meal with your choice of chapathi/jolada rotti (makki ki roti) or fresh hot akki rotti. They have medium spicy and hot curries which are authentic and homely delicious. One will be a legume such as black eyed peas (the best) or black chana or kabuli chana and the other will be the north Karnataka special eggplant curry/ badane yennegai or a capsicum potato curry. The best combo I have had so far is the eggplant curry and the black eyed peas. They have many variations I am sure, just that I have been there just thrice and this is what I have had.
The chapathis and jolada rottis are delivered from outside, and is usually cold. So your best bet is the fresh hot akki rotti, just off the griddle….though there are times when they do not have this. You can have any number of servings of the various rotis and the curries for a very nominal cost. The freshly made hot obbattu is a good end to the meal. This type of obbattu (sweet) is not the type I am used to so I don’t favour it much but the freshness is an attraction.
Great place for bachelors and its been a good option for breaking a fast /a one meal only day when you don’t have time to cook. This feels homely and nice.
There is only one plastic seat (stool), else you have to stand and eat and wash your hands on the pavement. Still, it is a peaceful place where you can eat at your pace (if you get in early)and relish the food. The guy who mans the store and makes the akki rotti, obbattu is a soft spoken guy who lets you be.
There are quite a few condiments /pickles here that may also be worth a try.
I wanted to rate this 3.5 but there is no more 0.5 option in zomato.

It's cool n nice road side eating...!!! Healthy n tasty....!!!! Curries wud have been lil spicy to match dull tasty rottis but overall nice food....!! But might not fit girls as we gotta stand n eat....!!!! But good food...!!! I might give 3.5 stars coz 1.5 stars are lost for its lack in dining....!!
I had a great time with my family here. The staffs were amazing. The food was good however, it was not very hot, it was warm. The starters were great and the main course was also delicious. It's an unlimited thali so you can ask for as many times as you would like to. The interiors were great. You can go for tables and chairs or you can also choose to sit down to have food. Overall it was a good experience.
