This is a nice veg restaurant in mysore with air conditioning. The menu was simple. Rates were ok. We had meals which was good. Meals had the regular chapathi 2pc, sweet sambhar, rasam, palya, brinjal curry, dhal, rice curs pickle and papad, badusha. I expected them to have famous karnataka sweet chirotti which was not available.
Family type restaurant.Food tasted good.Shld try madras parotta,Open masala dosa and idly.All food items are worth a try.Review Based on my visit on 11th May 2019.
This place has multicuisine as well as south Indian and north Indian Thalis.we tried the south Indian thali which was good and value for money
Had double thoughts due to the low rating but still tried the place. Food was good and the tea was just amazing. Courteous staff, quick service and decent interiors add extra points. Ample car parking space is also advantage.
I have coming here since 10 years. My family is regular Sunday customer for this hotel since 25 years. Everything is yummy 😋 here I was shocked seeing the ratings.

Its one of the best family restaurant, ambiance is good, taste is amazing really near to city, must try places in mysore for breakfast and lunch..
family restaurant, ambiance is good, taste is amazing prices are normal not to high... place is calm and clean near to city a must visit place in mysore
Went with my family to mysore. Found this place on google and then thought to try this one out. Ut really turned out as expected. They have Great service and very fast delivey. We tried their many options, paper dosa, set dosa, open masala dosa, onion dosa, bonda sambhar, rava idly. Paper masala dosa was my favourite. And they served very good and tasty sambhar and chutney, qnd unlimited too. We had almost 5 extra sambhar cups. The staff was very patient and quick in service despite the crowd. Thank you for your quick service we could catch our train on time with our stomachs full...
Despite all the bad reviews, we went to this place for breakfast. This one was the closest to where we were staying.
We ordered 2 masala dosas and a plate of idlis and we liked them all! The food was good and within our budget. the place was clean and staff was prompt.
What was originally meant to be a straightforward drive from Bangalore to Coorg (Kodagu) turned into an unexpected Mysore review as we decided to call it a night. In the morning, because I was staying at Hotel Siddhartha, we didn't mind trying our chance at their in-house restaurant: Om Shanti. Now, don't mind me, I really wanted to try all those delicious Idlis and Doaas here in the South, and I gotta say, it was a pretty cool meal.
I was always interested in trying a in Mysore, so here I thought I finally had my chance. Now, I didn't realize they don't call it that here, hah hah, how embarrassing. Regardless, their masala Dosa was fairly balanced, there was that trademark Mysore essence, but overall I don't think they did anything exceptional since it was fairly straightforward stuff.
I much liked thier , for once a sambar that was mild enough without compromising on the taste factor. The Idli was soft and fluffy while retaining its original element, nice stuff. Their red chutney was a genuine showstopper, but wait, maybe I'm just biased.
I'm generally not a fan of at all, but these guys absolutely nailed it. Needless to say, they have their own style of preparation that really comes through for me. The worst part is that, I don't know if this is the par quality here at Mysore or if they are exceeding the consensus. Furthermore, there's the fiery that was threatening to set my mouth on fire, it was absolutely loaded with green chillies, it's something I am usually okay with, so what can I say.
I'd say any visit to a South Indian eaterie without the mandatory cup (um, glass) of coffee would be a sin. While I'm not really a holy person, I still don't commit such Cardinal foodie sins. Anyway, I don't know if I'm a dummy because I don't get why this is rated 2.4/5. Maybe I just feel this way because all I've had is breakfast, but as far as a breakfast goes, I would surely hand them a three and a half, and leave it at that.
Oh, it feels great to unlock a new city. Maybe Bangalore would be next. Jeez, such pressure.
One good restaurant in Mysore. The Dhosas here are the best. I had Butter Masala Dhosai and Akki Roti. Butter Masala Dhosai was excellent and I'd recommend it for all Dhosai lovers. Though the side dishes didn't impress, one can enjoy Dhosai. Akki roti tasted so good and the gravy given with it tasted very good.

Yet another dining place that was located near to the hotel we stayed at. The place was crowded and we had to wait for sometime to get a seat. After glancing through the menu, we ordered Masala Dosa, Sambhar Bonda, Cabbage Vada and two Masala Chai. The food was served quick, though that was a great thing the waiter kept visiting the table, again and again, to check if we completed. Also, brought the bill so early and it was evident that he was in desperate need of some tips. Nevertheless, we didn’t rush and after a while, he stopped checking on us.
The masala dosa was bang-on. Crispy, fluffy and buttery; the potato masala is to die for. The sambhar bonda was another good pick; loved the bonda impressed in sambhar. To my surprise, I enjoyed the sambhar as it wasn’t overly sweet. The cabbage vada was okay; instead of onions in Medhu Vada, they have added cabbage. The chai was perfect. We checked-in at the place around 5.30 PM so didn’t go for anything heavy. The quantity is good for a person. The quality and taste are decent. Service was a mixed bag. The bill was Rs. 225 INR, that felt reasonable.
Restaurant is part of Hotel Siddhartha and so you have decent parking, AC and non AC section to restaurant, ambiance and cleanliness is good. Seating capacity is big however it does get crowded.
As for the food, we tried the Mallige idly ( fluffier variant), Akki Roti ( actually dosa), paddu (kuzhi paniyaram), plain dosa and all these were good. All these are served with chutney,sambar,saagu
Service is a tad slow . Waiter did keep coming and kept saying this and that ready :) however took sometime to reach table. Decently priced.
Food is really tasty and the value for money, ambiance is average and seems to be popular place for weekend s as it's always crowded and you may have to wait to get table.They have A/V and Non A/C sitting plan , and obviously Non A/C is always over crowded and you may have to literally stand behind the chair to get seat. so is the issue with Parking as over weekend their parking would be full of their Guests staying in Hotel . Food is good in taste , I visited this hotel after 2 years and it has maintained its quality of food along with addition of few more items on cards.
Service is average but they were managing crowd over weekend so it's understandable , not sure how is business on weekdays. This Place is very good for breakfast with all local food variety is readily available.
It's a place if you want to go  with intention of only eating. You will love  Indian food taste here.
Staying in a nearby hotel, where they served only continental cuisine and no local traditional food. Hence enquired and found this hotel. Before venturing, seen lots of negative reviews and arrogance of the waiters. It was a rainy day and the place is fully packed and 10's of people were waiting to seat. Lost hope and took a parcel of Akki Roti and Butter Masala Dosa. Both were equally good. Quantity of accomplishments like chutney, sambar and Saag were huge. Wasted a lot. Tasted the delicacy and it pulled us next day too.. Being a heavy rainy day, restaurant was half filled. We tried Kadubu, Akki roti and coffee. Food was extremely good for my taste. Luckily, the person who served us was very polite and friendly. Coffee's aroma at its best and i have gone for 2nd one. Overall it is satisfying experience. Be prepared, it is always full and congested. This is not a place for relaxed meal.
The Restaurant is part of Siddhartha hotel and is a single floor setup with A/c and Non A/c service Hall. Sufficient parking is available inside the hotel premises. Ambience is good and the restaurant is kept clean. The Quality of food is consistent through the years. Service is good and its a VFM place.
This is the best Vegetarian Restaurant available near the Mysore palace & Zoo premises. This restaurant is a part of Hotel Siddhartha, has ample parking space approx 6000 sq.feet with ease for 30 cars. This restaurant is filled with tourists. A/C hall of this restaurant is very cozy & upscale but usually a wait during peak hours and weekends.
Highly recommanded for Vegetarians looking for an ambient restaurant with ease parking.
The restaurant is part of Hotel, with a separate entrance, typical of similar hotels of yesteryears in non-metro cities. The restaurant seating area is large, functional, well lit and roomy. The tables are set apart, so no feeling of crowding.
The restaurant is attached to the hotel serves piping hot idlis and hot and crisp vadas!
The Samabar has a distinct Kannadiga taste. It is quite nice if you like the flavoring & taste.
They also serve chow-chow bath which is a popular fare in Kannadiga breakfast menu. Chow Chow bath has rava upma/kichadi and a sweet dish also made from Rava.
This is a good place to visit if you are getting off the train / bus at Mysore and traveling further. You can hit the washroom, freshen yourself up, have breakfast and hot the road.
It is about 1 KM from the Station.
We were looking for a place to have lunch & this restaurant was recommended to us. It's located very close to the Mysore bus stand. One can easily take an auto rickshaw & reach there.
The restaurant belongs to a hotel so the ones staying in the hotel are really lucky. The outer seating is meant for south Indian cuisine and the inside seating is for north Indian stuff.
We had ordered two north Indian thalus @ 210/each. It starts with a round of delicious tomato soup followed by a fully laiden thali which consists of soft naans, daal, pulav, plain rice, sambar, rasam, three north Indian sabzis such as aloo mattar, choke and paneer masala. Food is unlimited so have as much as you can.
The starters such as chilli paneer will also surprise you.
We went there for lunch. The south indian meal here is really amazing! I am not a huge fan of rice but the rasam was too good and helped me finish all the rice. Awesome food quality!
We hungry mongrels we're going around the regal city of palaces, mysore one evening. Having skipped our breakfast and lunch we landed here at 6pm ready to just about hog anything inclusive of waiter if in case our food got delayed. But thankfully it was a lucky day for the waiter....
Food - 3.5. Yummy South Indian delicacies, we tried the Akki roti, madras parota, paddu, paper masala dosa, masala idly... and washed it down with coffee and chocolate milkshake. And all of them were yumm, and pretty good.
Service - 3.5. The waiter was very courteous and friendly and suggesting us options seeing how hungry we were.
Pricing - 3.5 one of those places that still not incorporated a service charge.
Ambiance and location - 3.5. just around the corner from palace, hence pretty accessible. The ambiance again was good.
I have a frequent visitor to Mysuru and this place is not very far from where I used to stay. The word of the mouth enticed me to visit this restaurant, located within Hotel Sidhartha. The place remains crowded for dinner, especially on weekends. I tried only the north Indian cuisine. The Paneer Butter masala is tasty, alittle bit of less oil would have helped though. The Chana Masala is also good. The dishes are pocket friendly priced. A good restaurant to try out atleast once.
I make sure I visit this restaurant whenever I come to Mysore. Right from snacks to meals whatever you try its undoubtedly delicious. There would be waiting for most of the times. Medu Wada, South Indian / North Indian
Meals everything we tried was tasty.
Om Shanti Restaurant, Hotel Siddartha, Near Hardinge Circle, Mysore
"When North meets South"
Om Shanti restaurant is located in Hotel Siddartha campus near Hardinge circle. This place which is usually crowded wasn't houseful yesterday. There is regular and AC Hall there. In regular hall they serve only South Indian Thali so if you want to try North Indian cuisines you have go to AC Hall.
Menu is quite elaborate with decent pricing but pricing of some items seems weird for ex: a plain Nan will cost you 35rs where as buttered version is 60rs which is almost double!! I thought of having North Indian Thali as I was alone and I could try more delicacy.
North Indian Thali is priced 210 (+ taxes) which is little expensive though for the ambiance and service. The Thali here is same like other restaurant but the course is huge, it consists of all items which is usually served elsewhere along with a bowl of plain rice, sambar, rasam, curd and pickle. So you will get a feeling of having both North and South Indian Thali at the same time!! So one has to have very good appetite in order to complete the food.
Taste is nothing extraordinary but not bad either. Loved the thick yogurt which was fantastic, Mysore pak was good, Kulchas were ok , except Paneer curry other 3 curries were average. Rasam was tangy and tastier, Pulav was impressive.
Ambiance is good but service is mediocre, not a bad choice if you are around suburban bus stand or palace. After having such heavy meal, my stomach just wanted one thing 'Om Shanti' :D
Taste: 3.5/5
Ambiance: 4/5
Service: 3.5/5
Value For Money: 3.5/5

Nice cosy place for Mysuru South Indian dishes. Had Rava idli Aki Roti, half set dosa and Mysuru masala ( shared with my wife Geetha). All were top class. The chutneys were average and not to my taste. Pure taste didn't emerge from any of the accompaniments. The ambience was good and it is a family outing place.
Excellent coffee and tiffin.
We kept polishing off whatever we had on our plates with astonishing speed. Do try their masala dosas. The filling is scrumptious. The accompanying sambar and chutney is perfect.
Its a popular eat out place in Mysore and usually crowded. Its currently under renovation, so don't expect great ambiance. But the food is really tasty and reasonably priced.
Very good south Indian food.
Bisi belebath chowchowbath must try in snacks.
South Indian thali does justice.
Chinese is not up to the mark.
For all coffee lovers namma filter coffee is there with splendid aroma kindly do try it.
I was visiting mysore and asked the locals about a good place for dinner and everybody unanimously suggested this place..they have two sections...the AC room serves north indian and chinese and the non-AC serves southindian food...i tried the bonda,open masala dosa and atthi roti...loved the food...good quality and delicious... absolutely recommend this place...
if you are visiting Mysore and looking for a good vegetarian family restaurant, look no further. Only thing while looking out for this restaurant is to ask for Hotel Siddhartha.
Seems to be renovated recently as the place looks very clean. It gets crowded by 1 pm for lunch so better be there by 12:30 to avoid waiting.
Food we ordered was tasty and service was prompt too.
awesome place, awesome food, awesome drinks, awesome service. the only drawback is you have to wait a long time to get a place to sit and eat. if you are taking a parcel, it's better, wait time will be less. medu wadas are very fluffy. not being a south Indian and visiting a place like this, makes you fall in love with these south Indian delicacies. Must visit even if you don't want to.
I was scared because I saw the reviews in zomato after checkin but my luck, it is not bad as rating suggests. 2.9
My personal opinion - good food
Worth the money, Naan was overcooked a bit but mushroom gravy and paneer butter masala was good.
My dad tried south indian thali and even he had no complaints.
Do try and you will come back without any regrets.

I had been advised by some of my friends to try out Om shanti restaurant. After visiting and having a dinner, my thoughts: AC dining ambience is good. Ordered hara bhara kabab, paneer Patiala and tomato dilbahaar along with a basket of chapattis. The taste of the food was very good and the paneer felt really soft and fresh. A bit costly, but can always be tried out for a great vegetarian cuisine.
We were staying at Hotel Siddhartha so this was a feasible option for meals. The South Indian thali is a must try, especially after the tiring sight seeing. Their fresh lime soda will go excellently with it. The Punjabi and Chinese cuisines are equally good.
There was a lot of crowd, given the weekend. Even so, the staff was quick, efficient and friendly. Loved the place (:

The hotel is one of the best for vegetarian food. The quality of food is good. Services are slow but ok. Staff is untrained that's the fact or probably unsatisfied with the management. That's what the message one gets looking at their faces. Very rarely one smiles. Ambiance is good. Near and Clean. One of the favourite locations for tourists hence it's always rush time here.
We went there for lunch this week. North Indian food was very tasty. However, it's the crowd that needs to be managed.. they need to add few more tables, and waiters. Also, inspite of calling themselves 'fine dining restaurant', it turns out to be 'self service ' because of all the rush!
The hotel is very convenient to stop by owing to its presence in the heart of the city.
The food is great and the filter coffee is to die for. It’s mostly crowded so expect some waiting time.
The only downside is the washrooms. They are not very clean and maintained. Heard from my family members that the ladies washroom was stinky.
Otherwise the hotel is a great place to stop by for a quick snack.
Best place for amazing breakfast, dosa, Puri, and loads of options.
The billing guy was rude I think he was temporarily sitting there so acting that way. The service guy was good after we paid a good tip. ;-)
Clean with plenty parking for car.
We went for lunch.
Food Quality: North Indian options available but not that taste. South indian thali is good and affordable.
Service: Quick service.
Wait: No wait time.
I visited this hotel for our Lunch, and we ordered South Indian Thali, The curries are in good taste but the rice is not boiled. Staff service is good.
We had our brunch over there. I loved their food. This restaurant is usually crowded. I ordered Kara batha,idly and tea.i personally liked the Kara bath unique in taste and feels 😋.
The quality of food remains the same over the years. Visited this place with guests for breakfast. I used to stay in this hotel during my early days of work. Brought back old memories for sure
We had lunch in this restaurant and it was the best lunch i had in the town we had Gujarati meal and it tasted very authentic and it is best vegetarian family restaurant even the service from staff was very satisfying…suggest to visit once!!
We stayed here for a day. Hotel was located on main Street. Hotel has huge car parking facility. It has a restaurant and food was good. We had lunch over there. Price was moderate expensive. Rooms were clean and tidy. Staffs are good. Mysore zoo and Palace is just 1.5 kilometres from the hotel.
