Hotel RRR

Hotel RRR is a long-running Andhra-Karnataka non-vegetarian restaurant at Gandhi Square in the centre of Mysuru. In South Indian usage, a hotel is a restaurant, and this one is a mainstay for visitors and residents who want a hearty meat and fish meal in a city better known for vegetarian tiffin. It is widely associated with Andhra-style cooking, which favours chilli, tamarind and strong masalas, and it is a common recommendation for travellers who want a change from temple-town vegetarian food. The signature offering is the Andhra meal served on a banana leaf, typically with rice, several curries, rasam, curd and side dishes. Non-vegetarian items are central: chicken fry, mutton curry, fish fry and biryani are among the most ordered dishes, and many diners choose a meal and add a fried side. Heat levels can be high, and visitors who prefer milder food should ask for less spice. Vegetarian choices are limited compared with the meat menu, so the restaurant suits groups who want meat. The dining room is plain and functional, with fast service and a steady stream of local diners; noise is high and turnover is rapid. There is no formal dress code. The beverage programme is simple, with water, soft drinks and buttermilk, and alcohol is not the focus. Meals cost about INR 250-450, which makes the restaurant an inexpensive and filling choice. The restaurant does not take reservations and works on a walk-in basis; queues form at lunch and dinner, and the wait can be significant on weekends and holidays. Approximate hours are late morning to mid-afternoon and again in the evening, with a break in between, though timings change and should be confirmed locally. The Gandhi Square location is close to the city's central market area and within a short ride of Mysore Palace, so the restaurant works well as a lunch stop while sightseeing. Travellers spending several days in Mysuru often pair a breakfast at Mylari with a meat meal here.
