This special dining experience brings together the rustic flavours of Mandya’s farmlands and the royal sophistication of Mysuru’s kitchens offering guests a taste of the state’s authentic food heritage.

An Ode to Karnataka’s Flavours

Hosted at The Verandah, ibis Styles Mysuru’s all-day dining restaurant, Ruchi Yatre presents a thoughtfully curated menu by Head Chef Gaurav Bansal and his talented team. Each dish on the menu celebrates regional recipes and local ingredients, reflecting Karnataka’s deep-rooted connection between land, culture, and cuisine.

The experience begins with bold appetisers such as the rustic Bannur Motte Boti Fry and the fiery Hunsur Anabe Ney Roast, both offering a delicious glimpse into Mandya’s traditional spice profiles and cooking techniques.

Authentic Main Courses from the Heart of Mysuru

For the main course, diners are treated to Mysuru Mamsa Saaru, a slow-cooked mutton curry infused with rich aromatics, and Srirangapatna Enne Badnekai Gassi, a signature brinjal dish simmered in roasted coconut gravy. These dishes showcase the refined yet earthy essence of Karnataka’s regional kitchens, where simplicity harmonises beautifully with complex flavours.

The rice spread is equally captivating, featuring Bannur Naati Mamsa Palav and H.D. Kote Anabe Palav, both slow-cooked to perfection using local ingredients. Traditional accompaniments such as Mandya Ragi Mudde and Mysuru Akki Rotti complete the meal, offering an authentic taste of rural Karnataka’s hearty dining traditions.

Sweet Endings Inspired by Royal Kitchens

No journey through Karnataka’s cuisine is complete without dessert, and Ruchi Yatre concludes on a sweet note with two timeless favourites the Royal Mysuru Pak, known for its rich, melt-in-the-mouth texture, and Srirangapatna Hesarubele Payasa, a comforting moong dal pudding that adds a perfect touch of nostalgia.
