Clients reviews about Naivedyam

I've been visiting this place since 2003, and it's filled with cherished memories — it used to be our family's go-to spot for happy times. After a gap of 7–8 years, I finally returned on August 12th, and the wave of nostalgia hit me hard. The place still holds its authentic charm, now beautifully upgraded. The Bonda Soup and Cutlets still carry that familiar, comforting taste from the old days. What truly stood out, though, was the hospitality — especially one staff member who took our orders. His knowledge about the food and the way he engaged with our group, even recommending a dessert with such genuine enthusiasm, was remarkable. Mr. Gandhi, your warmth and professionalism elevated my respect for this place even more. Kudos to you and the team — so happy to see this legacy continue! ~ Spoorthi I

Luckily, our hotel provides us with a free breakfast in this restaurant. Delicious dosa and wonderful upma. We loved it so much, we went back for dinner, and we were certainly not disappointed. Polok paneer and dhal that melts in your mouth. Wonderful chat as well. And, the dessert was too good for words. The service is great also and everyone that works there is so friendly and welcoming. The only complaint I have is that I keep eating too much there because I can't stop!!!! Don't waste your time anywhere else. This is the most flavorful food we have had in India so far. They don't make anything poorly. It's all super delicious. I'm already looking forward to breakfast tomorrow morning. I just need to decide what I want to have this time. Reasonably priced. You can eat well and not spent much at all. ~ Brett G

About 12 km from the Hampi centre, this is a perfect stop for refreshments if you're just arriving at Hampi or just leaving. We initially stopped here for lunch while arriving at Hampi, and were so impressed that we kept coming back the next two days for breakfast and lunch. The place is huge, has ample seating for any crowd size, staff is really courteous and food is just superb. My favourite part of the south meals lunch was the thick and tasty curd. And for the first time in my life I was offered extra aplam (papad) without being refused or charged extra. Breakfast is also really good. There is parking space outside the restaurant for vehicles, and washrooms are clean too. A real treat for weary travellers. ~ Niraj B

Was actually on a trip to Hampi, and randomly came across this restaurant and thought to give it a try, I will talk about the dinner food, it has a wide variety of menu, and trust me everything seems to be so delicious from starters to main course. Which made me visit it again the alternate day, So i had breakfast too, it's always pretty crowded in the morning which obviously point out that their breakfast taste is on beyond expectations. And my huge respect to all the staff members. Well maintained washrooms. (I ordered Masala dosa the second time, The masala idly comes with a chutney and sagu and pizza with dosa as the base and cheese, panner, olive as toppings. This is a must visit place for its variety of food menu option if you happen to visit Hosapet. It’s jst few minutes from Hosapet railway station). ~ Vivek

I visited for dinner with my family. We were delighted by the menu, it had all the south and north Indian dishes including juice and ice-creams. The restaurant was almost full. The service was above average. We ordered baby corn pepper dry as a starter which I felt was a bit more salty but it had a very good flavour of pepper. Next, in the main course, we ordered Veg Albela and Paneer Tawa Masala with Indian breads like Butter Kulcha and Butter Naan. Both Paneer Tawa Masala and Veg Albela were to my liking with a good balance between different flavours. I felt that Butter Kulcha had too much butter. Overall, we enjoyed the food. Paneer pepper dry - 7/10 Veg Albela - 9/10 Paneer Tawa Masala - 9/10 Butter kulcha - 9/10 Butter naan - 9/10 ~ Pratyusha A

We had like 2 lunches and one breakfast here in the month of March as we were staying at Ananya comforts right in front of them & they didn't have their dining facility open. Location wise it's very good, you can visit hampi in just 15 mins from this place. Food wise, we had a South Indian thali along with some North Indian dishes. Quality was top notch. Worth to mention their authentic South Indian idli & vada sambar, which just melted in mouth, Rava onion masala dosa was just superb and the overall quality & quantity for South Indian food was far better than some renowned hotels at FC road pune (Punekars can easily guess 😄) Ratewise real value for money. Enough parking space for cars to park as we drove in one of our own. ~ Nachiket K

I had the pleasure of dining at naivedyam, and it was an unforgettable experience! We had crumbed baby corn, afghani samosas, rawa dosa and set dosa and Arabian pudding . The highlight of my meal was their Afghan samosas—perfectly spiced, and bursting with flavor freshly prepared in the tandoor. Beyond the food, the ambiance was warm and welcoming, and the staff was incredibly friendly and attentive. Mr.Shiva Kumar was very helpful and helped us with his wonderful suggestions. If you are Hampi and looking for a near place with ample of options, this place is a must-visit. I’ll definitely be coming back for more! ~ Ratna K

I had a wonderful experience at Naivaidyam, and a big part of it was thanks to Monojith, one of the best waiters I’ve come across. He is incredibly sweet, polite, and professional in the way he serves guests. From the moment we were seated, he handled everything calmly and made sure we were comfortable. Monojith speaks very politely, attends to customers patiently, and ensures that every request is taken care of with a smile. His professionalism and calm attitude truly stand out, even when the restaurant is busy. Service like this makes the dining experience much more enjoyable. Thank you, Monojith, for the excellent hospitality! ~ Abhilash S

Le restaurant dispose d'une salle climatisée et d'une non climatisée. En cette période de canicule c'est hyper appréciable. Le responsable de salle originaire de Calcutta a été absolument charmant. Il nous a traité comme des rois. La cuisine était locale, comme la clientèle. Le premier plat était trop épicé pour nos palets européens, le chef l'a remplacé sans hésitation. Si vous cherchez un service attentif aux besoins de ses clients, un endroit au frais, c'est un excellent endroit où aller. ~ Maxime T

Someone recommended this restaurant during my stay in Hospet. Earlier I was reluctant to go but when I saw 5k + reviews, I was like "try karna toh Banta hai"... Went to dinner and as I was craving for chat ordered a Sev Puri..and then Pav Bhaji and both tasted good...and above my expectations considering Hospet. Then I ordered a mango juice...which was apparently from fresh mango... But in my opinion it was from frozen pulp of mango..anyways it was good to have something sweet after chat.. I think if I will get an opportunity I would again go to taste south Indian delicacies this time...!!! ~ Khushboo M

Хорошее место, рядом с отправкой автобусов. Чистый туалет. Еда вкусная, долго берут заказ у иностранцев, сендвич готовили дольше чем суп. В целом хорошее место, очень понравилось. Было много людей. Но повезло и ждать не пришлось. ~ Дмитрий П

This is best restaurant available nearby Hosapete station and it's just 5 mins drive from station. Our train from Mumbai arrived at Hosapete at around 12:45PM. We were hungry after an overnight journey. Our autowaala bhaiya took us to Naivedyam. Hotel ambience is simple with very tasty food. Hotel has mostly punjabi food options. Other menu options are also available. Parking facility is available. Go to place after a long train journey. Note: All auto waala bhaiya will do a stop over for their passengers at Naivedyam enroute to Hampi. ~ Vrushank P

We had breakfast and lunch here. Food is very tasty, we tried, corn masala dosa, Feied idli, medi wada, 75inch dosa, Masala dosa etc Lunch is very delicious, variety of item available. Mahesh was very fast and polite, helped quick and guided what are the speciality. Note: Medu wada comes with only 1 wada & Fried idli also comes with 1 idli dipped in sambar, not worth. Go for masala dosa, delicious 😋 Staff is not active while taking payments, twice the staff missed to add the items in bill, we reminded them. Go for Thali ❤️ ~ Omkar S

Preparation is good , we had masala Puri , Raj Kachori , Masala Dosa , Paneer Chilli and Mushroom Manchurian , for vegetarians - a good option , waiter was very alert and he stopped us from giving more order , he told first you finish this much order and then go for Rice if you feel you have space , that was quite thoughtful of him and I was pretty amazed with his skills to help honestly , he was loyal to the customer not to the restaurent owner or else we can say restaurent owner has hired right people 🧘‍♂️🧠🙏 ~ MAYUR V

We went here for lunch enroute Hampi to Bangalore. Pure veg restaurant. Guard at gate is super etiquette. Never saw such a great mannered guard. The waiter was a smiling boy. We ordered idly, jeera rice, dal butter fry, paneer lababdar and chocolate milk shake. Nice food and liked the taste. Not unnecessarily oily. There is also a multi cuisine non veg / bar restaurant in the same hotel complex also. Overall I think this is the right hotel complex for food, irrespective of you want to have pure veg or non veg or want a relaxing time. ~ Shubhrendu S

We had lunch at South Indian Hotel Naivedya, and the experience was really wonderful. The food was delicious, authentic, and served fresh. A special thanks to Mahesh for giving us proper and excellent service. He was very polite, attentive, and made sure all the meals were served on time. The staff behavior was good, and the hotel maintains cleanliness and hygiene. We truly enjoyed our lunch here and would highly recommend this place to everyone looking for tasty South Indian food. 😊 ~ pranay k

Tried South Indian thali in Naivadyam multiple times. Idli,medu Vada,Puri Bhaji and masala dosa are best options for breakfast. Normally they start service at 7:30am. Food was simple and delicious. Service was so good. All staff is friendly and polite. In our 3 days stay for Hampi trip, daily we had breakfast, lunch and dinner at Naivadyam only. Would love to visit this place again for tasty food. This is recommended option for healthy and pocket friendly food. ~ Sarika B

I recently visited this vegetarian hotel where I tried idly vada, chow chow bath, and coffee. The restaurant was clean, and the food was delicious overall, but a few items didn’t meet my expectations. While the idly and vada were enjoyable, the sambar lacked the expected depth of flavor, and the Kesari bath was a bit disappointing. Also, the service was quite slow, which took away from the experience. However, the atmosphere and cleanliness made it a pleasant spot for a casual meal. ~ GIRISH K

I visited Naivedyam Restaurant in Hospet for breakfast, lunch, and evening snacks during my trip to Hampi/Hospet. The restaurant is conveniently located near the bus stand and right on the main road, making it very easy to access. Parking is available, and there are clean toilet facilities nearby, which is especially helpful for travelers. For breakfast, we tried idli vada, the breakfast combo, and coffee – all were fresh and flavorful. For lunch, we ordered South Indian meals, manchow soup, masala papad, mushroom chilli, roti with butter paneer, and everything was served hot and tasted great. In the evening, we tried pani puri, papadi chaat, pav bhaji, and onion uttappam. All the items were delicious and well-prepared. The food quality was consistently good across all meals, and the service was quick and efficient. The restaurant offers both AC and non-AC seating, making it suitable whether you want a quick bite or a relaxed dining experience. Overall, Naivedyam is a great place for fresh, tasty, and satisfying vegetarian food in Hospet. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Hospet or Hampi. ~ Sudhindra R

Food was wholesome, reasonable and tasty. 3 of us had the South Indian plate which was pretty good. The rasam, payasum were particularly nice. We had to decline the complimentary rice with the thali because it was too much for us. Their Avakaya Khichdi turned out to be really delicious too. It is at walking distance from the Hospet Station unless you have kids or heavy luggage with you. Most adults can easily walk there. ~ Abhishek S

We had the South Indian Thali and it was one of the best Thali’s we have ever eaten. It consists of 16 items and all are delicious. The Sambhar, rasam, dal, vegetables, payasam was simply yummy. The only thing they can do better is chapatis, which were thinner than paapad. However, you can switch to puri for a wholesome experience. Must go if you are in area or even make a trip from Hampi, if you can. ~ Pooja G

We visited hampi during our karnatka trip. Had pi stop for breakfast at Naivedyam restaurant. We ordered breakfast combo. Almost had everything that we have heard of South indian food and yes also with dosa and cutting chai too(could not post snaps as were busy in eating) Rates so reasonable. Taste awesome. HYGIENIC. Hotel lobby ambiance good. Would recommend to explore great south indian food here. Had a great experience. ~ Deepak K

Taste: very yummy Cleanliness: Good Service: Excellent and quick Quality: Very good Price: Reasonable (Considering all points mentioned above) I would recommend South Indian Thali specially. We had Jowar roti which was delicious. But all food items were tasty and fresh. Also you can customise dish as per your taste( Spicy, hot ..). And its near Hospete Railway station 😇 Washrooms were clean and were of Western style. #LooReview ~ Pooja R

Cannot recommend this restaurant enough. The staff are very friendly and professional. The restaurant is clean and kept cool with fans. They have an aircon section also. We tried the South Indian vegetable thali and I can honestly say this is the best thali we have had up to now during our 3 months in India. Cooked fresh, served hot and with plenty of variety. Bargain in my opinion if I was in the area again I would definitely return here. ~ Kara H
