#BestRestaurantsInMysore #NonVegetarian #GourmetOnTheRoad When in Mysore, head to Tegu Mess for local-style non-vegetarian fare! This hole-in-the-wall eatery began as an establishment to cater to the needs of students in the area nearly 50 years ago!
Known especially for its wholesome, hearty, meat dishes, each item on offer has its own unique masala ground in-house by the family. Open through the day for breakfast, lunch and dinner, the fare here is sure to remind one of home.
Food Lovers’ Editor, Kripal Amanna visits this humble eatery and meets second generation owner, Mr. Tegoji Rao and his son Shyam. He takes a look at the open kitchen, right next to the dining area and samples the Idlis with Gravy which is offered during breakfast hours. He also tries a nourishing Paya soup, a flavourful Pepper Chicken, a gently spiced Mutton Curry and much more as part of his lunch meal.
