This rustic eatery, located in Kolar, the milk and silk center of Karnataka, and within a two-hour driving distance from Bengaluru, is a labour of love spanning three generations of a family who come together every morning to serve up a meaty repast of traditional dishes that over the years has found much favour with the locals. I catch up with the family in their kitchen where the food is cooked as it was 25 years ago, on an ingeniously designed wood-fired stove. Hope you enjoy this episode, take care and stay safe.
Paya Soup
The paya is gentle and nourishing with the warming touch of pepper, an appetising start to the meal here.
Rs. 10 (usd 0.1) for a cup of soup; Rs. 180 (usd 2.5) with two trotters
8/10
Fish Kebab
A fish fry that’s best savoured hot, the flesh is moist with the skin crispened. The masala is flavourful and thankfully does not overpower the earthy flavours of the fish, I suspect this is a kaatla or a variant thereof, although locally it is referred to as silver pomfret.
Rs. 140 (usd 1.9)
7.5/10
Mutton Biryani
A biryani that is mellow in flavours, subtle nuances of the aromatic spices are all that one detects in the rice, a combination of seeraga samba and the bullet variety. The meat is tender and moist, effusive in its flavour with a slightly salty edge of sheep meat. The meat combined with the rice makes for a flavourful mouthful, combine with the sherva to add a bit of a punch, the biryani is definitely a must order here if you come on one of the days they make it.
Rs. 200 (usd 2.7)

Mutton Kheema Unde
Handground by the ladies of the house, one can discern the grainy texture of the coarse kheema on the bite and the warming notes of inger. The kheema unde is soft and flavourful, there is some egg that’s used to bring the roundels together with a bit of gram flour, but is barely discernible. Loaded with fresh pepper spice,
Rs. 160 (usd 2.2)
8.5/10
Boti Fry
The boti is cleaned well and cooked with tender hithikabele (peeled hyacinth beans) which helps in toning down some of the ‘funky’ flavours of the boti. If you love your boti, you will enjoy it.
Rs. 120 (usd 1.6)
7/10
Mutton Chops
A loaded chop, plenty of meat and some fat, that stands testament to the fact that SVS knows how to cook its meat. Absolutely delicious, the meat peels away from the bone, yet has a bit of a bite. There’s bits of fat floating in the gravy, that also adds to the rich, unctuous flavours of the curry. Savour this with some plain steamed rice.
Rs. 160 (usd 1.6)
