5. Tea & Buns at Mithra Samaj – Shri Krishna Matha

Before one proceeds to relish the taste of Mithra Samaj, It would be a grave mistake to not talk about the beauty and magnanimity of Shri Krishna Matha, founded by Shri Madhvacharya in the 13th century, this is one of the most venerated temple dedicated to Lord Krishna. The temple has preserved its rich architecture which dates back hundereds of years and offers sublime atmosphere to its devotees.

While the temple feeds the inner soul of its devotees, its the Mithra Samaj that takes care of their tummies. The restaurant is very popular among locals and they don’t miss a chance to appreciate its satvik food (preprared without using Onion and Garlic) which is being served here for decades now, and while you’re here don’t miss out on trying their Manglore Buns which is packed with falvors of coastal Karnataka.
