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.
GOURMET ON THE ROAD RATING
IDLI WITH GRAVY
Steaming hot and fluffy idlis. can be savoured with a chicken gravy or a robust mutton gravy that packs heaps of flavour.
8/10

PAYA
Has a nourishing, delicate flavour with a hint of pepper and fresh herby zing of coriander. the gelatinous trotter just melts in your mouth!
8.5/10
Rs. 130
MUTTON CHOPS
A light, delicate stew cooked with mild spices allowing the meat flavour to be most dominant. The mutton is soft and peels effortlessly off the bone!
9/10
Rs. 130.
PEPPER CHICKEN
This is a delicious gravy. notes of pepper and fenugreek give it a deep flavour. the chicken is lushly flavoured with that masala, and is tender and juicy in every bite.
9/10

GHEE RICE
A staple here made with long grain rice. it’s aromatic on its own but can also be paired with the delicious meaty sides!
7.5/10
Rs. 60.
CHILLI CHICKEN
Loaded with tomatoes and coriander this gravy has a gentle, roasted red chilli heat. it is very different from the green chilli heat that one is used to. the curry also has a certain smokiness to it.
7/10
Rs. 130.
MUTTON LIVER
Made in green masala made that is loaded with fresh coriander. works well with the earthy, meaty, irony notes of the liver. the liver has a slight bite but yields quickly.
9/10
Rs. 130.
MUTTON CURRY
A superb curry! The mellow spicing allows the meat to shine. all the flavour of the meat is in the gravy. the sort of dish your grandmother would cook for you.
