Ashoka Hotel (not connected to the luxury chain of the same name) is a pure-vegetarian restaurant in central Cuddapah known for cleanliness and consistent home-style south Indian cooking. The standard items — idli, dosa, vada, thalis with rice and three or four vegetables — are reliably good. Filter coffee is the right finish.
A good option for travellers who do not eat meat or who want a settled meal before continuing on to other temple towns in the region.
