Indira Canteen, SidlaghattaIndira Canteen is on Chikkaballapur Road in Sidlaghatta. Vishwavani reported interrupted meal service in March 2026; check whether food is being served today before relying on it, and keep another meal arrangement.
Book with the place itself. India’s cyber-crime coordination centre warned in April 2025 that convincing copies of hotel and pilgrimage booking sites are being pushed through sponsored search and social ads, taking payment for rooms the property never hears about. Every listing here links to the business’s own contact details and its own Google or Bing profile — we take no commission and sit in nobody’s payment path. If a booking page reached you through an ad, check the address bar against the property’s own site before you pay. Fraud can be reported on cybercrime.gov.in or on 1930.
