Karnataka cuisine is where Bisi Bisi started. The name itself - bisi bisi - means 'Hot Hot' in Kannada, and the brand opened with Karnataka classics as the founding menu. Coastal Mangalore, the Old Mysore plateau and the Bangalore-Hubli corridor each contribute their own thing: Mangalore's neer dosa and meen kuzhambu, Mysore's masala dosa and bisi bele bath, the breakfast bench of thatte idli and set dosa that anchors most South Indian mornings.
For catering, Karnataka cuisine is most often deployed at breakfast - live thatte idli and neer dosa counters at wedding mornings, sangeet evenings (where they pair surprisingly well with the chaat counter), and corporate events where the eating window calls for snack-format food rather than a heavy thali. Live counter equipment - tawas, pans, idli plates - moves with the team and gets set up on-site so the food arrives off the heat, not warmed.

Frequently asked questions
- Why is Karnataka cuisine on a Telugu caterer's menu?
- Bisi Bisi opened with Karnataka classics as the founding menu - the brand name 'bisi bisi' means 'Hot Hot' in Kannada. Andhra and Telangana sections came in soon after. The kitchen team has Karnataka roots and the catering menu still leads with Karnataka breakfast (thatte idli, neer dosa, Mysore bajji) at most events.
- Do you do live counters for Karnataka breakfast catering?
- Yes. Thatte idli, neer dosa, Mysore bajji, set dosa and dosa-uttapam counters all run on-site at the venue. Most Hyderabad caterers don't run live counters at scale; we do, every weekend, for both weddings and corporate events. Counter pricing sits on top of the per-plate rate.
- Can you cater pure Karnataka menu without Andhra/Telangana items?
- Yes. Pure-Karnataka menus are quoted on request - breakfast spreads (thatte idli, neer dosa, Mysore bajji, set dosa, vegetable saagu, kurma), lunch spreads (bisi bele bath, vangi bath, Mangalore-style chicken curry, neer dosa), dessert (Mysore pak, holige). Tell us when you book.
- What's the most-ordered Karnataka catering format?
- Live breakfast counters at wedding mornings, gruhapravesham mornings and corporate kickoffs. Thatte idli + neer dosa + Mysore bajji + set dosa as a 4-counter setup is the most-requested combination. Headcount typically 50 to 500 plates.
