Apart from Masaladosa Karnataka is famous for its North Karnataka dishes, The North Karanataka meals made popular by the Kamat restaurants are very famous, the Jolada Rotti or Kadak rotti with yengai wtih some butter is scrumptious to have. Akki rotti, Ragi rotti are some of the few other varities of rottis found in this region. These foods are not only delicious but have a great nutritional values.

A sumptuous Karnatka style meal will include uppina kaayi (Pickles), palya, gojju, mudde, saaru, bisi bele bath with rice, some sambar and happala. The sweets include paaysa, obattu, karadantu, chiroti, Dharwad peda and not to forget the famous Mysore pak, theese deserts will complete be in the list of a perfect gourmet.
