Airport food pricing sparks separate online debate
However, while infrastructure won applause, a separate discussion around airport pricing recently triggered reactions online.
Earlier, a Reddit post featuring a ₹315 bill for a single plate of Ghee Podi Idli sparked a debate about the high cost of dining inside airports. The customer, who visited an outlet of The Rameshwaram Cafe at Bengaluru’s Kempegowda International Airport, expressed shock at the pricing, noting that the meal cost nearly four times its usual rate outside the terminal.

“ ₹315 for Ghee Podi Idli at Rameswaram Cafe, Bangalore Airport,” the Reddit user wrote. The individual added, “I just paid ₹315 for Ghee Podi Idli at Rameshwaram cafe at the Bengaluru airport. Do airports control food prices, or do restaurants set any price they want? 4x seems a bit too much. Curious to know.”
HT.com has reached out to Rameshwaram Cafe for a response. This report will be updated once the establishment comments.
An outlet of the cafe is located at Bengaluru Airport Terminal 1. According to the establishment’s official website, the average meal costs ₹200, significantly lower than the price mentioned in the viral post.
