How it works
The restaurants immediately facing the Virupaksha Temple on the main Hampi Bazaar street charge tourist prices significantly above the handful of locally patronized dhabas one lane back. Menus sometimes do not show prices or show prices significantly higher in the "tourist section" versus the regular seating.
