You will get 2 Paakashalas, one A2B which seem to be the decent options. But both the Paakashalas need a little bit detour. Shree Ratnam veg is also decent but it maybe a bit too early for you.

The Sira A2B seems to be the best of the lot.

Some more good options for you are:

Paakashala at Sira, there is also a CCD next door with an IOC bunk, in case you need clean washrooms. Do note this is on the opposite (return direction) side when going from Bangalore to Chitradurga

Upadhya Veg just before Chitradurga, again on the return direction so needs some minor U-turn planning . Shimoga diversion will ensure you anyway need to get off the bridge and will be on the opposite side of Upadhya (below the bypass flyover)

Laxmi Bhavan Tiffin room, famous eatery in Chitradurga town for Dosas and Gulab Jamuns. Needs a bit of a deviation into the town from your intended Chitradurga - Shimoga path but can do if interested.

Shree Rathnam Veg before Dobbaspet flyover as MalnadMansha pointed out, but you will reach this very early

If you are leaving at 5.30AM and you intend to eat around 7-7.30AM, Paakashala Sira is the ideal place, timings-wise.

Thanks a lot everyone for the valuable inputs.
On the way to Shimoga, we had a breakfast at A2B.
On return journey to Bangalore, accidentally found a place called "New Shetty Lunch Home" had lunch from there.

Still no idea when is the tentative completion date for the 4-lane from Tumkur to Shimoga. It seems to be dragging along.
