One of the best beaches in Mangalore, it is always under the supervision of life guards. Ample parking space available, the beach has street food stalls and also a beach resort and bar Overall loved the place

Panambur Beach — a really nice beach, though it gets quite crowded in the evenings. The best time to visit is early in the morning to truly enjoy the vibe. When we went, it started raining, and the dramatic visuals of nature were both stunning and a bit scary to witness.

Located some 12 km from the city centre, situated quite inside from the main road, this beach doesn’t come close to the fame it has. It’s a dirty, badly maintained and just one-time visit type of beach. Quite spacious and good scope to develop it as a model- sea beach, Government apathy and lackadaisical attitude towards any tourism places not just beaches have made such a wonderful location in a just one cheap and third grade beach. I don’t recommend. But yes, it does have some extra activities to for enjoyment.

One of clean and decent beach… nice to spent time here but beach is closed by 7.30 pm… water sports also available here

A little crowded, some water activities and beach side activities for both children and adults are available. Plenty of street food options are available. Overall nice place to spend some time with family.

Good beach in outskirts of mangalore it was not that clean due to lot of tourist also shit of various animals which is bit annoying You get to see beautiful sunset in the beach

Nice place to chill. I went with my colleague early in the morning. We enjoyed a lot, and the view was peaceful and beautiful.🥰

✨ A Timeless Treasure on Lighthouse Hill – My Experience at St Aloysius Chapel, Mangaluru Nestled atop the serene Lighthouse Hill, the St Aloysius Chapel is not just a place of worship—it’s a canvas of devotion, history, and breathtaking artistry. Stepping through its regal entrance, I felt as though I had crossed into a sacred gallery where every wall whispered stories of faith and craftsmanship. 🎨 Art That Speaks to the Soul The interiors are a visual symphony. Painted by Italian Jesuit Antonio Moscheni in the late 19th century, the frescoes cover nearly every inch of the chapel—walls, ceilings, arches—with scenes from the life of Christ and St Aloysius Gonzaga. The detail is astonishing, and the colors, though aged, still glow with reverence. 🕊️ Atmosphere of Peace and Awe Despite being in the heart of Mangaluru, the chapel exudes a quietude that’s rare. The air inside feels hushed, as if the paintings themselves demand silence. Photography is not allowed, which only deepens the sense of sacredness and encourages you to be fully present. 🏛️ A Museum Worth Exploring Adjacent to the chapel is a small museum that’s a hidden gem. It houses centuries-old coins, stamps, and artifacts contributed by Jesuit priests over generations. It’s compact but rich in stories, and you can explore it in under an hour. 👣 A Personal Reflection If you’re in Mangaluru and have an eye for detail, a heart for history, or simply a love for places that stir the soul, St Aloysius Chapel is a must-visit. It’s not just a landmark—it’s an experience that lingers.

Beautiful chapel with brilliant frescoes. The blue and white exterior is most mesmerising. Photography inside is not permitted which is good. This encourages visitors to spend few moments in silence and pray with devotion, a value grossly missing in todays social media savvy times. Good luck to the management team in maintaining the sanctity of this revered space.

Can’t praise the chapel adequately. Our tour driver recommended a visit & since we were ahead of schedule, we dropped in with no notion of what to expect. The building is beautiful, but the exquisite frescos covering the walls & ceiling were the high point. We have travelled all over the world & seen some of the best frescoes and I’d say these compare with the best. The additional charm is that no one is rushing you & the visit is free. However, I would recommend a donation for upkeep of the frescoes

The collection of the Jesuits from many centuries at the Aloysium is a must see when you travel to Mangalore. They have a variety of displays from the images I've shared like the whale skeleton and tortoise shells. Additionally there is a huge stamp & coin collection, sea shells, vintage camera from many decades and a much more. Make sure to check the timings since it is open daily and closed for lunch between 1-2pm

A beautiful Chapel with beautiful paintings. Highly recommend to visit this church.

This chapel has a special place it my heart. Sunday mass timings 6:30 am (multilingual).

This Chapel has exquisite paintings on the walls, pillars , roof & every conceivable place, depicting scenes from Life of Jesus & other saints. It has lovely stained glass windows too. As photography is not allowed, I can't post any. This is a must visit place in Mangalore.

Very beautiful and one of the most popular Lord Shiva temples in manglore.🙏🏻 The place is really calm, quiet and peaceful . Morning times are the best to visit the temple to experience the calmness. Right from entering the gate of temple we feel as though we have stepped into a place surrounded by nature 🌿 and enchanted calmness. Here Lord Ganesha , Goddess Parvati , Lord Ayyappa and few other deities are also worshipped. This temple has lots of levels At the ground floor you can see the main deities which I mentioned above. When you climb stairs to firt floor you will reach a place with a big rectangle water tank divided into amall square shaped tanks. There are folklore legends that these water tanks hold medicinal values and taking a dip in these water tanks cure many diseases. The water in these tanks is filled by the great Kaashi Bhagirathi River. It flows out through an opening under Lord Ganesha temple. People can drink that theertham from there as well fill bottle to carry the theertham home. This same theertham can be filled in small brass vessels near to a stairs and we can do jal archana by our own hands to Lord Shiva which have to again climb few stairs to reach the Shiva lingam.🙏🏻 There is a big statue of Lord Hanuman if you climb little more further. The view from here is mesmerizing. There are a lot of steps to go up and down. So if you are planning to visit only the main deities then it's at the ground floor which you can reach by climbing only a few steps. But rest all the other areas have a lot of climbing to do. The experience was really awesome with the blend of nature and the place really keeps attracting me back.🙏🏻😊 Must visit temple 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Kadri Manjunatha Temple, nestled in the heart of Mangaluru, is one of the oldest temples dedicated to Lord Shiva. Believed to date back to the 11th century, its architecture bears the imprint of regional dynasties and offers a glimpse into the social, cultural, and religious life of the time. Over the centuries, the temple evolved into a vibrant center for community gatherings, extending its role beyond spiritual worship. The temple complex is enriched by natural springs, laterite caves, and sacred water tanks. At the rear, an elevated spring known as Gomukha emerges from the hillside. Local belief holds that its waters originate from the Bhageerathi River in Kashi, earning it the revered name Kashi Bhageerathi Theertha. From Gomukha, the water flows into nine adjacent ponds of varying sizes, each adding to the temple’s serene and mystical ambiance.

Kadri Manjunath temple also known as Kadri Manjunatha temple, dedicated to Lord Shiva in Mangalore, Karnataka, is one of the oldest Shiva temples. Hence, this historic temple is one of the must-visit temples in Kadri, Mangalore, for devotees of Lord Shiva. As per Kadri Manjunath temple history, the temple is really old as it was built in the 10th or 11th century and was transformed into a stone structure in the 14th century. Hindu and Buddhist histories intertwine with the temple. People practised Buddhism until the 10th century CE. The Nath cult was a mix of Hindu and Buddhist traditions and saw a decline, after which the Buddhist temples were converted into Hindu places of worship. Furthermore, as per the words of poet and writer Govinda Pai, ‘Manjunatha’ refers to Lord Shiva and ‘Kadri’ is a part of Kadri Vihara, a Buddhist monastery belonging to the Vajrayana cult. Kadri Manjunath temple has references in mythology related to Parashurama, an incarnation of Lord Vishnu. After slaying the Kshatriyas, Parashurama prayed and appealed to Lord Shiva for a place to live. Lord Shiva directed him to seek shelter in a new place called the Kadrivana. Paying heed to the Lord’s words, Parashurama, after an immense struggle with the ocean king, secured the place that he occupied near the Kadri hills to set up the Kadrivana for Lord Manjunatha. Consequently, the place became the abode of Lord Manjunatha, where devotees now flock to the place for the Lord’s blessings. Kadri hills are also mentioned in the “Bharadwaja Samhita,” a Sanskrit text. Hence, Kadri was famous for being the abode of Lord Manjunatha (Lord Shiva) in ancient times. The presiding deity of Kadri Manjunath temple is Lord Manjunatheshwara, worshipped as a Shiva Linga. There are also shrines dedicated to Lord Ganesha and Goddess Durga in the temple. Furthermore, there are beautiful bronze idols of Lokeshwar, Avalokiteshwar, Veda Vyasa, Machendranath, Gorakanath, Shringinath, Buddha etc in the temple. The Lokeshwar idol is one of the oldest bronze idols in India. Also, the Saptha Mantras became the Saptha Theerthas or the seven ponds. Gomukha, a natural spring, is found in an elevated location near the temple. According to popular belief, the water from the spring is that of River Bhageerathi in Kashi; hence, it acquired the name Kashi Bhageerathi Theertha. Before entering the temple, people dip in the nine ponds, which contain water from the natural spring. There is also a Shiva Linga further up, where people fill vessels with water from the natural spring and perform Abhishekam with their own hands. There is also a shrine dedicated to Shani Dev. The annual festival of Jathra Mahothsava, held for nine days during January, begins on the Makara Sankranti. It is celebrated with pomp and religious fervour. The distance from Mangalore to Kadri Manjunath temple is 5.3 KM, and Kadri Manjunatha temple is about 346 KM from Bangalore. By Air Mangalore airport is the nearest airport, which is about 12.4 KM from Kadri. From there, you can hire a cab to the Kadri Manjunatha temple. By Train Mangalore Railway Station is the nearest station to Kadri, which is about 3.5 km away. From there, one can take a cab to the Kadri Manjunath temple. Mangalore Railway Station is well connected to all the southern states via rail. By Road Mangalore is well connected to the other major cities by road. Numerous KSRTC buses ply in the area, making it convenient for tourists. Tourists can also hire a cab to reach the Kadri Manjunatha temple.

This is a must visit temple if you are in the vicinity of Mangalore. It dates all the way back to the 10th-11th centuries. There is a fresh water spring the source of which is supposedly the Bhagirathi river in Kashi, hence considered very holy. There are also caves that date back to 4-6th century AD. They are purported to be visited by the Pandavas.

Visiting the Temple in the morning is such a calming experience. The cool breeze, the faint sound of temple bells, and the early sunlight just sets a peaceful tone for the day. The place feels really pure and quiet at that hour, away from the usual crowd. The architecture beautifully blends old-world charm with spiritual energy. There are also smaller shrines around, and the natural springs near the temple are believed to have holy water. The surroundings, the small pond, and the greenery around the hill just add to the charm. One of the best parts is pouring water over the Shivling. There’s something very soothing about it.

One of best temples of Mangaluru. A must visit and enjoy the yummy anna prasadam during the lunch. I was amazed to see many school and college kids in their uniform at the lunch to enjoy the free and tasty food they provide everyday to the devotees. Please note wear some kind of socks during summer as it will be gruesomely difficult to walk on the stone floor in hot weather.

Big temple complex with scenic hill view in the backdrop, where main deity is lord siva along with lot many other sanctrums inside the complex such as Ganesha, Iyappa, durgaparameshwari, Hunuman , etc. major attractions being the water coming through the Nandhi, and 7 rejuvenating water bonds on the hill. Said to be visited by many yogis in the past.

I have visited the Adorable Claim Temple many times during my stay in Mangalore. It is a truly divine place. During the Navratri festival, the temple is beautifully decorated, and the Goddess is adorned with different alarakaras each day, which look absolutely stunning. I recently visited during Navratri, and the light decorations along with the Goddess’s alarakara made it a memorable experience. Though it was a bit crowded, I was blessed with a wonderful darshana. A highly recommended place to visit when you are in Mangalore!

Very famous temple and Very powerful goddess. Its best to visit the temple during early morning and evening, because it's peaceful during that time. But it's irritating at the afternoon, specially during Anna prasada. The management will be so rude that time , they don't allow you to eat peacefully at one place, they will be yelling at you all the time . They behave like the conductor in local bus , they will be keep on saying, don't stand here go there etc . 🙄 The management people specially during the Anna Prasada are the worst . Accept that the temple is great, beautiful goddess, everyone should visit.

Daily Pooja at 6am morning, 1pm in the afternoon and evening Pooja at 8.40pm everyday except on Friday (9pm) Temple has ample space for parking in front of temple The darshan was smooth and well-managed, and the priests at the temple perform the rituals with devotion. As my in-laws are from Bolar, I start my activities only after visiting Sri Mangaladevi Temple when in Mangalore

The Mangaladevi Temple in Mangalore is a sacred and revered destination. Although there isn’t a designated parking area, we managed to park along the roadside. It is said that during the festive celebrations of Amma, the temple becomes very crowded, so we chose to visit on a quiet evening. The atmosphere was calm and peaceful, allowing us to have a pleasant and fulfilling experience.

My visit to the Mangaladevi Temple in Mangalore was truly peaceful. The temple has a quiet charm that makes you slow down and feel present. The goddess is beautifully adorned and the darshan feels calm and uplifting. The temple grounds are clean and well maintained. I went early in the morning, and the atmosphere was especially serene with the sound of chants in the background. There’s a strong sense of history here, and you can feel the importance of the temple to the local community. The whole experience leaves you feeling grounded and positive. If you’re in Mangalore, this is a temple you shouldn’t miss. It’s a wonderful place to sit for a few minutes, pray and soak in the peaceful surroundings.

You can feel the might of the great sea here. Amazing. Mind blowing. The beach is enclosed in both sides sadly, and even in the front due to it being monsoon so not much to do but sit and stare. If you are lucky you can even spot a few peacocks. Note: They charge you Rs. 100 per 1.5 hours for the umbrella chairs, the non-umbrella benches are free.

🌊🐚Perfect for a beach picnic, you can swim too! 🏊‍♂️ Although some parts of the bech are polluted, you still have plenty to see and roam around. Theres shade too! 🏝️ The beach tree park is lame, you need to pay for the beach there just to walk 100 meters. no worth it. 👎 instead, enjoy the natural beach 🤭💖 There's horse and camel riding too!! 🏇 the guys are respectful and kind. ❤️ You'll have a good time here. dont forget your summer caps tho! 🧢👕🏞️😉

Very crystal clear, clean and neat beach of South. Beautifully manage by local people and well maintained. This beach itself is fantastic. Overall I found it was relaxing and beautiful escape, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful beach experience.

Tannirbhavi Beach in Mangalore is a hidden gem for anyone looking for peace away from the hustle of the city. The shoreline is wide, clean, and far less commercialized than most popular beaches, making it perfect for long walks, sunsets, or simply sitting by the waves. The sea breeze here feels refreshing, and the golden hour views are absolutely worth the visit. What I loved most is the calm and uncrowded vibe—you can actually hear the sound of the waves without constant noise around. However, since there aren’t too many shops or eateries nearby, it’s better to carry your own snacks and water. Also, swimming can be tricky because of the strong currents. Overall, Tannirbhavi Beach is a beautiful spot to unwind, capture stunning pictures, and experience coastal Karnataka in its raw, natural form. 🌊✨

Lived up to the expectations of a Blue Flag award. To get here, you take a short ferry ride from near Sultan Bathery across the Gurpur river, followed by a quick 400-meter walk. The month I was here (July), the tides were high and barriers along the shore kept us from entering the waters. Such a beautiful spot to spend time at. There are mini cafes at the entrance where you can grab a quick bite during your visit. Sorry I don’t have the best pictures!

Tannirbhavi Beach which is a blue flag beach awarded by Foundation for Environmental Education (FEE), India for that meet high standards in water quality, environmental management, safety, and sustainable tourism. Essentially, it signifies a beach that is clean, well-managed, and environmentally responsible. The beach was very gorgeous, neat and I really fall in love with the beach. Since its rainy season and lot of high tides around in Arabian sea, Beach management asked visitors not to enter into the sea and they put barricades around the sea. Worth visiting.

A Hidden Gem – Thanneer Bhavi Beach, Mangalore Thanneer Bhavi Beach is truly one of Mangalore’s hidden treasures. Just a 30-minute drive from the heart of the city, this beach offers peace, beauty, and a deep sense of calm. What surprised us the most was that we were the only people there! It felt like a private beach. The place is clean, well-maintained, and full of natural beauty. The sand is soft, and there are so many beautiful sea shells—kids will love collecting them. The colours of the sky during sunset were just magical. The photos and videos we took don’t even do justice to how stunning it looked in person. Historically, Thanneer Bhavi has been known as a peaceful riverside spot, and over time, it became a calm coastal beach visited mostly by locals. Unlike the more popular beaches, this one is quiet and serene—perfect for those who want to enjoy nature without the crowd. If you’re visiting Mangalore and want to experience the raw beauty of the sea, Thanneer Bhavi Beach is a must-visit. You’ll come back feeling refreshed and connected to nature.

Machli is one of those places that really shows you why Mangalore is famous for its seafood. The flavors are bold, authentic, and full of that coastal charm. I tried the crab boneless ghee roast which is outstanding – perfectly spiced, rich in taste, and cooked just right. The fish ghee roast is just OK. It’s not the cheapest restaurant in town, but for the quality of seafood and the consistency of flavors, the price feels justified. The staff here are polite, attentive, and quick to serve, which adds a lot to the experience. The ambiance is simple yet welcoming, with the lively buzz of people enjoying their meals giving it an authentic coastal restaurant vibe. If you’re in Mangalore and looking for a place that balances taste, service, and atmosphere, Machli is definitely worth visiting.

The food here is great, and the ghee roast items are absolutely delicious. They're so rich and flavorful, though, that you should eat your other starters first. Pro-tip: Save the ghee roast for last! If you eat it too early, its strong flavor will overpower everything else and make the other dishes taste a bit bland. I highly recommend this place!

If you love seafood, especially coastal/Mangalorean-style food: Machali is definitely worth a visit. The specialties (ghee roasts, fish thali) are very popular for a reason. For value: It offers good portions and a decent price for what you get, though it's not cheap cheap. If ambiance matters to you: Be ready for a lively, crowded place rather than a relaxing, upscale dining experience. Timing tip: Try to go during non-peak hours to avoid long waits.

Machli serves some of the best Authentic Manglorean Dishes in Mangaluru city. Their fish, crab and the prawns dishes are very fresh and delicious. Top notches in quality purely give homemade feelings. I never had any dine in experience here, I prefer to carry home!!! Place is crowded all the time especially on the weekends. Atmosphere is kind of rough but they do have a great people to manage the place. Food comes out really quickly, I never had any disappointment!! Tons of different flavors and the dishes to try, I love Neer dosa only serves during dinner time. Place is too hot, really hard for me to dine in…..specially with the family. Prices are reasonable. Parking is plenty.

Had the most delicious lunch at Machili! The seafood was super fresh and every dish was absolutely yummy and flavorful.😋 We had the Fish Curry Thali with Boneless Crab Ghee Roast, Prawns Fry, and Pomfret Masala Fry — all perfect! The rasam with the thali was sooo tasty.🥹 A must-visit whenever in Mangalore!

Absolutely loved my experience at Machali, Mangalore! The seafood was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked — each dish tasted truly authentic. The white pomfret ghee roast is my favourite. The ambience is simple yet warm, giving that charming coastal vibe, and the service was quick and friendly. Easily one of the best places in Mangalore for seafood. The only downside is the long wait during peak hours.

Absolutely loved my experience at Machali, Mangalore! The food was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked, every dish tasted authentic and delicious. The ambience is simple yet warm, giving that coastal charm, and the service was quick and friendly. Definitely one of the best places in Mangalore for seafood lovers. Highly recommend everyone to try it!

Located within the high circuit house area and has a good view of the low lying surrounded areas and the road below. A good ambience with plenty of parking space along the road. Felt like more of an overpriced and slow service. Even a similar restaurant in bangalore would give a better price for the quantity or service provided here. We had ordered neer dosa along with prawns ghee roast. The ghee roast was delivered initially, later hot rice and chicken gravy and neer dosa bit later. When asked why the neer dosa was so cold, were told its made in the morning and kept. Why couldn't they serve it initially as requested by us if it was ready. The chicken pieces served were not that good and was salty.

I visited Gajalee restaurant as on 18th Jul’25 at 1:30PM IST & I ABSOLUTELY Loved it. Real and authentic Mangalorean food served with a big smile and absolute no expectations in return. A True experience of Our Mangalorean cuisine with a detailed explanation on the spice level and how the food looks and served and goes well with what? Hoax are the folks who are surprised with the bill when they couldn’t afford and claim the food and services are bad. shame on such imposters who are a disgrace to our Mangalorean community. Jeevan who severed me & the stewards Ganesh who was overlooking at my orders was so humble and quick and ensured every details are observed and served to the T. If this is read by the hotel management team, they DEFINITELY have to give a RAISE to these folks… Thank you Guys!!! Not sure why this restaurant get such low ratings but these guys really deserves a raise and the service, ambiance are crafted to the perfection. Food takes its time and if given the time to cook to that perfection the food served to you is more than heavenly and this Gajalee perfects that matter, unlike some experts a street Dharshini hotel experience and claims false comments and ratings. Let’s encourage more such restaurants & the people who give their best to ensure the CUSTOMER SATISFACTION is met at the peak.

Gajlee Seafood Restaurant is a great spot for fresh, flavorful coastal dishes. The seafood is well-prepared, portions are good, and the taste feels authentic. A nice place to enjoy local flavors if you're a seafood Ilover.

Best Sea Food Bar & Restaurant, located inside Circuit House (I also surprised to find this new hotel, got through Trip Advisor top 10 Hotels in Mangalore). Heritable style hotel . Tasted drinks, Frawns Tawa Fry and Fish Mix Biryani. Tasty and superb. Try Once.

Absolutely brilliant location& ambiance. Coming back here for lunch after almost 15 + years.But this time the food was not amazing as expected. Everything was average - ghee roast prawn looked better than it tasted, fish pulimunchi was good but I have had much better , neer dosa was heartless. The only highlight was the butter garlic squid .. spot on and really has that garlic kick.

Food & Taste 3.5⭐️| Ambience| 3.5⭐️|Price ₹₹₹| Service 3⭐️ | Parking 5⭐️| Washroom 3⭐️ Visited Gajalee during the Diwali weekday and it was too crowded. The coastal food was very tasty and authentic, but the long wait times and slow service were disappointing. The wait staff seemed completely overwhelmed, and customer service took a backseat. Prices are on the higher side, though there’s plenty of parking available.

Lovely food. Plenty of options and really well cooked. The favourite had to be the Mutton Biryani and Tandoori Lobster. Staff were incredibly friendly. Price is quite reasonable too.

Loved the old-school diner vibe here. I came for dinner and tried their fish fry… really crispy and full of flavor. The taste was spot on, and the portion was good too. Service was quick. Definitely a solid spot if you’re craving something fish 🐟 and satisfying.

Best fish fry in the town. Their preparation is authentic and spicy. Ideal for food lovers, dont go there expecting comfort, it's not a luxury hotel. But if you can wait to find a table, the food is worth the wait. Take an auto, so that you can just favour your food and return back without the frustration of finding a parking spot.

Straight to point…if you are fish fry lover you will get 2-3 varieties of fish fry which you have to satisfy and return.. Over hyped and bit expensive. We visit Mangalore and have plan of having sea foods.. So price of expensive fishes should be reduced in coastal regions.

One of the famous fish hotel in Mangalore. Hotel is very old run by the family in hereditary. Major advantage of the food here is it's so homely. Hotel has got special receipe of fish fry which is fried powder. People visit here to taste this powder specifically. Unlimited meals is served for 50 rupees which will have pickle, veg curry and fish gravy. Price of fry vary everyday based on fish availability and its market price. Hotel is situated bit interior of Mangalore port but everyone will guide to the place. There is no separate parking for the hotel need to stop your vehicle on the street but these street will not have dense vehicle population. Ambience of the hotel is good I feel it's renovated recently. There is seating available at roof top as well. And there is family room to which bachelors are not allowed. One more speciality here is they serve rice water( called as Teli in tulu language) instead of normal water. So you don't have to request for hot water. It's already hot and healthy too. And staff here are too good. Serving style still remain the old way that you need not order by looking at menu. Instead they get all fried fishes in a tray you can chose anything looking at it. And they will give price as well if you ask them. You can order other fishes as well if it's available they will fry and serve you. But it may take time you should have patience to wait.

The location is not far from the railway station.It will only cost you ₹50 for an auto.The restaurant is too crowded and congested during the peak noon hours and there is no one over there as to who came first.You will have to find a vacant table all by yourself, that too by waiting besides the guys who are already having food.Once you get a seat, don't make the mistake of ordering the fish items without asking the price.Yes, the fish items are costly, but ordering without knowing the price might burn your pocket.Moreover there is no menu card or anything over there.Yaa, the food was above average, but considering the hussle to find a seat and then the price of the fish items, I don't think it was a value for money experience. On a lighter note,I would like to thank the senior guy in my team who managed to scare off the family that was having food in the table before we took over ,or else, it would have taken quite some time to find a vacant table.

Very nice food and best place for the lunch. The fried powder on the fried fishes and the prawns are really awesome. It's mouthwatering when I see it. The narayana hotel can even be improved by booking the dine in advance through calling or booking on zomato, so that the customer can avoid the waiting for the orders. They can also even improve the restaurant by extending the dining area and providing the parking space.

Famous restaurant known for their distinctive Masala powder sprikled over Fish... served with rice and fish gravy. Prawn and other starters are not available. Fish only meal.

Pallkhi restaurant one in mangalore city has one of the best ambience with classy sporty awesome look. We have been here along with my family for the lunch on weekdays, since it was long standing old restaurant we expected to have a great meal. We started with murgh banjara kebab which was tasted staled very old and marinations literally come out from the chicken pieces while server serving the dish surprisingly too bad. Chicken malai tikka again it was not rich creamy or buttery, didn’t tasted well like malai Kids had a vegetable noodles it was kind of tasted average. For the main course we had manglorean silver fish curry and it was watery, tasteless , flavored kind of funny, not authentic at all… We had only few bites with the Neer dosa. Service was pushy, waiter who took the order looked gentle but again not kind enough. Presentation of the food is not pleasant, looking at the quality of the food and service not the worth place to dine in. May be I would choose this place to have one quick chilled beeer!! Overall clean restaurant with fantastic ambience, we greatly disappointed with the poor service, and poor food. Free parking and Valet parking is available.

We had our office Team lunch here. We tasted almost 15+ food items. 😍 Food tastes excellent and it was tooo yummy 😋 Specially to mention the mutton recipe and prawns tawa fry was soo good. The meat was properly cooked and was too soft. 😋 Taste was perfect! 👌 Service was great. Staffs were friendly. Well maintained and was clean. Located at the heart of Mangalore city. Valet parking is available. Must visit place to have food when you are in Mangalore.

Today I had an Auriferous dispensation of refined expressions in pallkhi I had been here after longggg time. The mutton rogan gosh was immensely scrupulous following with butter naan, thumbs-up masala soda was mind bogging, but prawns ghee roast was good but it can be the best. The two female servers (sorry I didn't ask their names) was immaculate in their proffesion. Overall I loved it hope to revisit once again... 💐❤☺

An amazing dinning experience, very good food whether north indian or Chinese, both were very delicious. Staff also were very nice

Excellent dining experience in the heart of Mangalore. Very good service and yummy food. Sprite chilli drink was excellent and so were the prawns the roast. Biryani was good.

Pallkhi Restaurant in Mangalore, we have been visiting since ages and has been our favourite place for food. We have even organised parties here. However we are highly disappointed today with the unhygienic experience we had in the restaurant. We ordered rotis for ourselves and for the child. The first plain roti we asked for came placed on a used dirty plate underneath. We were shocked to see it when our child lifted the plate and had a bite of the roti. There was some green gravy used plate and also the same stuck to the roti. We informed the lady staff who was serving us. She replaced the roti. The minute we folded the second replaced roti to give our child we found a big hair on the roti and again we were upset and our child too. This happened not once or twice but thrice. The manager Mr.Raj; who we addressed this issue to, again replaced the roti and apologised (third time) saying it’s a small hair of the eye/ eye lash. Our food was replaced. Our child was sad, the wait period was longer and we wasted our time in all of this. Diwali dinner was already messed up. We were seriously very disappointed and displeased with the experience and we asked the helper boy to pack our remaining food, (the one who bought us the finger bowl) an entire portion of Rogan josh/gosh (mutton) and some remaining gravy from another bowl as well as 3/4 the quantity of chicken chatpata (we couldn’t eat it as we had mutton Banarasi too) The minute we came home we realised that again we have been duped, the entire portion of Rogan gosh mutton which was sent for packing wasn’t packed only three pieces were packed and a tiny container of chicken chatpata. After a terrible experience with unhygienic tandoori rotis not once but thrice. We thought at least the actual portion size send to be packed would be accurately packed, looks like the food has been knocked off by the young steward helper boys. Please take corrective steps to penalise the ones who are misusing your brand. This restaurant was always close to my heart but after this incident I am shocked how the staff you have kept can ever be trusted with our food. If we pay for our food as your customers we appreciate if our food is hygiene, safe and also taken care to be packed accurately. Please check the cameras and see who has knocked off the portions of food. Hope you will find corrective measures. I have increased the star rating from one star to three stars, also edited the review a bit. As per the request of the restaurant staff and manager. Thank you for addressing the issue and for personally contacting us, Ms. Varsha (HR) and Ms. Priyanka (Service) and for meeting us personally to discuss and for acknowledging your mistakes and promising for corrective measures. We appreciate your gesture of understanding and for respecting your customers and for going out of the way to apologise and meet us. Thank you. We wish you all keep up the brand of Pallkhi and serve us better like old times. Thank you

Enjoyed the food especially the paneer ghee roast! The most delicious paneer ghee roast I ever had! Spinach cottage cheese soup is their speciality. Must taste for everyone who visits this place. Sushila, Dhanush and Rahul gave us the best hospitality and we friends thoroughly enjoyed our visit ter! Will come back soon. Thank you loads!

Visited one of the famous seafood restaurants in Mangalore. Reached around ⏰ 11:15 AM — the place was open but serving hadn’t started yet. They began serving around 11:45 AM, and by then it was almost full — shows how popular it is! 😋 Ordered Fish Thali meals 🍛, Anjal Tawa 🐠, and Bangda Tawa 🐟. The fish was super fresh, tasty, and flavorful — just a bit oily but totally fine! 🤤 The restaurant has good seating 🪑, excellent customer service 🙌, and the staff are friendly and quick to serve whatever you need 🍽️. 💰 Price-wise, it’s quite reasonable for the quality and quantity you get. 🚗 Parking can be a little tricky since the road is a bit congested, but manageable. Overall, it’s a great spot for families 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 and anyone who loves seafood 🐡. ✨ Highly recommended! Excellent service, fresh food, and great vibes! 🌊💙

This was my second visit after a very long gap. My first visit was memorable one and had high expectations. Here is what we ordered (3 adults) - meals 6/10 - Anjal Tawa fry 7/10 - Bangude Tawa fry 8/10 - Prawns golden fry 6/10 - Prawns Hinguadda 8/10 - Silver fish rava fry 8.5/10 Meals are very basic with rice & fish curry replenishing options. To our disappointment the fish curry was made of dried fish which we don’t enjoy much so we ordered Prawns Hinguadda. It came with good quantity of medium-small prawns and taste was fresh but bland and not the punch of flavours expected in coastal region. Silver fish was freshest and enjoyable but quantity was less compared to what we have normally seen elsewhere. Bangda & Anjal(seer fish) didn’t leave expectations. Anjal fish masala was salty and both fishes were not fresh (not stale) but seemed frozen fish being used. My personal opinion masala was ordinary and nothing out of world or that we would remember after the meal. Prawns golden fry was disappointing. It felt as if refried prawns were served as the prawns were rubbery and coating was 10 shades darker to golden. Service was fast & good. We got a place to seat even at 130 pm as some tables were empty. At the time of entry it gives that homely feeling especially in the first seating area but the restaurant needs to understand that people come from long distance so having a single washroom kept in not easily accessible area was a let down. If was disappointing meal. I can understand to an extent the fish freshness due to monsoon but lacklustre currys & masala are bad signs. I will certainly not recommend.

Limited dishes on the menu is always a good sign. Absolutely delicious food. Finding parking here can be challenging as the road is very narrow. The place opens by 11:30AM and by 12PM the restraunt is almost full.

One of the best seafood restaurant in Mangalore. In Mangalore I had non veg at most of the restaurant, but Giri Mangas is my first choice. Very tasty food, prawns ghee roast, rice, fish curry yummy 😋🤤

Fish thali Basic was average nothing special about it. Pomfret tawa was super tasty. Prawns chilly was utterly dissapointing. Overall pocket friendly and fast service

Best Seafood ever! Beats any and every restaurant in India. Must try the golden fried prawn, tawa fish paired with Thali with boiled rice. Most authentic place with great service and they love to feed you.

Very old fish eatery in mangalore which is open only til afternoon .. we get very fresh fish and taste is also unique but the curry is better in some other places in mangalore but worth the visit for fish Fry and coconut drink and kocum juice
