I visited this restaurant for the first time after frequently going to Pai Tiffins, and unfortunately, I had a very disappointing experience here. The food was average at best--I'd rate it 5/10, but I've seen people hyping it up as if it's a 9/10. I ordered the North Indian meal combo, and honestly, it was one of the worst I've ever had. The rice was dry, and the curries lacked flavor. What really ruined the experience was the staff's behavior. They were extremely rude. One server, in particular, was very disrespectful. I politely asked for extra rice and rasam, and though I was told it would cost extra (which I was fine with), his tone and attitude made it seem like I was asking for charity. When I asked for curd, he rudely said in Kannada, "idu free all idkke hnn aagtde" ("This is not free, you have to pay for it")--which I found very unprofessional and insulting. I understand that restaurants charge for extras, and I was willing to pay, but there's a way to communicate with customers. No one expects free food at a restaurant--we all come prepared to pay. It's the tone and treatment that matter. I hope the management seriously looks into how the staff treats customers, as this kind of experience can really drive people away.

A cool option for a fully vegetarian restaurant in Manipal. Very polite staff and good service. Food is great be it for breakfast or lunch/dinner. South Thali, and chats are best. There are lot of options in ice creams. Their signature Matka Chai options are splendid

I recently dined at this place and had a generally positive experience, with minor drawbacks. While some reviews mentioned poor service, I found the staff to be quite attentive and helpful. Perhaps they've addressed previous issues. The food was definitely a highlight, with a wide variety of options available. I sampled several dishes, including the Paneer cheese masala dosa, Paneer masala dosa, Sada dosa, and Gobi Manchurian. All the dosa items were well-prepared and offered a generous portion of Paneer. The Noodles were decent, and the North Indian meals were also quite good. While the food was tasty, I wouldn't quite call it exceptional. It was solid, well-executed, and satisfying, but didn't necessarily have that "wow" factor that would make it truly memorable. One thing to be aware of is that the restaurant can get quite crowded, especially during peak hours. This can lead to longer wait times for your order to be taken, so be prepared to exercise some patience. Overall, this restaurant is a solid choice for a satisfying meal. The food is good, the service is attentive, and the prices are reasonable.

I'll get to the point straight !! **The wheat flour is infested with red beetles** We had ordered a South Indian meal, It came with 3 puris, out of which one I ate hurriedly since I was hungry after waiting in KMC for hours! But when I looked at rest 2 , they were completely infested with red beetles. 5-6 crushed , in both the puris, when I informed the management ( it was AC section , where you expect a slight more hospitality in a hotel which charges 20-30% more for AC services ) the out rightly said it doesn't look like beetles , and they decided to get me two new puris! As if I should believe the atta was brand new here !!! Ofcourse I understand it happens at our home kitchen where we don't make chapatis or puris everyday , but this is the hotel in bustling side of Manipal with daily turn outs of more than 2000 people for breakfast, lunch , dinner. I refuse to accept the cook/chef didn't know of it ! The hygiene maintenance is so poor that 5-6 beetles in a single roti is overlooked! All I needed was apology ! But I was asked if I'd like to carry the two puris home!? Well now I think I should have brought it to test in lab. I hope the message is clear ! SERVE RIGHT FOOD !!! And yep I paid full price, cause hey atleast compensate and just throw out the infested atta .

Spacious place with a total of 2 floors. The food was good but the service was a bit slow. Rava masala, alu paratha, and gudbud are must try. Golibaje was not that good. Curd rice was okayish.
