Sindhi Mess (MIT)

Absolutely loved the food at this mess! The staff is friendly and the service is quick. If you're looking for a place with delicious food and a decent budget, this mess is definitely worth a visit! If you want delicious home style cooked food come here. The only problem is they offer lunch and dinner only and it's closed on Sunday. Otherwise, it's the best mess in Manipal.

Posting it as an alumni. Been there in Manipal from 2007-11 and Sindhi mess was my go to place. Holds special memories. The food was good then definitely compared to hostel messes but the feel was much better. Sindhi Anna, the mess owner will be loved always. Will post pics when i get back there

The place looks like it has an air of mystery to it when you first enter. Like entering someone's house to eat but every room is the dining room. The side dishes are kept on the table and can there is no restriction on how much you can take. Rotis are made freshly and served to you by the helpers. At the end you can wash it down with a cool glass of lassi. The price as of November 2023 is 100 for veg , 110 for non-veg and 30 for lassi. Way better food than the options nearby for the same budget and also more nutritious. Unfortunately they don't serve breakfast and on Sundays

Very good north indian food at economical rates. Specially the Dal is really very good. You can join it on monthly basis or pay daily. The place isn't very huge. There are small rooms with not very good lighting. From hygienic point of view it seems just fine.

This place serves Jain food and is situated on the MIT campus. This mess has been running for 45 plus years and is one of the oldest cafeterias in Manipal. Started out as Wilson's Mess back in the day, served KMC & MIT students alike. If you wanted delicious home style cooked food, you came here - a favourite among Chinese & Malaysian students. The mess closed down in '74. A student body back then started Sindhi Mess, and as the years passed, the ownership changed and pure home style. Jain food is served now. In recent years, non-veg has been served by public demand. Parcels are also provided for. Some things we are known for are our Allu Paratha, soya Bhaji, Gobi Manchurian, Panner masala, and last but not least - tasty daal!! Oh, did I forget the lime juice popularly known as sharbath is to die for ? So if you wanna have a simple meal cooked like as if you were at home, come over. You can enjoy a hot meal and have a pleasant conversation with your friends. FYI - I'm the grandson of the founder of Wilson's Mess - Bon Appetite!!
