Had ordered pork pepper roast and prawns fried rice . Pork had less quantity and fried rrice had good quantity
Went there on a Monday evening thinking it would not be as crowded. But I was wrong, the place was packed as usual. Ordered my favorite Chicken Sukka for starters and ended up ordering another one and finishing it off all by myself. My husband and I felt it was the best we've ever had, we can vouch for it. A MUST try!!
My husband ordered the much hyped Phat Freddie burger, but found it to be average.
Overall, had a great meal. What made it more pleasant was being served by a very friendly staff member who cracked us up.
This place, for its authentic Mangalorean dishes, is a must visit when in town,.
Been here on Saturday after a decade. Used to visit during college. Was not very crowded but decent. Ordered prawns masala fry, which tasted good as also the quantity was satisfying. They have fish in green masala on weekends. The waiter on asking said that its some green color used for masala which made me a bit skeptical to order. So i asked a person at the counter, looked like the person who manages the place, who was very clear that they DO NOT use any color but the masala is of mint and palak. He recommended green masala ghee roast of anjal. For me that was the best green masala i had in recent times. Green masala fish roasted in ghee with 80s music in the background. Highly recommended, a must try.
Advice to management - getting people to work at restaurants is very very difficult in Mangalore as most of them are from northern part of Karnataka. But advisable to train them.
A very old place in mangalore I have been their guest since very long time and they have always kept me happy with their food and customer satisfaction

I would rate this 5 as this restaurant was my hunger saviour during my college days. I just love their fish meals. The ambience is great and the staff are obsequious. This is the place for pescatarian as you find many options in sea food. The owner is very humble and cheerful . This is all time favourite and I highly recommend this place.

I always wanted to give this place a try and finally did it last month. The place was quite full even though it wasn't a weekend. The ambience must say 5/5 is too good. The interiors and the wall arts were amazing and looked like they were inspired from an American cafe or bar. The service was also too good.
1)WRONG ISLAND ICE TEA : Yes guys! Don't take me wrong. It is WRONG Island Ice Tea. I do not know if you guys know about it but for me it was something new because I always heard it as Long!😅. And yes there wasn't a long glass but it was more like a wine glass. Its a must must try cocktail here. 5/5
2)PHAT FREDDIE CHICKEN BURGER: Well I was aware that this place is much famous for burgers. They have variety of mouthwatering burgers. My bothers whenever they visit Mangaluru they crave for this burger. They also serve beef as well as pork burgers also. I tried chicken burger and it was my life's best burger. 5/5
3)FRIED ONIONS: This is a pretty running snack here. They really serve it the best possible 5/5.
4)FRIED CHICKEN : Like any other fried chicken. Could have been better 3/5.
Would love to visit here again and try many more dishes. Yes! Now its me who's craving for the burger😅
Sumptuous beef n pork dishes.. (try barbeque pork and beef pepper fry), Aappam n stew make a great pair.. Noisy.. decent music, good Ambience..
Amazing ambience , Music was good . Nice place to be with friends . 10% off for students . Tried the burgers. They were THE BEST. The cheese loaded fries were also amazing . Biryani was good though the quantity is reduced as of before . Kheema rice was also tasty😍
I have been visiting Mangala Restaurant and Bar for more than a decade now. This place has been my mandatory pit stop whenever I am in Mangalore or else the trip stands incomplete. This place have had many transitions in terms of decor and ambiance yet they always managed to serve authentic and delicious Mangalorean cuisines.
Amazing place for pork lovers... fatless pork chilly and pork bafat tastes yumm... loaded nachos has crispy nachos topped with kheema and cheese... tossed chicken is a must try starter... price is a little expensive for the quantity... nevertheless food tastes yummy as always...
Delighted with the food taste and quality. Also the variety and options are plethora.
However this place seems to serve its own loyal customer base. The atmosphere was mass and not easily likeable (atleast for us who came from Blr).
Aside the above, food won our hearts. The Sannas were best.
Great food. It will be easy to find tables on a weekday.
The food is great I loved the pork dishes and other starters available. The service was excellent as well. The servers were prompt in taking orders and serving the food.
One negative I've found is that it gets quite noisy in the evening and it becomes difficult to speak to others on your own table.

This restaurant owns one of my earliest childhood memories. From visiting with my dad to get take-out food on special occasions to growing up and meeting up friends at this spot, one thing that has remained constant is the kind of food quality that you get here, which is unparalleled in taste!
I've visited this place perhaps uncountable times and have had pretty much everything on the menu, both old and new.
Some of my favorites and must-try dishes are:
1. Bacon wrapped prawns
2. Pork salad
3. Chicken chilli baffath/pulimunchi
4. Squid pepper garlic/pulimunchi
5. Pork chilli/sorpotel/garlic/roast/chops and others
6. Beef chilli/garlic/65/roast and others
And not to mention,
7. Phat Freddie or Goan Phat Freddie Burgers!
These dishes are extremely good and a classic; you'll never be able to leave the plate empty!
The service here is decent to good. Some times it gets a little busy and then it's a bit slow, but no complaints otherwise. Management are friends, so I won't say much 😛.
Parking is on the street in front of or a little ahead of the restaurant and it's safe to say that there's no problem in finding a parking spot.
I would rate this 11/10, if I could. I visit here with friends every time I visit Mangalore and we have a blast along with a nostalgic and sentimental value for the place.
Cheers! 🍻
Visited here after 3 years and the place has changed. Upper floor has been closed due to rental issues and the place feels congested. Food was delicious as usual.

It’s pricey but delicious! The only dishes I didn’t like were the beef ones. Burgers are so yum! Try it once . Too expensive otherwise. Have only had it as takeaways so for what you pay, you get small portions.

The bar previously was famous for it's Mangalorean catholic cuisine and for Phat Freddie burgers as i could see each and every table had burgers served to them and that's the reason i visited. Few things i tried from their menu.
Beef roast in bbq sauce - loved the dish overall, the meat was perfectly cooked but was a little chewy although the quantity could have been slightly better.
Freddie Beef Burger (regular) - Very juicy and flavourful, the buns are soft and fresh but a little on the sweeter side. The patty was nice and juicy. No fries or coleslaw instead they just give potato chips.
The Goan Phat Freddie Beef Burger - flavourful juicy burger which included goan chorizo, a piece of bacon and some veggies and potato chips as sides.
Phat Freddie Beef Burger - again very similar to The Goan burger except no chorizo but only a piece bacon and chips as sides.
Overall the burger had a very similar taste to it and tasted very nice. The ambience was decent and staff were friendly with good service. The prices are reasonable. Parking is limited for 4 wheelers but there's plenty of space by the main road.
I go here every time I travel back to town. I would go here every week or bi-weekly when i lived in Mangalore. The food is amazing. The service is great and the vibe makes me feel like I'm home! Everything on their menu is amazing so I'm not quite sure what to recommend specifically. I do miss the old days when we could dine-in upstairs but it doesn't stop me from going back again!
"Mangala offers a delightful dining experience. The ambiance is charming, and the service is attentive. The food is flavorful and well-presented. While prices are reasonable, portions could be a bit more generous. Overall, a recommended spot for a satisfying meal."
Feel free to adjust and expand on this review as needed.
This visit to Mangala was a pitstop during our drive. The menu is so vast it takes a while to decide what to have, but most of the locals seated near us knew what they wanted. We tried the kori roti, beef ghee roast nachos, crispy fried pork in sweet chilli sauce and pork chilly with appams. Food is very tasty I definitely want to come here again as there was so much on the menu I wanted to try.
