Vivanta Mangalore Old Port Road

An excellent stay and thoroughly enjoyed the warm hospitality and ambience. Special note of thanks to Soni, Nisarga and Lady Helina for their excellent services. I was staying with my parents and your staff ensured all needs were taken care of. Keep up the good work and all the very best.

This is the third time we are visiting Shetty Lunch Home and I must say the quality has dropped significantly.Staff: The staff is very rude. They just take the order and then vanish. They try to force expensive dish on us. We were clear on what we needed. The staff even repeated the order and when the fish was delivered, they gave us Tawa Fry instead of the Rava Fry. We returned and the staff starting to argue with us.Food: we ordered chicken, fish and some vegetarian food. The ghee roast was good. Lemon chilly chicken was below average and then the fish rava fry was the worst. The fish wasn't fresh at all for a coastal city.Service: They are quick at taking the order, but take a lot of time to serve. We spent more than 2 hours here. We ordered beer and they took 30 minutes to serve.Overall a bad experience.

Had an outstanding lunch here. Neer dosa with Prawns ghee roast was simply amazing,packed with bold flavors and perfectly spiced. Their signature dish is definitely the Prawns ghee roast. It's a must-try! Tried the Chicken ghee roast and Anjal Fry too they were okay, solid but not standout. The Egg Biryani and Veg Biryani were decent, good for a quick bite.Highly recommend for seafood fans

Shetty Lunch Home, Mangalore is truly one of those iconic places that every food lover must experience at least once. This restaurant holds a special place in Mangalore’s culinary history as it is widely known as the birthplace of the legendary Chicken Ghee Roast. That alone makes it a landmark for anyone exploring authentic Mangalorean cuisine.The location is another big plus. Situated right in the heart of the city, it’s extremely convenient for commuters and easy to reach, whether you’re a local or visiting Mangalore for the first time. Do expect a healthy crowd during lunch hours, which honestly speaks volumes about the popularity and consistency of the food. Despite the rush, the service is fairly efficient and well-managed.Coming to the food ’ the highlight without a doubt is the Chicken Ghee Roast paired with neer dosa. The balance of spices, richness of ghee, and tender chicken makes it an absolute winner and worth every bite. If you’re someone who prefers rice-based meals, then the mutton keema rice is a must-try. It’s flavourful, hearty, and satisfying ’ definitely something you can order without a second thought.The pricing is quite reasonable for the quality and portion sizes. A meal for two typically falls in the range of ’800’’1000, which feels justified given the taste, authenticity, and overall experience.Overall, Shetty Lunch Home is not just a restaurant, but a piece of Mangalore’s food culture. A must-visit place for food lovers, especially if you want to experience authentic, iconic local flavours done right. Highly recommended! ’’’??
