If you are searching for a good place, for a break, in between Mangalore

Located on the Mangalore to Goa highway, this hidden gem is a welcome sight for hungry travelers. With ample parking and room to stretch your legs, it's the perfect pit stop to refuel before continuing your journey. The food is tasty and the service is prompt. However, it can get a bit loud and crowded at times, especially when tourist buses with large groups make a stop. Overall, it's a convenient option in an otherwise limited area.

While I was residing in Bengaluru few years back, I used to travel quite frequently to my native place in Goa. This restaurant was one of the very few places where buses plying on the Goa - Bengaluru route would stop for breakfast and dinner.The place used to be crowded most of the times. The service was quick. I mostly tried the dishes which were easily available in South India. Food was of decent quality and good quantity. Service was acceptable. There are not many restaurants nearby along the highway. As a result of that, this restaurant offers a better choice with decent standards. Prices are reasonable. Your experience can vary depending on the time of the day you visit as well as the waiter serving you. Don't go with too much expectation.

We visited for breakfast, we were a group of 9 adults 4 kids. There are two sections in the hotel in the same area floor. One section was completely full and only one table was available which was not enough for our group. The other section was half empty so we were about to occupy a table and we were instructed not to occupy any seats and instead we were told to wait in the other section for an additional table as only one table was free in that section. When we noticed we released that the section we were told to occupy was for Indians and the other section where we told not occupy was for Foreigners. We were shocked about this discrimination and felt really hurt that our own country people dont respect us! Service staff is very rude, food very costly. Food Taste was good.
