Dolphin lunch home is a great place to have a hearty seafood meal in Manipal without spending too much.<br/ <br/ The ambience is quaint from 11:30 1 after which it starts getting crowded.<br/ <br/ I have visited this place on multiple occasions and ordered various dishes, some of which were heavenly while a few failed to impress me.<br/ <br/ Standard meal <br/ <br/ 2 pieces of deep fried chicken (called kebabs in Karnataka for some reason), Rice (White/parboiled), Curry (Fish/chicken), Dry shrimp chutney, A sabzi which changes daily, and pickle.<br/ <br/ Price: 60<br/ Rating:10/10<br/ <br/ This is a filling meal in itself for a very reasonable price. The chicken is delicious although it doesn't look very healthy.<br/ <br/ Seafood that I've ordered <br/ <br/ Squid Rava Fry<br/ <br/ Price: I don't remember, around 80 120<br/ Rating:2/10<br/ <br/ It was fried too much making it hard and chewy. I wasn't able to finish the plate.<br/ <br/ Anjal Tawa Fry<br/ <br/ Price: 180<br/ Rating: 10/10<br/ <br/ As good as masala fried seer fish can be. It was served fresh and the piece was quite big.<br/ <br/ Bangude Tawa Fry<br/ <br/ Price: 40<br/ Rating:9/10<br/ <br/ The fish was great, masala was great. I'm not a huge fan of the fish itself, but here it was of a decent size and wasn't too bony.<br/ <br/ Prawns Deep Fry<br/ <br/ Price: 120<br/ Rating: 7/10<br/ <br/ The prawns were pretty small. Nothing too special. They were crispy and tangy.<br/ <br/ Neer Dosa meal <br/ <br/ Price: 40 for Dosa<br/ <br/ Dosas are soft and very yummy. I've had them with the following:<br/ <br/ Chicken Sukka <br/ <br/ Price: 50 (half)<br/ Rating: 7/10<br/ <br/ It was a coconut based chicken curry. Its taste reminded me of Malabar flavors. The coconut was a little too overpowering.<br/ <br/ Prawns Sukka <br/ <br/ Price: 120<br/ Rating:8/10<br/ <br/ I feel this does justice to the prawns where the deep fry fails to. It's served with a lot of masala and so it tastes better with neer dosa than with rice.<br/ <br/ I feel this place is one of the best lunch eateries in Manipal close to the academic section. Although some dishes are average, I think it deserves 5 stars due to its value for money. It's perfect when you know what to order.<br/ <br/ My go to drink to accompany the meal is lemon flavored Sipra, a local variant of Sprite.

Chicken meal with chicken curry and chicken kebab is my go to at this place. They also have some amazing seafood items. Great food at very reasonable price! Meal costs only 60₹. Definitely a must visit for traditional Kudla style food!
