Hotel Food Lands - Indian restaurant in Mangaluru - Dakshina Kannada, India

Located in ballalbagh near City cooperation office. Provides delicious South Indian food. But I wouldn't recommend the American chop suey as it was very sweet and tasted bad. The chicken sweet corn soup and chicken lollipop was decent enough. The service was good. Their desserts were really good and affordable Do try their custard ice cream and chocolate brownie.

Hotel Food Lands is a restaurant located on MG Road. It has been in business for at least two decades. During my college years, I remember the ambiance was not too family friendly, so I never got a chance to visit with my girl classmates. However, over the past four years, I have been visiting Foodlands at least once or twice a month with family or friends - especially those visiting from out of town. On the ground floor, the ambiance is bright and the seating arrangement is spacious. Hotel Food Lands also has a Family Room in case you want to enjoy a nice wholesome meal with your loved ones, talk loudly, eat, drink and be merry without disturbing others. In the month of April, some of my college friends thought of meeting up as it had been a long time. We wanted to eat lunch at a place where many of us have not visited before and at the same time, choose a place where we could sit leisurely and enjoy our meal. We shared a list of places and finally chose Hotel Food Lands. There were 7 of us that afternoon - Three Vegetarians and Four Non Vegetarians. So we ordered a wide array of dishes to suit all of our taste buds! Beverages: To refresh us and tone down the spice quotient, we ordered the following two beverages. They were served in a tall glass and we felt so energized after taking the first sip: Mint Lime Soda Fresh Lime Paneer Ghee Roast - While in the Coastal City, eating Ghee Roast is Mandatory! Whether it is Paneer or Chicken, this is a appetizer you must order. Looking at the rich color of the masala will make your mouth water. The dish is semi spicy so ensure you tone down the heat with some water or a tall refreshing glass of Fresh Lime Soda. Egg Manchurian - The eggetarians devoured on the second appetizer. It was loaded with slit green chillies, onions capsicum and peppercorns. The egg was soft and well cooked. Baby Corn Manchurian - The contents of this dish were the same as the previous one. The only difference is this was with Baby Corn. It was lip smacking delicious. Masala Papad - This popular appetizer is the hit of any party. Crunchy, because of the papad and onions and sweet, thanks to the tomatoes and coriander leaves. One bite is not enough and you will feel like eating more and more. Anjal Masala Fry - One of the reasons people love visiting Foodlands is because of their Seafood. The number of items are so long, that you will be wondering which dish and fish to order. Hands down, everyone decided to order the Anjal Masala Fry. The fish was soft and masala was generously coated and fried to perfection. One portion of this fish can be shared between two people. Paneer Butter Masala - Whenever I have to order a Paneer Dish, I normally order Paneer Butter Masala. The Paneer Pieces were cut into bite size cubes, and were soft and juicy in every bite. The gravy was thick and loaded with flavor. You can pair this dish with a bread or rice item. Mushroom Kadai - We thought of ordering another main course in case the Paneer Butter Masala was not sufficient. However the portions are quite hearty and just enough for three to four people. The mushrooms in the dish were roasted and had a robust flavour. The gravy was not too thick or thin. Bursting with lots of flavour, this dish teamed up well with the Butter Kulcha. Butter Kulcha - The Kulcha was soft, warm and buttery. It went well with the Main Course and also with the leftover Masala of the Paneer Ghee Roast! Our reunion went off well. We enjoyed catching up over two hours and relished the dishes we had ordered. The service was quick, waiters were friendly and also suggested dishes for us to order. The restaurant was crowded from the moment we entered and all the tables were full when we left. There is seating on the first and second floor in case you want to sit in a darker environment. I would recommend Foodlands for lunch or dinner, with a small or huge group. Ensure you make reservations, or you might have to wait to be seated - regardless of whether it's a weekday or weekend.

Being from Mangalore and well aware of the coastal cuisines tastes. I would rate it 4*. Because I felt it can be much more better. But definitely one can visit and try it out. They make decent food. Reasonably priced and good place for families. I preferred service to be little faster. As the waiting time is not justified. I even noticed that staff's are not smiling and well groomed. When asked for some good item recommendation. They didn't show any interest in that. A new visitor to the place will expect some recommendation. This really boosts sale's and customer friendly place. Limited parking area available. They do have Ideal Ice Creams. They have a attached Bar and restaurant.

For my taste buds Chicken biriyani 3.9/5 Prawn's biriyani 3.8/5 Squid ghee roast 4.5/5 Two storeyed restaurant Had to wait a little longer to get your food Good service

Extreamly useless and disastrous restaurant. THIS IS AN HONEST FEEDBACK. I HAVE SEEN MANY LONG ELABORATED FEEDBACKS WHICH ARE FAKE AND LOOK LIKE A COMMERCIAL. 1. Ordered normal water. Waiter forcefully gave bottled water 2. Bottled water costed Rs 30. Printed price on bottle was Rs20. And GST charged on MRP. 3. Ordered egg ghee roast. Which was waste. With egg shells in the dish. 1 piece of egg shell got stuck in my throat. 4. Rosted papad was a disaster 5. Green chutney was not fresh. 6. Extreamly slow service. Waited almost 10. min for billing and payments and 30 mins for each dish. 11. Manager was rude and useless.
