Mangala Bar & Restaurant - Restaurant in Mangaluru - Dakshina Kannada, India

Heaven for Beef and pork lovers.... The restaurant is one of oldest in Mangalore, serving some famous pork dishes. We came here on a hunch (4 members) for some drinks and light food, and were not disappointed. The food is amazing for Mangalore, especially their Mangalorean dishes. We tried Rava fish, beef pepper roast, chicken pepper roast and devilled pork. All these dishes were superb and complemented the cold beer and shooters. The waiter who served us was extremely friendly and courteous. The service is quick. They do run out of draught beer for some reason. The restaurant has a fairly clean washroom. The restaurant is divided into ac and non ac sections, so even smokers can take delight. Will try out their appam next time as I believe this one of their specialty. The atmosphere can get crowded inside, as the ac section is a bit cramped Will be definitely going back

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.

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!

A very mixed experience. Tried their pork chops first and it was very good. Comes with onion rings and sauteed vegetables. 2nd time around was their buff roast, pork chilly with neer dosas which was really good. The butter garlic squid was very poor. Beer is served cold and is reasonably priced.

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.

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!
