In the heart of BTM’s bustling lanes sits a restaurant that feels like a coastal escape. Mangaluru Kairuchi is where Bengaluru’s foodies head when the craving for authentic coastal cuisine strikes — from ghee roast magic to fresh seafood curries that carry the soul of the Konkan coast.
The Ambience: Simple Yet Coastal-Rooted
Mangaluru Kairuchi doesn’t try too hard with fancy interiors. Instead, it channels the vibe of a traditional coastal eatery — clean, modest seating, aromas of roasted spices in the air, and the comforting hum of a family-style restaurant. It’s the kind of place where food, not frills, takes centre stage.
The Food: A Coastal Symphony on the Plate
The restaurant’s menu is a treat for seafood lovers and vegetarians alike, with recipes that feel like they’ve been passed down through generations. Highlights include:
Chicken Ghee Roast 🍗 – Their signature dish. Fiery, smoky, and coated in ghee-laden masala that clings to every bite.
Neer Dosa & Chicken Sukka 🥞 – Soft, lacy neer dosas paired with the dry, spiced chicken sukka — a heavenly coastal combo.
Fish Curry Meals 🐟 – The star of the house. Served with boiled rice, this is homely, tangy, and absolutely comforting.
Kori Rotti 🍛 – A Mangalorean classic — crunchy roti pieces soaking up a spicy chicken curry.
Vegetarian Coastal Specials 🌿 – Don’t miss their southekayi sambar and traditional avial for those looking beyond seafood.
To wash it down, their solkadi (kokum and coconut milk drink) brings the perfect refreshing endnote.
