shetty lunch home

shetty lunch home is a place that has every mangalorean's heart. the food served here is authentic to the city's coastal vibe while the seating gives you a glimpse of an old world charm. the staff here is extremely polite and service is quick; which makes it an even better eating out experience.

coming to the food; we ordered a seafood thali to get a tiny bit of all of their dishes that they had to offer.
the seafood thali had the following items-
•squid ghee roast
•anjal tawa fry(kingfish)
•clamps curry
•dried fish chutney
•sandige( crackers)
•rasam
•sabji
•pickle
•buttermilk
•rice
•prawn curry
•neer dosa

all the items on the plattter screamed coastal flavours; with their generous coconut flavour andbthe freshness of the sea. my absolute favourite had to be the squid ghee roast; which just melted in your mouth!

all in all; the dining experience at shetty lunch home was an absolute treat! it's a definite must visit if authentic mangalorean flavours is what you're looking for

i m a big fan of anupam’s coast to coast located in bangalore. i was not aware that shetty lunch house was also part of anupam’s, till i paid a visit this time.
we were here for lunch last week. tried their fish thali, kingfish tawa fry, prawns rava fry, crab ghee roast, neer dosa, veg meals, kori roti, mango lassi. loved everything we had from here. prawns rawa fry was super crisp and tasted fresh and yumm. the crab ghee roast had the perfect rich ghee roast masala. both the meals were delicious. the fish thali had variety of fish preparations, unlike the usual one fish curry in a thali. kori roti was so good here, it’s a must have just like everything else we had!
service was good too.

amazing food and value for money ... the best place for traditional mangalorean food... must try is thier ghee roast which is a signature dish and also the fish curry rice was yummiest... this is definitely a place you would want to visit again.

1.chicken garlic was ordered and it was very tasty and authentic. taste of a real mangalorean food with the required spices..
2.the pomfret fish was good, however the masala was bitter.and also it seemed like one fish was overly charged at rs. 800.

been here on a dry day. the ghee roast items tasted very bad. be it chicken or mushroom. the only item that tasted good was neer dosa with cashew nut masala. squid was not fresh and tasted hard. when asked to the staff, they said that is how it is. baby corn rava fry was also good. but other items including fish was below average.

ambience is crappy and loud. service is bad and slow. ghee roast and rawa fry masala was bitter and the rawa fry tasted like acid. waste of money. not worth visiting.

very very average place. highly overrated. you'd be better off in any of the other well known seafood places in mangalore.

prawns ghee roast is like heaven.. spicy and balanced with ghee.. anjal tava fry is yummm... with a glass of wine.. just complets the whole experience...

in my attempt to try out well-known fish places for i m sucker for seafood
i landed in @shettylunchhome located in hampankatta .
decent place which is one of go-to place for most of the mangaloreans i must say
and truly agree with it 🤗
.
ghee roast squid on my plate was scrumptious and i went on hogging so much all by myself 😁
and couldn't get enough of it 🤪
.
rawa fry (banguda) gave me complete home feels and nostalgia
although i don't prefer bony fishes
i enjoyed this one 😍
and to complete my meal i had the veg thali as my main .
for more core mangalorean's style dishes follow @sweet_walks
also i m open to suggestions !
please do let me know of best authentic places to hog from (since i m new in the city) in the comments .

visited this place after reading reviews online. the sea food thali was out of the world. kori rotti was amazing. would recommend this place to all who visit mangalore

was pretty disappointed with the taste..the masala fry for bangude was done with ghee roast masala n the pulimunchi neither had puli nor munchi

best hotel for having tasty, hygienic and healthy food in mangalore.

nothing... just everything was absolutely at its best yummy fresh...5 stars & must try kinda place ,if you are looking for coastal cuisine... just fab !!!!!

growing up in mangalore, there were few, if any, restaurants that served local cuisines (the three major being the konkana, the bunt and the catholic) that one could recommend to non mangaloreans. located across the road from don bosco hall (the home of konkan natak sabha, a cultural bastion of the konkani catholic community), shetty lunch home single handedly revolutionized the food landscape of mangalore. serving delicacies in the tulu/bunt style of cooking, the restaurant specializes in sea food. among the best bets here are the fish thali, bangude (mackerel) tawa fry, bolenjere (silver fish) rawa fry, neer dosas, and the all popular chicken ghee roast, a firey red semi gravy chicken dish, dripping with the goodness of ghee. 

i can, with confidence, few restaurants have lived up to high quality standards consistently like shetty lunch home has. everytime i travel back to bangalore, the owners are kind enough to pack a tub of ghee roast well enough to survive a nuclear holocaust. the restaurant is an evergreen favourite for both locals and tourists alike. 

pics: mackerel/bangude tawa masala, silver fish/ bolenjere rawa fry, special sea food thali (anjali/kingfish masala fry, pickle, butter milk, dry prawns chutney, sol kodi/punapuli saaru, vegetable, marwai/clam sukka, squid ghee roast, prawns curry, with red rice and meet dosa in the center)

do's : ghee roast, kori rotis
don'ts : everything else.. ( anything after the ghee roast will not impress you much )

yes, this place is so hyped for their chicken ghee roast (absolutely top notch).. you won't be disappointed at all if you are a first timer.. the service as everybody else mentioned was super quick... (some said they showed attitude, did not encounter anything as such)
here are my ratings.

ghee roast @ ₹500 - 4.5/5 ( full plate.. sufficient for 5-6 good eaters)
uruval ₹200 - 4/5
kori roti ₹200 - 4/5
neer dosa @ 60 - 3.5/5 (if ordered with ghee roast )
squid pepper @ ₹200 - 3/5
virgin colada(cock) @ ₹250 -2.5/5
pina colada (mock) @ ₹200 -2/5
ckn biriyani @ ₹180 - 3/5
service 4/5
manchow soup : 😒
bud magnum@ ₹230
vfm 4/5
ambiance - no complaints.. yet nothing fancy (we took the one on the first floor with a view of the road), you also have a ac family dining.. but we preferred the former.

lunch order closes @ 3.30

conclusion : must visit for the very first line of this review

ps : though a recommended place for their seafood dishes n thali we dint try anything as the price were on the higher side due to the monsoon.

hope this helps..
