After quite a few claims by 'Coastal' and 'Mangalorean' restaurants in the city, this is one that actually lives up to its name!
Mangalore Pearl was a chance find and from there on, its the only Mangalorean place in Bangalore yet (other than my house of course ;)) that I will recommend to anyone ...
The ambiance isn't the best in the world and it doesn't sport any fancy decor but it is clean and nice and homely and that is all I am looking for!
Start with the Coccum Juice (Binda) and try to eat as much of the traditional food as you can ... the Sheyyos and the Sannas and the Neer Dosas with the obvious Mutton curry. Also the Pork Bafat ... that can't be skipped! Sannas and Pork Bafat make the classic Mangy cuisine addictive :)
Overall it is a stunning place to go to food wise and you won't regret it! I am not so much of a sea food freak so I haven't really tried much of it though the prawns are quite nice ... (see I get enough sea food at home ... so I don't bother with it outside!)
This place is very easy on your wallet and a meal for two with extra servings of coccum juice can easily be accommodated for under 350 rupees!
