« Back to Halli Mane
May 11, 2008
good southie snacks
Halli Mane has the look of a fast-food eatery masked by a dim-light terrace seating place that, frankly, is not great but a quiet enough place to enjoy a meal.
Firstly, the seating arrangement is not great; small hard chairs. Depending on the crowd you might have to wait for a table, and I hear it is very crowded on weekends.
The food! Yes, the dosas and the appams are sizeable in portions, and are crisply cooked, served piping hot. We tried a curry preparation with the dosas and it was good. We ordered some cauliflower and baby-corn manchurian for starters and, surprisingly, it was very well made. A suggestion, stay away from the herbal drinks. The ice-creams are fresh and delicious!
Serving time is a sore point, but given the crowd it can be excused. The place is clean enough but can be better.
