True to its name, Shetty Lunch Home serves authentic coastal cuisine. Good place for lunch and dinner. The food quality is good and the ambiance is also great, well done interiors . Price is bit high and they take much time(around 20-25 mins) to serve the orders. Other than that everything else is good.
Visited this place during my stay at Kundapura after hearing that this is one of the most famous restaurants. Was a little doubtful about the ambiance, but the family section is good enough. Ordered a beer and got some nice boiled peanuts to accompany it. Tried the Rava Fried Seer Fish here and it was excellent. And nothing to beat the OG Ghee Roast Chicken here. It was delicious. Its a must visit place if you are travelling around this place.
Very famous for their "chicken ghee roast".. and its really delicious.. Good and fast service... Tasty foods
![4]( "Recensione")
On my recent trip to Kerala, I stopped at the famous Shetty Lunch Home in Kundapura - a place said to be the home of the Ghee Roast Chicken. Was it worth the hype?
Taste-wise, I absolutely loved the flavours of the masalas used. It lives up to its reputation of being absolutely delicious and loaded with ghee. With an appam or neer dosa on the side it is addictive! And the amount of ghee they use in a chicken dish would put a gajar-ka-halwa to shame.
Surprisingly, the price of a plate of ghee roast chicken is Rs 770 which is double the price of their next most expensive dish. A way to make money off the most popular item, no doubt. The staff are either not trained well enough or don't care enough about making sure guests' questions about the menu are answered. We asked how many pieces of chicken come on a plate and the server told us 4. Since we were 4 people, we ordered 2 plates and ended up with 20 pieces of chicken. If he had to tell us that there were 10 pieces on a plate, we would have tried something different as our second dish.
Regardless, I'd go back! The chicken was yum and I really want to try the ghee roast prawns. I bet that would have been good too.

I was wanting to go to this place since very long and today I did.
This place is a must visit if you want to have the best ghee roast food.
Most recommended food- Ghee Roast- Chicken, Mutton, Prawn and Crab
Anjal Fry- be it tawa, masala or rawa fry(as I was there only for ghee roast)
The restaurant is lil old and the A/C rooms are very dim lighted which make it looks shady (dats why 3/5 in atmosphere)
This place serves liquor through out the day and doesn't take payment through UPI its just cash/card payment.
Parking 4 wheeler is lil difficult due to narrow roads and limited parking place.
Fantastic seafood, majjige dosa, and chicken ghee roast (the rich flavour reveals more of its complexity with each morsel). Service is prompt and courteous. The ambience is uninspired, but don't let that deter you from savouring their delicacies.
Best place to get ghee roast. I usually travel all the way from Goa to eat Shetty's ghee roast. While chicken ghee roast is their signature dish, i am fan of their prawns ghee roast. The service is quick, overall the taste is excellent. Only , i feel the items are slightly over priced and ambience is bar-like. Not really a family restaurant vibe otherwise it's perfect
One of the best and oldest restaurants with mouth watering food and Ghee roast is so amazing the taste and aroma of the ghee is just amazing
Nice place both for friends and family. They also have a separate section facilities for privacy.
The food is tasty and portion size is adequate. Service is okay.
Alcohol is served. They don't accept UPI payment only card and cash!
Every other normal food item is exceptional, except for the chicken ghee roast, personal opinion, its overhyped
Ghee roast was great
Sweeter and less spice than maharaja
Prawn ghee roast tastes great. Wish they removed the vein of the prawns. Had to do it myself. The chicken was overcooked and hard not sure if it needed to simmer longer. Anjal fry was fresh and good. The ambience is nothing to write home about.
The Food here is Amazing !! Especially the Chicken Ghee roast . But the waiting time for ordered food to be served was quite a lot and it's a bar and restaurant so drinks are available but with minimal options.
We had Tomato curry for veg and kundapur chicken curry along with Neer Dosa . Even this was quite good .
I would recommend you try the Ghee roast options . They are quite tasty
Contrary to few negative reviews, I found the food was good (chicken ghee roast, majjige appam) but buttermilk was not good.
Hygiene needs to improve seriously. We could not get AC room instead opted for cabin. Old structure no ventilation.
Chicken ghee roast price was Rs 650/-
No UPI, Parking is a challenge
This restaurant is very famous in Kundapura City. Tourists and locals visit here for their unmatchable taste.
This place is located at less than 100mts from Kundapura City Bus stand. It is located on a narrow lane road ( old road inside the city) and City and Express buses travel through this. Parking is what you need to worry here, few cars can be parked in the opposite lane or before the restaurant.
"GHEE ROAST" here is the best, bestestttt. It's must try. If you like ghee, then you can eat all alone, else with Neerdose ( thelidosi ) or Parota it goes well, you'll love it!
For the taste, quantity and quality the price is worth. But when compared to paying that price for a dish, it is very costly. Biriyani Quantity is less, pricing is more. Similarly for most of the items here.
When you're in Kundapura, don't miss to visit this place and try Ghee roast, trust me you won't regret.
A good friend recommended this place and specifically suggested we call them up and ask for a plate of ‘Chicken Ghee Roast’ to be prepared. Little did we know what this dish would offer! I was totally blown away by the dish and the tender chicken pieces roasted in ghee and the flavourful masala.
The AC dining hall has a dark ambience and the restaurant does offer liquor along with food. We loved the food overall and would recommend the place especially for the chicken ghee roast.
Parking is a big pain and other than the limited parking space available in front of the restaurant, you’ll have to part the car next to the court building and walk. Pricing is on the higher side - we ended up spending Rs 2400 for a lunch for 4 of us.
Please visit this restaurant if Kundapur is in your itinerary or even if you pass by this place (like we did).
Different experience in bangalore..Had ordered Chicken Ghee roast and Lemon Butter Garlic Crab.. Both of them were delicious..
