Bombay Lucky Restaurant is located at Mohammed Ali Road, Bunder. This legendary place is running since 1917 and very famous for their biryani. When I was searching for best biryani in Mangalore then I came across this restaurant. We had mutton biryani, chicken biryani and chicken dry fry. I really loved their chicken dry fry, chicken was hard outside and juicy inside. I loved mutton biryani over chicken biryani because mutton was so tender . This biryani was very mild and flavorful when compared to hyderabadi dum biryani. This biryani was very close to home made biryani, I really loved it. Ambience of this place is good and service was great. If you are craving for biryani in Mangalore then you should definitely visit this place. They also opened a new restaurant in Hampankatta area. I had mutton biryani and chicken biryani at Hampankatta branch, Taste was 💯 percent same.

Have been regular to this place every time I visit Mangalore and this place never disappoints for food or service.

Only place that is open till late.. serves delicious biryani, Kababs, Tandoori items.

The Biryani here reminds me of the Bombay Biryani.. and if you have had Biryani at Naaz or Noorani in Bombay, this will match up to it.

Tandoori and Kababs are also good.

Not to forget, service is fast n friendly.

Not a place for ambience though

Chicken dry fry and Parota. Bombay lucky is my go to place if I have cravings for some night tea and parota chicken. I have mostly visited BLR at 10 Pm or 11 pm for chicken dry fry and Parota or mutton biryani combo.. also the mutton chops.. these items with a lime tea at 11 pm in the night is exactly what I need .

One of my favorites. You get the best biryani in town here. The biryani here is my favorite and im sure you too will like it. The best part is you can visit this hotel even at midnight say 12 am. Shawarma also has a great taste and the dry fry which is available is my favorite. Wake me up and give it to me.. I'll eat it for sure. Lime tea is also famous. As far as i know the oldest(now renovated) and the best hotels in mangalore 😊

Visited this restaurant on recommendation of a friend. I was informed that the restaurant serves tender mutton and food at a reasonable price.

The location is a bit interior and can be tracked on Google maps. On discussion with staff, I was informed that the restaurant was originally termed Bombay as the food was similar to what was available in Bombay. Since the location was close to the port, it use to serve people arriving from Bombay. Gradually the name got changed to Bombay Lucky Restaurant.

The concept is quite similar to the ones available in the local Mumbai restaurants. We ordered:

Mutton Chops Masala fry
Mutton Kurma dry fry

Gravy portion is enough for one with one mutton bone piece.

Half Biryani: When compared to Bombay's biryani, the portion was one quarter. But the biryani was nice.

Rice Roti : Similar to Bhakri that east Indians eat.

Paratha

Mint Juice: Good for your tummy

Readymade:
Pineapple pudding
Litchi pudding

Ambience: ⭐⭐⭐
Service:⭐⭐⭐⭐
Presentation:⭐⭐

Quality:⭐⭐⭐⭐
Portion size:⭐⭐⭐⭐
Value for money:⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Overall worth a try.

I have been many times to the restaurant and most probably I have been there at midnight at around 12 and the food is served with the same energy and enthusiasm. I and my friends have been there in a bulk and there is a lot of ambient space for a group members those who come in a bulk and we all order the same the famous chicken biryani and a dry fry along with a refreshing lime soda Which makes us to come to an end of meal. I recommend the piping hot biryani with the gravy and tangy and spicy salad that's given with and the rates are so reasonable and best place to have lunch and dinner if u arrive late to Mangalore even if it's 3am in the afternoon or midnight 12. They are always ready to serve you food.

A group of friends with not so much money in the pocket but wants to have tasty food? Come on in! Try their Chicken dry fry, mutton biriyani, mutton chaps. Really good. Chicken biriyani was okay and chicken tikka was very similar to the dry fry but smaller. Loved the pricing too!

Good mutton chaps, mutton masala, sulaimani and late night food. That's what makes Bombay lucky hotel special. I feel so nostalgic to be in this place and wherever I get a chance I visit it. Most of my visits to Bombay lucky hotel had been alone.

Probably the only place in Mangalore wherein u get awesome food at 1:00 am in the morning on any given day.
And the place servers u so fast that ur out within 30 minutes with your gastronomic wishes fulfilled. Try their Butter Chicken (yes in Mangalore) with malabar parantha and chicken Biryani. For some strange reason they serve u hot water to drink.
A must visit if u happen to be in mangalore.

I visited Bombay Lucky during Ramadan.
The authentic Muslim biriyani is the signature dish and popular in Mangalore. The specialty is separate rice grains in Biriyani.
I was offered Ifthiar snack and something like hardened payasa. Also try lemon tea.
I am thankful for the hospitality and love.

Wow! What do I say about Bombay Lucky! It is a true life saver as it is open wayyyyy past the bedtime of most people! Even at 12 AM, the place is packed like crazy and finding a seat can be a tough ask. They have now added another top floor, but even that gets packed to no avail. The must try items include Chicken Biryani, Chicken Dry Fry and Lemon Tea. Despite the waiters having a tough and exhausting schedule, they always manage to serve with a smile!

Amazzzzzzzzing!! I would scream this loud enough for everyone to know :)

By the sight of the place it's a very simple restaurant consisting of plain tables and chairs without anything fancy to decorate it . But the food that they serve would surely captivate your soul . That's why they say the best food experienced is from the simpler places .

This place is open even during the late hours of the day when none of the other restaurants are functioning which adds to its advantage .

I love the mutton chops and chicken fry here . I could go on ordering them one after the other .
The pathiri (rice roti) and mutton curry is a bomb too .

You may find the dishes a little greasy but I think you can foresee it when the food tastes so yum and it makes your soul happy happpy . ;)

Last night I ve been here for the dinner,the restaurant looks ordinary with a very ordinary interior but the place is maintained well.
The restaurant is so crowded still managed to keep the premises very clean.
The dishes have got a minimum guaranteed fine taste.
Yesterday we ordered chicken biriyani,paya masala,chicken masala,mutton masala,mutton chaand,two different platters of chicken kabab all tasted good upto limit nothing was worse.
This place is a fine dining for a family to have food for reasonable price.

The best midnight food retreat in Mangalore!

POSITIVES -
+ Open well into the night (at least till 2 AM)
+ Good Muslim Cuisine
+ Incredibly Cheap
+ Quick Service
+ Option of Dining in your Car

NEGATIVES -
- A little low hygiene
- Not a great place to dine with Family (you could rather take a parcel)

MUST TRY -
* Chicken Dry Fry
* Chicken White Kurma
* Chicken Biryani

Bombay Lucky has for years together been Mangalore's favourite late night food haven. One of the only restaurants in Mangalore to serve proper dinner type food (not just snacks) post 11 pm up till around 2 to 2 30 am at least! The cuisine they serve here is the local Muslim type of Cuisine and it's pretty nice. The decor is not great. I wouldn't advise you to take your family here for a nice dinner (Though they have a family area). This is a place you'd rather go with your friends. If you want to dine with your family, you'd rather take a parcel from here, or sit in your car and eat (which is also an option that's offered).

The food here is great provided you order their specialities. You must specifically ask the waiter to suggest some Bombay Lucky Specialities that include their Biryani, Chicken Dry Fry, Mutton Chops, Chicken White (Curry), Chicken Kurma, Mutton Bheja, Khushka, Kerala Parotta Pathiri. What's definitely a must try here is their Chicken Dry Fry. Its absolutely fantastic. Definitely in my list of top 5 fried chicken of all time. The batter is so crisp and has the perfect balance in it's spice mix; the chicken is always tender and is served piping hot (freshly made). You absolutely cannot leave Bombay Lucky without trying their Chicken Dry Fry. Their Biryani is great too, with less masala but great flavours. The Chicken white kurma is a safe and great choice and goes well with the Kerala Parotta. The thing with ordering mutton here is that you can never say if it'll be tender or rubbery and tuff. The waiter will always say its tender. But over the years, there have been innumerable times that I've been served leathery mutton but a good number of times that I've been served tender mutton meat as well. So its a gamble with the meat being tender. You can wash down your meal with a classic Sulaimani Chai!

The service is rather quick but the hygiene could be improved. The prices are incredibly cheap! On the whole, this restaurant is more than you could ask for when your midnight hungers bother you!

The food is good for the price they serve, the service is fair compared to the rush they have, and the location of the restaurant is a bit difficult for people from far off places in Mangalore. But still the only best option to have dinner late night.If anyone could suggest me some other late night restaurant and cafes in Mangalore, that would be great!

One of the best biryani’s & chicken items in Mangalore. It was Super crowded and worth the wait ! I really loved their flavour. Single portion can be easily shared by two people. We ordered ghee rice,dry fry, coconut pudding (must try). It was the dessert which made the difference.This should be must visit place for Non veg food.
