My favourite place in terms of grill chicken choices. Best combination of grilled chicken , salad , kubbus , and mayonese with pepsi. A combination which would make your day if you had a tedious day. No a spacious restaurant. High people inflow at nights

This Place Was Indeed A Life Saviour For Us On 31st Dec 2018 , Earlier We Had Taken Parcel From Hotel Quality ( Kudla Restaurant ) Since The Food At That Hotel Was VERY VERY BAD We Came To This "Pop Tate's" & Took Grill Chicken & Kababs, We Were Very Lucky Enough To Get The Juiciest & Tender Grill Chicken With Wonderful Thick Creamy Mayonnaise Sauce & Very Flavourful Kabab Which Was Perfectly Fried In Oil  . This Hotel Helped Us To End The Year 2018 On A Wonderful Note. Thanks "Hotel Pop Tate's" For Making This Trip To Mangalore A Memorable One

Chicken Shawarma & more importantly their Grilled Chicken are 2 of my favs there. I like that chicken meat remains moist when they grill it to perfection unlike the dry meat of a Tandoori method. Shawarma could be slightly bigger but frankly no complaints. Great place for an affordable snack/dinner..!!!

If you are in mangalore and if you want try the best chicken grill in town then you must visit Pop Tate’s. The best in mangalore for sure and also at a very reasonable price you won’t get chapatis or parota here you only get chicken grill and other few chicken items and Naan. So if you want add some spicy grill and spice up your taste buds then this is the right place to visit.

Looking for a Juicy Grill with the Perfect spice in Mangalore?
Head over to PopTates, Balmatta.
One whole Chicken is Worth 330 Rs.
They do not have Delivery service.
I got this Parcelled at home.
Would taste even better if you have it from their Outlet.

My go to place when I want a quick shawarma or rotessari chicken. A quick in and quick out. You can have your snack in the car itself. They also sell chicken gravies by the portion which you can get home as a take away. A very straight forward, small economical joint that serves tasty food.

I accept that the roast and the shawarmas are good, but my favourite and probably everyone's would be the chicken kebab.The price is very cheap compared to the mouth watering dishes they prepare.
Cons would be, except for chicken roast, kebab,shwerma ,rest are not as good , Biriyani is poor and if you are a vegetarian you have no options.
Restaurant has to work on its ambience.
Its particularly a take away restaurant.

A friend took me here, though not a fan of chicken ended up glued in front of the grill and took home the mighty chicken chilly and fested, the chicken is very aromatic, spicy and juicy. Its so different from the ones we get in the Middle Easts. (Of course different place, different taste) will certainly go for more if i am at Mlr...

This place is more suited for takeaways or home delivery because the seating area is quite tiny and most of the time packed. The Shawarmas and kebabs here are something I can vouch for. Their grill chicken is lip smacking as well. Very succulent pieces of chicken with the right amount of spices. The prices are reasonable as well. However, no dishes on the menu if you're a vegetarian. Definitely worth a try.

It's a small eatery where you get simple food which is delicious. They are very famous for their grilled chicken which is a delight to savour. Its really tender charred meat with good marination and pickled onions for salad. A tip to follow here is to eat it hot as take away makes the chicken to shed its juices and makes the crunchy skin covering soggy. Their shawarma also is good. We mostly order for their biryani on occasions in bulk like 1kg and the rates are very reasonable which is INR 1200 and can be easily eaten by 15 people. The place is preferably for quick bites and not full service dining.

The best grill one can get in Mangalore. It's succulent and just so so so good. The place is small and always packed with people and it can get stuffy. But in the end all that wait is worth it. Not just Mangalore, being in Bangalore, I feel this is the best grill even when Bangalore is taken into account. The city just doesn't know how to get around to making good grill. Visit pop tates and learn people. Amazing stuff.

Small joint with great food. Placed on a one way street with no parking( Two wheeler preferable). Grilled chicken, Shawarma roll, kebab and chilly is exceptional. Service is fast. Food is awesome. Easy on the pocket. Better for a takeaway as there is limited seating (Two or three tables). Simple softdrinks are available. Enjoy!

Pop Tate's one of the best chicken grill in Mangalore..!
"Excuse me boss Ek full dena spicy n juicy n uska masala"
So this hw we mangaloreans order chicken grill full or half..!
service is fast n friendly n served hot with spices n juicy n lemony onion rings..!
if u want to make ua chicken grill still more better ..plz do ask them to put the extra wastage masala (its like a gravy) of chicken grill for better taste n u can try the chicken wastage masala with kuboos.
(wastage masala of chicken grill is that when they cut the grill into pieces, and the layer of grill masala reaming on the cutting plate,n later on they take the wastage masala n keep aside.Many people don't ask for wastage masala,if u have red my review n u haven't tried the masala, plz do try it)
thank you......

This is one among the older restaurants of Mangalore, and one of the pioneers in Shawarma and Grilled Chicken (Rotisserie) in Mangalore. Yes, Danish weren't the first guys! :DI have fond memories of my childhood where my dad used to bring stuff from these guys every alternate sundays. The grill, the shawarma, the grape juice and another boneless chicken dish (I have forgotten the name) are the ones I love having every time I visit this place.

Well i would give it a four star but the ambience slashed it. For a restaurant that has one of the best grilled chicken in Mangalore shouldn't be like this, they can definitely do better..atleast a bit. The service is poor, the utensils are cheap overall, too much into the cost effective business.
Then why a 3.5 star?
Only the grilled chicken. You can just go on having it until you're full. They have a very special garnishing masala on the surface that steals the show. Will surely keep visiting only for it.

Hands down, the best grilled chicken in town.
Probably the only thing I'll ever order here.
What's stopping me from giving a rating of 5?
Well the ambience.. Sorry this place doesn't have any. It's got only a limited number of seats and its almost impossible to find a table during the peak hours (read 7 to 9 pm) they serve food in plates which look like recycled aluminium foil and to end it all of.. Is the very weird wash basin near by. Why would I still visit this place??.. We'll its for that grilled chicken. And the shawarma is pretty decent too.

This is by far the best place in Mangalore top get grilled chicken! I've been here many times and I can vouch for the fact that their grilled chicken with Kerala parotta and a bottle of lime soda is to die for.
The mystery is in the spices added to the chicken right after it's grilled. The chef's spice selection gives the chicken there its unique taste. I found the shawarma to be quite unremarkable, nothing out of the ordinary.
Seating is definitely a problem as it's a tiny shop with less than 20 chairs inside. Parking is another problem as it's on the side of the main road with designated parking area. The staff serve you very well and are very efficient.
Regardless of its parking and seating issues, Pop Tate's is one restaurant in Mangalore that every Non vegetarian MUST visit. And if you can't get a seat there, just get a takeaway. It's just as good.

Let's be honest the only reason this eatery is getting low ratings is cz of the ambience .keepin that aside I think this is the best place to have a shawarma in mangalore. Not everyone knows but they do serve biriyani and other small side dishes I guess. Even the grilled chicken is fantastic.

A nice place to have grilled chicken and shawarma. Biryani is just ok. Car service is also available provided you manage to get a spot right infront of the restaurant. The place is very small and the ambience is not so good and this wouldnt be a good place to go in a group or to have a party. A recommended place for take away.

The one stop spot for the best grilled chicken and shwarma in Mangalore. There ain't no place better. Every delicious bite of the shwarma brings me back memories of my college days and how we had to go to poptates for a bite whenever we were in Mangalore. At a small ally behind juice junction, go there for its yummy grub!

Shawarma and Grilled Chicken at its very best. I always prefer a take away from this place. Seating is cramped and not suited for dine in. Although I have experienced dining with couple of extremely foodie friends, thus negating these factors. Overall rating is entirely for the food.

If you're in the mood for shawarma or Arabic food then this is a place you can try out. Small shop directly behind juice junction. Their menu mainly includes shawarma, biryani and kababs. Ambience-wise it is very lacking and could definitely do better. Pricing seems quite worth it for a place like this.
Not a very mind blowing experience but it's worth a try once.

Heard this was the first place in Mangalore to start grilled chicken and Arabic food.
They have good tasting food, the mayo is fine but the flat bread isn't that great.

The environment.. well that isn't that great. A small shop, very crowded but the prices aren't that cheap either for them to give an excuse for the quality or the ambience.

Good food. Price is questionable. Ambience is very poor.
Try it if you are in Mangalore. Not that you would love it, but it wouldn't make you cry either.

"I recently had the pleasure of dining at Pop Taste and trying their Mangalore Grilled Chicken, and I must say it was an incredible experience. The chicken was perfectly cooked, tender, and bursting with rich Mangalorean flavors that left my taste buds dancing with delight. The ambiance of the restaurant added to the overall enjoyment of the meal, creating a wonderful dining atmosphere. The staff were friendly and attentive, ensuring a memorable dining experience. If you're a fan of grilled chicken and authentic Mangalorean cuisine, I highly recommend giving Pop Taste a visit. It's a culinary journey that you won't want to miss!"

Grilled chicken/Shawai is the signature item here. It is very tasty and the pricing is also quite good. The place is little bit crowded and the service also quite average. They close at 11 pm as per their time schedule. But I didn't get any food when I reached here once around 10 pm. 28.06.2022 Tried the Shawai once again and it was pretty average. Disappointed.

The full meat shawarma and grill rotisserie are the best here- no competition for the latter. If u go after 8.30, there will be huge rush, pls plan well and go to avoid delays. The biryani is also good here. There is no family option, u can park the car nearby and have it hot instead of take away, losses all the taste and richness.

Would recommend this spot. A bit congested and would always be over crowded. Wouldn’t be the safest place to sit and eat in the current scenario. The chicken is tender and small. I loved their onion side which goes well with the kubbus(bread) that they provide. Bread and mayo would need to be purchased separately. A must place to visit if you’re nearby. The masala they put on the chicken is what makes it yum!
