Reviews Malika Fine Dining

Food was decent and drinks are good. Coconut oil was used in everything making it weird who aren't used to it. Service was really slow and expect to atleast an hour if you wanna try the special dishes.

It was the new year eve and my family thought it'd be a better option to dine out. So we stepped out unplanned and sought suggestion from the auto-rickshaw driver. They came up with couple of good restaurant names of which they insisted on visiting Malika Fine Dining. We reached the restaurant which is housed in the White Lotus Hotel and found almost about 5 - 7 families already waiting. This led to late realization of need to be early as it's new year eve. The restaurant manager Mr. Sharad Kotian politely informed us a waiting time of at least 20 mins. And looking at the tables we noticed that many had just started ordering food, we started exploring other options. We were family of seven and it would easily have taken more than 20 mins to accommodate us. After doing all our maths we arrived at a logical conclusion that we will stay to experience Malika Fine Dining's hospitality. Now since we took a gamble we really hoped the experience be a better one. Finally, after wait of 20 mins. approx. the person from the restaurant came over to enquire the count of persons. By now we were the only people waiting all others were accomodated as the family size were lesser. Oh by the way we were just in luck as one of the families couldn't bear the waiting time and decided to walk out as they had probably felt the restaurant was not managing the guests on first-cum-first basis. Any ways we got a cozy place to seat it was nearing 10:30 PM which is their last order time. So as soon as we found our comfort the waiter rushed in to take our order. He helped us with ordering by suggesting the food options and drinks. As we started the food also arrived at a decent pace. The tandoori platter was good, followed by Drums of the heaven, surprisingly the shallow fried rava coated brinjal slices were a delicacy and we thoroughly enjoyed it. That's a recommendation if you are there. Being in Udupi we preferred local cuisine so ordered Kori Roti though we had already tasted it but wanted to feel the consistency and texture of the chicken gravy cooked in coconut milk which gives it richness. And we were not left disappointed. I generally am in the favor of tasting local cuisine when at a new place. My kids still wanted to have hakka noodles which satiated them. The service was fast but at times needed to wait to get attention ahhh...I got my drink which was speciality of the day a wee bit delayed....!!😏 the only other detractor if I may say for being unable to use the correct word. But it was worth the wait. Overall it's worth visting if you are in Udupi.

The first visit to this place was an overall delightful experience. The standout dish, the Bonda chicken, was incredibly tender and bursting with flavor—a definite must-try. Among the starters, both the spicy Pudina chicken and the flavorful ghee roast prawns left a good impression. However, the chicken biriyani fell short of expectations, a disappointing note in an otherwise great meal. In terms of pricing, the overall value for money was fair, especially considering the exceptional service and quality of most dishes. Some items, like the lamb chops, seemed overpriced and didn't match their value. On the brighter side, the milkshakes were fantastic; the tender coconut milkshake, in particular, stood out as a must-have. The mocktails were also a pleasing addition to the meal. Regarding the naans, they were a bit on the softer side but paired well with the flavorful butter chicken. Regrettably, the absence of local desserts during the visit led us to try the Gud Bud, which turned out to be a good alternative. Despite a slight delay in food delivery, the overall service was commendable. The pleasant interior, with its fantastic lighting, added to the enjoyable dining atmosphere.

Must visit place for mangalorean food. The food is authentic and delicious. The service and decor were really good too. I just wish they would play music suitable to the mangalorean culture and not commercial bollywood, it would complement the vibe.

Amazing food, amazing service, great ambience. If you are a fan of authentic udupi cuisine this place is a must visit. Served in a traditional style, taste is implacable.
