Nagpur might be known for its oranges, but if you dig a little deeper (and follow the aroma of curry leaves and coconut), you’ll stumble upon a hidden gem that brings the soul of the coast to the center of India — Mangaluru Kitchen.
Located in the bustling streets of Nagpur, this place is more than just a restaurant — it’s a portal straight to the shores of Karnataka.
The First Bite Says It All
From the moment we walked in, the smell of freshly ground spices and roasted coconut hit us like a warm hug from the coast. The interiors are simple, but the food? It speaks volumes.
We started with the Mangaluru Masala Dosa— soft, thin dosas paired with a spicy, The dosa had the perfect balance of heat and flavor, with hints of tamarind and a strong coconut punch.
Next came the Mangaluru Special Mix Uttapam — and wow. A big steel plate loaded Special Mix Uttapam is a mouthwatering twist on the classic—fluffy, crisp on the edges, and bursting with toppings that add both crunch and spice to every bite. Everything tasted fresh, like it was made with love (and grandma’s secret recipes).
Why It Stands Out
In a city filled with North Indian flavors, Mangaluru Kitchen dares to be different — and nails it. The authenticity of their Mangalorean cuisine is what sets them apart. They don’t compromise on ingredients. The spices are bold, the flavors are layered, and each dish tells a story of the coast.
It’s not fancy dining. It’s soul food.
