Food taste is very low. I ordered Porotta, chappathi, Alfahm and chilli chicken. Porotta 2 out of 10, Alfaham 3 out of 10, mayonise 1 out of 10, chapathi 4 out of 10, chilli chicken 6 out of 10. Very bad food. Main customers are travellers. So that they do not need the food quality.

I wanted to share my experience at Cafe Manara Restaurant Kothamangalam recently, Unfortunately, the quality of the food was not up to par and I had to leave my meal unfinished. It was a disappointing experience and I hope that the restaurant will take steps to improve the quality of their food in the future. I was also concerned to learn that the food safety department seized old food from the restaurant today. Food safety is of the utmost importance and I hope that the restaurant will take the necessary steps to address any issues and ensure that all food served is safe for consumption. I would not recommend this restaurant based on my experience and the reports of food safety violations.

Just 500 meters away from KSRTC, this cafe is a great spot for families and friends. It boasts a neat and clean atmosphere with a pleasant ambiance, and the friendly staff ensures a comfortable dining experience. Ample parking is available, with space for more than five cars easily in front of the restaurant. The food rates are reasonable.

Very good ambience, have 2 floor dine in setup. Parking space is also available. My favorite from here is Chicken manthi, eventhough its not an authentic kuzhimanthi but it tastes good.

The most friendly hotel. The Atmosphere was very friendly and natural. One highly recommended place in Idukki for both non-vegetarian and vegetarian options is "Cafe Manara" located in Kothamangalam. They offer a diverse menu with a good selection of both non-vegetarian and vegetarian dishes. The ambiance is pleasant and the food is known to be delicious. It's a popular choice among visitors to the area.

Services based not and food quality is very bad no tasty it's all item prepare unskilled cook,even one cup of tea also not good Don’t try this hotel.

I visited here so many times.. but last few times this restaurant is becoming worst than previous visits. On the downstair table area, waitors doesn't have mannars. We waited there more tha 15 min to get menu card, One guy droped menu card to our table while he passes through that way and didn't looked at us. Also, its too bad to sit there. No hygiene. Cleaning staffs are too too bad. All the food waste were placed near to our table. We fed up with bad smell and atmosphere. totally horrible. Glasses for water is covered up with dirt. So we bought one bottle and didn't used glass.

I tried the peri peri mandi and fresh lime at this restaurant. Both were just below average. The peri peri mandi was too spicy, and the chili flavor overpowered the peri peri flavor. I had to stop eating halfway through because it was too spicy. The ambience and service were good, though.

We ordered chicken fried rice and chilli chicken... It was tasting so weird and foul ... I gave some to the waiter to taste and see.. Even he didn't eat it and spat it out through the window😂... So we ordered chicken biriyani which was full of dalda and not very tasty...We really tried not to make a scene there..The worst part was after the payment , I complained about the food to the old bald man sitting at billing... He was shouting as if we brought the food from our home🤣🤣🤣🤣 .... Very very rude person!! He even called the waiter and scolded him for not reporting it.But I felt it was just a show 😁...We told the waiter a sorry..that was the least we could do. . Anyway never going to recommend this to anyone nor going here anymore ...

The food is fine( nothing really impressive). The restaurant is properly maintained. Hygiene was also fine. This is popular among students of MA college. Customer service is really good. But the parking can be a bit problematic. It would be better if parking space is expanded. Overall it's an average restaurant, in the vicinity of Kothamangalam town.

Nice place. Best Restorent in kothamangalam

Nice Place.. Good Food.. Good Staff Behaviour. But Taking longer than usual to Serve the food.

We ordered Porotta and Butter chicken but what we got was undercooked alfaham chicken in small pieces with a very bad gravy to go with it. The only biriyani left was ordered by one of my friends which was very salty and couldn't be finished. Please rectify this mistakes for the upcoming customers. Let them have a better experience from what we had.

I bought beef biriyani. Awesome!!!

Good Food Joint you can trust and board. Very good people and their nice behaviour.

Their chicken & cheese sandwich was really tasty. Thanks to the staff who recommended it (he said it may take 10-15 minutes to serve, but it will be worth it). Watermelon, and fresh lime were also good. Also, we tried their chicken burger, but it was a disappointing one. The burger bun was good, but the patty was too tough. Service was really good and they have a decent amount of parking available in front of the restaurant, near the road.

I really enjoyed the mutton mandi I had from cafe manara. Mutton was very flavourful. Rice was cooked perfectly. Really liked the ambience. Perfect place for a family..

Best place to hangout with friends or family. They have a large menu decently priced and a well ambient space.Though I don't prefer having mandhi from here. Everything thing else is good.

Good Restaurant in the area...we had alfaham and Porotta... both soft and tasty...cooked well..liked the food Good staffs and We liked the whole experience, there is good space for parking your car Like to rate 4.1 out of 5..

One of best in kothamangalam..good decent food.

Decent restaurent with good food at reasonable price. Arabian delicacies like Kuzhimanthi available. Ample space for large groups. Courteous Staff and quick service.

Well neat place. Food quantity and quality satisfied. Reasonable price. The person who above 50 years serving food should behave more politely to customers. Not satisfied his behaviour. Otherwise its good place to have food.

Service was not good ,okay ish food very less flavour and spice

Cafe manara is an average food court. Not upto my expectations. But it is a good place for family fooding. Have a plenty of area and nice ambiance. Fresh air. We can experience nature in a part of the hotel by seating together with it . Family dining available. Air conditioned areas available

Had a nice experience. Especially, loved the ambiance and customer service. Well maintained by the staff and offer a great time for the customers in these covid 19 time. Very spacious too.

Good service.. nice ambience.. loved it..

The food is great and economical with good customer service and adequate quantity as well. The restaurant will catch the eyes of travellers easily and also makes them want to enter here . Also the washrooms are also okay

Excellent restaurant. Super food and best service.

Food is really good... but can increase lil more cleanliness

Nice place to have food with family and friends.. good food🤞

The food is good here one could say. But when people walked past the table that i sat on,the whole table was shaking, I wonder why. The lighting inside the AC family room was nice. Overall its a nice place and they have nice food

Awesome foods but quantity wise not upfront

Very famous hotel in Kothamangalam munnar road. Now only parcel services are available... I have already taken chicken biriyani from the same around one year ago.. It was very nice and good. After a long time I buyed this Kuzhimanthi. We are given extra butter paper parcel. Very nicely packed and good tastey. The interaction with customers was also highly satisfied.

It has an open kitchen, you can see them cooking. But once I bought parcel from there, and it was not cooked properly. It is manageable, but I did not feel as high class.

Good place to eat..Arabian, north indian, kerala, chinese..

Good food at reasonable price.

Nice food and nice ambience.

Only for manthi others are below average but decent resurant 👍

Chicken Mandi is not perfect but they did their level best to bring our how it tastes in Mandi King restaurant Saudi. I wish these people learn how to pronounce Mandi.

One of the over rated kuzhi mathi in town My rating for kuzhi manthi is 2/5 The chicken in the manthi is not good

Customer service is very poor, staff's communication 1/5 Food ok! Had bad experience 10+ time

Best in class service for all

I had a kuzhi manthi from there and it was kinda good. But this place is always fully packed .

Very bad

It is very good Hotel. Should try it

Super!!

Average ,its ok with tastes

Ambiance was good, but poor quality food.

One of the main food court in Kothamangalam

Fast& good service

Average

Enough Parking space. I felt like little messy, service is fast enough. Good food.

Good restaurant, famous for Kuzhimannthi

One of the taste spot while driving through kothamangalam

We visited as a family party of 8, Ordered mutton biriyani and chicken biriyani Mutton biriyani was pathetic.. with beef as meat and rice have no taste of Mutton.. Chicken dum biriyani was barely Ok The best was the response of the manager- sir this is how we serve it here!! Wow that was epic

Nice cafe

Very good

Goood

Good place for a quick stop over. Good food and neat restaurant

❤️❤️❤️Loved it

Very bad customer service..Have to wait 40 to 50 minute for taking order.

The 'Kuzhimandhi' you get there is up to the point. But everytime I have a Fresh lime there, it kinda has a soapy taste to it. Also lemon is only a little amount which makes it sugar water. Overall the food is great and beverages are less than average.

Excellent

Clean and neet place..but food is not good as expected

Good food....good atmosphere....nice serving

Super food.. 👌👌

The mandi served was so tasty. The service was also good

OK... Those from North kerala won't like the food. They add a little masala,... Good parking, good compared to other in that local area...

I get good food but service is little poor so I give 3 only

Don't ask any additional items.if you ask,can feel customer satisfaction

Good service.Tried alfaham which was very good and priced very nominally.Parking space is available.

Waiting for 1 hour for half chilli ckn and 7 porotta. .. still waiting ..... .. please don't chose this place ... Chose this place until and unless there is no other option..

🤤

Good quality and quantity Food at affordable price. crowded most of the time.

Good place for quick grub and scoot. Decent taste.

Love the Mandi

Delicious

Crowded & Attitude. Food is good.

It's good....And the dishes quantities are too more

Good food

A very nice restaurant, excellent service. High quality food. You can have good quantity of food in affordable price.

Ok

Porrota is not good but chicken is polii

It is the best bakery in Kothamangalam . Nice location and have less traffic in those areas. Its being crowded and rushed in the evening normally. In the forenoon its peaceful and less crowded. The food is good and very tasty 😋. It is really fresh💯. The marble cake i have ordered from there 👌🏼 and everyone loved it🖤

Manthi is not good as we expected

Kuzhi Manthi Is Not That Good

Food quality was not good

Nice mandi good for family dining

Mandhi is very pathetic

The best budget biryani i ever had in my life. The chicken meat just came off the bone effortlessly. Trust me you won't get a better biryani for 120/- anywhere. Highly recommended.

Good quality and quantity of food. Adequate parking space. Nice ambiance. Moderate price. Best place to dine with friends and family. But the guys at upstairs are little lazy to pick up the orders..rest all good.

Average food. But has a very good ambience. Ac rooms at top and.. neat and clean restaurant. Bakery is also along with it

The food is good ..and you will love it.. But my experience was not that good..that too twice.. They are very careless in packing/ communicating about items ordered as parcel.. I had ordered something and the number was less when I reached home and unpacked the parcel.. This happened twice.. It's extremely unpleasant when this happens when you pay and buy food..One can not open the parcelled food to check whether the number of items are correct.. It's their responsibility once I pay for it..

Good taste and road side hotel and good service and hot fried rice.

Good place for good food, at Kothamangalam. Most important is you could bypass the treacherous town drive. Good parking facilities. Dining at the semi open area definitely will give you a different feal

Neat and nice atmosphere and also delicious food.

Nice Food

Awesome

worst food

Ya the manthi rice was good but the alfam can be improved

Cafe manara is our fav place from college days onwards.The quality food is the main reason for this.A fair price with tasty food.

Great place for mandhi .gets little bit delay due to lot of customer

Best food experience in kothamangalam

Completely dissapointing...don't buy rice items like biryani or manthi..

The food and the facilities available are awsome..

A decent restaurant

Excellent service...And very good food..

A calm a serene place (perspectives may differ to different users), this is one where you can head out to, if you have just sufficient budget (I would say, this place is pretty inexpensive) and looking for value for money. The food served is justified for the money and the staffs are courteous and helpful as well. Overall, a pleasant experience with satisfying food, good service and ample ambience.

Ordered a veg noodles , kuzhi manthi and a alfarm manthi , veg noodles was nice and manthi is average but a fair price

Food was bad. Mandhi rice wasnt edible . Quboos did had a foul smell .

Food taste very bad. Garlic mayo looks like a packet of water. And always make sure they gave complete items that you payed ( own experience) . Only positive thing is fast delivery..

Had kuzhimanthi in the evening with family and the experience was quite disgusting •The food was ice cold •There was no salt in the mayannoise •cucumber inside the salad was rotten

Well mannered staff. Normal waiting time. Average food, less parking. Wash area has to be more clean.

Good food.. Nice ambience.. You can have tasty non-veg Arabian style food. Halal.

1) There is enough parking and dining space. A/c dining area was kept closed when I visited in May 2022. 2) Almost all regular dishes you expect are available. Taste is average. 3) There is also a bakery section available Overall - not a great choice if you want to explore something special, however a decent option for regular dining.

I was happy about this restaurant that it could deliver good locally. But, disappointed the fact that the food is very very oily and of not a great quality. Any veg curry or non veg curry are stuffed with oil. The taste of oil takes over the taste of the curry. Food in an emergency is bearable, but then you would have second opinion before going to this restaurant to eat the second time. My suggestion for improvement is to reduce the oil drastically and start serving healthy and fresh.

Food was pretty bad, very spicy, couldn't finish and in the end the stomach was burning! We ordered pretty standard dishes like egg fried rice and paneer butter masala. I would have been happy to pay more for a bit better tasting food. Would not recommend if you are sensitive to extremely spicy food.

AC family restaurant is a good place for lunch or dinner with family and friends. Pros: 1. Decent food 2. Good seating and ambiance 3. Quite some options are available for starters and main course. Cons: 1. Limited parking 2. Very few options available in desserts

Good food available in kothamangalam. Moderate parking area. Satisfied with food from here. Very crowd. They must arrange some more seats. Staffs are ok. Easily accessible from highway. Moderate pricing. You will not get cheap rated food or budget food. But you will get tasty and premium food and service.

One of the very few restaurants in Kothamangalam and a good place for halt on the Aluva - Munnar road. All types of food, juices and bakery products available. AC and Non AC dining possible. Parking for about 10 cars available in the front. Positive customer dealings and Above average food. Busy during lunch hours.

If your need is biriyani you will get a quick response.other items required some ten to twenty minutes for spot preparation

Had Chicken biriyani for lunch. The food and ambiance was nice.Temperature inside the hotel is a bit concerning. Parking is good.Easily accessible.

Tasty food especially biriyani, not much space to park, atmosphere is just ok, you can see their kitchen and the staff working there

It's a wonderful cafe..nice food and ambience..the service was also pretty neat..the ambience is so good during night times and ideal place to have food with ur luved ones

The butter chicken we had today was the worst version of the butter chicken I've ever experienced, Idk what all have been mixed with it to be this bad. It was a mixture of alfaham chicken with a traditional curry kalan in my opinion. Please get the orders right and also maintain a standard for the food you provide to the customers.
