    LOKA Cafe , It was my first Manali trip. I reached LOKA just like that. But after reaching there the outlook of my whole trip changed. O ate great South Indian food in Manali which was damn tasty. Like imagine eating Malabar style ghee rice and chicken curry at Manali. Even though food is great at LOKA , there are few more other things too that you will love there . The PEOPLE, The Ambience and the VIBE. After reaching LOKA , we got proper guidance for our trip . The people knew the mountains like pro. They guided us to Spiti , Rohtang, Keylong and all other places. LOKA is a must visit place if you are planning to go up the hills. Eat great food , Meet wonderful people and acquire knowledge to plan rest of your trip. Meet Nithin Krishna, The Famous AJ , The Chef George Ettan and Sreekutty . Jai LOKA ❀️❀️❀️❀️

    It was like a breath of fresh air to see the cafe name in malayalam script in Manali (of all the places). From what we learnt, it's a recent venture and cafe is still in developing stage. Even considering the nascent stage of the cafe, it's got good vibes emanating from it. The taste and flavour of the food was good. We were looking for naadan oonu (meals), which unfortunately was not available for some reason. We took alternate options from the menu and we were not at all disappointed. Nicely done up, good aesthetics. Highly recommended! Do provide them a chance to offer their services

    One of the best Kerala cafés in Manali. Add this place to your bucket list if you're ever visiting Himachal. The view from the cafe is amazing and absolutely loved the vibes ✨ Ever craving for exquisite Kerala dishes, just pop in and say hi and the rest will be the best cuisine experiences you'll be sharing once you're back home xx

    We were extremely skeptical about trying food here as the reviews were great and the menu was short but I must say that 1 lunch item here is much much much better than the multiple items in a fancy hotel. Best place for south Indian style home food.

    A much serene and comfortable cafe by a malayalee family. Great ambience and location at the heart of manali. Food is authenticity kerala style and you would not expect the kerala special puttu and chicken curry be available in such a beautiful valley. Would recommend the puttu chicken or Appam chicken combo with a black tea sipping in the valley looking towards the mesmerizing view of the mountains and the beautiful city at the valley

  • 5/5 Noveen P. 1 year ago on Google
    Went there for lunch. Overall a good experience.. away from the hussel n bussel of mall road, but still walkable.. Nice Kerala food and host is friendly n attentive.. The place is above the road and little adventurous climb is required to reach up there.. the views are wonderful even in day time, overlooking the river and the cross road plus bridge.. Our lunch was calm n reasonably affordable :) as compared to mall road.. Totally recommend for going there..
