Our first visit to Mangalore and this place did NOT disappoint. Located in Yeyyadi, this place serves absolutely amazing food with great service at a reasonable price. We ordered the Kori Roti with Gravy which was delectable. Tawa prawns was their specialty - the flavours popped on our palette. Mutton Ghee roast was tender and burst with flavours. We also ordered a Budweiser pitcher which is way more affordable than getting a regular pint. Definitely recommend this restaurant and it should be a place you visit for food. Special shoutout to Pramod for teaching us the right way to eat Kori Roti and for being top service and Sarala for being an absolute gem with service.

I usually don’t write reviews, but my experience at Madhuvan’s Village, Yeyyadi last Sunday was so astonishingly poor that silence felt irresponsible. I’ve dined at enough restaurants to know what “busy weekends” and “crowd rush” look like — but this was not that. This was a case study in mismanagement, understaffing, and complete disregard for hospitality. If there were a Restaurant Disaster Bingo, Madhuvan’s Village would have cleared the board effortlessly. 1. The Parking & Arrival Experience A massive parking space with no proper valet system is inconvenient but understandable. What’s harder to understand is a buggy meant to assist guests being operated by someone who decides which guests are worth picking up. Watching the buggy driver leave while my senior citizen father and I walked the long distance should have been the first red flag. 2. The Non-Existent Welcome At the entrance, there was a reception desk — seemingly only for decoration. No acknowledgment, no greeting, no guidance. Guests simply wander in and hope for the best. 3. “Find Your Own Seat” Service Model Inside the AC section, staff stood around with the kind of detachment you usually only see in government offices on a Friday afternoon. We seated ourselves because clearly, that was the expected protocol. 4. Severely Understaffed & Untrained Service There was one waiter servicing the entire section — and he disappeared more often than he appeared. Requests were met with silence and eye rolls. The concept of hospitality seems to have been misplaced sometime around 2007 and never rediscovered. 5. Confusion With Orders Soup was served incorrectly — non-veg soups to vegetarians. The staff had to go check what they had served. This is not a minor slip. This is a fundamental competency issue. 6. Food Delays Every dish took 45 minutes to an hour. This would be tolerable if the restaurant were transparent, attentive, or apologetic. It was none of the above. 7. Food Quality vs. Pricing The food itself was acceptable, not remarkable. Portion sizes were noticeably small for the prices — and nothing about the experience justifies the premium. 8. An Out-of-Stock Dish Miraculously Appears A dish was declared unavailable 20 minutes after ordering, but when I raised the issue with the manager, it appeared in under 10 minutes. I’ll let management decide what that says about internal coordination. 9. The Warm “Chilled” Beverage Ordering a cold mocktail and receiving a warm one in a cold glass was… educational. I didn’t realize I’d need to wait for the ice to melt for the drink to become drinkable. 10. Manager Interaction When I asked to speak to the manager I ensured I spoke privately so as not to disturb other diners. He listened but did not offer an apology — just a promise to send the previously “unavailable” dish. That was the entirety of the response. The Larger Issue This isn’t about one busy day. A quick look at other reviews shows the same recurring issues: understaffing, delays, careless service, and unprofessional behavior. After 20+ years in business, these are not “teething troubles.” These are choices. Mangalore keeps showing up here — and perhaps that consistent crowd has made the management complacent. But popularity is not a justification for declining standards. A restaurant of this size should be leading the hospitality game — not redefining mediocrity at scale. Bottom Line I will not be returning, and I will not be recommending Madhuvan’s Village. Basic courtesy, respect for patrons, and operational discipline are not optional — they are the foundation of the restaurant business. I truly hope the management treats this as the wake-up call it needs.

One of my worst dining experiences ever. The service was extremely disappointing , our table wasn’t even given tissues, and each dish took almost an hour to arrive. To make things worse, they got our order wrong and even forgot one of the dishes we had requested. The staff seemed indifferent and kept ignoring our table throughout. Overall, I was very disappointed with both the food and the service. I truly didn’t expect such poor management from a reputed restaurant like this.

I hate writing this because I genuinely used to love The Village. Our order came 35 minutes late. The squid butter garlic was cold and chewy, and even the neer dosa that came later was cold. We had to keep following up, and the apology only came after I mentioned I’d write a review. They did remove the squid from the bill, but the prawn ghee roast alone was ₹1050. For Mangalore, that price is honestly hard to justify, especially with this kind of service and food.

This is my first ever Mangalore visit and my friend very excited took us here for dinner. The first dishes served were cold not even luke warm cold. The waiter was rude made faces when we requested why are the dishes cold. Then to my friend in their language said you outsider we do not entertain you. Never came across such a thing ever earlier. Really disappointed but you will keep doing good village, so definitely doesn't care for customers!!
