I’ve been going to Anmol for almost 14 years now and the food has never disappointed. Everything is always fresh, flavourful, and just hits the spot every single time. Whether it’s a quick bite or a full meal, they’ve kept the quality consistent over the years and that’s saying something!
One of the best things about Anmol is how they fry all their fritters fresh after you order. Nothing reheated or sitting around. The moment it hits your table it’s hot, crispy, and packed with flavour. Their seasonal fruit juices are also a treat. They taste like you’re biting right into the fruit, not drinking some sugary syrup. And the menu? Full of local crowd favourites with plenty of variety, so there’s always something for everyone.
Prices are very reasonable too, which makes it a go to place for regular meals without burning a hole in your pocket.
One tip though – always eat downstairs. The AC section upstairs is a different story. Service there is super slow, they often mess up your order, and worst of all, they charge extra just for sitting in AC even though they don’t really give you better service. It’s just not worth it.
So if you’re heading to Anmol, stick to the ground floor and enjoy their amazing food the way it’s meant...
Read moreAnmol Hotel in Mangaluru pleasantly surprised me with its authentic and flavorful offerings, especially the Chikku Sheera and Sajje Roti. The Chikku Sheera was the highlight — warm, rich, and made with perfectly ripened sapota (chikoo). It had a smooth, slightly grainy texture and was mildly sweet, just enough to make it indulgent without being heavy. The ghee and cardamom added a lovely depth, and the roasted cashews gave it a nice crunch. It tasted fresh and homemade — a nostalgic treat for anyone who enjoys traditional Indian sweets. Alongside that, the Sajje Roti (made from pearl millet) was equally impressive. It was soft yet had a hearty, rustic texture that paired beautifully with their coconut chutney and vegetable curry. Sajje Roti is not easy to get right, but Anmol nailed the balance between softness and structure — it didn’t fall apart, nor was it too dry. Together, these two dishes offered a wholesome, traditional experience that’s hard to find in city restaurants these days. If you're in or around Mangaluru and enjoy regional, millet-based food, Anmol Hotel is definitely...

My experience:
I reached Anmol around 2:45 PM for lunch today. Their kitchen closes at 3PM. Yet they took me in and were nice to me. The place is very small. Has a ground floor (non A/C) and upper floor has AC. The place is not accessible for disabled people (thats a down point). They are always swamped with people during lunch hours. It is very close to nearby colleges.
Food ordered: Veg manchow soup - it tasted Ok. I dint like it. Sort of oily. Paneer andhra chilly 65 - This was the best of all. 5/5 for this dish. Its on a spicy 🌶 🌶 side but its very yumm. Definitely a must try👍 Veg Dum Biriyani special - it was good. Had good flavor and taste to it. Drinks: Pomegranate milkshake - good 👍
Service: The service was ok. The guy taking our order did not let us go through the menu. He was in a hurry but thats understandable given the fact that their kitchen was closing in...
