Juice Junction — Restaurant in Karnataka

Juices are good and so are the milkshakes. They serve very good Vadapav. Not as cheap as you find in Mumbai, but worth the size and taste. The best VadaPav I ate in Mangalore and close to those in Mumbai.

Pav bhaji is bad. The bhaji is too thick and not suitable for dipping the pav in. Its very expensive compared to other dishes served. Not worth the money.

Reasonable prices.

Parking facility is available. Rather congested, but serves the purpose.

The service is great. The waiters take ghe order, bring the food, collect the empty plates and glasses, bring the bill and bring back the change if any; all to your car's comfort.

Environment is decent. Sometimes noisy due to traffic.

Hygiene is well maintained these days. Some years back I remember, lots of flies and nothing was being done about it. Hygiene has drastically improved...

11.12.2022: Juice Junction is situated at one of the densest/ high traffic areas in Mangaluru, right at the meeting point of the Balmatta Road with the Bridge road and the Arya Samaj road. There is a small triangular area in front of the restaurant which is used as a parking/ serving space by them. This is where the patrons sit and eat in their cars. Space is very tight and you need to be in the right spot at the right time to find a safe parking space for your car. The smoothies and snacks must be smoothing out the objections of the traffic cops as well. The circulating staff assist patrons in parking their cars and then serve the food as well. The dust and the noise is incredible, so you have to eat with your car windows rolled up and the AC running. Open from 10.00 AM in the morning till 10.30 PM...

I don't have any complaints on the snacks or juices as such, so if cleanliness isn't one of your parameters while choosing a place to eat or drink from, this is a good place. Ordered a chaat and found a big fly (not really a fly but a honeybee looking thing), I'd seen it being poured into my plate along with one of the chaat sauces but one of the servers was confident that it fell into my plate after the chaat was served, and the best part is, he wasn't even there when the plate was served to me, so be ready to question your own judgement while you're there. Didn't bother talking to the rest of the group, dumped the contents of the plate and walked off from there. If insects flying everywhere doesn't faze you, then you might enjoy the juices and snacks from here with the occasional serving of an...
