Prana Cafe — Restaurant in Karnataka

I have never been treated so poorly in a restaurant.

I ordered veg mac and they gave me non-veg mac. While eating I could tell that there was something paneer-lile in my food. Since I am a vegetarian (never had non-veg my entire life), I didn't realise it was chicken! Then my friend tried my food and told me it was chicken..

I told the waitress that they had by mistake given me chicken mac. To which the chef came outside and started interrogating me. I was asked by the 'chef' why did I take so long to tell them they had given me chicken mac

They were not very happy to give me a fresh veg mac. After their interrogation was over, with little enthusiasm told me that they'll make me a new pasta. But until then I was tired and refused to eat .

If you are in Manipal please save yourself some time and humiliation and avoid this horrible place!

P.S. I was tired of your extremely friendly behaviour towards me. Who would feel like eating after being treated like that!? Honestly, neither me or anyone else on the table remembers that the order was repeated. You should definitely do a better job at keep a tab on what you are sending out to the tables at your cafe because we had order potato wedges for me. I am appalled that you expect your customers to finish starters and start eating next course within 20 min, meanwhile also play board games!? I very warmly returned your free dessert. You can do better by listening to what the customers are saying instead of making them feel bad about not starting to eat their food on time. Which in the first place was your responsibility to serve the right food. You should ask your staff that when they brought the first mac (it was a boy), we asked them whether it was the chicken one. They said yes and that is why I was sure that the next one would be the veg option. So when my mac came I kept it aside as I was having the potato wedges (they also came late). The 'owner' never apologised. Seriously guys, you can do...

As the name suggests, Prana cafe really has food for soul.

With dynamic menu, changing every day, they are experimenting with food. They provide manipal crowd a experience of taste and quality in budget.

A good and cozy place to take your date to, their Ambience was chilled and homely.

Let's talk food:

Chicken smoked biryani: I never tasted a biryani more perfect than this. With every byte it just tasted so good. Words fail me to explain that experience. It was perfect in every sense.

Taste: ♥️/5 Quantity: 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Chicken steak with rosemary garlic potato and mushroom sauce: Steak was slow cooked for approximately 1 hour to blend the flavours. It was juicy and tender. Mushrooms were amazing. Taste: 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Quantity: 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Banoffee pie: It just melted in my mouth.

Taste: 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Quantity: 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Just check menu on their instagram page and...

This is a different kind of restaurant. Their menu is limited but their taste is amazing. The kokum juice was not the regular sugar syrup like you get in most of the restaurants. It has a kind of natural taste and it felt so good. The pasta arrabiata was a bit spicy and they can improve on the taste. The chicken biryani has a different homely taste and everyone should try it once. Appam with Afghani chicken, chicken steak, bannoffee pie everything was amazing. The service was a bit slow due to the limited kitchen space and because they prepare most of the items freshly after you place the order. They seem to be passionate about the food they prepare which is impressive. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking...
