Hotel Karthik

Kalladka Tea, which is very famous in the Kalladka junction on NH 48 where one should not miss the tea has been replicated all along the southern coast of Karnataka. When in Mangalore and you need to taste this tea, Hotel Karthik is the best place as I have heard.

Hotel Karthik is also famous for their Benne Masala Dosè, the Bangalorean in me found it just average. Whereas mind-blown for the Kalladka Tea or K Tea. K Tea is done by playing with the viscosity of Tea decoction, thick milk and froth. Thick milk is added in the bottom, then froth is made freshly by pouring the milk up and down, this is added abundantly, the froth here is very thin. Tea decoction is poured in slowly where it does not go deep into the base of the milk, it stays where the milk starts. The decoction is now sandwiched between froth and milk, this wobbly action is such a treat to watch and what a rare delicacy this is.

One has to mix and drink this K Tea..

Very nice...taste is good...staff is also good...here you got authentic south indian dishes...

Pretty near to the Infosys campus on the opposite side of the road.
Visited the place for breakfast. It has a small family section seating. Place is very basic in terms of seating and tables. Food was just average.

Tried the famous "K-tea" which was very average. Would suggest trying it from the actual place which is in Kalladka. Also ordered the Masala dosa which was nice. If you don't want the K-tea, you can also order for the normal tea. The seating area is big. The restraunt is attached to a hotel above it. The service was very quick and the staff were very friendly

By far the best place for Breakfast in Mangalore. Try their Dosa, Vada and Mangalore Buns. I Would say any of the Breakfast option and it won't disappoint you.

Simple and old property with their only focus on quality food. Keep up the good work.

Highly Recommended for Breakfast 👌

The restaurant is located little away from the city center. There is a small parking space available besides the restaurant. The restaurant serves typical South Indian, one of the best option for Veg food in the locality. The food at the restaurant was inexpensive, but very tasty. The service was also very quick, but cleanliness was average. Overall, a good option for quick bites and hot beverages

Came here only for the layer tea. It tastes like usual tea, but enjoyed the way it is served. A good place for evening chai/coffee and snacks.

Good place for a quick breakfast and love their K-tea and coffee
