Disappointed with the service at this so called "iconic brand". Experience was underwhelming. The staff appeared confused, lethargic - “do whatever you want” attitude that reflects poor training and management. The food was average, nothing that justifies the hype. Oily dosas, sugary coffee.. Pls remember Mr/Ms Owner relying on social media influencers might drive short-term craze for brand, but customer loyalty won't sustain without consistent quality in service. This place needs to refocus on basics — service and sincerity!! Meal type: Breakfast Food: 1 Service: 1 Atmosphere: 2

Good old place ,went for breakfast, you have order first and then go take a table. Food is served in 15 to 20 min. Neerdosa and paneer ghee roast was good butter dosa was ok not great, coffee was surprisingly good.

Visited the iconic Ideal Café in Mangalore, a place rooted in the city's food history. Founded by S. Prabhakar Kamath—affectionately known as Pabba Maam—it all began in 1975 with homemade ice cream experiments that led to the legendary Ideal Ice Cream and the invention of Gadbad! The café near Sharavu Temple, opened in 2011, extends that legacy with a full snack and meal menu.We tried chole batura, Mysore masala dosa, neer dosa with green paneer ghee roast, veg cutlet, coffee, and of course, the famous Gadbad. Loved the chole batura, dosa, and veg cutlet! Neer dosa was good, but the ghee roast was too spicy and didn’t hit the mark. Overall, a decent one-time experience—though a bit on the expensive side.Worth visiting once to soak in the legacy and try the classics! Food: 4 Service: 3 Atmosphere: 5
