Now, there. This iconic establishment is so often detailed by tourists that we perhaps see content from this hotel everywhere on the net. Our grandparents were strapping chaps when they thronged this café(at the older location), keep in mind. ‘Nuff said?

Pathrode
Pathrode
The steamed variant of Colocasia leaves packed with a paste of tamarind, rice & red chilli. Luscious cut through when piping hot, much like a savoury cake.

Kashi Halwa
Kashi Halwa
What North India transforms into the Agra Petha, Mangalore does as Kashi Halwa. Made from the reduction of choicest Ash gourds(Boodhu kumbalekayi), Kashi halwa guzzles a lot of sugar, that contribute to the dehydrated, sticky nature. The nuts & cardamom are the definite cherry on the cake, but without a proper assessment of reducing the mixture, it won’t come out so good. Which is why it’s GREAT when it’s prepared expertly. Very sweet, sticky & a favourite at function catering, Kashi halwa is Kudlas quintessential dessert.

Dahi Vada
Dahi Vada
The Southern style of preparing Dahi Vada is exhibited here, with some hing, mustard seeds, green chillies & curry leaves seasoning (Phanna/Tadka) added to the curd to impart a bitter-spicy element, rather than anything sweet. The plump Uddin Vada is a constant, though. Scrumptious.
