Mangala Vilas

This restaurant is at a walking distance from Salem new bus stand. It is better to go here by walking as it will be difficult to get a parking space in front of this restaurant. The name of this restaurant now is Rajaganapathy. Went for dinner at 8 pm and I was the only customer here till i left after having food. Ordered Mutton kadamba, parotta, dosa and a panner goli soda. All the food ordered was good and it was not spicy. Quantity for the rate of Mutton kadamba seems less but it is sufficient for a person. When ordering Mutton kadamba we have to say we want it dry or in semi gravy. I asked for semi gravy . Ambience is old world charm . Parotta and dosa was made only when i ordered and was served hot. A decent place to have food near Salem new bus stand. There is no GST here and the price mentioned on the menu is final. For travel,food and history plz follow my insta account.

This South Indian mess stands out as one of the best, and their signature dish, the Pichi Potta Naatukozhi, is truly a culinary gem. The flavors are authentic and leave a lasting impression, making it a must-try for anyone visiting. The availability of parking adds to the convenience, ensuring a stress-free experience. However, it's worth noting that the prices are slightly on the higher side for the overall atmosphere provided. While the quality of the food justifies the cost, some might find the pricing a tad steep for the casual ambiance. Despite the minor concern with pricing, the exceptional taste and the convenience of parking make this South Indian mess a standout choice for those seeking an authentic and delightful culinary experience. Highly recommended for food enthusiasts willing to indulge in a gastronomic adventure.

Food taste is so good. Feels like home made. Less number of items in menu, but the items of food is so good. Especially the food is spicy with pepper powder. The main ingredient of the food is pepper. Mutton, chicken, fish and kadai are all available. Mutton kadhambam is so good. Both gravy type and fry type non vegetarian items are available in all. Need to improve the hygiene. Separate parking is available. Located inside Salem city , congested place. Toilets cleanliness need to improve.

Went with a group of four friends for dinner. Speciality was the parotta and chicken fry. Immensely one of the best. We tried mutton fry as well. It was A class, served hot and delicious it was. One of our friend was a vegetarian and there was no gravy nor chutney available for dosa. But they got it from nearby shop for him and one another server ordered to make a chutney soon and put us to comfort. Overall a very good goto place for non veg lovers. The best in Salem I would say.

Had breakfast here. Really awesome. Feel like hone made food. And the best part is their secret Masala recipe. Authentic South Indian taste. Menu priced reasonable. Even had a heavy breakfast doesn't feel like other shops Masala food. Feel good and yummy . Highly recommended this 60 years old restaurant. Must visit once if you travel via or to Salem.

I went to this place after watching all those over hyped YouTube videos. The mutton and chicken gravy both had a burnt smell. We ordered pepper chicken, the chicken was hard and was not cooked well at all. The pepper chicken only had more curry leaves and burnt pieces than chicken pieces The egg dosa was very thick and average. Overall i would not recommend this place to anyone! It is better to eat at Rajaganapathy which serves way better salna!!

Great food with authentic flavours of tamilnadu, must try if you are in Selam even though price is on a higher side considering the type of restaurant ! Chicken fry and mutton curry must try...! Goli sodas also available here to invoke a sense of nostalgia
