Mantra Cafe Gokarna

We visited Mantra Cafe a couple of times during our stay in Gokarna in January, 2020. Wonderful and vibrant ambience, very tastefully done up cafe. The staff is very courteous and polite and make you feel at home. Live music during our 2nd visit added to the charm. No wonder it is considered one of the best cafes in Gokarna.<br/ <br/ The food was very tasty and sumptuous. We tried the pizzas, rolls, burgers, some of the other continental dishes like Chicken Stroganoff and the Meat Pie. Lip-smacking and delicious.<br/ <br/ Wish we return to Gokarna soon and visit Mantra Cafe at least once a day. Loved the place and the experience!

It's a small cafe on the hill top giving you beat view. Since I was super hungry and it was late noon we t for chicken thali. Food was decent. I felt evenings are much better to spend at this cafe with beer, view and snacks to munch on with your friends. Staff tend to forget the order need to keep reminding.

We had been to Gokarna on a 4 day trip. This was the most memorable trip and all the credit goes to zostel for making our stay comfortable and to mantra cafe to make our tummies comfortable! First things first, THE VIEW! From the restaurant in zostel(mantra cafe) Is realy breathtaking. Sitting in the restaurant just listening to the waves and having a good meal is already a good start to your day! This was during diwali and there was a dj night being conducted. The first night was a quiz night followed by musical chairs, the second night was a karaoke night which was super funnn!! They had brought in a dj Mr. Aravind Sankar who kept the entire crowd glued to the event! We met a lot of new people and made some good friends! The ambience is super super welcoming and makes you feel like home no matter what the weather is! Every little detail is well thought and put together into the favour of the guests and customers! Their menu is just the right size and covers all of your palette. Our most ordered dishes were chicken sizzlers, paneer sizzler, peanut masala, masala papad, the veg thali, chilly chicken and fried rice. These dishes really stand out in terms of taste, decor and aroma! Also their beverage selection is pretty damn good, all sorts of mocktails that kinda make you forget about the cocktails !!The entire staff of the team are so very friendly and accommodate you right from the time you enter the property, very down to earth people and humble with their service.I would personally like to thank the manager Mr Surjeet Singh for taking good care of us and helping us with whatever we needed! He always put his best foot forward and never made us feel like we missed a thing! He guided us with places around to see and also places where you get good seafood! Also would like to thank Mr Bharath for letting us stay an extra night as a member of our group wasn’t feeling well. They took real good care of us. The service and kitchen staff are super sweet and humbling. They put in all their love when serving you! Our diwali and the trip would not have been complete without zostel and their entire team! I would totally recommend this place to anybody visiting Gokarna, to experience best in class food, stay and their people!

Whether or not you’re staying at Zostel, this is a great budget friendly option to head out to in Gokarna for a quick bite!<br/ Keep in mind their timings, they open for breakfast, lunch and dinner.<br/ They have a limited menu but I think that’s what makes the food so good.<br/ For breakfast, we have sunny side up and Mexican open toast with milk coffee. The toast was mouth watering and delicious! Would give it a 5/5! Sunny side up was sprinkled with loads of paprika, just how I like it perfect 5/5. Coffee that will wake you up to kick start a day! 5/5. We also had their aloo parathas but you can give that a miss and try something else instead, they were slightly bland however a loaded quantity 4/5 for the parathas!<br/ The cafe witnesses a view of the whole Gokarna beach and has a separate smoking zone which serves only beer! The vibe at night is magical where people play guitar, socialise and unwind themselves in the beauty of Gokarna! <br/ They also serve great pizzas, pastas, sizzlers and biryanis at a very reasonable price! Do try them out!<br/ Highly recommended!<br/

I thought the food was great and reasonably priced. Many people here just to get high. But I was with family as well as a few more tables. Everyone minding their own business . Small but menu is to the point.
