What people say, in short
Nahdi's Calicut mandi gets repeated recommendations, represented here by the Red Cross Road restaurant near Tagore Hall. A diner says it has been consistently satisfying but may involve a wait for a table, while another prefers its flavour to other local mandi spots. Others find it overhyped or feel quality has declined; one who tried the peri peri mandi found it only okay and preferred Kubaba.
