Ideal Cafe, Hampankatta
16 people recommendcounted across its outletsvia r/mangalore18 comments cited below
What people say, in short
Ideal Cafe's Mangaluru recommendations include multiple Ideal outlets; the Hampankatta cafe represents that city-wide support here. Dosa and pulao recur in the food discussion, but diners do not identify an outlet for those dishes. One praises a cashew-topped masala dosa, while commenters also enjoy the pulao. Caveats are similarly unlocated: one diner finds the chutney variable and another dislikes the amount of plastic used for delivery packaging. These are city-brand opinions, not descriptions confirmed for every branch.
