What people say, in short
Soofi Mandi in Ollur is a frequent recommendation, but comparisons with Nahdi go both ways. One diner likes the beef mandi's soft texture and mild seasoning; another recommends the shawaya mandi and honey chilli alfaham. Consistency is disputed: one commenter credits it, while another reports dry chicken or overcooked rice on some visits. Seating reports differ too, with one diner finding it easier than Nahdi and another encountering crowds on repeated visits. A separate commenter dislikes the ambience. The positive overall balance is stronger than any claim that it suits every mandi preference.
