The paintings were nice, but the place needs a better vibe. Service could be improved.

A fantastic place to spend an evening with your friends and family. Perfect to enjoy a few drinks with amazing food in a very peaceful atmosphere. Bonus points for their hospitality.10/10 must try in manipal especially for the student crowd.A good spot for small parties as well.

A must try.Here are my top 4 recommendations: Veg starters - Paneer butter garlic, Non veg starters - Chicken Black Shanghai, Fish - Banngude (Mackerel) Tawa and Main course - Mutton kheeme rice.The staff is friendly and that is a bonus with the good food.Ambiance is warm with just the right amount of lights that ensures privacy alongside comfort.The service is quick, place is clean and music is subtle.Downtown is a place for family and friends to enjoy good food with good people.With a private space on the first floor on need & booking basis. It also doubles as a smoking zone.A pool table adds to the fun if you’re game, of course, complimentary to the diners.The cocktails & mocktails along with other drinks are definitely worth trying 1. For their concoction and 2. Unbeatable prices.Super pocket friendly for everyone out there looking for some wonderful food and great dining experience in Manipal!!

This place in Dasharathanagar has a great ambience with music playing in the backdrop. Ideal for couples who want to have a quiet romAntic time with each other. Well I could only see couples visiting here and we are the only one with friends.Many of the seafood options are not available and their specialities are Chinese and continental.Service is slow but they have a staff crunch hence we can empathize.Staff is courteous and very helpful.Food is delicious especially their drums of heaven and prawns chilly which we have tried. Biriyani was not up to the mark. Overall a very good bar and restaurant for a fine dine experience. You can visit it with your friends or with a loved one. Crowd is very decent.

Dined at Downtown and was thoroughly impressed! The affordability of their menu options is unbeatable - delicious food without breaking the bank.But what truly made our experience stand out was the exceptional service from the staff. Friendly, attentive, and courteous, they went above and beyond to ensure our comfort. All our server was particularly noteworthy, offering expert recommendations and checking in regularly.

Really good place in terms of pretty much everything. Food is good, prices are very affordable and never too overcrowded which ensures service is always at point. Staff is extremely friendly and also the manager, Mr Sachin is also a great guy, and they've made sure that we've had a good experience everytime we come to downtown. Ambience, design and music is also very good under the new management. Definitely a go to place on the weekends for me.
