The First Authentic Mangalore Dine-in Experience in Bahrain

Karavali Restaurant is proud to be the first and only authentic Mangalore dine-in destination in the Kingdom of Bahrain. Nestled in the heart of the island, Karavali brings the traditional & mouthwatering flavors of coastal Karnataka right to your table. This culinary gem represents the rich & diverse tastes from regions like Mangalore city, Kasaragod, Kundapur, Bhatkal, Karwar, and all over South Canara District, Kodagu, & Chikmagalur. Every dish served is a tribute to the centuries-old recipes & coastal cooking techniques passed down through generations.

What sets Karavali Restaurant apart is its unwavering commitment to preserving the original taste of Mangalore. The cuisine here beautifully blends South Indian & North Indian styles while maintaining a distinct identity of its own. Our chefs masterfully use minimal oil & moderate spices, offering a healthier dining experience without compromising on authenticity or flavor.

Authentic Mangalore Seafood & Non-Veg Delicacies

Karavali is especially renowned for its unmatched seafood & non-veg dishes that capture the soul of Mangalorean cuisine. Signature items include the famous Mangalore Biryani, a fragrant rice dish layered with spiced meat or seafood, slow-cooked to perfection. Our Mangalore Fish Curry Rice is a must-try – made with freshly ground spices, coconut, & a unique tangy-sweet flavor that makes it an instant favorite.

One of the most celebrated dishes on our menu is the Mangalore Fish Ghee Roast, a rich & fiery specialty that’s cooked in pure ghee with a robust blend of red chilies & spices. Other highlights include various Sukka items, such as Chicken Sukka & Mutton Sukka, which are dry preparations bursting with coastal flavors. Our menu is packed with other traditional non-veg specialties that reflect the spirit of Mangalore’s festive & everyday meals.

Special South Indian Dosa Items & More

In addition to seafood & meat dishes, Karavali is also proud to offer a wide range of traditional South Indian tiffin items. These include unique Mangalorean dosa varieties like Neer Dosa, a soft, lacy crepe made from rice batter, & Kaltappa, a lesser-known but flavorful rice-based flatbread. We also serve Pundi (steamed rice dumplings) & Appam, which pair wonderfully with our selection of curries & gravies.

Our dosa selection is complemented by a variety of chutneys & sambar, each made fresh daily with ingredients that elevate every bite. These dishes provide a perfect balance for both vegetarians & meat-lovers, offering the essence of South Indian comfort food.

At Karavali Restaurant, we respect the roots of Mangalorean cuisine while also infusing it with subtle North Indian influences. This fusion brings forward a unique flavor profile that appeals to a wider range of palates. Our use of fresh spices, aromatic herbs, & traditional cooking methods ensures that each dish is not just a meal, but an experience.
