The Good Stuff
Juicy grill
The grill is specifically praised as delicious and juicy, making it one of the stronger dine-in choices mentioned.
Ghee rice
Ghee rice with beef fry is described as tasty, plentiful and reasonably priced by one regular customer.
Tea stop
Ginger masala tea and fresh milk tea both receive positive mentions, with one reviewer visiting specifically for chai.
Budget pricing
A reviewer calls it a budget restaurant in the Mankhool area and notes RTA parking directly in front.
Quick setting
One review describes the restaurant as cozy and suitable for a quick dish rather than a lengthy meal.
Tips for a Better Visit
Allow time. Avoid visiting when you need a fast meal; a fried rice order reportedly took 35 minutes, so off-peak dining may be wiser.
Confirm delivery. Ask for a realistic delivery estimate before ordering, especially for office or nearby-building deliveries.
Track orders. For delivery, follow up if the promised time passes: one order placed at 8:15pm arrived at 10:30pm.
Check sauces. If ordering fried rice or noodles, ask about sauces in advance; one reviewer said schezwan sauce required a chicken lollipop order.
Use parking. If you are driving, a review reports RTA parking in front of the shop.

The Bottom Line
Tasty Corner Restaurant in Al Mankhool is a casual cafeteria-style option for Kerala and South Indian favourites alongside fried rice, burgers and grilled dishes. Reviewers specifically mention juicy grill items, ghee rice with beef fry, chicken lollipop, dosa and ginger masala tea. Portions are often described as filling, and some customers consider the food and prices good for a budget meal.
The experience is far from consistent. Some diners report tasty food, kind service and dependable meals, while others describe tasteless or smelly shawarma, disappointing chicken 65 and poor food quality. One review also raised a serious cleanliness concern involving a cloth allegedly used first on the floor and then around chapati preparation.
These are customer reports, but they are worth keeping in mind. Delivery is the main practical risk. Orders have reportedly taken 35 minutes for fried rice, more than an hour in several cases, and nearly two hours for breakfast delivered across from an office.
If you are hungry or working to a schedule, ask for an honest estimate before ordering and consider eating in during a quieter period. Drivers can find RTA parking in front of the shop, and the restaurant is also described as a cozy place for a quick dish. Expect service and food quality to vary rather than assuming every visit will match the strongest reviews.
