Tucked in a quiet, narrow alley in bustling Hampankatta, Mangalore sits Akkamakka’s Meals Hotel, an eatery that goes back 130 years! Located in a home that’s tended to by the third, fourth and fifth generation of a family that has a long tradition of serving the local community, a meal at Akkamakka isn’t just about the food, but also offers diner a nostalgic peek into the old-fashioned hospitality and way of life of a bygone era. I visit the family to get a glimpse into the history of the eatery, catch the cooking and a satisfying, very affordable, home cooked fish meal that is served on communal tables. Hope you enjoy this episode. Take care, stay safe and strong. Happy eating.

[@ipbalakrishna9980]

Mangalore "Akkammakka" Baba, it is not an hotel The name itself spells it is an anwartha nama, as per tulunadu glorious culture "akka-amma-akka" *akka* stands on prefix and suffix at the same moment *amma* stands in the middle, imagine youself. The founder woman so humble, loyal, sincere, words found insufficient to narrate her virtue. Concludingly, it is our own tulunadu home for having Breakfast, Lunch and Night mean as prepared and served by our own homely family!!!

[@abhiseksarkhel5961]

This doesn't seem like a hotel but it's like my own home 🙏

Being a Bengali myself I am just voraciously relishing these manglorean fish meals virtually of course . Those bones will pose no hindrance to our palate as well . Thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience.

[@rajeshramachandran1704]

Wow - 130 years old eatery - The very fact that the eatery still has diners is a true testament to their quality . Kudos to your FL team and yourself to bring us such unique experience 🙏🙏 ! Hats off to Akkamaka family and staff - 5th generation and going strong 👍👍🙏 ! What a fab gesture by the family to help the needy 🙏🙏 ! Eating out of a banana leaf has got its own charm ! Reasonable prices too . True value for money ! Mouth watering plate of Thali with the Fish fries 😋 ! Thoroughly enjoyed the Vlog dear Kripal!! Thanks a bunch once again for enlightening your digital family on some hidden gems 💎! Much respect to everyone at Akkamakka’s eatery and special thanks to Food Lover’s TV 👍👍🙏🙏🌟🌟

Entire family is together and working hard while thoroughly enjoying each others company. God bless them and their undertaking.

I laughed a lot when Kripal sir said Arabai instead of Yerabai. Arabai in Tulu means to Yell. The family running the establishment couldn't control their laughter either. 😂

Historical Hotel . So glad to see u finally there

[@sushanthpai1450]

The place were I spent my 90% of childhood in the hotel as a neighbor and it's a one of the lifetime best hotel compared to any of the fish hotel in Mangalore. The Hotel Akkamakka & Aithappa Compound is an emotion for us ❤️😘. Owner, service provider, cleaner, chef etc everything is taken care by thier whole family members. I guarantee you that they don't add tasting powder, baking soda, no food color. Instead they provide you deep fried fish in pure coconut oil. Indeed it's one of the best hotel owned and operated by Shetty's in Mangalore, guys please visit and feel the taste located in exact Hampankatta, Mangalore. 100% guarantee you that will find pure homely environment in a traditional way. 🙏 Location: Near Hampanakatta Signal, next to Kulyadikar cloth stores - parking available near hotel. Thank you for this video 🙏

Love your beautiful mixture of Kannada in between, sir… That actually gives more native flavour to your videos…

[@ipbalakrishna9980]

During Akkamma's days numerous students used have breakfast, lunch and dinner in monthly basis on very nominal humankind charges. Students those who had had food are serving in different walks of life around the world, which now a days team cannot identify but students on those days had food are kept in mind. It is an ancistors and Tulu dharma daivas blessed place.

[@vidyutmulki2807]

Enjoyed this episode a lot. Brought back lot of old memories of Namma Mangalore

[@faaiqaara560]

I use the same recipe for my fish curry and I learnt it from my mother. Everyone loves it I also made a little change to my pulli munchi or as we Manglorean Muslims say, “Khatta mirchi” which is a big hit with all my family members I miss my hometown 😢

[@hobby1685]

What is the recipe mam? Can you share

[@rohitshetty3049]

@Kripal sir thanks for exploring this 130 year old establishment as it is the only few legendary establishments left in Mangalore which is carrying forward the legacy of Mangalore...Hoping to see you explore many more of them as your coverage of this establishment will definitely benefit it in the long run

[@raghavendrakini7331]

No one is bothered about ambience so long as u r served with tasty and good quality food. That is Akkammakka hotel for you.

[@noice8674]

Price seems extremely reasonable for non vegetarian fish meals and dishes. Even vegetarian meals and dishes cost a lot more than this. Regret being a vegetarian🥲

[@QueenGurmehar]

There shouldn't be any regrets in not killing a sentient being.

[@noice8674]

@@QueenGurmehar No I don't have any regrets being vegetarian. That was just a sarcastic way of telling how vegetarians are spending more on food these days which is surprising actually.

[@RSShetty27]

I remember my grandfather narrating about days back in 1930s when travelling to Mangalore from Udupi covering just 60 kms used to take an entire day. One had to travel a day before to attend anything on a specific day. So when my grandpa used to reach Mangalore in the evening he used to stay in Akkamakka's budara for the night. A 'paje' (mat) to sleep on the floor was provided. Kudos to the family for continuing this legacy and also to Kripal for showcasing this legacy to the world.

[@niharranjanmohanty5697]

I am stunned by hearing the price. I am from Odisha and also here food is not that cheap, and if it is cheap then obviously not satisfactory.

[@HariKrishna-lk5wx]

Isn't sathyavathi also fishery family wife of father of bhishma in maharashtra wow no wonder she cook fish so well❤❤ Even being a vegetarian watch Kripal sir videos for his beautiful kannada💛❤ and excellent english and way he taste food U can really learn a lot watching these👍👍 vdeos

[@Knowbbies]

Mangalore has been a long pending on the list. Been to Udupi in 1996 for office work and still remember the fish fry I had that time. I wonder if anyone can confirm if there exist a beach name "Wadabandeshwar" in and around Udupi? This name is carved in my memory since then (25 yrs now) and I wish to be there again. Lovely food Kripal - and thanks a ton for showcasing such an old establishment along with that age old license issued by then ruling government.

Vadabandeshwara beach in Udupi.
