The best mangalorean prawn curry ever!... Everything you order here will taste yummy...I guarantee it...i loved it and it's a regular for our family and will be for you too.
Excellent Food...! BUTTER GARLIC PEPPER PRAWNS are simply irresistible. Egg Bonds something unique...! Great food for family! Cheers to lovely food...!
If you are big fan of mumbai sea food, then this place is heaven for you. Also this place serves parsi food as well, haven’t tried many dishes, but whatever i was been suggested was up-to the expectations. Worth trying for mumbai seafood experience.
Went here for a casual lunch with family . Pretty cozy place with good ambience.
Ordered the bombay duck, the ghee roast prawn and chicken to have with neer dosa. The ghee roast dishes were pretty gravy filled and spicy. An ok ok try.
I would say the mutton biryani stood out well. Was very tasty. As well as the triple schezwan chicken which is a must try.
For dessert we got the gulabjamun and cheesecake which was stupendous.
Drinks - Limesoda , lassi and mandarin mint ( must try )
Overall ratings:
Ambience: 3.5/ 5

Service : 4/5
Menu : 4/5
Price worth : 3.5 / 5
Overall : 3.9 / 5
Good place to visit and their ambiance is excellent. Try any fish in the menu. I tried prawn and lemon fish with ghee rice, I would say one of the best in the town. Price is higher than other restaurants

This is the first time we visited Mahesh Lunch Home after it was renamed "Kanteen Urban Kitchen" - completely transformed. Bits of old memories lingered in the new place! And we were very intrigued to know how mich had changed.
Not one bit disappointed. The new decor is very chic and rustic. Clean and beautiful. Menu cards are also revamped with a few varieties and some old ones. Was glad to see some old faces among the servers.
Seeing a rather empty restaurant made us think "don't people come here anymore ?" Still we went ahead and ordered Prawns Dhamaka, Chicken Sukka, Roasted Basa, some indian breads and Fish Biryani. Omg ! It was delicious. Every dish was beautifully presented and the taste of was super. Didnt regret to come here after all these months. The roasted Basa was the best ! So much so that we reordered the same dish ❤
The place started filling in after 9.30pm. So in short we were early in there. A big 👌😍 to this place. Same flavors maintained and some new dishes in there. We were given a complimentary in house bread with chilli mayonnaise. Nicely presented. It was a reasonably priced wholesome meal.
Thanks you for maintaining the original flavors.
Absolutely loved the creative menu which has dishes like dosa tacos with shrimps and spicy egg bonda. The Parsi Dabba - Mutton dansak with brown rice is by far the best dansak I've had till date!
Good food and customer service.must try the fish. Yummy foods.must visit . Good place for foody people.good ambiance with good music. Must try. Good ambiance
I am a Goan and love the flavor of the food here especially the Bombil fry and shells ghee roast. With Zomato gold you get great offer on food.
Amazing food. Loved the butter pepper garlic squid, Sindhi Dabba and the Parsi Dabba! The chapattis were like homemade rotis. The gulab jamun saffron cheesecake is a must have. Absolute money's worth. A wonderful change in ambience and menu options. A special thanks to our server Yogesh for his professional yet friendly service. Will be returning soon!!
I must say this place is quite suprising....every dish is beautifully crafted ...perfect example of Indian fusion food done right.
So I had Butter pepper garlic squid , chicken 65 pakoda , mushroom pepper fry with lemon rice , Mandarin mint, elaneer pudding with lamington.
Squid was perfectly cooked ( it's indeed quite a skill I must say )
Plating of chicken 65 pakoda absolutely fantastic ...
Mushrooms were sauteed to perfection and the combination of lemon rice was perfect.
Elaneer pudding with lamington was right with the sweetness and dried coconut shavings ...but it's quite over priced ....wish there was a flavor of coconut water in it as I couldn't feel any ....
Good job guys ☺️

On 17/12/18 When I visited I ordered (a) #chitchat #chaat (AED 11) - Assorted street food from India. Aloo tikka chaat taste in a bowl and corn and peanuts based snacks in the cup respectively are truely delicious. I would give 4.5* for Aloo tikka (potato croquette) which was sweet and tangy and also contains fried crispy spinach. Other two items deserve 4*. Overall, My PmP rating is 4.5* for the taste and presentation, (b) #kottubowl (AED 47) - Originated from a place called Virudhunagar, Tamilnadu this popularly known roadside dish is made using shredded parotta (kerala bread) and mixed with shredded chicken. Salna (typically a sauce) comes in the side. Arugula and crispy pappad (sort of wafer) are used for garnishing. Liked it! So my PmP rating is 4*, (c) #sukka #chicken (AED 40) at @kanteen_dubai - Coolest part of this dish was the taste of dry coconut in manglorean spices which I simply enjoyed it. Its little spicy but goes well with appam. Boneless chicken was well cooked and marinated that the spices were well infused. My rating would have been high but slightly disappointed with high oil content. Hence, my PmP rating is 3.5*
Nice place with rustic look , most importantly great service . Menu had great choice and Indian food in different styles .we went for the classic mahesh lunch home dishes but we tried the new twist of the choices .
Enjoyed the food and great price.

Heard a lot about this restaurant, so decided to pay a visit with friends. The interiors are vibrant, laid back with excellent space around.
Makes you feel right at home. We ordered Begun Bhaja Tempura, Chicken 65 Pakoda, Prawns Dhamaka and for mains Prawn Curry with Appam and Parota.
The Tempura and Prawns Dhamaka tasted great, however the prawn ghassi was absolute letdown. Tasteless and bland and Pakoda was dry and meaningless. The King Fish Fry was yummy and divine. APPAM was clearly Dosa in a pan and Parota tight and weird to taste. Being a hard south Indian foodie I know my appams and curries.
THE FLAVOR IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN PRESENTATION.
The beautiful thing was the Chef was extremely kind to take our feedback constructively (which is very rare) and he was a great listener and complimented us with a special dessert which blew our mind.
All in all the menu is great but the taste of food needs a lot of work.
I Cant wait to come back here to see what changes will be made and try more stuff on their menu.
I had hosted my sons birthday party here, special thanks to Mr.krishna the manager, who made it possible and provided us with Excellent food and service. The food was so finger licking good the guests couldnt get over it. And the service was so clean and well managed by the staff.
Definitely looking forward to this restaurant for the next party.
Been here with my family.nice warm friendly atmosphere.prompt service and tasty food.
Budget friendly too.staff were well dressed and neatly maintained restaurant.
I was here for a quick dinner. I ordered for Manglorean sishes- Chicken Sukka, Chicken ghee roast and Neer dosa. The food was great and the ambience was good.
Finger licking good food from Bombay duck,Bangda,fish curry to prawn curry..awesome ambience,excellent staff..hot food..what more to end a perfect evening with close friends and family.My dad loved this place and make him remember India once again..
This time on my foodventure I got the chance to visit kanteen with one of my friends. Lovely ambience and staff were really friendly. Our order was as follows,
1. BUNNYCHOW (Rogan Josh) (47 DHS) : Hallowed out big bread with mutton curry filled in it. The flavor was amazing and mutton was cooked really well.
2. SCHEZWAN BOWL (47 DHS) : It was a bowl of rice with slices of chicken. This was amazing and fulfilling as well.
The only thing that was a downer, I would say was the prices. The reason of 4 stars is because of the pricing but hey as I always say do check it for yourself. 😁😋
The management has done a great revamp of the traditional lunch home. I tried their Butter Chicken Bunny Chow which was absolutely delightful along with the Kolkata Rolls and Dosa Tacos. Very interesting menu options. The desserts however were a bit disappointing but the staff ensured to provide the best possible service.

We were invited for a masterclass and breakfast on a Saturday morning which was worth waking up early for. Previously known has Mahesh Lunch Home has now been remodeled and now goes by the name Kanteen which caters to everyone who would prefer to relax and enjoy some me time or spend time amongst family and friends with ofcourse some amazing food.
Absolutely love it when classic brands up their game by considering the consumers needs!
Kanteen is one such great example, they don't still serve their classic menu of Mahesh lunch home but also have added a variety of healthy options .
I got to try the quinona salads and various super bowls from the healthy range.
Loved the taste and the portion sizes. Value for money indeed.
A special mention about the delicious butter chciken bunny chow.
Overall a great place to enjoy some great dishes at a great price.
This is a fusion food concept! The fusion is food from around the world with a sprinkle of India. From healthy quinoa bowls to butter chicken bunny chow each dish is well presented and good value. They have a selection of tea and mocktails as well as fresh juices. It is located in Al Karama opposite Burj Aman Center. The restaurant has plenty of seating with a modern interior. It is a part of the Mahesh Lunch Home family. Overall it is great for lunch and breakfast! ❤️

Food talks about restaurant & quality, tried the food at a event extremely satisfied with the taste , mutton roll made me go for the 2nd one , not a fan of veg burger but there Mumbai burgers made me say wow , taste really good .
#asian #indian #foodie
Decent place. Good for peaceful dinning with family or friends. Good options for both veg and non vegetarians.
Food: - vegetarian preparations are exceptional. Non vegetarian is decent. Fish is good particularly. Chicken quality can be improved.
Ambience: - Good comfy and warm interiors. Innovative and contemporary. Lighting is subtle.
Service: - very good service. Helpful staff. If you are in fix what to eat..waiters surely know what the kitchen is best at!
Prawns Chilli pepper for starter and crab chettinad with appam for main course was good. Service was courteous and good . Desserts didn't like much. Ambience is sweet. Overall a little bit expensive.
Absolutely amazing place,impeccable,friendly and polite staff.Food is to die for.A must visit.Will definitely be back and recommend to friends as well.Thankyou and keep up the good work.
Tried the place twice and we loved the food there, you must try the chicken cream kebab and prawns in green chilly and pepper. Tried the Calcutta mutton roll too it's nice but a bit salty
I had heard a lot about Mahesh Lunch Home, in Mumbai and also here in Dubai but I had never tried it because I thought they don’t have much options for vegetarians. But then I decided to give Kanteen a visit & got to know they have a lot of vegetarian options 🤩 I tried they Kokam Cooler, Sol Kadi, Hatt-Ke Quinoa Salad, Paneer Super Bowl, Paneer Super Roll, Pav Bhaji Bunny Chow & the Bombay Street Melt Sandwich. The food was yum & the portions were huge. My Favorites were the Hatt-Ke Quinoa Salad because the Dressing was tasty & unique, 😋 not like the usual boring quinoa salads that you get. My other favorite was the Paneer Super Bowl, because it was a complete one bowl meal, and it was super delicious & healthy 💪🏼
Over I had an amazing experience, the staff was polite and they knew their stuff very well. 👌🏼

I would like to start by saying that Kanteen urban kitchen is a new concept by Mahesh lunch home. They have got beautiful interiors and the ambience is top notch. So i was invited for a master class session where we learnt interesting dishes.
Started off with Tea and cookies. And even Zayan my son happened to dip the cookies in tea and had the whole thing.
For master class we had Hatt ke Quinoa Salad (Chicken/Veg), loveed the flavours in it and was quite filling.
Next was Bunny chow, loved how the chef demonstrated how it was cooked. Its like a Bun opened up from top and filled with butter chicken or pav bhaaji. Ohh this was heaven and must try. This is a South African inspired dish.
Then the next class was on the super bowl, its like a whole meal consisting of chicken with schezwan sauce, fried rice, vegies and crispy noodles on the top. The flavours were top notch and it can feed two people easily.
Next we went on to have their other dishes in the breakfast menu,
1. Bombay Street melt sandwish
2. Dosa Tacos
3. Burji with potato.
And finally for the dessert which is completely made in house and it tasted the same. Went on to try,
1. Sooji chocolate muffin
2. Karara paneer roll(finger size)
3. Rainbow vermicelli doughnut,
I would definitely come back to this place.
Heard a lot of lovely things about this recently revamped place!
Recommend the:
- Dosa tacos
- Mushroom pepper fry
Limited options for vegetarians (as usual...we live a sad life)
Service: Warm and pleasant
Revisited Kanteen, after its rebranding from Mahesh Lunch home ..the ambiance is very young and zesty...a complete change from the earlier classic look..
the menu is interesting..a lot of fusion food to choose from ..although i would have liked to see more vegetarian main course options...
we ordered for the mushroom pepper fry, the bombay sandwich , chettiar prawns and the fish curry...
flavors on all the dishes were good.. and portions are great for sharing as well...
we wanted to try the kulfi kunafa for desert but they had run out of it...so we had the rabdi instead...this was pretty ordinary...
service was great! no complains!
So this what all we tried , loved the food and the ambience .
Dosa tacos - mini crispy dosas folles with spicy potatoes and cheese and kori roti ( a mix of South India , Mexico and manglore)
Bunny chow - a famous South African dish in Desi version . Freshly baked bun filled with paav baji or butter chicken .
Classic Bombay toast.
Egg hash , egg burji with potato hash .
Super bowl, a south east Asian inspired bowl which is filled with Desi version of fried rice and curry .

Recently visited the renovated Kanteen Restaurant which was earlier known as Mahesh lunch house .i have been to
Mahesh Linch house for their thali and rava fish fry .
Mahesh lunch house serves malwani and coastal mangalore delicacies . Now they have renovated to a cool quirky canteen style eatery serving some dishes from the Mahesh lunch house menu and rest of the dishes are fusion dishes inspired from around the world .
First of all a big appreciation is must for the ambience , they have created now . Total make over . The place looks like a cool hangout place , with lazy benches and funky quotes .also it looks more spacious .
We had a master class with the chef and we saw how they prepare their dishes quick and tasty, also could say healthy with no additives.
We were welcomed with karatea and biscuits, totally loved the karak chai . Strong and the sugar was perfect .
In the master class we learnt 3 dishes and a drink. The dishes were -
A healthy quinoa chicken salad , I loved how light and tummy filling the salad . A complete mix of protein , vegetables and healthy carb . What I loved the most was the crunch factor they have added in it . The mangalore special kori roti - it’s crispy rice dosas pappad kind .
Then the second dish was an Asian inspired super bowl . The super bowl is a bowl with all you need to fill your tummy . It’s a main course as it is . Chef prepared an egg fried rice and added to the bowl , then he prepared schezwan chicken and added that . Then sprouted beans and roasted garlic and fried noodle. Crunchy and mild spicy dish . Just like an asian street food . Easy to have on the go .
The third dish was my personal favorite, bunny chow aka stuffed buns they have it in four different flavors . Chef demonstrated us the butter chicken bun and also gave the veg paav bhaji bun to taste .This is also a main course of its own .This is a South African inspired dish , poor mans food . Where they have more of carbs and less of protein. The buns are prepared in house . A tasty light bun is filled with butter chicken and served .
When you cut the bun , the butter chicken oozes out which is soo satisfying to see and the bun takes up all the butter chicken goodness also . The bunny chow comes with sarson patty with Apple lime seasoning .
The drink we mastered was a unique version of sol khadi which is konkani kokum drink . Kokum , curry leaves lemon juice with sprite and soda . A perfect sweet and sour mojito to sip on .
After master class they did serve us their fusion breakfasts .
Indian omelette with hash potatoes.
Dosa Tacos , I loved the mini dosa tacos filled with cheese and kheema .
They also didn’t forget to serve us their Bombay Street style sandwich . Don’t forget to munch on those when you visit .
For sweets I had something which I have never tried earlier . Suji chocolate cupcake and healthy donuts . I just had small tastings only pretty good .
As its Diwali season around we had some take way of a box filled in with Indian sweets .
Final verdict - An ideal spot to take family and friends for a casual dining experience. The service and food was good . So was the quantity of dishes. Loved their pricing also .

Kanteen Urban kitchen is a brand new concept by Mahesh lunch home with a fresh ambience and menu with a twist. We bloggers were invited for a Masterclass session where we learnt some interesting dishes like salads, drinks , super bowl etc. We started with Tea,coffee – cookies and Juices to kick start the session. I absolutely adored the tea and cookies.
![Zomato]( "Recensione")
Attending a master class was something I tried for the first time, being a food lover all my life, I usually wondered what happened “behind the scene” and what secret recipe was added to make it taste so good! Though I had the curiosity, I was simply lazy to experiment anything at home but after attending this class, I can happily say that I feel more enthusiastic to cook something from scratch. I learned the Hatt - ke Quinoa salad, one delightful salad which you simply can’t get enough off and am definitely trying out this recipe at home! It was a fun class where the chef showed us how to make few dishes right from the scratch…and oh my-my! The food was so good that my mouth waters as I type about it.
This place which kick-started in Mumbai decades back to serve home-style Mangalorean coastal food and was quite famous for seafood became everyone’s instant favorite! Now coming to Dubai, this branch has started something quite new, though they still serve the Mahesh Lunch Home Menu, they have also started with the Kanteen Menu, and I have no words to describe it as this scrumptious menu is addictive. Starting from the Bombay street-side sandwich which will literally take you down the memory lane, and you will miss the street side food back home! This sandwich is finger licking delicious and so cheeeeeesssssssy that you are simply gonna love it!
The new Kanteen menu has a lot of Asian Fusion Cuisine. You will probably come across all possible street food classics but with a twist. Special mention goes to Bunny Chow with the pav bhaji twist. This Durban dish, which is basically a hallowed out bread loaf, served with an Indian curry stuffing inside is sure to steal your heart away! Also if you are super hungry and looking for a meal, you have to go for a super bowl which is a meal in itself loaded with all the goodness of veggies, rice, the meat of your choice! It’s not only delicious but also contains all the nutrients your body needs!
Now coming to the desserts, their kalakand tart is mind-blowing, actually, it can turn out to be the best Diwali sweets, why go for the same old ladoos when you can surprise your relatives with the kalakand tart. Also, Gulab Jamun and Nan khatai was a hit on the table.
Now coming to my favourite, desserts! I know that I have already mentioned about desserts in the earlier paragraph but this one is DIFFERENT. These desserts are never seen or heard before…you probably have come across various food recipes with a twist but have you heard of dessert with a twist?
These desserts are insane, to name a few…...I tried the Sooji Chocolate Muffin, Karara paneer roll, Rainbow vermicelli doughnut…they are so appealing and innovative! It’s a “Must Try” when you are at Kanteen.
Overall I absolutely loved the beautiful foodie adventure I had at Kanteen! If you truly love food, then nothing can stop you from visiting this place. Highly Recommending it!

Kanteen Dubai is one of the fusion restaurant located in Al Karama. We were invited for a blogger meet here, but anyway we were supposed to visit this place as it is in a hype these days.
This restaurant has got one of the best ambience and interiors along with spacious seating capacity.
Talking about the food....
We tried their yummy hatt ke quinoa, Akoori on hash, bunny chow, dosa tacos, super bowl, and some light snacks.
Hatt ke quinoa is basically quinoa salad with an Indian twist. I usually dislike salads, but this one was so yummy.
Akoori on hash is parsi style scrambled egg on potato hash. Another amazing dish.
Bunny chow was our favourite. It is basically a paav bhaaji with sarson galawat and Apple lime puri. Both veg and butter chicken bunny chow were amazing.
Dosa tacos were tacos stuffed with minced chicken in non veg and chilli sprinkle, potato n cheese in veg.
Super bowl: a full meal more than enough for one person. This super bowl has fried rice with gravy, fried noodles and garlic. This was the star of the day.
Light snacks platter had suji (semolina) cupcakes, donuts, paneer rolls and bombay street melt sandwiches. All these tasted good too.
Overall it’s an amazing place with reasonable prices and really really friendly and joyous staff.
Had an awesome dinner with friends here. We ordered :
Starters: pomfret tawa fry, shrimp crispy, Bombay duck
Main course: chicken ghee roast, manglorean king fish curry, neer dosa, steam rice
Everything was so perfect made and had such perfect flavour and taste it felt like eating in mangalore itself, more than food what made a big impact was our server Yogesh who suggested us what to order and served us with an amazing smile.
The new avatar of mahesh lunch home is definitely a must visit not only for its renewed menu but amazing servers like Yogesh.
We Had Fabulous Kebabs and Biryani While our Stay thrice We Visited this place. Service is also Good. Keep it up And Will Come Back again for Sure.
Nice attempt by mahesh lunch home.
Kanteen is quite a trendy restaurant with eye catching detailed interior.
Very welcoming and helpful staff.
Tried their mangalorian prawn curry Tiffin. More than enough for 2 people. Food arrived hot in a dabba style Tiffin on the table . Very well cooked prawns , spicy and quite satisfactory.
Will be surely back to try the other dishes
A place with very heart warming interiors and decor, and a very helpful staff, I truly enjoyed the food here. The portion size of the food is a great value for money, and the taste of each dish is unique to its own. I enjoyed the concept of Akoori on Hash and the Palak Khichdi, very new dishes that I've not tried before.
I truely am i big fan of the pav bhaji here which they serve in a bread bowl fulfilling for 2 and absolutely soft bread. The kanteen kebab were also good with the right blend of spices topped up with cheese. Also the roasted garlic chicken was good.
Went there over the weekend. Was really keen to try it as they have quite a lot on their menu. I’m a huge appaam and curry fan so I was looking forward to that the most. And it definitely didn’t disappoint.
We started of with:
- chicken shezwan tikka, absolutely amazing!
- chit-chat chaat, which was good too
-chicken 65 pakoda, I preferred all the other starters
- Bombay duck fry, which for someone who isn’t a huge fried fish fan I actually liked it
Main course:
We were so full so opted to keep it’s simple with chicken chettinad and appam. This for me was the star of the meal!
Will definitely go back!
Today urban kitchen by mahesh lunch home Manager Krishna hosted me and my family for complimentary dinner basis our last feedback. I must compliment him and chef subrat to take personalised care of us and recommended excellent items for starter like dynamite prawns and Kolkata mutton roll alongside fresh fruit juice. Both the starters were mouth watering and good on palate . Main course we had karara mutton and paneer hyderabadi which were well prepared and presented. Icing on the cake was dessert served with kulfi and paysam. Overall I am impressed with the experience and customer orientation demonstrated by Krishna and Subrat overall rating 4/5
To start with, the ambiance is very pleasant and well made. Service is up to the mark and staff is very very well behaved and courteous. Coming to the main deal, I have never have so fresh and well cooked squids in Dubai before. The crab was amazing as well. They have a choice to choose from two types of crab, which is the best part. I have visited Mahesh Lunch Home both in Mumbai and Dubai before and Kanteen is up to the standards as well. Surely a place to be visited soon.
Don't let the name fool you guys. It's one of the most amazing place to relax and enjoy a nice meal. I liked the place a lot. It's pretty spacious for a restaurant located in Karama.
Food is amazing. I liked the way they serve combo meals in their menu.
Will definitely visit again!!
Ambience is really beautiful. Food is served on time and beautifully presented. Service is really good
The best chicken gheerost ever tasted at Mahesh Lunch Home. Prawns gasi was also the tastiest. The whole decor of the restaurant is really beautifully, attractive hoardings.
Very good ambience and friendly customer service to start off. Was bit skeptical at first before visiting this place but once we entered the place and the food was served.. The first bite itself changed my whole view about this place. Very tasty food.. We tried the Hyderabad Briyani and Hamoor Tikka... It was just spot on. You could literally taste each and every herbs in ur taste buds. Will recommend this place to everyone.. Should try this perfect dine out place with your friends and loved ones. Will surely be back for more!
A very contemporary and still homely food kinda place . It is a very healthy amalgamation of Stree food and sense , which as a combo is rare . The chit chat is super affordable and worth to be relished . The place does remind you about the Mumbai Food amidst the city’s hustle bustle . Value for money and value for a second visit too..!!!
Nice place, aswm food, helpful staff. Order was served well in time. Value for money. Very creative interior. Loved the place. Highly recommendable

This is an edited review after my last review of the restaurant and I decided to give it another shot. This time, I was pleasantly surprised!!
Starters
⭐️ Complimentary breadsticks with a garlic sauce. Unlike last time, the bread actually tasted fresh and crisp.
⭐️ Prawn Dhamaka - A saucier and richer version of the famous Dynamite Prawns at P.F Changs. Little on the heavier side, but definitely recommend!
Mains
⭐️ Butter Chicken Bunny Chow - This is the first time i'm trying a bunny chow. Loved it! The butter chicken was slightly sweet ( just the way i like it ) and was a great combination with the bread!
Drink
⭐️ Manadarin Mint - Orange, Mint and Soda. Just the drink you need in the summers! quite refreshing 🙂
⭐️Hot Toddy - This is a great drink if you're looking for something warm to drink with cloves,cinnamon etc. However, it was piping hot when it arrived and stayed that way for the next 10-15 minutes. Tasted decent nevertheless.
Dessert
⭐️ Rose Rabri Falooda - The rabri was out of this world. This is just a great dessert!
⭐️ Elaneer Lamington - An unexpected but delightful combination! Must try if you love the flavour of coconut!
Special thanks to Mr.Krishna for suggesting the dishes and ensuring such a great experience :)
Used to find the earlier avatar very expensive and menu fish focussed. Now Kanteen has a superb menu with something for everyone including vegetarians. Prawn gassi, keema, clam sukka my favourites. Appams very tasty indeed. A must go!
My first visit since the revamp. Loved the Kheema poutine & if ur looking for some authentic mangalorean food.. Try the mangalorean bowl ( Kori Rotti).. Mandarin Mint🍹 👌

Butter chicken, paneer and Dosas are the unequivocal ambassadors of Indian Cuisine. Unfortunately, these ambassadors do not give due justice to the sheer diversity of Indian cuisine. With every state having its own unique cuisine, I have but only scratched the surface of the motherland’s diversity in food. Urban Kanteen is an unassuming establishment that is run by the well-known Mahesh Lunch Home chain of Mumbai. With an emphasis on coastal dishes, I was thoroughly impressed with the eclectic flavours and it was refreshing to try out something other than the usual barrage of dosas and ‘sabzi’.
Out of the dishes that I’ve tried out, I’d give my uno primo vote to the ghee roast prawns. The thick gravy has just the right amount of heat, is perfectly seasoned and goes well with the succulent prawns. The serving portion is adequate for two folks. Moving over to the sides, I’d choose the Appam over the neer dosa. The Appam’s slight tang is a better complement to pretty much all the dishes and it is also the more economical option. Sukka clams are a great option if you’re looking for a thicker gravy.
The weak points of the menu are the drinks and appetizers, with drinks having the lower score. I’ve had the Mandarin Mint and Guava Twist and both drinks pale in comparison to the succulent main course offerings. The Hamour Tikka, though cooked perfectly, was lacking in flavour and was a stark contrast to the rich main course offerings. Despite these chinks in the menu, the main course offerings propel this restaurant through and make it fully deserving of a glowing thumbs-up.
With its delectable offerings, Urban Kanteen is a fantastic place to try out the lesser known local cuisines of India. A professional staff and a modern yet warm décor are the icings on top of the cake. Kudos!
Food: 4.8/5
Value for Money: 4/5
Service: 4/5
Ambience: 4/5
A completely transformed Mahesh Lunch Home to what I have known for soo many years - which was for Some Yummy Tasty South Indian Sea Food delicacy and now with Uber chic ambience - it’s definitely One should not miss in Dubai... We soo miss our authentic Manglorean dishes away from home.. Ordered Bangda (Macarel) gassi (which is Gravy) in manglorean terms; Chicken Sukka (which is bit thicker Dry gravy); Sol Kadi (Kokum Drink) with Neer Dosa (which is like soft paper Dosa) AND it was mouth watering.. Being a foodie and a Manglorean - I cannot ask for anything better and these on my table.. my take - 5 on 5 for Good Food, Ambience, Service, Quality and for this I might not even look at the Price they would charge for it - Even though it is little on higher side.
Recommend to try - Sol Kadi - never tasted such refreshing drink on a sunny afternoon...
Chit Chat Chaat, Kanteen Kebab, Chicken 65 Pakoda, Veg Finale & Butter Chicken 🔥 | Loved the presentation and the theme of this restaurant. Many vegetarian options are available as well! My favourite was their Kanteen Kebab, it was delicious. 😋 A must visit!
One of the best Indian Food Joints in Dubai. Food is super delicious. Most importantly, the staff is extremely polite and friendly, which makes ur dining experience enjoyable. I love their Kokam mocktail. I highly recommend this place to foodies.

Recently visited this place to try the famous “quick gun murugan” and some other snacks. Highly impressed with the quality of food and drinks here. I also tried the taco bites of dosa they had on the menu and it was delicious. I am sure to come back and try more of other varieties food which are surely the talk of the town
Edited with additions:
Kanteen is a new version of the very own neighborhood eatery, Mahesh Lunch home. With new and improved everyday recipes, Kanteen is the newest desi fusion in town. I loved the complete meals concept which were enough to be had without a side of rice or bread. They focus on taste, with new concept and home like taste. They have brought flavors that are authentic in Mangalore and other parts if India. Some unique dishes we had and learnt to make during the master class were:
Bunny Chow: Butter chicken and Pav Bhaji with Sarson Galawat and apple lime puree. With homemade bun sliced deliciously from the center and filled with the creamiest butter chicken, this dish was surely one of my favorites. The Pav Bhaji which was the vegetarian version of the chow was a wonderful surprise too. Not only was the making and presentation was very creative, the taste too was delicious. It’s a meal by itself. Yum o meter: 4.5/5
Hatt-k Quinoa salad (chicken): This one was easy to make and delicious. In a world full of health-conscious people, they came up with the Hatt- k quinoa salad which has the goodness of chicken and Kori roti. Surely one of the crunchiest most delicious meal by itself. Yum o meter: 5/5
Super bowl – Schezwan: One of the best complete meals I had here. The rice, dried noodles, broccoli, Schezwan flavors and much more all in a bowl. This one was the best of its kind that I have had in a long time. I loved the burst of flavors with so many ingredients in a single bowl. Yum o meter: 10/5
Sooji Chocolate Muffin: Was not too sweet and was such a surprise. This one was made in a creative way and not only that, this was also bite sized which means you would eat less instead of a bowl full of halwa. I loved the concept and moreover the taste. Yum o meter: 5/5
Karara Paneer roll: Loved the flavors and consistency of the delicious paneer fillings in the roll. Yum o meter: 4/5
Dosa Tacos: Loved the gun powder and bite sized tacos, the rocket leaves. It was delicious and enough for a whole-hearted breakfast. Yum o meter: 4/5
Kanteen the new and improved version of Mahesh Lunch home is like a breadth of fresh air. With amazing Mangalorean flavors and the taste intact, this place does not make me miss anything about Mangalore. Thanks for having me Hyper Links and Kanteen.
Nice food very homely for the manglorean cuisine and also great innovations with the originality of the dish maintained and a good modern twist to the India Cuisine they have given with their new inclusions.
Good ambiance over all with great food and just the waiters or servers need to be a bit more attentive.
Service - Wao , Krishna and team were great , we were there late on a Friday night and they were all smiles and happy to serve after a long day , somehow they got to know to know my birthday was due in the coming week and in anticipation they served a small cake and desserts on the house saying ( we are not sure if you will come on your birthday so in advance ) , kids were happy , newly redecorated modern set up with the desi touch in place and food .... surely recommend !! Keep it going guys !

“Good friends would buy you Lunch, Best friends will eat your Lunch.”
Mahesh lunch home is very successful chain of restaurant in India, Especially in Mumbai. They serve specialized Mangalorean food. It was my first visit to Dubai outlet. Dubai restaurant menu would surprise you as it’s not very specific to Mangalorean style alone. They have some of the best South Indian dishes on menu.
This visit we tried
1. Seafood Soup
2. Neer Dosa
3. Mallipuram Prawn
4. Aappam
5. King Fish Curry
6. Rice
Seafood soup was very good and loved the flavors in it. So as the Kingfish curry too, it was of excellent taste and enjoyed it. Neer dosa and Appam was done well and went very well with fish curry and Mallipuram prawn.
Mallipuram prawns is roast type disk with lots of Cashew, Malli, and other spices grated and I should say that it got a surprise taste. Not all may like it, but I loved it.
I understand they offer very good Crab dishes where you can pick the one you like and they will cook for you. So, I want to try some Tawa Fry and Crab during next visit.
Nice ambiance restaurant with very attentive and friendly staff. You would find parking in front or around the restaurant.
Ordered prompfret fry.. Cooked till perfection with well coated spices. We also tried some chicken gravy.... Their Sol kadhi had an authentic maharastrian flavour
Food was excellent. Delivery was delayed a bit. Other than that good value for money on this order as they had an offer. Pepper lemon fish and some beautiful vegetable rice. And kokum cooler which is excellent as well.
Name has given Kanteen but the Decor and ambience will not make you feel like canteen.
We ordered chicken miglai which is made up of idling chunks, chicken and mangalorean masala was just amazing, masala was so flavorful and authentic. We also ordered kingfish gassi curry made with again manglorean style with thick coconut curry accompanied by neer dosa and appam. We really enjoyed every bite of it and definitely come back to try more dishes.
Recommended for authentic South Indian flavor.
Cheers!

(تمت الترجمة بواسطة Google.) أود أن أبدأ بالقول إن مطبخ Kanteen الحضري هو مفهوم جديد من إعداد Mahesh home. لديهم تصميمات داخلية جميلة وأجواء من الدرجة الأولى. لذلك تمت دعوتي لحضور جلسة صف رئيسية حيث تعلمنا أطباق ممتعة.
بدأت مع الشاي والبسكويت. وحتى زيان صدف أن ابني غمس البسكويت في الشاي وشرب كل شيء.
بالنسبة للصف الرئيسي ، كان لدينا سلطة هات كي كينوا (دجاج / خضار) ، أحببت النكهات الموجودة فيها وكانت ممتلئة تمامًا.
بعد ذلك كان الأرنب تشاو ، أحب كيف أوضح الطاهي كيف تم طهيه. إنه يشبه كعكة يفتح من الأعلى ويمتلئ بالزبدة بالدجاج أو باف باجي. أوه ، هذه كانت الجنة ويجب أن نحاول. هذا طبق مستوحى من جنوب إفريقيا.
ثم كان الدرس التالي في السوبر بول ، وهو يشبه وجبة كاملة تتكون من دجاج مع صلصة شيزوان وأرز مقلي وخضار ونودلز مقرمشة في الأعلى. كانت النكهات من الدرجة الأولى ويمكن أن تطعم شخصين بسهولة.
بعد ذلك ، ذهبنا لتناول أطباقهم الأخرى في قائمة الإفطار ،
1. شارع بومباي يذوب السندويش
2. دوسا تاكو
3. برجي بالبطاطا.
وأخيرًا للحلوى المصنوعة بالكامل في المنزل ومذاقها هو نفسه. ذهبت للمحاولة ،
1. كعكة الشوكولاتة سوجي
2. لفافة بانير كرارة (مقاس الإصبع)
3 - دونات الشعيرية بألوان قوس قزح ،
بالتأكيد سأعود إلى هذا المكان.

I would like to start by saying that Kanteen urban kitchen is a new concept by Mahesh lunch home. They have got beautiful interiors and the ambience is top notch. So i was invited for a master class session where we learnt interesting dishes.
Started off with Tea and cookies. And even Zayan my son happened to dip the cookies in tea and had the whole thing.
For master class we had Hatt ke Quinoa Salad (Chicken/Veg), loveed the flavours in it and was quite filling.
Next was Bunny chow, loved how the chef demonstrated how it was cooked. Its like a Bun opened up from top and filled with butter chicken or pav bhaaji. Ohh this was heaven and must try. This is a South African inspired dish.
Then the next class was on the super bowl, its like a whole meal consisting of chicken with schezwan sauce, fried rice, vegies and crispy noodles on the top. The flavours were top notch and it can feed two people easily.
Next we went on to have their other dishes in the breakfast menu,
1. Bombay Street melt sandwish
2. Dosa Tacos
3. Burji with potato.
And finally for the dessert which is completely made in house and it tasted the same. Went on to try,
1. Sooji chocolate muffin
2. Karara paneer roll(finger size)
3. Rainbow vermicelli doughnut,
I would definitely come back to this place.

(تمت الترجمة بواسطة Google.) لقد تمت دعوتنا لدورة رئيسية ووجبة إفطار صباح يوم سبت وهو ما يستحق الاستيقاظ مبكرًا من أجله.
كان معروفًا سابقًا أن Mahesh Lunch Home تم الآن إعادة تصميمه وأصبح الآن يحمل اسم Kanteen الذي يلبي احتياجات كل من يفضل الاسترخاء والاستمتاع ببعض الوقت أو قضاء بعض الوقت بين العائلة والأصدقاء مع بعض الطعام الرائع بالطبع. التصميمات الداخلية خفيفة مع اقتباسات ملتوية وديكور خشبي ومقاعد مريحة.
لقد تم الترحيب بنا ببعض العصائر الطازجة كبداية. قررنا تناول عصير البرتقال ، وكان منعشًا للغاية. ثم جاء dosa tacos بينما كنا ننتظر الطاهي ليبدأ المحاضرة الرئيسية. كانت سندويشات التاكو لذيذة مع حشوة من البطاطس والجبن ، وهي مزيج كلاسيكي ولا يمكن أن تخطئ في هذا.
تضمن العرض الرئيسي ثلاثة أطباق: سلطة الكينوا ، سوبر بوول وطعام الأرنب.
تم تحضير سلطة الكينوا Hatt-Ke مع الدجاج والكينوا السوداء لغير النباتيين بينما تناول النباتيون الكينوا البيضاء مع القرنبيط والخضروات الأخرى. لأولئك المهووسين بالصحة ومحبي الكينوا ، لديك فائز هنا. تأتي نكهة المقرمشة الخاصة من كوري روتي المشهورة في مانجالور.
يحتوي Superbowl أيضًا على نسختين أحدهما مع الدجاج والآخر مع بانير. الوعاء مصنوع من أرز مقلي بالبيض ، بروتين ، خضار ، ثوم مشوي ونودلز مقلية. إنه طبق هندي صيني وحشو فائق.
باني تشاو هو طبق جنوب أفريقي وهو عبارة عن كعكة محشوة كبيرة. هناك أربع حشوات مختلفة ، جربنا باف باجي وأذهلنا بها. كان الباجي مطبوخًا جيدًا. هذا الطبق جيد بما يكفي للمشاركة بين 2-3 أشخاص بسهولة.
بالنسبة للمشروبات ، رأينا كيف تم صنع Mandarin Mint & Kokum Cooler.
بعد المحاضرة الرئيسية ، جربنا مسدس الموروجان السريع ، ولفائف دجاج تيكا ، وشارع بومباي ذائب. Quick Gun Murugan عبارة عن فطائر محمصة في التوابل والسمن. كانت هذه لذيذة ومثالية لتناول وجبة خفيفة. رول دجاج تكا مصنوع من البراتا محشو بالدجاج والخضار. يقترن مع وجبة من البطاطس المقلية. قم بإذابة شطيرة جبنة مشوية مصنوعة من الطماطم والجبن. أيضا ، يأتي مع بطاطس مقرمشة.
الأجزاء جيدة بما يكفي للمشاركة بين شخصين.
جميع الخوادم كانت لديهم ابتسامة على وجوههم وكانوا مضيافين للغاية.
التسعير معقول بالنسبة للجودة والكمية المعروضة.
سنعود لتناول طعام الأرنب وتجربة المزيد من الأطباق التي فاتناها هذه المرة.

We were invited for a masterclass and breakfast on a Saturday morning which was worth waking up early for.
Previously known has Mahesh Lunch Home has now been remodeled and now goes by the name Kanteen which caters to everyone who would prefer to relax and enjoy some me time or spend time amongst family and friends with of-course some amazing food. The interiors are LIT with quirky quotes, wooden décor, and comfy seating.
We were welcomed with some fresh juices to begin with. We decided to go with the orange juice, and it was quite refreshing. Then came the dosa tacos while we waited for the chef to begin the masterclass. The tacos were delicious with a filling of potato and cheese, classic combination and cannot go wrong with this one.
The masterclass included three dishes: a quinoa salad, superbowl and bunny chow.
Hatt-Ke Quinoa salad was prepared with chicken and black quinoa for non-vegetarians whilst the vegetarians had the white quinoa along with cauliflower and other vegetables. For those health freaks and quinoa lovers, you have got a winner here. The special punch of crispiness comes from the kori roti which is famous in Mangalore.
Superbowl also had two versions one with chicken and one with paneer. The bowl is made with a base of egg fried rice, protein, veggies, roasted garlic and fried noodles. It is an Indo-Chinese dish and super filling.
Bunny Chow is a South African dish which is basically a large stuffed bun. There are four different stuffings, we tried the pav bhaji and were wowed by it. The bhaji was well-cooked. This dish is good enough to share between 2-3 people easily.
For the drinks, we saw how the Mandarin Mint & Kokum Cooler were made.
After the masterclass, we tried the quick gun murugan, chicken tikka roll, and Bombay street melt. Quick Gun Murugan are idlis tossed in spices and ghee. These were flavorful and perfect to snack on. Chicken Tikka Roll is made of paratha with a stuffing of chicken and veggies. It is paired with a serving of fries to go with. Bombay Street Melt a grilled cheese sandwich made using tomatoes and cheese. Also, comes with crisp fries.
The portions are good enough to share amongst two people.
All the servers had a smile on their face and were very hospitable.
The pricing is reasonable for the quality and quantity offered.
We shall be back for the bunny chow and to try more dishes we missed out this time.
(تمت الترجمة بواسطة Google.) هل تريد أكل المأكولات البحرية الطازجة؟ ثم هذا هو المكان. لم يخب ظننا قط هنا. زرت هذا المطعم في عدة مناسبات.
إنها تخدم أكثر المأكولات البحرية الطازجة وستقوم أيضًا بتعديل التوابل حسب حاجتك.
قد يكون الذهاب يوم الجمعة محفوفًا بالمخاطر قليلاً. إنه مزدحم للغاية وقد تضطر إلى الانتظار. يأخذون حجز tabke على الإنترنت أيضا.
الطعام والخدمة- ممتازة!

Do you want to eat fresh sea food ? Then this is the place. Have never been disappointed here. Visited this restaurant on several occasions.
They serve the most fresh sea food and will also adjust the spice as per your need.
Going on Friday can be a bit risky. It is extremely crowded and you may have to wait. They do take online tabke booking also.
Food, service- excellent !
(تمت الترجمة بواسطة Google.) أفضل مطعم مانجالوريان في دبي. جو لطيف وخدمة جيدة. المقاعد محدودة. حجز مقاعدك لتجنب الانتظار.
أطباق المأكولات البحرية جيدة للغاية. كراب سمن مشوي مع دوسا نير يجب تجربته. يمكن للمرء أن يختار من سرطان البحر الحي أو سرطان البحر وسوف يكون الطبق الخاص بك جاهزًا.
وقد بدأوا مؤخرًا في تناول طعام غير نباتي (مأكولات بحرية أو دجاج) على الغداء.
ينصح به بشده!!

Best Mangalorian restaurant in Dubai. Nice ambiance and good service. Seats are limited. Book your seats to avoid wait.
Seafood dishes are too good. Crab Ghee Roast with Neer dosa is a must try. One can select from live crab or lobster and your dish will be ready in a giffy.
Recently they have started Non Veg (Sea food or Chicken) Thali for lunch.
Highly Recommended!!
(تمت الترجمة بواسطة Google.) سرطان الطين هو التخصص هنا. سلطعون ثوم الفلفل بالزبدة هو ببساطة يمن وكذلك سلطعون الفلفل الأخضر. يجب أن تجرب مكان لمحبي سرطان البحر

Mud crabs is a specialty here. Butter pepper garlic crab is simply yum and so is crab chilli green pepper. A must try place for crab lovers
(تمت الترجمة بواسطة Google.) يمكن ملاحظة المطعم بسهولة والأجواء مذهلة ...
(التعليق الأصلي)
The restaurant is easily noticeable and the ambience is astounding...
(تمت الترجمة بواسطة Google.) ذهبت مع بعض الأصدقاء والعائلة. لم أستطع الاستمتاع بتخصصات المأكولات البحرية لأنني كنت صائما ، وبالتالي لم يكن لدي سوى بعض خياراتهم النباتية. استمتع الآخرون بتخصصاتهم واستمتع الجميع بالطعام. شعرت أن العناصر كانت مرتفعة الثمن قليلاً. على أي حال إنه مكان أقوم بزيارته مرة أخرى في وقت ما في المستقبل لتجربة عناصر المأكولات البحرية.

Went with some friends and family. Could not enjoy their seafood specialties as I was fasting and hence had only some of their vegetarian options. The others enjoyed their specialties and everyone enjoyed the food. Felt that the items were a bit highly priced. Anyways its a place I would visit again sometime in future to try out the sea food items.
