Dexter! Well maintained restaurant. Technically restrobar. This place is really great! Well maintained. Staffs are really polite and friendly. Enough parking space. The food options are nice. The food quality was awesome. The quantity of food and pricing also reasonable. Best place to hang out with friends and family. There's both indoor and outdoor seatings. Overall nice experience. Must visit once ❤️
Dexter is an amazing place to chill with your friends, they have varities of food options, it is budget friendly, we tried there chicken satay which is quite a popular dish of Dexter it was good but not that great, the drums of heaven was amazing and the jalapeno poppers were a bit tangy and cheesy. Must try there buffalo wings and baked yoghurt. Overall it was a great experience would love to visit again.
The open environment at Dexter is just so relaxing, I can blindly say that this is the best place in Manipal. The ambience here is unlike any other place around. Excellent food 🥘, superb service 👨🍳. We visited the restaurant in a group of about 18 people for dinner. All the starters were good, especially the continental items. Chicken butter garlic, Satay and Chicken biryani 🍗 are must try items. Looking forward to many more visits to this place 🕺👏🏼🎉
Very very happening place and frequently visited by the students and young crowd of Manipal. Great continental food. The spaghetti and chicken is very good. Well laid out cost place with huge outdoor seating...and a very warm host! It's a must visit.
This place is like an emotion you want to indulge into. A friend once recommended it to be the most beautiful place for solely continental dishes and damn, I fell in love with the place, the typical soothing music(my favorite) and the chicken that they bake for up-to 18 hours for a certain dish, it's mind-blowing when you drink your teeth into it. Totally worth every penny for some amazing continental cuisine.
The chilli chicken tandoori was absolutely phenomenal! 🔥 A special request that turned into a flavor-packed masterpiece — smoky, spicy, and perfectly cooked. Huge thanks to the chef and team for nailing it, and a special shoutout to the one who requested it — brilliant call! 🙌 This dish seriously deserves a permanent place on the menu. Too good to stay behind the scenes!
Food and service is very hood. Me and my frnd went to have only food. Quality and quantity is sufficient. They service is also very good. They need to keep the place cleaner. The dogs are roaming inside the restro.
•FOOD IS VERY CLASSY AND TASTY😋 •RESTO AMBIENCE IS ALSO GOOD. •FOOD IS VERY UNIQUE AND GOOD PLATING •MUST VISIT RESTAURANT •OVERALL 10/10 👏🙌🔥
I recently visited this restobar for some snacks and had a pleasant experience overall. The menu offers a good variety of options. We tried several baked items, including the cheese & garlic bread, minced chicken lasagne, herbed wedges, and butter garlic prawns. The food was very tasty and well-prepared, making it the highlight of our visit. Among the beverages, the virgin piña colada was decent, while the cold coffee and fruit punch could have been more flavorful. The ambiance of the place is nice, making it a good spot to visit with friends for a casual outing. Overall, I would recommend this place for its food and friendly atmosphere.
Loved the dishes .. Nice presentation of food. Even the prices were good and seating was outside with music . I felt I was in Goa .
