This place had been on my list for a while, especially after reading all the positive reviews. We tried the chicken biryani, beef curry, porota, and meen pollichathu. The food was good, but it didn't quite have the wow factor compared to other Kerala restaurants I've visited. I was disappointed that the meen pollichathu was wrapped in baking paper instead of the traditional banana leaf. We stopped by on our way home from London, and while it's worth trying if you're in the area, it's not something I'd go out of my way to drive to Northampton for.

Manna Food Corner in Northampton serves delicious South Indian dishes full of authentic flavors. The biryanis, curries, and traditional Kerala specials are fresh and well-prepared, with friendly service adding to the experience. A great spot for a tasty and satisfying meal.

A gem! It's a small restaurant and full of Malayalis lol, so you know it is authentic. We felt like we were in Kerala. They also do takeaway and delivery. The food was so tasty and affordable here! Literally, one of the best beef roasts and parotta we had in the UK. We also tried their bamboo biryani which was unique and flavourful. Tried 2 types of chatti chor here - fish and the normal chicken and beef one. Really enjoyed the beef/chicken one - heaven! The chicken curry and chicken 65 was also nice with the idiyappam. We ended the meal with some proper Kerala tea (chaya). @risholflavour

Manna Food Corner offers a delightful dining experience with its authentic, flavorful dishes and friendly atmosphere. The Manna Chatti chore and Biriyani is a standout, perfectly spiced and aromatic, while the generous portions and reasonable prices ensure great value. The service is quick, and the casual ambiance makes it a perfect spot for a relaxed meal. Whether dining in or taking out, Manna Food Corner consistently delivers a satisfying experience that’s hard to beat. Highly recommended!

The service was so poor that I’m expecting an equally nasty response here online. This was the absolute worst customer service experience I’ve ever had in all of Northampton in over a decade. Having had the takeout, I was really excited to finally sit and eat inside this restaurant and try a new dish. Unfortunately, the music was so loud and another customer was blasting videos from his phone so loudly That I had to ask him, politely I might add, to wear earphones. Unfortunately, he very aggressively dismissed my plea, and even worse, the shop ownerss became dismissive, aggressive, and certainly their behavior ruins my appetite. I can no longer recommend this place and certainly would never go back. Follow-up: as expected, the owners have posted a response which did not address any of my concerns, making clear they did not buy my business.
