Food review 2 : Hadiqa
Hadiqa
The tour of Flavors of Manipal has reached
Hadiqa, which is located near Tiger Circle, Manipal. A beautiful place with
some fun filled music, lovely vibes and perfect food. Diving in to the dishes
ordered, they were, chicken Caesar salad, veg biriyani, Penne Arabita pasta,
the famous Pocco pizza(in le mak sauce), Khao suey, refreshing accompaniments,
cold coffee and Nutella shake.
Starting off with the chicken Caesar salad,
is filling, loaded with veggies, tossed in light and minimal flavors. The veg
biriyani is yet another lip smacking delicacy with all the wonderful flavors
and spices in perfect blend. Penne Arabiata pasta is as interesting as it
sounds. With distinct flavors of sour and spice, it is a wholesome dish in all.
The Pocco pizza was absolutely delicious and could be evenly shared amongst 3
or 4 people. The unique Khao Suey in Le Mak sauce had distinct veggies cooked
with soup noodles and other wonderful elements and last but not the least, the
refreshing cold coffee and iced tea were lovely drinks to go along with the
dishes.
The ambience and the environment is warm
and beautiful. The Preparation time taken was quite less. The prices are
pocket-friendly. The Parking is spacious and would fit perfectly for any two
wheelers or four wheelers. This place is very dear to us as the idea of
‘Flavors of Manipal’ took form here. This is where we began the planning of our
tasks and thus it is undeniably, very special to us. All in all, Hadiqa would
be rated a 4 / 5.
