Mantra Cafe
A clifftop café inside the Zostel Gokarna hostel, overlooking Kudle Beach for sunsets; burgers and Korean fried chicken are popular with backpackers.
Mantra Cafe is inside the Zostel Gokarna compound on Kudle Beach Road. Perched on the cliff, it overlooks Kudle Beach and is a popular sunset spot. The menu is short, centred on burgers, Asian-style snacks and drinks. Reviews often mention the truck driver burger, Korean fried chicken and the mango milkshake. Beer and cocktails are also served, and there is live music on weekends. The access road is bumpy, and prices are on the higher side for the area. About 600 rupees per person; it gets crowded at sunset.
