Diner Questions (FAQ)

Q: What makes Baripada Mudhi Mansa unique?

Unlike typical mutton curries served with rice or roti, Mudhi Mansa uses a specific type of thin-crusted puffed rice (Mudhi) from Baripada that stays crispy while absorbing the spicy mutton 'jholo' (gravy). It's a staple of the Bhanja royalty heritage.

Q: Is it safe to eat Mudhi Mansa if I don't like spicy food?

While traditionally spicy, we offer custom spice levels. The sweetness of the slow-cooked Khasi meat balances the heat of our hand-ground chillies, creating a harmonious flavor profile.

Q: Where is Baripada located?

Baripada is the headquarters of Mayurbhanj district in Odisha, India. It's approximately a 4-5 hour drive from Bhubaneswar or Kolkata and is the gateway to Similipal National Park.

Q: Do you offer delivery or takeaway services?

Yes! We offer both takeaway and delivery services within Baripada. Call us at +91 6782 251234 or WhatsApp to place your order. We ensure the Mudhi stays crispy even during delivery.
