Hotel A Aa, Manguli (ଅ ଆ ହୋଟେଲ୍, ମଙ୍ଗୁଳି)

If you are traveling from Bhubaneswar or Cuttack towards Bhadrak, Balasore, Baripada, Anugul, Dhenkanal, or any other places that pass through Manguli Chhaka, then you must have heard about this restaurant, Hotel A Aa (ହୋଟେଲ୍ ଅ ଆ).

I am sharing my personal experience from the 18th of July in 2026. While returning from Puri after Jagannath Darshan, we went to this hotel for our lunch. But our experience was horrible.

It was not the 1st time when we came here. Previously, I had tried many times to have lunch before. In April, it was under renovation, and after that, I missed the chance due to the wrong route.

The staff of this hotel doesn't have manners. And their service is horrible. And the taste of food is not that good, for which I will return for another meal. We had ordered 4 veg lunches and one fish thali. Thank god they served the right item, but most of the time, they serve non-veg to vegetarian orders.

Though I travel frequently through this route, but I don't have much idea about other hotels. Yes, Odiani Family Restaurant in Panikoili is one of the recommended hotels, but a few people are not happy. I am happy with Odianee Hotel.

Another restaurant is Jamuna Family Restaurant and Hotel in Chandikhol. I have visited twice within a span of one month, and my experience with this hotel is really good and I must recommend this and it's value for money.
