Given its incredible popularity with hundreds of seafood lovers who visit here for the meals, fries and curries everyday, it’s hard to believe that this restaurant is only six years old. I visit this eatery that has the vibe of a busy dining hall to indulge in a humongous meal, and along the way also catch up with its unassuming owner, Vicky Pai, who says his trying experiences as a young executive looking for affordable, homestyle food in a new city, spurred him to open Machali - to serve tasty, homestyle food at affordable prices. And going by my meals at this eatery, I have visited thrice already, and watching fastidious Mangalorans relish the seafood here, Machali certainly delivers, whether one wants to enjoy a sumptuous fish meal and fry for Rs. 150 or splurge Rs. 300. Truly, a democratic seafood restaurant that caters to all.

Fish Thaali
A standard Mangalore fish meal experience, on the plate there is a fish curry with a small piece of fish, some dry vegetables on the side, boiled rice, shrimp chutney, fried sandige and pickle. Servers walk along ladling more fish curry, a simple Konkani style lentil preparation, daali thove, and rasam out of buckets.
Rs. 60 (usd 0.8)
8/10

Taru Buthai
Tiny sardines, fried to delicious scrumptiousness, the sort that you eat whole. Quite tasty!
Rs. 100 (usd 1.3)
8.5/10

Prawn Fry
A robustly-flavoured fresh prawn preparation crusted in a Konkan koliwada masala. Once you get past the spices, you can taste the sweet lilt of the prawns.
Rs. 230
8.5/10

Boneless Crab Ghee Roast
Perfect for those who love crab but don’t want to go through the hassle of de-shelling one. The lush ghee roast masala packs a punch more so against the mild flavours of the crab, the buttery fervour of the ghee brings the spices and the crabmeat together.
Rs. 280 (usd 3.8)
10/10

Squid Ghee Roast
The squid was cooked to the texture that yielded quite gently to the bite, the masala though, seemed a tad salty to my taste. Perhaps a bit lacking in the ghee.
Rs. 180 (usd 2.4)
7.5/10

Alle Piyao
A flavourful Konkani curry made of ginger, onions and fresh coconut. The onions, starring both in the masala and the seasoning, are quite pronounced on the palate, as is a tinge of turmeric and the warmth of the ginger.
Rs. 130 (usd 1.8)
10/10

Anjal Tava Fry
A plump piece of fish, flakey and pristine in its freshness, crusted with a punchy masala. You can taste the red chilli spice the moment you place the fish in your mouth, but the meaty character of the anjal balances against the spicy hit.
Rs. 200 (usd 2.7)
9/10

Pomfret Tava Masala
The pomfret is burdened under the weight of a flavourful masala that has notes of savouriness, heat and sourness, owing to the onions, curry leaves, chillies and tamarind. The fish is moist, poached in a turmeric curry first, before being slathered with the masala in a pan.
Rs. 300 (usd 4)
9/10

Happy Eating!

Affordable, Fresh & Delicious SEAFOOD At MANGALORE PEARL | PRAWN GHEE ROAST | KANE FRY | CRAB & More

#Seafood #SeafoodRestaurantsInBangalore #GourmetOnTheRoad

Best Seafood Restaurants In Bangalore. Mangalorean Food In Bangalore. Authentic Mangalorean Food In Bengaluru.

A favourite for Mangalorean fare in Bengaluru, Mangalore Pearl is always bustling with patrons who visit this spot for their taste of coastal Karnataka, more specifically the Mangalorean Catholic-style of seafood food.

Set up by Steven Pinto who left behind a lucrative career in the IT sector to pursue his dream of sharing the food he grew up with, this 15-year old restaurant rose to fame thanks to its spiced filled seafood dishes and Mangalorean classics.

In this episode of Gourmet On The Road, Food Lovers’ Editor, Kripal Amanna visits the Ulsoor outlet and meets with the brother duo that run the restaurant. He discusses the procurement of fresh seafood, the variety of curries on offer and also witnesses the making of two most popular fries, the Bangude and the Kane Fry.

He then sits down to a feast, tasting a bevy of coastal dishes, from a Pomfret Curry, Crab Masala, Khoobey Mootlien, Chicken Roce Curry and more!

GOURMET ON THE ROAD RATINGS

RAGI MANNI
the manni has a lush, creamy texture that takes over your palate! you taste the caramel notes of the jaggery. this mangalorean dessert resembles the Italian panacotta minus the cream. definitely a delicious way to end your meal here.
rs 60 (0.90 usd)
8/10

KHUBEY MOOTLIEN
this dish deserves attention when being savoured, especially when picking on the tiny yet sweet and mildly briny clam flesh. the rice dumpling has a sticky, slightly slimy texture that goes very well with the thick, velvety coconut based gravy. the flavour of the clams in this dish is reminiscent of the ocean.
rs 170 (2.40 usd)
8.5/10

CRAB MASALA
tossed in a semi-dry onion and tomato masala that complements the mildly sweet, flesh of this dotted sea crab don’t forget to suck on the crab meat!
rs 310 (4.30 usd)
8.5/10

POMFRET STEW CURRY
the spicing in this masala is mellow and refreshing and just right, allowing the flavours of the pristine, fresh pomfret to shine. this stew curry goes deliciously well with mangalore rice.
rs 480 (6.70 usd)
9/10

KANE TAWA FRY
this fish is as fresh as it gets! so delicates that the meat just flakes apart effortlessly. the pullimunchi masala gives off a warming note o f the byadgi chilli and also a slight tartness from vinegar. the fish has absorbed the masala, yet retains its unique flavour. be mindful of the tiny pin bones though!
rs 280. (4 usd)
9/10

BANGUDE FRY
the butterflied mackerel allows for the masala to penetrate the deep flavours of this fish. notwithstanding this, the mackerel asserts its strong flavour from the word go despite being fried in a spicy masala.
rs 120 (1.70 usd)
9/10

CHICKEN ROCE CURRY
a popular choice of chicken curry at mangalore pearl made with coconut milk, fried onions and gentle spices. best savoured with the soft, spongy sannas that disintegrate as it absorbs this flavourful curry. the chicken though, tastes better when in the company of the creamy curry.
rs 220. (3 usd)
8.5/10

PRAWN GHEE ROAST
soaking in oodles of ghee this is one of the best prawn ghee roasts i’ve tasted! the prawns are plump and fresh, being coated in all that roasted masala that does not overpower its sweet flavour. the neer dosa serves as the perfect combination to this dish. the beautiful balance of spice, toasty flavour notes of coconut oil, rich ghee and divine prawns will keep you coming back for this dish!
rs 295 (4.10 usd)
10/10

FRIED POTRADAY
this dish starts off as a rice cake steamed with spinach, coriander, cumin seeds and red chill that is then sliced, battered in a light spice mix and deep fried. it makes for an appetising start to a meal.
rs 120. (1.70 usd)
7.5/10

SOLKADI
this drink made of coconut milk, kokum juice, ginger, garlic and chilli certainly awakens the senses and the palate. a refresher with a bite.
rs 50 (0.70 usd)

Bangalore’s ‘Oldest’ SEAFOOD Spot, HOTEL FISHLAND | KONKANI, MANGALOREAN Fish, Prawn FRY, Crab CURRY

#Seafood #Bengaluru #GourmetOnTheRoad

Hotel Fishland, 38-year-old seafood restaurant in Bengaluru, specialising in Konkani and South Canara coastal cuisine. Opened in 1982. hotel fishland, gandhinagar, bengaluru, fishland bangalore, fishland gandhinagar bangalore, seafood thaali, seafood thali, special seafood thaali, banged fry, mackerel fry, kana curry, ladyfish curry, prawns fry, crab curry, denji curry, clams, marvai sukka, mangalorean cuisine, konkani cuisine, saraswat cuisine

Established in 1982, Hotel Fishland in Gandhinagar, Bengaluru is one of the city’s oldest dining spots to cater to a seafood craving. Specialising in Konkani and coastal Mangalorean cuisine, the most popular item here is the seafood thaali.

Food Lovers’ Editor, Kripal Amanna visits revisits this establishment and savours not just the special ‘limited’ seafood thaali, but a host of other delicacies like the crab curry, bangude (mackerel) fry and prawns masala amongst others. Enjoy!

Special Limited Fish Thaali
This thaali, complete with a fish curry, fish fry, vegetable of the day, rice, buttermilk and yoghurt had the potential to be a rather satisfying fish meal, especially given the fulsome flavours of the kaane curry. However, it was let down by the kingfish fry that although swathed in a spirited masala and crumb-fried, wasn't the epitome of freshness. Next time, I would order either a fish curry or the limited thaali that arrives minus the fry, but offers terrific value at at Rs. 180, and a fish fry separately.
Rs. 320 (usd 5.3)
7/10

Bangude Fry
This is what a fish fry should be all about. The mackerel was fresh, plump and juicy. Fried such that the masala formed a thick crust. You can taste the heat of the chilli and the tang of the tamarind in the masala, this combination of spicy and sour made for the perfect complement to the oily flavours of the mackerel.
Rs. 160 (usd 2.2)
10/10

Prawns Fry
You can taste the sweetness of the sea prawns notwithstanding the robust masala. The prawns are fresh, springy to the bite and the masala coating this crustacean is fried to a delightful crust. Order these for sure.
Rs. 295 (usd 4.1)
9/10

Marvai Sukka
The clams are wanting in their flavour. All that you taste is the masala, the clams barely make their presence felt.
Rs. 160 (usd 2.2)
6/10

Crab Masala
The crab is delicious, plump with briny-sweet flavoured flesh. Chew on the crab shell unabashedly to lap up every ounce of its goodness that also carries the flavour of the curry. The curry too has tones of the crab ‘sweetness’. Another winner here at Fishland.
Rs. 275 (usd 3.8)
9.5/10

This Humble FAMILY Eatery Is Serving Honestly-Priced, Delicious COASTAL MANGALORE Food | FISH N DISH

#mangaloreanfood #seafood #bangalore

family run mangalorean coastal restaurant, neighbourhood restaurant, jp nagar, south bengaluru, fish n dish, fresh seafood, fish fry, fish curry, prawn fry, prawn curry, prawn sukka, ghee roast, kane, lady fish rawa fry, mackerel tawa fry, silver fish curry, curry, spicy mangalorean curry, fish meal, fish thaali

Harish Shetty, a native of Puttur, and his wife, Prema, uprooted themselves from their life in Mangalore five years to move to Bengaluru with their only son, Shaman, for his higher education. To earn a livelihood, they set up a small eatery in a corner of the city, with absolutely no experience but compelled by necessity and their love for cooking the food of their native land. Despite all odds, their tiny shop, Fish N Dish, prospered modestly over the years. The current situation brought all that to nought as they lost their meagre staff, most of their business, and were forced to fend for themselves to stay afloat. Alerted by our viewers of their plight, I paid an impromptu visit to find the couple cooking in the kitchen, serving customers and also cleaning up after them, assisted by their son. The delicious homestyle Mangalorean food that I tasted fuelled by Harish and Prema Shetty’s motivation to provide for their son a better life inspired this episode. Hope you enjoy this one, please support them and neighbourhood eateries like these if you can.

Lady Fish Rawa Fry
A delicate crust conceals the lady fish, smeared with a gentle masala that’s seasoned to perfection. The fish is fresh and flakey, the perfect size to peel away at its flesh, definitely a fry to order when here
Rs. 200 (usd 2.7) for one fish
9/10

Prawn Sukka
The coconut is the perfect sponge to soak up the flavours of the masala and also the slight sweetness of the prawns. The coconut masala, toasted curry leaves, ginger garlic and green chilli combine supremely with the prawns that have been cooked to just the right texture.
Rs. 300 (usd 4.1)
9/10

Squid Ghee Roast
The ghee roast masala is warming and ‘kadak’ in its punch and laced with the generous ‘butteriness’ of ghee. Would order the ghee roast here again, but perhaps with fish or chicken.
Rs. 220 (usd 3)
8/10

Mackerel Fry (Green Masala)
You can taste the fresh herbaceousness of coriander combined with the zing of mint and the spicy heat of green chillies. It’s a masala that’s robust enough to take on the strong flavours of the mackerel.
Rs. 130 (usd 1.8) per fish
8/10

Mackerel Tava Fry (Red Masala)
A deep-coloured masala that greets you with its spicy punch and has seeped into the core of the fish.
Rs. 130 (usd 1.8) per fish
8.5/10

Fish Thaali
A complete meal that includes a mackerel curry, mackerel fry, some vegetable, pickle, rice and neer dosa, guaranteed to satisfy, taste-wise and also fill you up.
Rs. 150 (usd 2)
9/10

Silverfish Curry
A gentle curry with the creaminess of coconut milk and mild flavours of the fish, the fish is the sort that one can devour completely, bone and all. A traditional silver fish curry would also have a bit of tartness that I missed in this preparation.
Rs. 150 (usd 2)
7.5/10

Mackerel Pullimunchi
The curry is nice and thick, however to a Mangalorean, it may seem a trifle compromised on the chilli and tamarind punch that one would expect to find in a traditional Puli (sour) Munchi (chilli).
Rs. 150 (usd 2)
8/10

Happy Eating!

Childhood friends, Koushik, Sachin and Sanketh, grew up in Kundapur, fascinated by the teeming variety of marine produce brought in by boats to the fishing ports of South Canara. The boys found themselves pursuing engineering degrees in Bengaluru, yet dreaming of seafood. Upon completing their studies, the engineers returned to Kundapur, built a food truck, roped in a village cook, before driving back to Bengaluru to launch their ‘Mangalore in Bangalore’ sea food enterprise. I visit them on a rainy evening for an interesting chat, and return mighty impressed with the marine spread on offer, the un-compromised rustic flavour of most of the dishes that I taste, and their commitment to offering fresh seafood at honest prices. If Dakshina Kannada coastal fare is your thing, or you are a seafood lover, do look up this young but delicious venture. Hope you enjoy this episode; take care, stay safe and strong. Happy eating.

The prawn ghee roast is a South Canara delicacy that can take any meal to the next level.

South Canara has its share of seafood eateries, but then, there are some that have endeared themselves to diners over decades by virtue of being true to the traditions they follow. One such popular seafood stop is Hotel Mahalaxmi, in the fishing village of Malpe, about six kilometres from Udupi, where Mrs. Pushpavati Bangera, the matriarch of this family run restaurant that began as a tiny hut, has been cleaning the fish and preparing the masala for the fish curry and fry each day for the last 60 years. I catch up with her and her son, Vishwanath Bangera before I sit down to a satisfying fish thali meal.

Hope you enjoy this episode. Take care, stay safe and strong. Happy eating.

HOTEL THIMMAPPA, Udupi’s Most Popular FISH FRY & Meals | A 50-Year Tradition That Began In A Home

#seafood #fishfry #udupi

popular seafood restaurant, affordable seafood, fish meals served on banana leaf, affordable seafood, udupi, malpe road, south canara, mangalore, mangalorean food, fish thali, fish curry, fish fry, kane rava fry, lady fish, pomfret, prawns, crabs, disco fish, karnataka

50 years ago, Thimmappa and his wife set up three tables in a rented outhouse in Udupi that they called home, to earn a livelihood by serving a simple meal of fish fry, curry and rice. Over the years, the fish fry, slathered in a secret masala made by the couple, and their sons thereafter, gained favour with locals who would flock to this home that carried no name. Five years ago, his son, Sathish Kotian finally put up a nameboard as a tribute to his late father’s culinary legacy that has endured decades since the eatery’s modest beginnings. In this episode, I visit Hotel Thimmappa Fish Meals to chat with Kotian and also taste some of the seafood delicacies here. Hope you enjoy this one. Take care and stay safe.

Fish Meal
The fish meal is a simple affair here, there’s rice, a tasty curry made with small-sized, inexpensive fish, a vegetable for the day and some pickle. And to complete this, one picks from the selection of fish fry (charged extra) proffered by attendants who scurry between the tables and the kitchen. Whether one has a budget of under Rs. 100 or 300, one is assured of a satisfying fish meal at Thimmappa.
Rs 40 (usd 0.5)
8/10

Kane Rava Fry
This was a plump lady fish, the semolina forming the perfect crunchy crumb over a veil of perfectly spiced masala encasing the flakey delicate flesh of the fish. One of the best kane rava fry preparations that I have tasted.
Rs. 100 - 250 (usd 1.3 to 2.7) depending on size
10/10

Disco Fish
The perfect fish fry for those on a budget. The fish is meaty, it is mild in its flavours and readily embraces the vivacious strength of the masala.
Rs. 40 - 50 (usd 0.5 to 0.7) depending on size
8.5/10

Prawn Ghee Roast
The prawns are swathed in a robust masala, the flavour of the ghee complements the slight hint of sweetness in the prawns.
Rs. 200 (usd 2.7)
8.5/10

Fish Kebab
Kingfish deep fried in a spicy Koliwada batter, a touch of the Konkan coast in Udupi.
Rs. 200 (usd 2.7)
8/10

Pomfret Fry
The pomfret exemplifies the fish fry preparation at Hotel Thimmappa. Aided by the sizzling hot tawa and lashings of coconut oil, the fish has the perfect masala crust encasing its moist and meaty flesh. If you are lucky to find it on the fish fry tray, go for the biggest pomfret.
Rs. 200 - 300 (usd 2.7 to 4) depending on size
10/10

Prawn Pepper Fry
The pepper intensifies the sweetness of the prawns, and the toasted flavour of curry leaf lends a savoury note to the delightful crunch of this deep-fry.
Rs. 160 (usd 2.2) for a full portion, I tasted a sample portion of this dish.
9/10

Happy Eating!

Note: Get here early, the eatery tends to get quite busy, especially on weekends.

Make This AUTHENTIC MANGALOREAN FISH CURRY | Spicy Surmai, Pomfret, Rawas, Kane, Prawns Curry RECIPE

#Mangalorean #FishCurry #Recipe

Easy Fish Curry, Mangalorean Fish Curry, Fish Curry Rice, Indian Fish Curry, Seer Fish Curry, Pomfret Curry, Prawn Curry, Mangalore, Seafood, Kudla, Easy Recipe

The Mangalorean fish curry is the perfect balance of spice, heat and sour. In this recipe episode, we cook up a seer fish curry from scratch, including a vivacious masala that lends itself well to any mild-flavoured fish like pomfret, kingfish, ladyfish, or even prawns. Its beautiful bright reddish-orange hue comes from the combination of Kashmiri & Guntur chillies I prefer to use in this traditional preparation from namma Kudla. Traditionally, the curry is prepared atleast a couple of hours ahead of meal time, thereby allowing the fish to soak up the flavoursome masala. Served with steaming hot rice, this is a curry that pleases the soul! Enjoy!

Link to Rooster Masala episode

Ingredients to make Mangalorean Fish Curry
Serves 3 to 4

500 gm fish, marinated in ½ tsp each of turmeric and salt.

15 red chillies (I use a combination of Kashmiri & Guntur in the ratio 9:6)
1 tbsp coriander seeds
1 tsp cumin seeds
10 to 12 peppercorns
¼ tsp mustard seeds
12 to 15 fenugreek seeds I USED 15
A pinch of carom seeds (ajwain)
½ tsp turmeric powder
1 large onion, roughly chopped
10 cloves of garlic
½ inch ginger, roughl chopped
Tamarind, lime sized ball
5 tbsp grated coconut
400 ml water
Salt to taste

For the seasoning
½ medium sized onion
20 to 25 curry leaves
Coconut oil

Please refer to the video for the method.

TARAYI COASTAL CUISINE | This Family Eatery Is A Labour Of Love! Fish Thali, Ghee Roast, Crab Masala

#seafood #mangalorean #bengaluru

family eatery, st thomas town, east bangalore, new restaurant, coastal cuisine, fish thali, fish fry, pomfret, mackerel, fish fry, prawn ghee roast, crab masala, chicken curry, small business

Tarayi, a tiny three-table eatery in St. Thomas Town, East Bengaluru, was born of homemaker Freeda Ananth’s desire to share the culinary legacy of her late mother and to set up a small business of her own. So, with the support of her husband, Vijay Ananth, this soft-spoken lady ventured out as a restaurateur just a couple of months ago, and in a relatively short span of time has managed to make an impression on the neighbourhood with her rendition of Mangalorean-Kundapur fare laced with a touch of Kerala influence. I visited Tarayi to taste their limited but tasty homestyle offerings, and to also help share the word on this family enterprise that’s a true labour of love. Hope you enjoy this episode, take care, stay safe and happy eating!

Prawn Ghee Roast
This ghee roast masala exudes a slight sour twang followed by the warmth of the chilli and spices. The prawns are cooked just right, delicately ‘springy’ on the bite, swaddled in the grainy textured masala with the lushness of ghee.
Rs. 270 (usd 3.6)
9/10

Black Pomfret Fry
The masala is napped rather lightly on the fish, allowing for the pomfret to shine in its fresh flavours. The skin is cooked to a perfect crisp.
Rs. 250 (usd 3.3)
8.5/10

Seer Fry
Rs. 280 (usd 3.7)
8/10

Crab Masala
Loved the aromatic masala, onions, tomatoes and spices, soaked up by the plump, meaty sea crab. The sweet crab meat contrasts beautifully with the savoury notes of the masala. If you love crab, this is certainly a must-order when here.
Rs. 240 (usd 3.2)
10/10

Fish Thali
A satisfying thali, complete with modest portions of mackerel curry and fry, in addition to sambar, rasam, vegetables, boiled rice… perfect if you’re looking to savour Mangalorean fare on a budget.
Rs. 150 (usd 2)
8/10

Kheema Ball Curry
A pleasing curry, I found the meat ball a tad pasty and giving up the texture of the flour used to bind the mince together.
Rs. 120 (usd 1.6) for half portion
7/10

Chicken Curry
A homestyle curry, thin in its consistency but rich in the flavour of the masala. Goes well with the neer dosae.
7.5/10

Make Super Delicious KUNDAPUR GHEE ROAST At Home | Authentic CHICKEN/ PRAWN/ VEG Ghee Roast Recipe

#Kundapur #Chicken #GheeRoast

Ghee Roast, Chicken Ghee Roast, Prawn Ghee Roast, Veg Ghee Roast, Recipe, Shetty Lunch Home, Mangalore, Kundapur, Authentic Recipe, Karnataka, Ghee, Chilli, Chicken, Kundapur Masala, Kundapur Ghee Roast, Kundapur Chicken Ghee Roast, Ghee Roast Mangalorean Style, Ghee Roast Kundapur Style

One of my all-time favourite comfort foods is the Kundapur Ghee Roast. A dish born decades ago in a tiny eatery called Shetty Lunch Home in the then sleepy hamlet of Kundapur along the South Canara coastline. Over the years, this spicy preparation has conquered palates across the country and beyond. What gives this dish its soul is the roasted Kundapur Masala, that manifests itself in the spicy, tangy, robust flavours of this preparation. Over the years, I have tasted many ghee roasts and watched its making in illustrious kitchens, including Shetty Lunch Home. This recipe, my ode to the dish and its creators, is versatile enough to be made not only with chicken, the original chicken ghee roast, but also with prawns, paneer or any veggie of your choice. Enjoy, stay safe and happy cooking.

1 kg chicken or prawn or vegetable of your choice

For the marinade:
4 to 5 tbsp yoghurt
1 to 1 ½ tsp turmeric powder
2 tbsp chilli powder
1 to 2 tsp salt (to taste)
1 tsp lemon juice/ vinegar

For the Kundapur Masala
8 dried Guntur chillies
10 dried Byadgi chillies
2 Tsp peppercorns
1 tsp cumin seeds
1/2 tsp mustard seeds
1/2 tsp fenugreek seeds
2 tbsp coriander seeds
2 tbsp thick tamarind pulp
16 - 20 garlic cloves
Water as required

To cook:
6 to 8 tbsp ghee
20-30 nos curry leaves
Salt as required
1 tsp jaggery
1 tsp vinegar
A pinch of coriander powder

Machali Restaurant Mangalore :: Seafood Restaurant

Amazing #Manglorean Seafood Restaurant in #Khobar - ‘Machali Kingdom’ #seafood

After being told about this place by numerous followers and friends, I finally decided to try out @machaliksa in Khobar for lunch along with @ancel_bernard. We got there when there wasn’t much of a crowd but by the time we were done with lunch and about to leave, there were quite a few people waiting outside for a table.

@machaliksa

We had already made up our minds about what we were going to order thanks to the recommendations I received, so this is what we ordered.

1. ‘Ghee Prawn Roast’ - SR. 18
2. ‘King Fish Tawa’ - SR. 17
3. ‘Crab Masala’ - SR. 20
4. ‘Ardhak Fish Fry’ - SR. 15
5. ‘Ghee Rice Meals’ - SR. 9

The ‘Ghee Rice’ meals comes with sides of 2 different types of curry, mango pickle and raita and you can request for extra portions of rice which they do not charge for.

The seafood is exceptional and this Manglorean restaurant has something that is very unique and will definitely have me going back for more.

I am talking about the ‘Ghee Prawns Roast’, a spicy prawn fry cooked entirely with ghee. It is mouth-watering, spicy and rich with all the ghee that they use. Its goes amazingly well with the ghee rice which is why you shouldn’t order the normal rice. This is a must-try if you visit this place.

The ‘King Fish Tawa’ is also outstanding. It might look spicy but the masala is rendered down and a great accompaniment to the fish and rice. The fish has been fried to perfection and the flavours really stand out. We ordered 2 since I did’t want to share.

If you like crab, then the ‘Crab Masala’ is also a great choice. We would have ordered the Ghee Roast version but I didn’t want to have too much Ghee. I will definitely give that version on my next visit.

The restaurant isn’t great for families but they do have partitions if you would like to dine-in.
