Harish Bar and Restaurant seems to be one of those hidden gems in Mumbai that has its own loyal, quiet middle aged following. I suppose its target segment isn't your average 25 year old blogger who will rave about the place after a sumptuous sea food meal there.
I discovered Harish on Burrp! just a day after I happened to notice it on my way to Irla market. I took the review seriously, and the next time I happened to be there I ordered a tawa fried surmai fish, and a chicken fried rice to go.
The fish was truly delectable, and the slice was unbelievably huge - almost ten inches in length - all for a cool 90 bucks. The thing about sea food is sourcing. Sourcing good quality fish is 90% of the job - the preparation is actually quite elementary. Harish certainly seems to be sourcing his stuff from a good place.. :)
Verdict: Excellent place for take away sea food. Unbelievably cheap by Mumbai standards. Slighlty shady ambience. The guy clearly needs MARKETING!!
