Hello people, this is one of those outings where chickenlover gave chicken a miss and went full attack mode on the fish.
Well I already knew that if you have got to have some amazing sea food, Mahesh lunch home is the place.... well I reached there around 8:45 pm and as I had read in the earlier reviews got a table in the open section and it was such a blissful experience.... this restaurant is located right next to the noisy Juhu Tara Road... but the 1st floor open terrace sitting arrangement is just perfect makes you forget that you are sitting in Mumbai....
Well there there were 4 of us so two of my buddies decided to go for beer. I wanted to have an awesome fish soup which one of my friends selected. It was Tom Kha Kai soup (Fish and coconut milk) and mind you this is one of the best soups ever... If you are going there and want to have a soup just go for Tom Kha Kai soup.
Then we wanted to order some starters so we were confused as to which one should we go for, The manager suggested we go for seafood platter and we were like okay but we were in for a shock when we came to know that the platter costed Rs 2400... that is just too much for a starter. We tried speaking to him again that can he cancel the order so that we can order some starters that we wanted to try but he said it isn't possible because the fish were already in the Tandoor.... well so we were left with no choice but to go for the seafood platter.
Though it turned out to be blessing in disguise as the seafood platter was just brilliant to completely feed four of us very hungry men... It consisted of crab,clam,squid,tiger prawns, pomfret, and many other fishes... It was a good good experience had crabs,clams,squid for the first time in my life so the experience was worth it... Though at the end all our stomachs felt like some aquarium with so many varieties of fishes.
But I had just the perfect solution in mind "SOL KADI" . This is a must have at the end of your food to just settle things down the stomach. I would call this a Malvani Buttermilk ( Kokum+coconut milk) it has a nice tangy taste . We also did taste some Neer dosas, Appam and Rassam it was fine as I am not too fond of Rassam.
Would have given four stars but the pricing made me reduce that 1 star. This was the most expensive dinner I have had till date .
It cost us close to 1K per head ( just food) with drinks it was around 1.3K
So if you want to have some quality sea food this is the place to go, but be ready to burn a big hole in your pockets :)
