And I mean it! Absolutely love the place.... To avoid "crowd and sorry it’s over” scene... reached there for lunch at around 12.30pm...on the 31st Dec..
Began with soothing Sol Kadhi.. an appetizer drink made of Kokum juice and coconut milk garnished with fresh coriander leaves..
Tandoori Pomfret :- Fish was FRESH , grilled perfectly, the masala is so tasty and chatpata that u cant stop from coming back for more...
1 serving is good for two pl (excluding the head of the fish, which i personally don’t like. ...)
Chapatti: - Soft, almost homemade taste.
Mutton Chaap: - It’s a Gravy dish with 2 huge Mutton Chaaps ... have the gravy with steam rice...... YUMMMMM
DUM GOSHT BIRYANI: - Arrived in a covered sealed clay pot..... Out of the world taste... Fragrant basmati rice....with potato pcs and soft, succulent, tender mutton pcs.. and not too spicy masala , covered with plain rice and fried onion ( birist) ...
Accompanied with green color sweet & sour onion tomato raita . {If u order takeaway it comes along with the clay pot …..which can be reused for making some nice thick kool dahi….}
Malai Kulfi :- is good but not lke the Parsi Dairy Kulfi what they used to serve earlier

After a long gap of nearly 8 years visited the place again. Nothing has changed, the same lovely personalized service, fantastic bombil, other fish varieties & whatever you can eat......

I can honestly say that this place has made me a seafood lover! The food is absolutely mouth watering.
Try the tisriya koshumbir, surmai fry and the special prawns curry.
The service is absolutely perfect.
In fact the service at gajalee is a benchmark for other restaurants.

I have been to this much frequented place twice in the last 3 weeks and both the times i tried the Tiger Prawns.
The price is as per catch and can be in the range of 300 to 500 per piece as per the size. Order them to be Tandoor roasted and they come out on the table ina nice golden brown colour. The marinated spcies rubbed genrously on the prawns has already seeped in to the prawn and each bite is a bliss.
Sol kadhi is as good as home made. Fish is the only item I recommend here. If you are ganged up with a meat lover then offer him soem chicken, but I am sure he has eaten better chicken or Mutton in many other places. So heas to content with only filling up his stomach while you all will die for the coastal ffod to be offered.
Service is good. And if you know the Manager there (Like I do) then getting a nice place will be easy.
So next time you crave for a Prawn or some good pomphret, head to Gajalee.

i sometimes wander in just for the bombil...feast for the gods it is! the place is mid-range to slightly above average when it comes to burning a hole in your pocket but the food makes for it. the thalis are great, and i always loved thali's so that figures. their tandoori pomfret is apparently very popular but i don't get what the fuss is about. it's good, but if i had to pick a signature dish for them, their bombil is it.
i'll put my money where my mouth is and say they serve some of the best sea-food in town at the price. my favorite for seafood
