I have been a regular at Mahesh, and the food is always great here.
Only warning I will give, beware of the over-selling tricks they use. This has happened on two occasions with me.
Try ordering a crab or a regular lobster dish from the fixed price menu - a standard reply will come - Today the regular size lobster or crabs are not in stock, and will be only served 'AS PER SIZE' now these three words I dread on any menu card. Well now you will have a fashion parade of well-trained waiters with their wares - large , LIVE crabs and lobsters. You all get excited - there will be some foriegners on the next tables saying their wow's and taking pictures and in the process ordering.
Even I ended up ordering the 'AS PER SIZE' dish.
On my way out I was waiting for the valet to bring my car, I was seeing the crabs on display and asked the manager outside if I could order a regular Crab dish as a take-away and he promptly said yes, I ordered one regular crab dish at a regular price, and walked out feeling cheated by the Over-selling tricks Mahesh Lunch Home used. They don't need to do this, or else they will spoil their reputation.
I also have got the name of their Owner and want to talk to him about this, but he never comes online.,....
Anyway, this is just a warning, and all burrpers should raise this issue if you come across a similar treatment. Least that will happen they will get the message and stop these dubious ways of over-selling.
Over all eating experience at Mahesh - EXCELLENT

A bit of posh version than the fort one. Stick to the time tested manglorean stuff, bombil, crabs & sea food, though the sukka chicken is also good. Do not repeat NOT try the useless chinese & other mixture stuff. Lovely service, good drinks, but long waiting after 9.30 pm. However except during monsoon, can wait outside. With the Pay & Park outside, I understand that one picks up the beer/drink & has it in the car whilst waiting for the nos to be called, never tried it though & in particular now with the check going on round the corner:)

If the coastal strip of India along the west boasts of its seafood cuisine then Mahesh Lunch Home is one of the very few Bombay restaurants that can boast of having specialised in cooking it.
You an extensive variety to choose from thier exquisite menu. From the Gassis, the fish fry to sol kadi and neer dosa you get to relish the fabulous spices that go into the making of these exotic tastes.
The moolah you shed here is indeed worth the food and service. It may come to Rs.500 - 700 per person. If you have visitors or house guests, this is one diner you have to invite them to.
USP: Fried Bombay Duck
Prawn Gassi
Squids/prawns in butter, garlic, pepper
Lobster
Rawas Gassi
Crabs
P.S: You get beer too!
