All seafood connoisseurs, raise your hands, please! If you have been living in Mumbai for quite some time, and one of your very reasons to like the city is the lip-smacking Konkani food options available–we feel you, boss! From crispy and crackling Bombil fries to crab made in authentic pulimunchi style, Mumbai serves you some of the best variations of seafood ever. Add to that, a heavenly glass of Sol Kadhi without which no Konkani meal is complete. The perfect mix of coconut milk and kokum churned into a healthy digestive drink is an absolute fave amongst many. So, if you have been craving for some really good coastal food, head to these top five places in Mumbai to satiate your taste buds.
1. Sion Lunch Home
Tucked in one of the busiest junctions of the city, Sion Lunch Home is every Mumbaikar’s favourite and why not? With zero compromises on taste, it serves some delectable seafood at the most reasonable rates. Their crab pulimunchi is to die for, and guess what? It’s just Rs 311. Beat that! Order a plate of neer dosa to go with it.
2. Chaitanya
You have had chicken lollipops, but what about crab lollipops? Well, to know how amazing they taste, you need to pop a few. Popular for its shark masala and crab lollipops, this tiny 10-seater and cozy home-like restaurant in Dadar serves some great Malvani food. If you are a sucker for spicy home-made food, then you should definitely try this place out. Best part? Their cost for two is just Rs 700.
3. Jai Hind Lunch Home
Known for its fish tikka and extremely well-made neer dosa and prawn pulimunchi, this is perhaps the busiest seafood restaurant in town. Especially, during lunch hours. It’s hard to find a seat, and you’ll end up waiting in the long queue for a good 30 minutes at least. But trust us, it’s worth the wait. Also, their Sol Kadhi is a hit.
4. Highway Gomantak
This two-decade-old seafood restaurant is known for its seafood thalis. Kolambi suke thali, pomfret curry thali, tisrya masala thali, and crab masala thali are just a few examples of their delectable dishes. Their simple and home-style cooking is what makes them stand out.
