Mahesh Lunch Home

The ceiling may be too low and the tables too close together, but this seafood restaurant should not be missed if you love fish -- it's one of Mumbai's best restaurants, consistently dishing out exceptional specialties. Everything is incredibly fresh, but favorites include surmai fry, pomfret curry, and tandoori pomfret -- all outstanding. The latter (listed as a starter, but available as a main) is served flawlessly moist; eaten with butter naan, it provides a heavenly gastronomic experience. Also try the scrumptious prawns Koliwada, crab tandoori, pomfret in green masala, or any of the fish curries or gassis, all first-rate. (Note that gassi refers to the thick, spicy, coconut-based Manglorean curry, while the "curries" on the menu are a thinner version of the same.) Mahesh also serves meat, chicken, and Chinese dishes, but only the misguided would come here for any of that.
