After a delicious lunch that I had from Sea Shell Neil, I wanted to visit Sea Shell Port Blair. It was less than five minutes from where I stayed. The restaurant was empty when I dropped by around 7 p.m. The ambiance of the restaurant was calm and peaceful. The interiors were simple yet elegant. As soon as I was seated, the waiter lit the candle on the table. That set the right tone for my evening and meal. My order was for a Crispy Chili Baby Corn, Vegetable Sizzler, and Lemon Water. The Crispy Chili Baby Corn was indeed crispy with its texture, and it was the perfect start for the meal. It tasted good without any sauces or dips. A Sizzler is a complete meal by itself with fries, vegetables, rice along with a sauce or gravy. It does take time to prepare all the ingredients for it. The vegetables like the carrots, baby corn, cauliflower were crunchy, and the green peas were soft. The fries were crispy on the outside, and soft on the inside. Though I was finding it difficult to finish the whole Sizzler, I enjoyed every spoon of it. The sweet Lemon Water was refreshing after a long day, and it went well with my spicy meal. Their service was swift. Their staff was courteous throughout the service. The appetizer reached my table under 10 minutes, and the main course took around 15-20 minutes. Pricing of the dishes on their diverse menu is expensive. I'd recommend this restaurant to anyone who's looking for some delicious food...

Despite multiple requests for updates on the wait time, you'll find yourself twiddling your thumbs for an hour or more. This is especially frustrating when you consider that you were in a hurry and needed to catch a ferry.
When your food finally arrives, it's a far cry from what you expected. The egg biryani, which should have been a simple dish to prepare, was a letdown. And the salad? Well, let's just say that you'll be left wishing that the restaurant had bothered to invest in a few fresh vegetables.
The staff, who appear to have been up for days and running on nothing but caffeine, are slow and unenthusiastic. They seem to have no sense of urgency and provide service that can only be described as lackadaisical. Despite all this, the prices are reasonable, which just adds insult to injury.
In conclusion, if you're looking for a dining experience that will leave you feeling frustrated, unsatisfied, and longing for your own kitchen, then Salt & Pepper is the restaurant for you. But, if you value your time and expect quality food and service, you might want to...

And the finest thing happen today was I met the sweet and humble head chef UN MALLICK we spoke a bit he spoke about his journey his achievements as being a chef to a head chef. Beautiful person and character. But whether I go to samsara, neil, Bonova and salt and pepper I usually find myself With some problems when I am in the marine hill establishment I had some main course left so I taught of getting a romali roti. But I was served phulka forcibly I had to agree because the reason given by the manager of the resturant was its very crowded at amaya. Brother what do you expect on a Sunday night at sea shell its always crowded upstairs that's why I prefer salt and pepper. Crowd is no reason to tell me that the rumali roti won't happen..kudos to the female staff and the head chef for forgetting these small issues and making...
