Malhaar Restaurant and Bar — Restaurant in Mumbai

Nostalgia for the place and the love for sea food! Ambience - The place has transformed from a shady bar to a classy place with great ambience. The new colors give a very happy feeling to the place. Food - I have been going to the place for the past 10 years, even before writing reviews was not a thing. Frankly the restaurant was not that impressive but in the past year they have undergone a major reform and ohh boy they nailed it! Malhaar has entered the scene as a sea food specialist and with a bang. The food is simply great! We were served by the Shrimp Man, who has been working at the place for 16 years now. I would suggest to go with what he suggests as the menu is pretty diverse with a lot of cuisines. Service - They have a good staff and service will be quick with the food. The bar service is slow for the cocktails so order well in advance for the next round. Recommendation - I am a hardcore non vegetarian and a sea food lover. The picks of the day were 1. The crab meat soup 🌶. 2. Assorted ravas fry. (Would suggest to go for the surmai instead) 3. Prawns fry in barbeque sauce. 4. Prawns ghee roast with Neer Dosa. Value for money - PAISA WASOOL in capital letters. Go with your buddies and your family, you will...

I found their Rawas Tandoori truly impressive. The upstairs area accommodates a diverse crowd—boisterous men discussing their work day over drinks with papad and fried fish, alongside families that one would expect in such a spacious restaurant. Despite some peculiar quotes adorning the walls about the joys of eating and the benefits of consuming fish, the overall dining experience here is delightful. The Pomfret Pulimunchi delivered a flavorful punch, complementing the Near Dosas perfectly. While the Bombils exhibited a satisfying crisp texture, I couldn't help but lament their flattened appearance. Personally, I prefer Bombils unflattened, intact, and with a bit of soft flesh, unlike the flattened Bombil fritters that have unfortunately become commonplace in many seafood establishments. Despite this, I thoroughly enjoyed my meal and the excellent service, and I wholeheartedly recommend this place to everyone. I look forward to returning soon for more delectable seafood. The discovery of new culinary delights in my city always...

Went there for a birthday dinner of a family member.

We asked the Sikh Manager present there for suggestions in starters section and he was spot on with them He served us with Prawns Naked Fry which was really good with prawns tossed in Chilli Paste with a hint of lime and curry leaves. Next he suggested was Pepper Chicken Fry which I thought would be dry chicken which is the way it is prepared traditionally but rather they were small Chunks of chicken cut and coated with Batter and then fried with green chillies and curry leaves. It was a unique dish and was really tasty.

Next we tried some chicken slice with had very light Green Chilli batter and the chicken was succulent and really soft. It was the cherry on top.

We ordered Prawns Malvani Biryani for main course and Butter Naan and Chicken Birista. The biryani tasted really good but the gravy wasn't that great.

Overall the Manager was spot on with his suggestions except the last main course. The restaurant is small and cozy and the washroom is really...
