Pratap Lunch Home — Restaurant in Mumbai

See food & eat Seafood !!

Being a Goan I am always hungry and looking out for some awesome seafood in the city and let me warn you I like my seafood top notch.

Mumbai has some great seafood serving restaurants but let me be frank I don’t enjoy them much due to my peculiar Goan Seafood taste!!

Fortunately I came across this little restaurant settled in the the streets of Fort and I thought of giving it a try!

The ambience is really good, something that even a vegeterian person would enjoy (Apparently it doesn’t smell fishy hence) about 12-14 tables. The service is really good with the staff really helpful and smiling.

Coming to the food: They have a wide variety of seafood dishes catering to the local Konkan Cuisine to the Chinese cuisine. We started off with the:

•KING PRAWN CHILLI FRY: This was a good starter for a prawns lover. This had huge king sized prawns fried till golden fry and added in a chilli tangy gravy, not too spicy and not even too oily. The taste was really good as it gave a good spicy kick and I would highly recommend this starter! Rating-4.5/5

•KALIMIRI TANDOORI POMFRET: This was a beauty. A whole pomfret in tandoori style. This was cooked very perfectly. Marinated in the right amount of pepper and added with a touch of cheese. This was a mouthful bliss. (P..S: I still salivate thinking about it). Also don’t forget the green chutney served with the dish! Rating-5/5

•FISH TIKKA (boneless): The base fish was rawas which is basically a fresh water fish. The fish was marinated in some really good Tikka spices. Loved how it tasted and how well it was done. Also the fish was very tender and it literally melted in the mouth. Another amazing dish! Rating-5/5

•TAWA SURMAI: A big piece(trust me it was very big) of surmai (kingfish) is tawa Fried with some green masala and fried to perfection. The fish had a really good taste. Though the marination could have been better but still it tasted good! Rating-4/5

•NEER DOSA AND FISH CURRY: Paper thin dosas are served with this special fish curry. We were really full after all those starters so we could have just one dosa and some fish curry. This was very tasty and had the original Konkan curry and it gave a spicy kick to our taste buds!!

•MALAI KULFI: A perfect way to end a good seafood lunch! The kulfi was perfect in every sense. Not too sweet not to creamy yet tasty! Rating-5/5

ETC’s FINAL VERDICT: Overall it was an amazing place to try some amazing and mouthwatering Seafood. Also it is a good place for a vegetarian as you don’t get any bad fish odour there. Also service is good and most importantly the seafood has a good taste and is prepared well!!

Till then Keep Eating,Keep Travelling and...

I finally had a chance to visit this place. Had heard a lot about the place and as a Seafood fanatic I wanted to visit this restaurant soon. This restaurant is situated in the heart of south mumbai and is easily accessible from churchgate or cst. Entering the place the ambience is just perfect. It has nice wall paintings of fishes and you just know that you are within a Seafood Paradise.

Started off with Fish Tikka Kalimiri & Sarso. The fish was so perfectly cooked and the masala was just perfect.

Then I tried the King Prawns Chilli Roast and i was just amazed on how tasty the prawns were and how well they were cooked, not overcooked and perfectly roasted in a chilli based masala.

Next on the menu was Chicken Tikka Kadipata. On a serious note I was skeptical how would a chicken dish would be in a place which specialised in seafood. But they proved me wrong it was so good that I ended up ordering more chicken based dishes.

Thinking of moving directly towards the main I thought that i definitely need to try the fish fry. And there It was in a platter in front of my eyes. The infamous Bombil(Bombay Duck) Fry and i have just one word for it.. AWESOME.. Its a must try and pratap doesn't fail to deliver with the quality of the fish.

I moved on to trying the chicken achari masala with steam rice. And it gave me that mangalorean kick. Hot steam rice with the tanginess of the achari masala with the soft delicious chicken pieces.

Ended my meal with my favourite, caramel custard. And I have just one say. This place doesn't disappoint at all. I just loved the Caramel custard there.it was a perfect end to my meal. I dint want to try anything else and change the mood that the Caramel custard had created.

I would truly recommend every dish that i've had. The captain also helps you well in deciding what you would like to have. This place is a must visit for all...
