It was my first time dining at Konkan Express. I had ordered surmai and pomphret thali. The food was very good. It was not cold. The fish was tasty and fresh. I also ordered bangda fry. What I wondered about was that whether will it be fresh? And definitely it was. It was tasty crunchy and hot. The pomfret in the thali was big, fresh and fried in such a way that the meat inside was juicy, soft and warm. The curry was flavourful and thick and was yummy with warm chapatis. The quantity was very well sufficient for thali. If you order bangda fry, you will get two full fish. The fried surmai piece was big in surmai thali and was neatly fried in rawa making it crunchy on outside and warm inside. The curry piece was nicely absorbed in curry and cooked well. The rice quantity you might think it to be a little less, but I found it sufficient enough as the thali consists of three normal sized chapatis. They also provide onions and lemon. Last but not the least, solkadi was like cheery on top. Drinking it was soothing and gave a feeling of fulfillment. You will enjoy here if you come to Konkan Express! Four...
Read moreThere are several places serving sea food in Pune; but my choice for a stomach-full tasty meal would undoubtedly be Konkan Express opposite Kothand Stand. I have tried almost all types of fish here - Prawns, Bangda, Bombil, Surmai, Pomfret, even Crab. The fish thali comes with a fry fish, fish curry, solkadhi, rice, chutney, and most important Tandalachi Bhakri (Rice flour Bhakri). The location is very much accessible and you can get a parking space for two or four wheelers somewhere in the lane. The seating arrangement is not very posh, but serves well for a family dinner. I especially like the wallpaper inside, showing the coastal photographs with fish, market, boats and Konkani people. That gives you a feeling of having fish somewhere in the Konkan area. The food is served hot and the cutlery reminds you of old times. Overall, it is a great place for family as well as Individual dining. Do try it if you...
