Konkan Café

Konkan Café Review

Seafood from the Konkan coast (which stretches from Maharashtra south through Goa to Mangalore, Karnataka) is extraordinarily popular in Mumbai, but for years it was only available in no-frills "lunch homes" in the business district. But here you can get fish-curry rice-plate lunches in luxurious surroundings. Although crummy taverns and souped-up lunch homes may very well do it better, chef Ananda Solomon's food is tasty, and the coastal-home feel is appealing. Opt for the fried fish, sukha chicken (dry masala chicken), pepper chicken, red masala clams, appams (steamed dosas) steamed pomfret, coastal maida (white-flour) paratha, or the vegetarian thali.
