My wife and I went for lunch...our 22nd marriage anniversary. Ordered seafood thali and sol kadi....absolutely mind blowing food. Loved all the preparations including prawns curry, makeral curry, mussels and crab curry....these go very well with brown rice. Just the right spice and tanginess. Also packed surmai ghashi, makeral ghashi and crab ghashi....everyone loved it at home as well. Definitely will visit again and highly recommend this place for all seafood lovers. Team is very courteous and takes care of the smallest of things...our server came back after keeping the thali to just change the direction of thali to make it more convenient for me to eat. Loved the gesture!!
It was a great experience and for people who loves seafood it is a must try. Calamari crunch was not good at all it had plenty and plenty of garlic's and it doesn't taste that great because of garlic but main course Malabar lady fish curry was good. Overall place is pretty old but well maintained staff was polite and courteous.
It's a very famous seafood outlet in Mumbai and now they have branch in Bangalore's Richmond road as well. They have a small live counter too choose your sea foods from. We tried tandoori pomfret which was actually big, well cooked & delicious. We also had their Manchow soup which was as usual. We had Prawns ghee roast & bhuna gosht with neer dosa, appam & tandoori roti for main course. Well we simply loved their bhuna gosht which was tender & perfectly cooked. Their prawn ghee roast was a bit okies, but tasted good with neer dosa. Overall a good place with perfectly cooked food. Definitely a goto place for seafood lovers. Their Lobster & crabs from their live counter are definitely in my list to try out next time.
We had our lunch at Mahesh Lunch Home and it was a yummy experience. Food here is delicious and of good quality. They have a wide variety of sea food and the most amazing taste. Would love to visit this place again and again.

We had made up our mind about having prawns – so we ordered couple of plates of Mangalorean Prawns Sukka and Prawns Koliwada for starters.
The highlight of Prawns Sukka (meaning dry) was definitely the quality of the jumbo prawns – fresh and succulent, it was a match made in heaven with the coconut base, complimented with the hint of curry leaves. The curry leaf taste was not overdone which made the prawns carry the flavor of Mangalorean spices in itself. Spicy yes, but not too hot. Taste? – Awesome!
In contrast, Prawns Koliwada reminded me the taste of good old “peyanji” (onion fritters) but with prawns inside it. While I liked it, my other colleagues found it pale compared to the best dish they already had above. To me, this will be a perfect companion to a glass of whiskey on a rainy day.
Interesting thing is the name “Koliwada” sounds bit Maharashtrian, so was wondering if this was a fusion of the worlds. An internet search tells me that this originated from a fisherman’s village named Sion Koliwada near Mumbai settled with North Indian immigrants.
Moving to mains
We were pretty full with the starters itself but we had Chicken Ghee Roast in our minds. This is an another signature Mangalorean dish, much heard off and so we ordered Appam and Lacha Paratha with go with this.
So how best can I describe this? Red hot, full of ghee roasted spices with succulent pieces of chicken in it. And yes, the taste and after-taste of ghee, not over the top but a nice lingering feel. While we had this with both appam and lachha paratha, I will recommend to try with Appam. One plate will suffice for 2-3 people, if supplemented with other dishes.
Pocket pinch
Well, it’s bit on the higher side. For 2 people, you can expect spending up to INR 1200/- without alcohol. Make sure you don’t over order. We overestimated and had one extra plate of Chicken Ghee Roast, almost untouched.
Time for feedback
Let’s forget the pocket pinch for a while.
Taste-wise, this was pretty nice, specially the Prawns Sukka.
Quantity served in a dish was also sufficient.
Staff response was prompt. So I was happy with the experience.
Now considering the pocket pinch and though it’s bit on the higher side, I will still recommend this place to anyone, willing to experiment true-blue Mangalorean cuisine.
Not a very fancy name, but quiet famous in the city for their authentic seafood delicacy. Realised after visiting that celebrities hang out here very often for this lip smacking seafood joint.
I absolutely loved the thali, portion, options, taste, perfect spice & very courteous staff.
Satisfaction level - 💯
4 stars because poor lighting condition inside and conjusted seating on top.
5/5 for food. No complaints.
Must try the neer dosa and chicken ghee roast. Quiet pricy but it's okay once a while to dig in here as the food over powered the cost.
Located on the first floor of the Cears Plaza on Residency Road, Mahesh Lunch Home is another outlet of the legendary one famous for its seafood variants in Mumbai!
I visited this place on a Tuesday evening to have dinner with few of my friends. We started with the crab soup which was a perfect start for the night ahead.
In the seafood starter section, they had numerous options to try but my most favourite were the Bombay duck which I tried for the first time ever and basa tawa.
For the main course, we started with some appam and ghee roast chicken, do try this combination whenever you are here, I bet you are going to love it. Next came the Mallipuram chicken which tasted amazing with the Neer dosa. Then we had the Vijayawada fish curry, pair it with the boiled rice and you won't regret eating it a bit.
I guess this was the first place where I loved the main course more than the starters!
Ending our dinner with the desserts, we had the tender coconut paysam which was chilled and yummy.

A very well known restaurant in Mumbai having several branches across the city in Mumbai. It's been more than half a decade since Mahesh lunch home which brings in with their authentic coastal cuisine of Karnataka in Bengaluru.

🇦The ambience of the restaurant is good. They are simple and tidy.
🇸Service at the restaurant is good too. They are courteous. The supervisor of the place made sure that there no hassle while serving.
🇫🍽️What is ate ❓
🍹 Sydney sunset ➡️ It was a nice mixture of orange, pineapple and cranberry. The infusion of these tasted good.
🍵 Crab soup ➡️ Crab soup was pretty good. The boiled crab which were generously spread across the soup. I was also mesmerised with the quantity which was served too.
🍥Basa tawa ➡️ The basa tawa was one of the best starters that was provided. It was soft and delicate.
🍗 Chicken ghee roast ➡️ The ever soft chicken ghee roast, that reminds of the fresh aroma of ghee. It is a must when you visit any Mangalorean cuisine restaurant. The chicken ghee roast with the appam was a good combination.
🐙 Squids ➡️ A plate full of well cooked squids, which had the right spices at the right place. They were served in large quantity and felt were value of money.
🍤Prawns ➡️ The skewered prawn fry tasted good. It was loaded with masala and cooked well.
🍛Prawns gassi and Vijayawada curry ➡️ I loved both the curries. The combination of these curries along with appam, neer dose and boiled rice were the best. The curries were soft and looked tempting.
🍧Tender coconut paysam ➡️ It was a simple dessert prepared with coconut milk. It was tempting even though our stomach was full we always had some space left to taste them.
All in all Mahesh lunch home which is already one of the big names in Mumbai surely tick all the right boxes and provide one of the best coastal cuisine experience. Parking is mostly not an issue since there is ample parking space available inside the complex.

Mahesh Lunch Home serves amazing coastal curries and starters. Situated in Residency Road, this restaurant has dim lights and wooden tables which makes this an apt place to enjoy your dinner or lunch quietly.
This place has stuck to its roots by providing authentic coastal and konkani dishes. The service was good. The staff members were courteous and helpful. The service took a lot of time for everything but the main course was worth the wait.
Coming to the eating experience, we just loved the main course. It was absolutely fantastic!
However, the drinks were not upto the mark and it needs a lot of improvement. The starters were good though and so were some of the desserts.
The dishes I personally liked are:
Starters:
Surmai Tawa Fry
Chicken Lasooni Kebab
Green Chilli Pepper Prawns
Main course:
Prawns Gaasi
Chicken Ghee Roast
Chicken Mallipuram
Desserts:
Gulab Jamun
Food- 4.5/5
Drinks- 3/5
Service- 4/5
OVERALL- 4/5
My verdict: If you love to try authentic cuisines without thinking about the added value (drinks, service, etc.) and just emphasise on food, Mahesh Lunch Home would certainly impress you with their unique set of flavours!
A MUST TRY FOR THEIR FABULOUS MAIN COURSE!

I got to visit this place with a small group of friends. I expected authentic mangalorean konkani cuisine but the set menu here features everything from chinese to tandoori and even andhra. Slightly disappointed with the set menu option.
Here is what we got to taste
Lava Flow Mocktail Okay
crab soup was okay
mixed seafood soup was spicy
Both the soups were chinese style
Surmai tikka was little dry
Chicken Sukka was perfect
Chicken Ghee roast was not good
Chilli Garlic Prawns was very bland no flavour
Kane Rawa Fry was excellent
Chicken korma excellent
Vijayawada Fish curry must try excellent
Boiled rice must try with fish curry
Regular rice with chicken korma
Appams were okay
Neer Dosas must try
Gulab Jamun Excellent
Elaneer Payasam Excellent
Kulfi Excellent
The curries were next level, truly enjoyed with appams and rice. Overall we enjoyed majority of dishes. The staff were friendly and treated us to good food. My picks from the entire menu were chicken curry, fish curry, chicken sukka, kane fish fry and kulfi.
Today marked our third visit to Mahesh Lunch House.
Started our meal with delightful Crab Meat Soup. The Mahesh Lunch House special Basa fish appetizer was somewhat average this time, though we thoroughly enjoyed it during our previous visit.
The real star of the meal was the Squid and Prawns Ghee Roast, which consistently delivers an amazing taste. While we haven't tried Mangalore ghee roasts elsewhere for comparison, this one stands out for its rich flavor.Pairing the ghee roasts with Neer Dosa is always a wise choice, as the neer dosa's neutral taste allowed the ghee roast gravy to shine.
Mahesh Lunch House continues to be a go-to place for its flavourful Mangalore dishes. 😊
I Googled "fish meal for lunch" and discovered Mahesh Lunch Home.
I ordered Fish Meals Combo and I asked them to fry the fish without coating it in rawa, and they prepared it just the way I wanted. The taste was incredibly delicious, especially the fish fry without rawa. Give it a try; you won't be disappointed.
The food, taste, and quantity are all excellent, though it is a bit pricey. But it's definitely worth it for the delicious taste.
The best place to get fresh sea food.. it's a little expensive..but worth it .. veg food 2as not great ..it's a busy place yet very quick service. Polite staff
It is a great place if you are a seafood enthusiast. Ambiance is quite warm and beautiful. The hospitality of the staff is really good. A
Food we had here:
Crab Varathul- Must try
Vijaywada Prawn curry - Great ( They provide curry Tasters so it is easier to choose before ordering)
Neer Dosa- good
Surmai Tawa Fry- good
Solkadhi- Great
Ghee rice- okay
Overall, it is a lovely place for sea food lovers. It's a bit expensive, but the taste is worth it.
One of my most favourite restaurants in recent times, the food here is over the top and the variety of cuisine that they serve is just amazing. If you visit here do ask for curry tasting and try out the various delicious curries that they serve for free and choose the one you like the most! Coconut payasam is a must try here. Also pulimunchi and tandoori fish are the best in seafood! We had ordered chicken kadipatta but didn’t really like it. Service is great and there’s waiting of min 10 mins during weekdays n 20-30 mins during weekends even if you book the table during peak hours
Fresh food loved the concept. Live fish to choose from. They have 8 different types of Indian curries to choose from. They are especially known for seafood. We loved the carb in Kerala Curry. The staff were so polite and service was quick. Both indoor and outdoor seating is warm and cozy. Located at a prime location on 100 feet road Indranagar.
Been here on a Sunday evening with my friends & I must say this place was packed during the prime hour. The place was very noisy due to the kids at the other tables.
We had ordered starters like special prawns, special tawa fish fry, chicken & mutton ghee roast along with neer dosas. The prawns starter was good except the fact the prawns weren't fresh. On the other hand, the tawa fish fry were delicious. The chicken & mutton ghee roast were delectable & were perfect for neer dosa. The chicken korma curry looked similar to the Thai green curry and was way better than the latter. Their special prawns biriyani was okay & nothing much to complain about.
Have visited Mahesh Lunch Home quite a few times and I must say that even though I'm a vegetarian, I love the food here. Favourites being Mushroom Ghee Roast and Appam. They also serve liquor here, but sadly both the times I wanted to drink beer, they didn't have the beer I wanted from their menu.
The place is mainly famous for seafood and there is a seafoody smell in the restaurant, so anyone who cannot stand the smell of fish and seafood better avoid.
I loved the ambience, service and food. Decorated with natural green plants and a warm bright ambience.
But they didn't serve the thaalis on weekends which is not fair.
They welcome you with fish shaped fryums. The starters are authentic and super tasty. They have a small bar and serve alcohol.
They have a good variety of fishes and can serve you the way you want it cooked. We tried prawns, seer, surmai, bangda, squids.
For main course, they have a gravy taster to help you decide your base gravy. I personally loved this concept. The fish gravy quality is super amazing.
Prices are definitely on a higher side. The portion size is less for the prices charged.
Finally got a chance to visit this place and it was definitely worth the wait. The food was 5 stars. The seafood served was fresh and every item had a unique flavour to it.
