Review Saayba Hotel Restaurant - Mumbai

Missed this hidden gem even though it's not so hidden and I've lived close by for years. Tried the mutton thaali and bangda fry. Both were really good. The thecha is worth mentioning. Something that surprised us was the chicken tacos with their own twist. They were delicious. We wanted to take two portions take away but they weren't letting us take the shell and the filling separately for some reason. We requested them so that it wouldn't get soggy by the time we reached home but they were adamant that it couldn't be done for whatever reason. Anyway, worth checking out this place. The foods great. Parking is non existent so you'll have to park elsewhere and then walk here, or just take a rickshaw.

If you want authentic Marathi Non-veg food then this is the best place. Service is great. Hygiene is good. Food is fantastic. Food quantity is value for money. Family and friends friendly environment. Just the space is bit compact, but that can be compromised for food.

Smallish place but decent. Good service. Food quality is great and fish is fresh. Serving Quantity is a bit less, but matches the price. One star less because they do not de-thread the prawns. So do not eat prawns here.

Must try their fish thali. I had taken surmai fish thali. Quantity of food was a little less for the price Their bombay duck fry and usal of the day is nice.

This is our all time favorite Costal food eating House... Very Fresh... SPECIALITY is Prawn fry & Bombil fry (Bombay Duck)... Food is very homely... Service is very decent & Prompt. Reasonable, compare to any other Non-Veg restaurant.. Family friendly... Decent ambience... Owner is very polite & soft spoken... 5 star rating 👍

Amazing experience. To b honest I was not expecting anything out of this bit shady looking restaurant anything let alone a good dining experience. But I was surprised. First of all the fish was so fresh ,baigan ka bhaaji was the ultimate along with sukti cha chutney .all in all total paisa wasool experience

Went it there for lunch at around 2ish had waiting of 10 mins. Food is good some hotels lack in salt content when it comes to fish but not this one. I wanted to try Mutton Thank but sadly it got over so hopefully next. I tried Fish Thali which comes with Surmai Fry & Curry(portion of fish) with 2 chapatis (Can't swap them for bhakri) Rice & Sol kadhi. I also ordered Bombil Fry. Fish fry were yum perfectly marinated. Chapatis rice average. Fish curry could have been better. Sol kadhi very very Nice 👌. Owner are nice & warm.

I ordered Pomfret deep fry and Prawns Masala in Mar 20. the food was good and staff also polite. It took a half an hour to get orders, but its no issue. Overall good ambiance and food.

I think Saayba hotel is THE BEST. Food and pricing is simply awesome! Good staff & really antique interior. The only issue is parking space.

Superb ambience ⚡👌 except the delay for getting our order the hotel is awesome ⚡

The Best Place to have Malvani Food🤌✨❤️

One of the most pathetic food n rude staff. Had ordered prawns sukka n they sent me some unpalatable prawns. Informed the restaurant abt it at that time they agreed for refund within a week but when called them 2 days later they refused to have spoken to me. Complete scam n waste of money

Saayba is a restaurant has always been visited by the Irani family for over 3 decades now. Infact it's a no fuss dinner and we plan ahead what we are going to order.<br/>Not a very big eatery, it has 10-12 tables and on weekends there is Always a minimum half hour waiting to get inside.<br/>We ordered bombil surmai and rawas fry. What a feast it was enjoying hot crispy fish fry. A tad bit oily though.<br/>Later it was time for prawns xacuti, achari and fish thali with Sol kadi. Quantity was less this time.<br/>The meal was so satisfying and was relished by all.<br/>Thankyou:)

Very popular hotel in locality specially known for its sea food coming to the restaurant ambience is quiet simple and service is prompt,coming to food was not satisfied with food taste

Visit to the past .. Saayba at reclamation Bandra for quick lunch - Saayba special prawns, fried Rawas and Fried Bombil .. finished off with malai kulfi and gulab jamun .. All absolutely flawless - the prawns were super fresh super yummy !! alongwith beverages came within 1100 bucks !! Rating : 😋😋😋😋

Choice of fish preparation was missing. Tawa fry and Rava fry are the most famous two choices one gets when ordered for Fry fish. Saayba has only one option of shallow fry, this is no less than a bhajiya, no masala. Bombay duck was also shallow fried, no masala. The prawns gravy called prawns masala wasn’t good at all. It felt like - Tomatoes were almost raw and onion remained uncooked. This was like preparation by some novice who learns for cook- very basic. <br/><br/>Had heard a lot about this place but was disappointed. Almost felt like we wasted time to travel and money..<br/><br/>Staff was humble, service was good.<br/><br/>Fish was fresh, soft, cooked well (leave the taste aside).

Sorry sir but as compared to the price the food is not that great ! Please lower your price for more better experience to the customers. The food was earlier great but now it is deteriorated not recommended anymore.

Best place to have amazing seafood and kombdi wade. Small place but they will never disappointe you. Been there several times everytime food is fresh and tastes good. Sagoti chicken and sagoti wade is my favourite from saayba.Must try for sea food lovers.

Delicious Seafood. Have tried the pomfret curry, surmai curry, Bombay duck fry...like my friend said.. exquisite.. :)..fresh fish and well-balanced masalas.

This is our all time favorite Costal food eating House... Very Fresh... SPECIALITY is Prawn fry & Bombil fry (Bombay Duck)... Food is very homely... Service is very decent & Prompt. Reasonable, compare to any other Non-Veg restaurant.. Family friendly... Decent ambience... Owner is very polite & soft spoken... 5 star rating 👍

Had been here for dinner the place small with few seatings. Only one fish thali option others were not available most of the food we asked for was not there. We had asked for bombil fry which was less on salt half burnt so we left only eating that i feel the place is not worth now

After visiting couple of times this visit was the worst experience. Quality of the Non-Veg food is downgraded along with the quantity, price remains the same.<br/><br/>Suggestions :<br/>- Quality of the food needs to be improved<br/>- Need to decrease the wait time for thali (Veg & Non Veg)<br/>- Please change the steel thali, use other crockery

If you are VEGETARIAN please do not visit.<br/><br/>I had order : <br/>- Paneer Mutter Masala<br/>- Vadi (Type of puri)<br/>- Paneer Veg Pulao<br/><br/>Review :<br/>- Paneer in Paneer Mutter Masala was like rubber<br/>- Paneer in Paneer Veg Pulao was like rubber too but Pulao was super spicy<br/>- Service was super slow<br/>- No cleanliness in infrastructure<br/>- Servers dress was not clean<br/>- AC was not properly managed

Decent place to eat some authentic coastal cuisine. Price is slightly high, food taste is also ok. The best thing is that the seafood is fresh.

Its a decent place serving decent food.If you are a sea food lover or like Malvani cuisine then you must try this place. <br/><br/>Well since I am not a fan of Malvani food I personally did not enjoy the food though it was good. <br/><br/>I liked their Surmai fry, its was very good.

I have been visiting this place since I was kid and can say that over the years this place has only become better. A simple quaint place with simple ambience. Great place for sea food lovers. What I also like about this place is that it’s clean and hygienic even though it’s smaller. <br/><br/>Stop by this place if you are in the vicinity and do try their fish fry, fish gravy and bhakri or vade. Wash it down with their refreshing sol kadhi.<br/><br/>This place will never disappoint you!!

Quick lunch at this iconic place located in Bandra West ! We straight opted thali & not to miss the fried bombay ducks !<br/><br/>Sneak peek the dishes we tried with quick Recommendations:<br/>- Chicken & Vade #must try<br/>- Bombay duck<br/><br/>Quick look at Scorecard based on experience :<br/>Ambiance - 4/5<br/>Quality - 4/5<br/>Quantity -4/5<br/>Taste -4/5<br/>Service - 4/5<br/>Price -4/5<br/>Revisit- 4/5

Went to this place yesterday with my family food is decent on taste though the spice on the palate is high in some of the dishes we ordered for chicken masala fry , shell fish masala,Prawns fry which costed 439 Rs. Which is obnoxiously high for mere 10 pieces of prawns management has to seriously look into the pricing. Otherwise the food was fine

Good places for sea food lovers but everything is deep fried here.. For those who like less oily, tava fried fish..this is not the place.. But having said that the preparations are very tasty.. And the fish pulao is awesome...

A good place for trying out some Goan and Konkani food. Thali's are good, seating is very limited. There isn't a fancy ambience. It's a very simple but sober restaurant.<br/><br/>Type : Casual Dining<br/>Food quality : 7/10<br/>Food Aesthetics : 6/10<br/>Ambience : 5/10<br/>Value for money : 7/10

This place in Bandra has a very home like vibe with a very friendly staff. The super delicious Seafood Thali at Saayba is extremely pocket friendly. You get Pomfret curry, Kingfish fry, Sol kadhi, 2 chapattis, a bowl of rice and a bowl of extra fish curry. Everything on their menu does justice to the taste buds of a seafood lover. The taste is very homemade, so you actually feel like you are eating at home or at a friends house.<br/>Service- 5/5<br/>Ambience- 3.5/5<br/>Food- 4/5

Excellent seafood. The tisrya masala/ sukke are a must try with a plate of steaming hot vade. Friendly staff and the best malvani food ever!! Be sure to get there a little early to avoid waiting.

Went it there for lunch at around 2ish had waiting of 10 mins. Food is good some hotels lack in salt content when it comes to fish but not this one. I wanted to try Mutton Thali but sadly it got over so hopefully next.<br/>I tried Fish Thali which comes with Surmai Fry & Curry(portion of fish) with 2 chapatis (Can't swap them for bhakri) Rice & Sol kadhi. I also ordered Bombil Fry. Fish fry were yum perfectly marinated. Chapatis rice average. Fish curry could have been better. Sol kadhi very very Nice 👌.<br/>Owners are courteous & warm.

The bangda tikle won my heart because after ages ate something that came close to what mom makes, the fiery spicy bangda n then the fleshy clean tisrya,uff yummy. The solkadhi too was exactly how we goans make.marinate ur fish fry a bit with kokam but was yummy nonetheless

A no frill hotel serving good sea food dishes and some amazing veg & non veg thali in the most visited bylanes of Bandra.<br/><br/>Ambience (3/5) : It's simple and has decent seating arrangements, a bit noisy as the tables are close to each other. A place you step in for a quick bite get your money’s worth and move out.<br/><br/>Service (4/5) : Super-fast service as mentioned above as there are always people waiting to get in and move out too.<br/><br/>Food (4/5) : They do dish out some simple yet tasteful dishes, see below for the dishes ordered<br/><br/>Bombil Fry & Surmai Fry : Fresh catch from the sea judging by the freshness and fried perfectly, a perfect appetizer to start your meal with.<br/><br/>Fish Thali : A typical fish joint with a decent fish thali offering. Crisply fried fish accompanied with steamed rice and curry was a delight and perfect combo. <br/><br/>Mutton Xacutti : Well-cooked and spiced Xacutti with generous pieces of mutton., have it with Roti or steam rice and you have a perfect main course.<br/><br/>Overall it was delicious experience and the food was tasty and would recommend to try this place out once for those who enjoy sea food.

Saayba is one of those cheap, value-for-money places in Bandra that provides really good Mahrashtrian and Konkan food. Their fish thalis are exceptionally good along with most of their seafood dishes. Try their bombil, rawas or surmai fry for starters. In the mains, we quite liked Prawns Achari with soft Rice Bhakari.

We visited this place for dinner tonight. We ordered the boneless chicken fry and prawns masala. The prawns were good. The chicken fry was modified a bit as per our request. It was not what were wanted. Instead of a coconut gravy we got a tomato based gravy. The Bombay duck fry was very tasty. Overall a very harty meal.

A very famous fish joint located in Bandra West, near the station. Be prepared to wait here till you get your seating inside. No matter which day you go you have to wair.<br/><br/>Ambience 3/5 It's simple and has decent sitting arrangements. Nothing fancy here. It's quite noisy as the tables are really close to each other. So it's a typical place to order ,eat ,pay your bill and move out.<br/><br/>Service 4/5 No complains but it's like a fast train here , order fast, eat fast n leave since others are waiting. Fast and prompt service. Just like the fast life we are living in Mumbai.<br/><br/>Fish Thali 5/5: Since it's a fish place we called for the fish Thali. The crisply fried fish went perfectly vwith the steamed rice and curry . Enjoyed the kokum as well. It's sufficient for one person and I will definitely have the fish Thali again and again and again. Loved it.<br/><br/>Bombil Fry and Surmai Fry 5/5 The fish is really extremely fresh and well prepared. It is served nice and hot and a perfect starter to enjoy while you wait for your main course to arrive.<br/><br/>Mutton Xacutti with roti - 4/5 Enjoy the well cooked and spiced Xacutti with rotis. I found this a bit salty and spicy . Was told it's spicy , however it's an overload of spices. Goes well with rotis and if you love spicy food this is your heaven.<br/><br/>You must visit this place when in Bandra and try out the Thali here I remember coming here as a child and nothing has changed.<br/><br/>

One of the least appreciated place because of being overshadowed by a popular Biryani joint in the same location, but nonetheless I would definetly recommend if you want to try out Malvani style fish in Bandra. Not overhyped , pocket friendly and without any fuss, this restaurant sticks strictly to the preparation. Try their stuffed pomfret fried and bombil fry. Also their Thalis are sumptuous.

Visit Day Date and Time:- Saturday 19-May-18, 1.30 pm<br/><br/>“Saayba Hotel” another hidden gem and legendary restaurant for all the sea food lovers of Mumbai. This place has been operating since past 3 decades and is located on the SV Road in Bandra opposed to Jhama Masjid.<br/><br/>Ambience:- Simple and Basic<br/><br/>We tried out following from the menu:-<br/>▶️ Chicken Masala Sagoti:- Its basically chicken gravy which is cooked slowly and has coconut as base. It was appetising and went well with Wade.<br/>▶️ Bombil Fry:- Bombil is regional name for Bombay Duck Fish. It was fried to perfection keeping its softness intact.<br/><br/>Recommendations:- Chicken Masala Sagoti with Wade <br/><br/>Service:- Good<br/><br/>Experience:- Overall it was delicious experience but feel its bit over priced. But the food was tasty and would recommend to try it out atleast once for sea food lovers.<br/><br/>Follow rohanvsfood on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter and Snapchat for daily food updates<br/><br/>Note:- Above review is based on personal experience

I had Chicken Saguti Masala & Vade. But just two good pieces in the Chicken Masala which costs Rs 239. Rest were bones. Not worth at all. The ambience is ok. Staff are courteous.

One sholud visit here only for sea food and that too for only having Prawns and Crabs that are good.<br/>Other food are also good but not upto the mark.<br/>Anyways my favourites are only prawns.<br/>#Saayba

Saayba hotel is located in Bandra on the main road . It has been there for years and serves great sea food.<br/><br/>Their fish thalis are worth a try . Fried fish is amazing !The prices are a bit high .<br/><br/>The place gets crowded so one must account for the waiting time .<br/><br/>Service is quick ambience is ok!

It's not a cozy place. We went there to have seafood as we had a lot of good reviews from acquaintances, bit were highly disappointed.<br/>The presentation of the food was adept but it did not taste that good.<br/>We asked for a chicken starter. We asked the waiter not to make it spicy as we need for my son, he just got chicken that was boiled and fried it had no taste at all. My son rejected it out right.<br/>We ordered rawas, Bombay duck, and prawns after that.<br/><br/>When we eat the fish we had to look for the fish within the thick coating of rawa.<br/><br/>Prawns was good and everyone liked it.

surmai, rawas, prawns, banda, halwa, Bombay duck, shell fish I jst can't stop naming but seriously it has totally mouth melting dishes for all seafood and fish lover must definitely visit here I tried prawns curry, and surmai green masala and veg thali surprise part there is sonkadi too and they also serve non veg thali as well..!!

A very good place for having fish located opposite bandra mosque. This place has been running since decades. The quality is still very good. The staff will properly explain you regarding any particular dish you wish to know about.<br/>The fish thali is a very good option. Things.to try: Promfret/Surmai rawa fry. Chicken sagoti, clams sukkha, Prawns curry with rice, Solkadi.<br/>They also serve a decent chicken thali and a good veg@ thali. So there is something for everyone.

Was in Bandra for few days nd always wondered if Bandra had any authentic Gomantak Hotel. Luckily after few days noticed dis place. Came down early FM office on Monday and it was closed, it's der weekly off. So next day had my Tuesday ka lunch, orders fish thali. They served me with Big portion of Surmai fry, Surmai gravy, solkadi, extra amti, hot soft chappati, and rice. <br/>The taste was Authentic, fish was really fresh and tasty, the waiters were warm nd happy to serve, good place to dine with family, very clean and hygienic. <br/>

Been here for dinner ......good for sea food!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️......Value for money too!!!⭐️⭐️⭐️........Ambience ⭐️⭐️⭐️......<br/>Staff ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ .....would definitely visit again !

One star is also too much to give.. The food quality has deteriorated to the worst seafood in Mumbai. Once upon a time we used to crave for the food. Today the stuff juz fills ur stomach but fails massively to fill ur taste buds and foodgasm. The prices are sky rocketing and the quality does not enhance proportionately. Kindly choose some other places for ur malvani taste buds. This place is not worth it. Juz a brand name with empty insides.

Service is good but normal one small plate/vati rice is Rs.60. This is too much. They should make Goan curry little more tasty. It was just plain spicy tastless curry.

Typical malvani food. Fish was fresh and crisp. Prawns were not marinated just added to gravy. Taste was ok. Average place to eat. Location is easy.

Saayba <br/>one of the oldest restaurant to be serving authentic sea food in mumbai. For years n years the name n its taste stays for tasty malvani style sea food. Simple yet ample seating area good for a family food outing. <br/>Service n quick n apt n the staff is friendly and on their toes to fullfill your requests. The dishes we tried<br/>- surmai red gravy<br/>- rawas gravy <br/>- crab masala<br/>- king prawn red gravy<br/>- with chapatis n rice bhakris<br/>- prawns fry<br/>- bombil fry <br/>- solkadi(trditional drink)

Been a while since we've been to @Saayba for a meal, so visited with family for a Sunday Lunch.<br/><br/>The interiors of the place or service has not changed much over the years, but the there's a marked difference in the food quality.<br/><br/>The Fish thali was strictly ok.. Wadas and Prawn Biryani were nice, but the Fried Prawns and Mutton Sukha was the best!

Had heard a lot about this place so we went there for lunch on a working day. Ambience and the rest of the place was quite average, the worst part was food. We ordered Fish Curry, Fried Pomfret, Clam Curry and Amboli. Fist curry was the worst of the lot...zero on taste, no salt, no character, just nothing. Fried fish was again deviod of any taste at all. Amboli was more like Dosa. Clam Curry was somewhat better. To top it all, it was over priced. Never recommend anyone this place...

I recently have been to the place during monsoon and one of the pathetic experience i had was with cleanliness. We ordered our lunch and after it was served on the table we had flies running out here and there. We also informed staff about it and still they reacted as helpless. Definitely will not recommend this place in monsoon. Avoid this place in monsoon if you do not want to dine with flies on your plates.

Saayba hotel is famous for sea foods. Located close to station. Fast service. The seafoods are so good. For the price we pay. Staff are good.

The food is good but they don't deliver always. Today I called and they refused to deliver. I live very close the hotel. They should hire more staff.

Good malvani Marathi food. It's the type that's in my dad's go to book for malvani food. The fish here is food, no matter which one you have. We usually go for the rava fried pomfret. <br/><br/>In the top 10 coastal cuisine restaurants in Mumbai

I hate giving bad review but nothing is as disappointing as a "has been" ... the revamped menu has made this once outstanding seafood joint very commercial and generic... positives are that its clean with fresh fish... as a Saayba fan I hate that this landmark has lost its soul😔... I can't say I will be seen in the queue outside.<br/><br/>If you do go there anyway, I'd recommend the veg thali, the prawn chutney stuffed pomfret and (the saving grace) amboli

Been here sometime back. Not worth your money. Late service. Small portions. Decent ambiance. Was disappointed. Could give this place a miss.

Our go-to place for malvani style lip smacking sea food. The pompret red tikhala is a must have. Oyster masala is delicious too. Fried bombil is absolute heaven. This place has maintained the quality of food over each passing year. Their mutton thali & vade is sought after too. Truly a sea food lovers Paradise!!<br/>Only parking is an issue, so you might consider not taking your own vehicle there.

Located near Bandra station Saayba is a simple restaurant serving really good dishes of fish. <br/><br/>We called for Rawas curry in green preparation which was really yummy. Had chapati and ambolis with it. Ambolis were served hot... were soft and really good.<br/><br/>Ordered Surmai fry, bombil fry and prawns fry too. Crispy .. hot and fresh fish.<br/><br/>We also had prawn curry rice, it was simply delicious. <br/><br/>Loved the overall food. Very good quality of fish served. <br/><br/>We had malai kulfi and kesar kharvas. Would highly recommend the kharvas as it is one of the best I've had. The perfect amount of sweet and amazing taste.

Lip smacking Malvani food... a must try for every sea food lover.. crispy Bambay duck fry, crispy vade, chicken and mutton sukkha masala, prawns masala, egg pulao and in the end their authentic solkadi just makes ur day.... Great ambience and reasonable price are two of the many things that the place offers to make ur day

This place has no branches and it is known for its coastal konkani food.<br/>We ordered chicken pakoda which is chunks of chicken marinated coated with semolina and deep fried was ok as chicken was hard.<br/>Prawn curry was average<br/>Solkadi was good. <br/>Chicken salgoti was good

Parking is the major issue if you are not in the mood to wait, don't visit! Food can be better. Service and ambience is average. Solve the parking issue because the area is crowded anyway on peak hours.

Parking is an issue here as it is located near lucky restaurant on the busy bandra talao road. Amazing finger licking affordable malvani food!!

Considering the food was quite bad at the last 3-4 restaurants I visited, this place was a major relief. As it says, it's mainly a place for seafood, but it's definitely good quality seafood. Worth every penny spent.the food is tasty and fresh. Not disappointed with anything we ordered. And it's reasonably priced. Worth a visit. And they have a valet too, so parking is not an issue.

the taste is nice, but i hate one fact i.e they dont remove the thread ( POOP OF THE PRAWN) of the prawns, when i asked the waiter as to why that was the case he called the owner of the place and he said " we <br/>never ever remove the thread , this is the way we serve since years " <br/>His atrutude was really bad i.e the owners the way he sait it was " i dont care about what u think but i woll continue my unhygienic pratice as i have been sping this since years " <br/>I would love yo black list the restaurant the worse so far . that is the reason i totally dislike going to this restaurant. <br/>hygiene is a major issue here.<br/> this restaurant and that the reason we have stopped .<br/>so be careful before u order , rather skip this place for prawns.

Been visiting this place since my childhood and my dad got parcels too.. Food is always amazing if you enjoy Malvani fare.<br/><br/>Staple order remains Chicken Xacuti Masala (gravy) and Vade. <br/><br/>Ofcourse you can also try Chicken Suka and it's Mutton variants as well. Fish curries are also well made. N fried fishes are a must try too. Prawns/Surmai/Rawas are my favourite.<br/><br/>Sol kadhi which is an appetiser should be tried too.<br/><br/>

Last night while driving past Bandra Majid area with my family , we passed by Saayba. So I decided to drop and have a look at the restaurant since I had heard a lot about this restaurant from my friend Najeebah Kerawalla and plus we were heading for dinner either ways . <br/><br/>From the exteriors it seems like any other small time shady restaurant but just from a peep inside, I was rest assured that I could bring in my family members who were waiting in the car for a green single to enter the restaurant. On being seated, the waiter was prompt in bringing 4 menu cards and water. Though restaurant was small the tables were well laid out and the space was well managed. <br/><br/>Not deviating too much from the purpose of the review, these are my ratings for the restaurant on scale of 1-5:<br/><br/>Food - 4/5<br/>Service - 5/5<br/>Ambiance - 3.5/5<br/>Overall experience - 4/5<br/><br/>My order consisted of :<br/>- Prawns Sukha <br/>- Prawns in green masala <br/>- Chicken sukha (2 plates)<br/>- Konkan Zatka Dal <br/>- Kokum Kadi<br/>- Vada Puri ( these were my favourite )<br/><br/>The total billed summed up to Rs.1800 something which is pretty decent for the scrumptious meal we had. All in all a good restaurant to try out some authentic Maalvan cuisine. Definitely going there again. <br/><br/><br/>

This is a place for fish lovers..if you wanna eat a fish in mumbai ...eat here...tasty and reasonable .. stuffed pomfret is a must try even tisrya masala..

Good Malvani food. Try their Chicken Sagoti (thick gravy). Service is good and friendly staff. If you're in Bandra, it's a place that can't be missed!

Maalvan food on a gloomy day, just what the doctor ordered to cheer you up and lighten your spirits. One has to wait a while to get a table there, but it is totally worth the wait.<br/><br/>Saayba, is a quaint little place on an extremely busy road, so its best to use a cab or rick to get there. Basic seating inside, but that didn't matter once the food arrived.<br/><br/>The surmai was great, the chicken was brilliant and the pulaos were good and the overall experience of dining there was fantastic.<br/><br/>Price wise, it isn't that bad for the kind of food you get to eat there. All in all, a good experience, next time around will order the red and green curry with some rice instead. Slurp...

This Place is sooo good the food is fabulous the prawns fry is soo good, The Chicken Dry Roast was superb Prawns Balchao it was Rocking and in desserts Three in one kulfi with pista, Malai & kesar is must try Will definitely return to this place. :D:):-)<br/> Best Regards <br/> Aarihant Malliah<br/>

The fried prawns were yummm. The food was overall very tasty. But, I felt that it was overpriced for the quantity that they serve. And maybe because of it's location. So, if you have a big group, be prepared to spend a bombshell. Also, don't forget the taxes. Gomantak, Dadar is comparatively better in all aspects.

I stepped into this restaurant on a Sunday afternoon to have a quick lunch. This restaurant is well known in the area for its seafood. <br/><br/>This place is cosy with comfortable seating. It is an air conditioned eating house, there are washrooms and the staff is courteous.<br/><br/>Being single, I ordered one dish - the Prawns Pulao. It was perfect for one person - not too much and not too less. The Prawns were tasty and done right. The flavors are more on the spicier side since this is Gomantak cuisine. <br/><br/>Overall a good place for lunch if you are in the mood for sea food without being exceptional.<br/><br/>

Full ratings for serving us at the closing time. This hidden gem serves excellent seafood. As much I would have loved to share the pictures we didn't even get time to click, we were so Hungry. We loved the preparations starting from the Bombay duck fry, prawn balchao, tisrya suka (shell fish preparation) it was lovely. The distinct flavour of masalas were prominent. Fish was fried to perfection and to top it up the solkadi Perfection. Highly recommend this place for seafood lovers.

The place is known for Konkani cuisine. It is located near the lucky hotel. You have to walk towards Mahim from Lucky and you will get there.<br/>Food is really good. It tastes just like home cooked food. All wadas, sagoti and prawns pulao was good. Sadly they don't have kolambi bhat. Prawns were very soft and juicy. <br/>Kharavas was fresh and tasty but little bit expensive.

A nice, cosy and friendly place situated amidst the hustle bustle of Bandra. The place is basically a 'superstar' in coastal delicacies, minus the overenthusiastic PR machinery! The food is delicious. And very pocket friendly. There thalis are amazing. Fish fry and mutton are lip smacking. If you want to enjoy a frill free but sumptuous and delightful coastal fare, this is the place to be!

Food not upto the level of the cost at which they are offering it.<br/>But i must say taste wise its authentic sea food and malvani chiken can be graded good.<br/>The place is small but has decent ambience , though not very classy.<br/>Prawns and pomfret are recommended food items.

Didnt really enjoy the food much. Although it was tasty, the curry especially. Known for its sea food cuisine it definitely needs to broaden the menu!

Authentic Malvani food. Sol kadi,bombil fry,pomfret fry,chicken green masala and prawns pulao f<br/>ollowed by kharvas was awesome. Fresh bombil and pomfret. Consistent good and tasty food. Reasonable prices for quality food.

Omg,this is the perfect place if you love malvani food...Had lunch at this place today....Okay,let me start with the ambience.....This a very simple,humble place near bandra talao..Its in the same line on the same road as bandra's very well-known Lucky restaurant....only hardly as noticeable.... I mean its very easy to pass by this place n not notice it...U enter n u notice nothing special....Very ordinary looking...No fancy decor or anything....Now,let me start with the food...Me n my mom decided to start with a Sol kadhi which was just WOW....If u like Sol kadhi as much as I do u r definitely gonna ask for a second one....We then ordered prawns with balchao dip ,a rawas fry (deep fried) each,n kombdi wade...Prawns with balchao dip were basically deep fried prawns with a rice flour based coating,crunchy on the outside,soft n melting on the inside accompanied with a dip which was spicy n tangy at the same time,the rawas fry was great too,fried to perfection still soft on the inside.....Now,about the kombdi wade,its basically puris made of rice flour that u eat with chicken gravy the wade were lovely,crisp n yeah,n being made of rice flour n not wheat flour,it had a specific taste which u don't get from ur usual puris..But,still yummy....coming to the chicken gravy its a coconut based gravy slightly spicy which goes wonderfully with the wade...We ended the meal on a sweet note with kulfi....In all,Saayba is the perfect place for a seafood lover or a malvani food lover....A warning though even the prices look reasonable on the menu card,the quantity is too less,I mean if 2 hungry guys would eat at this restaurant,they would have to order atleast 3 portions for main course be it gravy or rice,,,the portions suck....However,quality is great. No complaints at all right from the appetizers to the main courses...<br/><br/>

Yet another place that brings back memories of years gone by.  Located near bandra station alongside Lucky Restaurant....this was a place close to home. The food I recollect was spicey....read SPICEY..a treat again only for the family.<br/><br/>The stuffed pomfret, thali of your choice, bombil fry, mandeli and gaboli were the local favorites....and since it was a small joint it had a homely feel, which I hear now has become more commercial. I just hope the quality is not compromised with the changing times.

A oasis for great seafood in the fish eating suburbs of Bandra. A a stones throw from the Bandra station. <br/>Every thing in this place gives you that rustic home made food feeling. Every thing they provide right from the fried surmai to the prawns curry to the pomfret tikhle is awesome.<br/>The wade they provide are unique and tasty on their own. <br/>The one thing that makes this place stand out is the fish biryani. it has boneless pieces of surmai laced with the perfect mix of spices. Delectable on your palate.<br/><br/>Overall a must visit place if you are a seafood lover.

My fish carrier started with Saayba. One night after a few a Gand of 7 reached at 10.30 and got them to open the shutter... Alas they were flexible and cheap then. Everything possible came for less than 1 k for 7 of us. <br/>Fast forward to 2013 was sad and bad. Terrible food and service and staff and cost. <br/>2015 Dec Ras the reviews and decided to try again. Must say wasn't disappointed at all with the food and quality. Surmai fry was out of the world... Pomfret fry was great too. Ravas green curry was okish... Extra curry was average.. <br/>Now come the important aspect... Does the size of Pomfret and Surmai justify 299 each?? Put off totally.. Sol Kadai for 69 bucks?? Extra curry 99 each?? No doubt the taste was good but for the ambience and the constipated Galla guys should we pay this??? Over rated if we consider the cost I think. Otherwise good food... And the pee came free... 😆

Good variety of tasty fish items in menu though quantity might be a shocker for the cost per dish. Decent small place with personalised touch to service. Vehicle parking is a major issue as this restaurant right on the main road.

Been visiting this place since many years now and must say it still continues to be my favourite place for seafood in Mumbai. I love their pomfret and prawn pickle and the fried fish, sol kadhi and just about everything I've tried here. Must visit!

They have amazing sea food. It is not your fine dine type restaurant but they serve superb fish curries and fried prawns. If you're in bandra and looking for a place to eat amazing sea food goan konkani malwani style then this is the place to visit

I really love stopping by at Saayba and having a delicious meal. I usually have seafood which I think Saayba is best at ..Especially the prawns ,pomfret and the mandeli,the solekadi and the dal fry. I just hope it opens a few more branches ...

A friend of mine, rather suggesting, sponsored a luncheon.. Why? Because of the awesome food from the coast. Deliciously satisfying, we digged into Fish, Prawns and closed with Chicken in the main. It's challenging to pick one from the lot, all on the menu turns out to be delicious. After the silent luncheon I figured the generosity of my friend....

Decent place for Malwani food. This place used to be my favorite till they stopped home delivery. Well they didn't stop it completely, but it sure is extremely irregular. Hence one whole point cancelled from the rating. Otherwise, the place offers good seafood and everything you expect from a malwani restaurant. Chicken Sagoti, Bombil fry, Sol Kadi and even Bhindi fry are my favorites.

I am a crazy Malwani food fanatic and I try to find new places to satiate the seafood craving in me. I have been going to Saayba for as long as I can remember. As a child, I remember this restaurant as being quite a no-frills noisy place where the prawn fry was a specialty, marinated in house masala and crispy fried in rava. Another specialty includes the mutton sagoti masala (thick gravy with mutton) as well as the surmai green masala and surmai fry. The tisrya masala and prawns masala are average. The bombil fry is oily. All in all, this is my go-to-joint for mutton sagoti and prawn fry.

They don't know how to treat and talk to their customer.<br/>By no means they know the meaning of customer centricity <br/>Had been their couple of time, while dropping few friends to bandra Junction. but the experience I had today forced me to write it.<br/><br/>Me and my friend wer returning from nariman point to andheri, as there was heavy traffic and after spending almost 2 hour in traffic, my friend wanted to use the washroom, as soon as we took SV road after the worli sea link, we saw saayba so she thought she can go their.<br/>she went in and used the washroom, while returning back she was stopped to say that this is not the public toilet and you will have to buy something as you have used the washroom.<br/>They started from selling soft drink and then ended up in giving bottle of water. <br/>She paid them 20 rupees for using the toilet and returned back their bottle of water.<br/>Had been their many times but this thing had made me upset and will never visit this place again.<br/>Am still confused and irritated on the way their management handled this thing.<br/><br/>Anyways<br/><br/>So any one around bandra need to pee can use saayba's washroom for rupees 20, slightly cleaner then the sauchalay + 1 for cleanliness <br/><br/>

Saayba is one place which adds up to the long list of underrated Maharashtrian restaurants of Mumbai. If the regular diners of Lucky Restaurant want to try out something new, come forward a few steps on the same building and devour this legendary Malwani feast. Rawas Red Thikala, Prawns Achar and daily specials are served best. Reservation recommended

One of the pathetic place ever visited.. Had ordered a chicken dish and there was nothing other than bones in it.. Pathetic service and food.. Hated it to the core!<br/>If there was a 0 rating I would be giving that!<br/>

One of the best places to have Konkani food ...ambience and serice are ok<br/>the mutton sagoti was just done right and was really tasty...<br/>the fish curry and promfet fry I had on another occasion were excellent .<br/>Can't wait to try the other options on the menu...<br/>The only draw back for someone like me who likes a lot of gravy is that  they charge a lot for the extra gravy!!!

One of our favourite joints for Goan, coastal and malvani food. This place has been around since ages and is vey famous for its waiting queues outside. They have renovated the place a few years ago and it's a nice comfy seating in ac. Try their prawns pulao and their fish fry. Their prawns fry never goes wrong. Do note, parking is impossible here. Cab or Rick is the best option getting here.

If you a traditional food lover Saayba is the place to be . located in the midst of bandra traffic you will find it difficult to get a parking space but its worth the hunt . the ambience is also so- so ( typically office goer type restro ) but the food lives up its flavour in all manner ..the only drawback is that you don't get non veg thali ...so go for the mutton sukha or fish fry with vada ( typical traditional maharastrian puri ) ...the vegetarian option is a thali which is as good as home cooked meal .a lil disappointed wati g the kothimbir vadi tough ...but a must visit for traditional food lovers

Well, this hotel has been famous for the authentic Konkani cuisine it has been serving since 1987. And the staff has really been working as per the expectations of the customers! The new interior look of the restaurant suits the aura and ambience as well ! A must visit place for all people living in the western suburbs of mumbai ... Really good place to enjoy some time with friends and family .

Awesome Seafood... great bhakaris (thick chapati)... simply in love with its taste...<br/><br/>And their pulao is like a Biryani itself.. awesome stuffed with vegetables... mutter... gr8...<br/><br/>But if compared to prices... did not like the qty they r serving.... :(

Fry bombils we were nice I found about expensive as per the quantity ...masala crabs were tasting autentic ...sole curry was v nice..I had been to this love long ago and I still remember so welll

Right there on SV Road near Bandra West station, this is a perfect place for Seafood lovers. If you're looking out for options cheaper than Gajalee for seafood/Goan cuisines, Saayba is the place to be. The Sagoti's along with seafood is recommended. Happy scrumptiousness!

Nice, little cozy place near Bandra station, right on SV road.<br/>Good food . We had a variety of sea food and it's not very costly too. <br/>Should go if u like sea food.

I could say with immense pride that I started my seafood journey with this place. Years back, I happen to visit this place and got introduced to prawns, bombil, surmai, crab etc.<br/>Most famous saying is, this is Sachin Tendulkar's fav place and he had been there several times during the early part of his career.<br/>Try their Crab Masala, Prawns curry. It's super delicious. Rest of the seafood is nicely cooked and tasty as well.<br/>Ambience takes a severe hit considering its location (right on the busy SV Road, Bandra west area). Make sure you don't bring a car as there is no valet parking and being SV Road, there is no open parking space either. It's better to catch an auto and come to taste some of the finest seafood.<br/>Also the service is typical (quick, relentless).Overall a must visit place, especially if you are an avid seafood lover.

I have been visiting this place from long time. My favourite is Chicken sangoti with thick gravy, tandlachi bhakri, prawn fries and surmai... The taste is very good, spicy and very well cooked :)

Saayba has been around for ages and was a hot family favourite in the late 90's in Bandra for Malwani food. My review is based on a recent visit and not on its legacy.<br/><br/>Firstly parking is a pain since it is located near Bandra Station on the Road that leads to the talao. Hadn't been there in ages so decided to drop in. If I remember correctly they used to serve thalis before but it looks like that has been discontinued cause they would like to cash in on the a la carte in their renovation . Which is kinda sad. Coming to ambience : it's been renovated since the last time I was there and the decor is basic and no frills just like the service in keeping with its legacy of dine and go! Coming to the food ordered the prawns masala , mutton masala , fish curry , wadi and rice. The mutton gravy was pathetic and there were more pieces of bone and cartilage than meat. The prawns and fish curry was average. The place seems to have lost its charm and old school Malwani flavour. Loved the solkadi which turned out to be the only satisfying aspect of the meal. Definitely not going back there anytime soon <br/><br/>
