I am a big fann of sea food and love prawns very much so thought of ordering prawns biryani from Malvan Samudra was happy with my purchase as it came in an amazing quantity with amazing taste also they gave us a gravy as a complimentary along with the biryani which was delicious and spicy
I ordered chicken thali from this restaurant and surely it was one of the best thali i have tasted. The quantity was more than enough for one person and the taste was also too good.
Malvan samudra is family hotel.. They serve amazing malvan style food dishes. Famous for its kombadi vade. Also serves excellent other chicken and mutton dishes too. Its usually crowded here.so may have to wait. But the taste of food here is worth the wait
Malvan Samudra
We Have Been Here With Our Family...They Serve Amazing Malvan Style Food Dishes....Its A Small Restro....Can Accomadate 15-20 Ppl At A Time...Its An Pocket Friendly Restaurant....The Food Is Yumm....They Serve Best Malvan Style Authentic Food...Overall Its A Amazing Experience Visiting Here
Love this place . For the fact that it’s right opposite my house n they deliver at record time ! Food is sumptuous, one issue is consistency... I order the fish biryani and some days it has chunky piece and someday small leftover piece. They need to sort that out otherwise all is well !!!
Wonderful place for all Malvani hunger monsters located in the heart of the city. Famous for its kombdi vade but also serves excellent other chicken n mutton dishes too. We tried vazari sukha too which was excellent. N the entire lunch can be further enhanced by a glass of solkadi. Not tried fish dishes though but vade were awesome. Hotel is small with limited serving counter but good for small family non vegetarian lunch or dinner.
I visit this place quite often but still I do not have any pictures to share the only reason that I can think of is the food comes very fast and the same is so tempting that I forget to click pics(I will visit again and update pictures shortly). They serves some authentic malvani food. Surmai, Bombil, tisrya and kombdi vade thalis are recommend. They also serve very nice bheja thali. The ambiance is not all that great but they definitely more then compensate in taste, quality and pricing. The place is very busy during lunch hours hence plane accordingly before visiting.
PS: they are shut on Tuesday's
If you are low on money and carve for thali this is one the place you should look for. Cheap and worth the money. Best friendly staff near buy station and easy to full fill your taste buds.
This is a good option if you are want to have sea food.
We had the prawns thali and pomfret thali.
The service is quick. It's usually crowded here.
So you may have to wait. But the taste of food here is worth the wait.
Ambience is of a small hotel.
Hotel Malvan Samudra is very easy to miss in the crowded lanes of Lower Parel. But once you’ve tried out the place, you will want to keep coming back for more.
My colleagues and I tried out this place on a Friday afternoon, and not surprisingly it was crowded. The joint is small and can border on claustrophobic for some. But what it lacks in space and ambience, Malvan Samudra makes up with its food.
Menu variety isn’t the best, but you should only go there to have authentic Maharashtrian cuisine. Highly recommended is Surmai fry thali, which is more than sufficient for one person. Also worth trying out are kombdi vade, and prawns Koliwada.
My only complaint about this place is that it is a tad expensive for this particular kind of setup. You almost feel like you are paying Rs 50-60 more than what is ideal.
Still if you crave good Maharashtrian food, this one’s a must try.

Visited this restaurant at Lower Parel after checking the Google recommendations and it was WORTH IT !
What we had :
Bombil Thali - 200₹ - ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Chicken liver Thali - 250₹ - ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - Must try !
Wade - ⭐⭐⭐ - Can be improved.
The chicken liver masala was the creamiest and juiciest I have ever had. Spice quotient was on the spot.
Bombil was crispy on the crust and wet inside. Best feeling.
Visit with family !
We visited this place on Google recommendation and it was worth it. We ordered surmai and pomplet thali. It was delicious and felt like home cooked meal. The surmai in thali was little stale, but the owner promptly changed the fish on bringing to their notice. Quiet affordable too as compared to portion sizes.
Won't rate high on ambience but basic hygiene is maintained. Taste was excellent. Mut visit if you are looking out for typical malvani sea food.
I just love hotel malvan samudra whenever we want seafood we always prefer this hotel there fish is fresh n havind mouth leakable taste. But now a days it is closed don't know why if owner of this hotel read this review than please please please start ur hotel again with renovation m sure it will be best hotel in lower parel to curry road area.
This hotel serves decent Malvani dishes, speciality in seafood with affordable cost. This place is somewhat cozy, not that much comfortable but its fine. If you want to try your taste buds then its appropriate place for you at cheaper price. Overall experience is good and location is nearby Curry Road station.
Verry nice food veg n nonveg and better food
The place is located near Lower Parel Monorail Station. It's a nice and small place to sit and enjoy seafood and other non veg food items. I frequently visit here with my office colleagues for some good lunch or dinner which tastes and gives you the feel of home cooked food. Our favourite picks are Bombil fry also known as Bombay Duck, Prawns Fry, Surmai also known as Indo-Pacific King Mackerel and Kombdi Biryani which is Chicken Biryani. The staff is always on the move and serving to the best of their capabilities.The hotel owner is a calm and good person. The ambience is somewhat that of a typical indian resturant. Must visit to try out sea food and enjoy it with a chilled glass of Solkadi(Konkani Kokum Drink).

Prawn Koliwada is a spicy, deep fried prawn preparation which is a popular starter served in restaurants. The story goes that this recipe actually originated in Sion Koliwada (fisherman’s village) in Mumbai by a North Indian immigrant from Punjab. These deep fried and crunchy prawns are recognized by their signature red/orange color.
Prawn Koliwada tastes delicious and is excellent as an appetizer. It is a perfect accompaniment with cocktails or a cold beer. You can adjust the spices (especially the chilli powder) to suit your palate. The freshness of the prawns makes a world of difference to the taste and flavor of the fried prawns.
These spicy, deep fried prawns are highly addictive! If you are calorie conscious, you can just broil/grill them in the oven; but they taste best when they are deep fried! If you are planning a week end get together or a celebration party, Prawn Koliwada would be ideal to serve and I’m sure your guests and family will relish them.
If you have regularly enjoyed them at your favorite restaurant all this while, it is time you try it out in your very own kitchen and make simple home cooking special…
