I hv visited this place twich till date specifically for seafood
Tried fish thali at this place and my sister tried the chicken thali the taste have always been consistent and would never let ypu down the only thing i felt was that its a little overpriced place not heavily but a little .
Best for mahastrian food specially malvani cusine... Been here more than 20 times.. all tym favourite place. The fish thali is really amazing. It has both types of crowd family as well as bachelors. The lower part is for bachelors and the upper for family. The service is very quick
chicken Vade, surmai thali, bombil fry were best out of all...they also serve liquor

There is no range in some areas inside the hotel though 😛
Must try - All types of thali ( Chicken 🍗 , fish 🐟& prawns 🦐)
A perfect place for sea food lovers!
One thali can serve 1 person with decent appetite or 2 people with kinda lighter appetite.
In frame - 3 plate chicken thali along with komdi wade & surmai tawa fry.
The food was great. The sea food even more so. The ambience was good. The stff was helpful and friendly. I will definitely visit this place again soon

-- Being a malvani , I can proudly say that this place serves authentic malvani meals.
--I've never been disappointed during my endless times I have visited this place
--They use fresh fish and no compromise is done on quality whatsoever
-- My go to place for malvani food
-- Beer is also available.
Update:
They also serve wine.
Ask for King Surmai tawa fry and you would not be disappointed
One of the oldest Malwani Hotel In Thane serving super tasty Malwani food since many years! Its located in the most prime area of Thane i.e Panchpakadi. On weekends there is waiting time of minimum 30-45 minutes! They even serve alcohol so they have family section separate! The service is bit slow which can be improved! Now coming to the food
My personal favourite dishes are
Prawns Fry
Chicken Sukkha
Prawns Rice
Solkadhi
Amazing Taste!
Keep it up!
When it comes to having authentic Malvani food, it has to be this place. Thane comprises of so many
restaurants which serves authentic Maharashtrian cuisine. However, after trying a couple of restaurants
I now only head to Malvan to satiate my seafood craving. I’ve now visited here a number of times. In my
recent visit, I ordered:
Bombil fry – this was ok, was way too oily
Green Peas Garlic Fry – the only veg option in starters, quite below average.
Veg Thali – since veg options are so limited, this was the only reliable dish to try. The dal was good, the
tendli subji was a pass.
Surmai Thali – its favourite fish and totally enjoyed, the entire thali which is served with bhakri, rassa,
fish curry, rice and solkadi
Pomfret thali – the fish was really very fresh
Chicken Rice – it a chicken pulao in Malvani masala.
Good spicy, thoroughly enjoyed.
Special Egg Curry – this is a variation of egg curry where there is no boiled egg but scrambled eggs! Yes,
the scrambled eggs are in brown spicy gravy, went so well with bhakri.
Chicken Thali- nice chicken gravy and and chicken curry with coconut flavour. It's my go to thali if not keen for seafood
Masala Papad
The service is quick and staff is very polite. The highlight of this place is value for money.
This place remains at the top but solely for non-veg cravings.
Happy Eating!

Real Malvani food to try with special Malvani masala marinated fish,chicken with tasty spicy curry
One must try prawns masala
Kombdi vadhe if u Haven't try those are speciality in Malvan and white bhakri.
Fish fry ♥️ Thali option is also available which is enough to fill one's belly😃
This restaurant is well-known for its seafood. The portion of food they serve here is hearty. It is know for its old authentic Malvani dishes. The Surmai fish was fried and the mutton Bhuna was a semi gravy dish. Both the dishes very delicious and the quantity was also appropriate.
The ambience is of any regular fine dine and the service is prompt. This place is a must try for all sea food lovers out there.

Malvan is restaurant more than a bar. It specialises in Maharashtrian (Malvani) fish food. It is a treat for non-vegetarian. Plus point about the place is they also serve Alcohol. Menu is average in price. Fish is always fresh you order anything. Mutton lovers please visit as you can get fresh mutton and you also get Bheja which is finger licking. Alcohol is costly. Service is not so great. You will have to ask the waiter to serve you as they will not do it on their own. It is a place where you will always have waiting, specially on Wednesday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday. The catch is get here before 8:30 and you can get in quickly as it gets crowded post 8:30 pm. Overall a good family restaurant and bar for non-veg maharashtrian food lovers and those who want to have couple of drinks while the food is getting served.
The hotel is good for food taste specially seafoods but whenever we go there was strong smell of phenyl in upper family section which was unbearable while having food. So we stopped going there.
Otherwise if you wan to order at home it's a good option.
It's a nice place, usually have to wait for 10-15 min on the weekends, good authentic malvani cuisine. Chicken thali is better than surmai thali, In prawns fry prawns are not cooked well from inside. And in thali I suggest the host to skip Suki machi bhaji. Solkadi, Bhakri, Surmai everything was fresh and awesome.
You will not get any Chinese dish here including chicken lolipop. The best thing is that the natural ice cream shop is nearby hotel malvan. The place is a bit noisy as it's a family restaurant. Good place to go with your friends and family to make some more noise. Bon appetite. Adios.
Nice experience enjoyed Fish dishes with fabulous taste recommed visit this hotel... I tried Crab first time in life but it was delicious 😋
Well this place is strictly for non vegetarians.
Good ambience. They serve alcohol too but still comfortable for families.
Since i am vegetarian and i was there with friends i had to choose from very few vegetarian options. I would definitely not suggest this for vegetarians and based on my friends feedback, must try for non vegetarians to taste authentic Maharashtrian food. We have been there on Friday evening so had to wait for 15 minutes.
Very delicious Malwani food!! It's reasonably priced. We tried crab, prawns, Bombil, pomfret & shell fish. Loved the taste! It's located at Pachpakhadi & can be easily reached from Thane West station road.
Hotel Malwan has been my go-to dining destination for over two decades, and I can confidently attest to the consistent quality and delightful taste of their cuisine. Located in the heart of Thane, the restaurant offers a welcoming and homely ambiance, creating the perfect setting for indulging in some of the finest Malwani dishes.
Among my personal favorites, the Bheja Sukkha and Mutton Liver Sukkha are absolute must-tries. The Bombil Fry is a delightful delicacy that should not be missed, and their Mutton Bhaat is a true masterpiece. the chicken and various fish items on their menu are equally delectable.
If you're a fan of Malwani cuisine, Hotel Malwan is the place to be.
Taste is awesome. Must try prawns tawa fry 😋. The best malvan style food in town as per the crowd. Liquor rates are high than other normal bars. Just need to improve the ingredients of Solkadhi as Garcinia (Kokam) was missing to have that taste. Overall exp was good.
This place is been my favorite since childhood times. I have fond memories of dinner time with family and it's one of the oldest best restaurant for sea food in thane. I happened to visit it after years and it has got even better with time. I had pompfret thali, chicken pakoda and Bangda fry. And each item I had left taste buds satisfied. The preparation of meat and sea food is very fresh also the staff is very friendly

We tried the Surmai Tawa Fry, Bombil Rawa Fry, Rawas Masala Fry, Rawas Curry, Rawas Fry and Steam Rice, Vades. Just Super and Authentic Malvani food.
You can order just Fish Rassa, if you don't want a curry fish.
The Rawas Curry and Surmai Tawa Fry (with a light coating of rawa) was one of the best I've had. Absolutely Amazing.
End with a well balanced Solkadi.
The ambience is simple and average, but clean. Nothing fancy.
Prices are reasonable, considering 'its fish'.
They also serve a variety of dishes in Mutton, Chicken and are also famous for their Thalis.
Service is fast and the waiters will gladly explain you the dishes in case you enquire.
Situated at Panch Pakhadi area of Thane close to the junction.
