fish curry rice

recently visited this place which serves authentic fish with a decent ambience.
since the restaurant owners have a background from theatre and drama field they have kept the ambience with boards of various dramas in which they have contributed in some way . these drama boards have been hanged in the outdoor area which is the garden kind of area outside the restaurant .
for the indoor ambience warm lights with various frames of actors , actresses , etc all over the wall.
the restaurant has three places where the sitting is available the outer garden area , the indoor ground floor area and the first floor area.
in the fish fry we had surmai rava , surmai masala , bangda fry , bombil thecha fry and also lasuni paplet which i personally tried out for the first time.
in lasuni paplet a masala with base of lasun was stuffed in it never thought ( this was the first time i tried lasuni paplet ) it would taste so good.
all the fish variants surmai rava fry , surmai masala fry , bombil thecha fry were top notch the quality and taste is heavenly.
coming to the thalis a perfect plate , a plate of happiness i would say , the curries served with the thali were authentic and so delicious that one could even enjoy sip by sip.
meanwhile the owner also told us about how actually should we eat rice with curry.
so the actual way of having curries with rice is to add curry and also add same amount of solkadi in it .
this actually tasted so good .
we also tried their tila ( kokam) and solkadi which were totally authentic in taste.

amazing place for fish lovers , fresh fish, beautiful ambience, cooperative staff, ellaborative menu ,
the best part is the owner actually explained us how should we have the proper taste of curries and rice along with solkadhi overall amazing restaurant

want to have a glimpse of konkan, then must visit this place.

had heavenly maharashtrian malwani seafood after ages.

ambience -
its a 2 storey wada converted into this lovely restaurant. it has got:
1) outdoor seating - it is a garden area with the boards of famous marathi नाटक प्रयोग
2) ground floor - amazing fresh decor with comfortable seating for small groups.
3) 1st floor - it is huge and has got sections for large groups too.
extremely refreshing ambience, they have put photo frames of greatest marathi actors from films and theaters. it gives you the ride to rich marathi film industry.

service - i loved their hospitality and quick service. staff helps you to select dishes from their wide menu that suits your taste buds.

food -
where do i start from? because every dish that we tried, gave us a mesmerizing experience.

1) crab masala -
typical malwani preparation in red gravy. tried crabs after years. it was medium spicy and crab size large. must try.

2) bombil (bombay duck) thecha fry
what an unique preparation. thecha was stuffed in bombil and it was rava fried. therefore it was crispy from outside and bombil inside literally melted in the mouth. highly recommended

3) surmai (seer fish) masala fry
one of my favorite fish dish. surmai was huge and luscious. masala was apt and it was perfectly marinated and fried. it had lingering taste.

4) stuffed pomfret/paplet -
entire large sized pomfret stuffed with garlic and green konkani masala and was rava fry. taste was captivating and fish was fresh.

5) prawns fry -
prawns were medium size. it was rava fry and starter which vanished (ate it) in seconds as it was so scrumptious. portions could have been better.

6) thali - they have wide range of thalis with option of pomfret/surmai/bombil/bangda/prawns. go for any thali of your choice, you wont be disappointed at all.

7) tival and solkadhi
don't forget to try these appetizers which were refreshing and captivating.

highly recommended place. one of the best and authentic seafood is served here. overall had a fabulous experience

fish is my soul food. after a long time i found a place where i my soul food was served to its perfection. i have enjoyed every bit of it . to add the experience the ambience is a cherry on the top. you will get the comfort of home while your taste palate is served with the fish cooked to its perfection. thanks to mandar joshi and bhushan desai sir who helped us select the perfect dish on the menu. i would highly recommend this place. it is worth the visit.

enjoyed true konkani and malkani food.. the chef is from dapoli!! finally get in pune.. definitely part of my pune top 11

amezing place and super duper testy all menu's specially fish 🎏🎏 and clean and hygiene place also good quality and quantity please visit and enjoy the konkani style fish thali...

1 star less for poor packaging. better packaging will make it a preferred restaurant. also, prawns rice is just average.

positive review,

fish curry rice.. as simple as this place sounds, the flavors are immaculate. home style food with pure joy and service beyond belief. i actually had an epiphany here that sol-kadi traditionally doesn't have ginger flavor in it. highly recommend this place for lunches and dinners. i had an opportunity to peep into the kitchen, this place has a clean kitchen just how any of us would have at home.
also, for people who dread coming to sp college chowk, tilak road thinking parking may be an issue, guess what.. they valet!!!😎😎
special mention to mr mandar vijay joshi for being such a gracious host. 🙏🏼

the chicken wasn’t cooked at all. bad pieces and the chutney given is spoiled

they mentioned three eggs in egg curry but received only two

worst fish thali ever had ... no green chutney no lemon ... pompret curry was just water without taste.... prawns curry had gravy of paneer .... pompret fry had foul smell.....
i am regular customer of fish curry rice since last 3 year when it was a sb road
now the quality has become worst please stop fooling customers

same as expected... simply great thanks so much...........

we opted for home delivery of chicken and pomfret thali. the pomfret fish was simply awesome. very well cooked and the oil was very minimal. the order was delivered super fast and with separate packing for each item which preserved the hotness. everyone in the family just loved the food. we will order again.

the fish was so hard, rubbery, dry, stale and tasteless… not expected this and i am really disappointed with the fish curry and rice

if you love seafood then this is one of the top players in the area.. amazing taste very authentic and traditional. delicious.. too good. thanks
